bet'cha on land, they understand, bet they dont reprimand their daughters

so i pretty much had two very different conversations about the same thing tonight. see, ever since i first saw the little mermaid ive pretty much been obsessed with it. i used to call forks dingle-hoppers when i was younger, i used to try to make lele's bangs do that swoopy thing ariel's did in the movie(i couldnt do it with my hair bc my hair was curly and this was the pre-flat iron era), and ive always wanted red hair (unfortunately with my complexion it just doesnt work). so today when i was talking about what exactly i'd like my ideal husband/man/significant other, whatever you wanna call him, at dinner i was describing the tall, dark haired man of my dreams and all the personality traits i think i'd really like to have in someone. so i get home and im kind of still thinking about it and i end up having a cupcake that has an ariel ring on it, and its then that i realize that at dinner when i was describing my ideal mate, it was pretty much a real life version of prince eric. it just made me chuckle when i realized that, so i thought id write about it. now im wondering if i will ever find a real life eric, i mean, if someone had to dream him up he probably doesn't really exist. freaking disney-- made my childhood but is ruining my adulthood.

I think Disney ruined a lot of kids' childhoods. And I do love The Little Mermaid, it is one of my favorite ones. However, I think it is important that we understand that those are just stories. And that some of those people are just characters. Yes, they may exist out there in some ephemeral form, but it is so rare. That doesn't mean you should stop looking though. But I totally identify with this post, which is really what I wanted to say.

aw lol yeah. im like half serious about the prince eric thing, although it would be awesome. i'd love to be a princess but im sure things like that are reserved for people like grace kelly.
