MOVIE DATE WITH STARSTRINGS01

Hello everyone, I do hope you’re having a day as good as mine!

Every other day, I'm raving to folks about how leaving my safe space stresses me out. Parties, casual get-togethers, and anything else beyond the bounds of my office or home worried me to the core. However, I made a promise to myself to go out, have fun, and relax. And you can bet I've been keeping my end of the bargain!

Last time it was with a couple other hivers. This time, it was a dear friend, @starstrings01. I should also mention that I had a good time.

When I say Hive has benefited me in more ways than I can count, I mean it. I met some fantastic folks, including Star (as I like to call him), @ksam, and @jossedicus, to name a few.

Starstrings and I chose Genesis Cinema in Ikeja City Mall, ICM. The plan was to meet around 12: 30pm. The chosen movie was Sonic the Hedgehog 2.

Before I go any further, I’d like to add that we Africans and our African timing are like two opposite sides of a coin. One is never without the other. I'm sure you can guess where this is headed. Despite making all our plans well in advance, we were unable to meet up due to two reasons; the first was that he he left home about an hour later than agreed, the second reason was Lagos traffic.

The fact is that he was coming from a long distance and chose to come all the way to ICM because it was closer and more convenient for me. My kind of gentleman. I reiterate this at every opportunity I get, Star is a very kind person.

Well, we decided to settle for whatever the next movie was (3:00pm). It really didn’t matter what movie we saw, it was meeting again in person that actually mattered to us.

Now, here’s where things gets crazy. Just when Star calls to tell me to leave my house for the cinema, it starts to rain heavily. I’m talking thunderstorms, heavy wind, lightning, etc, the type of rain that make it appear as though like day turns into night.

Mind you, this was the second time I had to take my clothes off. I started to believe that the cosmos was conspiring against our movie date. Under different circumstances, I would have cancelled the meeting, but this time, I couldn’t because it was with @starstrings01, and he had come a very long way simply to see a movie with me. I couldn’t afford to disappoint.

I resolved to make it to the movie date come hell or high water, rain or shine. Since the rain wouldn’t let me head out, Star decided to find me an Uber driver who was willing to drive in the terrible weather. Yes, we found one in no time , and voila, I made it there.

****MOVIE TIME:****

There were several other movies to choose from, but I stuck with Sonic the Hedgehog regardless.

In a nutshell, the movie was awesome! I’d give you details, but I'm trying not to be a spoiler. Besides, @starstrings01 is working on a juicy review of this movie for your reading pleasure.

I had a swell time; we talked, we laughed, I slept off a few times because it was so chilly ( which I denied vehemently every time he asked if I was sleeping), and he wouldn’t stop eating my popcorn under the guise that he had finished his. Lol.

Usually, my social battery doesn’t last for so long, but this time, I had more than enough energy to chill out, but we had to call it a day because of Lagos traffic!

Thank you for a beautiful evening Starstrings.

Do I recommend seeing this movie? Oh yes I do.
Would I see another movie with @starstrings01? Of course I would!
