Imagination!

I am one to have a very open mind, but when it comes to science fiction movies, I can't seem to appreciate the wonders and creativity that they have to offer. I've always been into drama based movies. Movies that I can relate to. And I am a sucker for movies that are based on true stories, oh and love story movies, I am soooooo in!Soooooo when Raul and I got together, we quickly realized that we were the total opposite in that area. He lives for science fiction movies. I couldn't believe it, I thought how is this ever going to work out between us???????? LOL! I remember we use to rent movies. The routine went as followed:

1) Arrive at Hollywood video (in Pasadena)

2) Look at each other, and say "okay I'm going to my section, you go to yours." Cool!

3) After 10-15 minutes later we would meet at the ice cream/popcorn section and evaluate each others movies. Hmm I thought whatever, SCIENCE FICTION. And who knows what he was thinking, but there something registering in that noggin' of his, I could tell by his facial expressions. :)

4) Pay for everything.

5) No matter how much we argued on the way home that we were watching his movies first, I would always get my way and end up watching mine first. Only to be really sleepy by the time it was his turn to play his movie. :( He hated that, but I couldn't help it. I tried my best to stay awake.

BUT, the good thing is that Raul always manages to meet me half way when it comes to movies. He is such a movie buff and watches just about anything. He is the one with the huge imagination, and in a way I wish I had that too. Sometimes I blame my lack of imagination on my parents. Maybe they didn't let me explore enough, do a lot etc. etc. BUT another side of me doesn't blame them, because if I remember correctly we weren't allowed to watch too much TV, instead I remember reading a lot and playing outside. They say that not watching too much TV as a kid helps develop your imagination, and the same applies when you read as a child. I even remember when I was attending Catholic School, I was in third grade and during the reading period I would always go with the fifth graders because I was at that level by that time. Okay okay I had some braggin' rights there. LOL!

My imagination and the small ounce of creativity that I have does come out when it comes to decorating my room, my bathroom etc. etc. And that's why I can't wait until I'm in Texas so I can go nuts at our new place. :)So the answer hasn't been found yet. I guess I just have to accept the fact that my brain isn't wired that way. At times I can't see beyond what reality is. I still have to work on letting my mind wander off to the unknown or the what iffs!!!!! Or maybe I'm fine with the way things are. Ahh who knows!!! I'm not sure that I will ever get into SCI-FI movies. If I do I'll be sure to make it blog worthy. :)
