The Forbidden Kingdom was amazing! I got back a few hours ago (4) from seeing it, and I can't get it out of my mind! Makes me want to take kung-fu lessons. Oh woe is me! Wanting to speak Japanese yet wanting to practice Chinese martial arts! ^_^ Ya...I know...pathetic.
I actually went and saw it with Kyle. He's an OK guy. I think he enjoyed the movie as much as I did, but for some reason I feel as though he only sat through it for my sake. After the movie, we went and had Chinese food (I thought it appropriate). He put up no fuss. My fortune cookie said something along the lines of, "Appreciated the advice of good friends." I immediately thought of Nancy. She had told me to nip any kind of relationship with him in the bud. Well, I don't plan to nip it entirely in the bud. Only the romantic portion of it. According to him, the reason he asked me out in the first place is because of an epiphany he had about a month and a half ago. He said that while it may have seemed sudden to me, he had been thinking it over for a while. I asked him just why he would want me as a girlfriend, I even listed several reasons and an example as to why he should not want to date me. He counted each, called me smart and a little bit of a nerd, which I take pride in, and called me a rare find in the area we live in. Of course I'm a rare find. Not to be racial or anything, but how many nerdy white girls does one find in Salinas? He's good as a friend, but I don't see him as dating material for me. Besides, he failed in my boyfriend test: he hates book stores. I walked him through the book store in the mall, he didn't even stop to look at anything. Criticized everything we saw. Ya...and he still thinks I may change my mind. Said that if I ever did, he would be waiting. Sorry, hun. Not happening. In the end, I ended up giving him a ride home, seeing as he was stranded until his dad decided to pick him up. Let me tell you, I fear the roads even more if he ever got his license. Couldn't tell left from right half the time. All I know is that I had fun watching the movie with him and want to do it again sometime. We even plan on going to see Ironman when it comes out in May. I really don't want him to get the wrong idea, though. I've told him a few times that I'm just not ready to date. If he keeps pushing, I may have to distance myself from him.
