for the few people who read this blog and actually know me, know that i'm a huge movie buff. i love movies. comedies, dramas, classics, action, romance - any and everything. (except for scary movies of course. because i'm a scaredy cat.) you can often catch me cuddled up on the couch watching just about anything. it's not (always) because i'm lazy, or bored or have nothing to do - i just have very fond childhood memories of getting together on the weekends with my family having a movie night together. since then, watching movies has always been something i love to do!
so i'm definitely not one to bash movie night, but it is fun to mix things up every once in a while! :)
here are 50 things you can do with your friends, your loved one, or just by yourself that don't involve your eyes being glued to the television!
