"because it's from outer space? what do you want from me?"

[rocknload]

This is the first time I've ever written a paper that's a whole page longer than the minimum specified requirements. Possibly because I got to speculate on the motivations of a carnivorous alien menace and include phrases like, "It's unfortunate that the scientifically motivated characters didn't get a chance to speculate more before they were killed and eaten."

It's possible I may be choosing the long line of work, here. Is there a line of work where you get to speculate about aliens? I'm totally there.

Edit: Though I may be ill-suited for science stuff, at least I didn't spent the entire class doodling about Dan the DNA Man and the wacky adventures of Mitosis and Meiosis. Unlike someone I know.

Also, I think I'm changing my schedule to take microbiology next semester. Holy crap, that topic drives me crazy. I must understand it.

Eh, I think she's wrong. For one, I don't think getting your hair done up all pretty and dancing around in a gorgeous is a sign of being grown up and boring, and considering the very end of the movie had her dancing around the apartment like a gleeful crazy person, I don't see how it showed that she gave up her magical Disney princess-ness.

Also, the movie pretty clearly showed that Giselle wanted to become more, hmm, three dimensional? She liked the "real world," so staying here wasn't a hardship or anything! She didn't just stay for Robert. Edward, on the other hand, hated it and felt awkward and out of place, so he went back. Everyone was happy!

I think the premise of the movie was more like DO WHAT MAKES YOU HAPPY. For some, it's cartoon land, for others, it's New York land! The fairy tale option isn't right for everyone--Robert would have hated it so much--and neither is the other thing.

... I think you are the only person that causes me to do this.

Hm. That sounds like a better-thought-out, Disneyish sort of GOAL. I'll see if I can rent it this weekend.

It is totally why you keep coming back.

You're making me sell you Enchanted. AND I KEEP THINKING UP MORE THINGS. Like the fact that after getting a taste of 3D it's pretty doubtful that Giselle would have been happy back in cartoonland even if she hadn't fallen for Robert, while Edward would have been absolutely miserable in New York, even if he would've put up with his misery if someone really asked him to--so they really couldn't have ended up together anyway! They could've, but neither of them would've been super happy no matter which world they lived in.

META IS BAD FOR MY BRAIN.

You're going to start writing fic any minute now. I love this.

I'm still trying to beat a Speed Racer fic to death so it stops bothering me into some kind of shape. BRAINSPACE ALREADY OCCUPIED. So ha. I... I win.

[unicorn]

I think that I'll win as soon as you stop and reexamine that definition of winning.

'cos.

Oh god who am I kidding AHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
