I answered "never alone" on the poll, which is true, but I hadn't thought about why until I saw this post.

I think the reason why is because I like movies, but not enough to go out and see them of my own volition. They are expensive, and take up a good chunk of my time, and I guess it is my social nature that says that if I am going to spend that much time and money on something, it had BETTER build up one of my social relationships.

The same thing goes for videos. If I have a video already in the house, and I have NOTHING else I want to do (rare now that I have RinkChat to fall back on as a cure for boredom) I will watch a movie. Because of the cost, though, I would almost never go out and rent one just for myself. I would be willing to pay for it if I had even one other person to watch it with, though.

In summary: I am social. Q.E.D.
