I'm not really sure what this is about. It's more of a distraction than anything.

Um, hi? I'm really jusit distracting myself right now. My mother is out at the grocery store, and I am waiting for some wonderful food to show up with her before I have my breakfast. (Yes, I am aware that it is 11:30 in the morning. It's a Saturday. Cut me some slack.)

Let me attempt to justify my eating at the hour. Last night I was babysitting until about 11:30 (PM), and then my wonderful sister agreed to stay up with me to watch Mulan (I must explain- I have not seen Mulan since I was about 5. I have since youtubed most of the songs, which I can now sing by heart, but for the life of me I couldn't remember the actual story. We decided this needed remedied. ASAP. Thus, yesterday, my sensational mother went scavenging around about five bijillion video rental stores in an attempt to find said movie. At store five-bijillion-and-one, she found it, and triumphantly brought it home with a smile on her face. I think I have the most amazing mother in the world. Just saying.) Oh goodness, so we finished at about 1:30 this morning, and after that... I had school to attend to. I would STILL be in bed if I hadn't had to work today! Bwaaaahh!!

About Mulan.... Ohhhh, goodness. I seriously think Disney Princess movies are about the greatest things in the entirety of the Universe. Walt Disney would WEEP if he saw what Disney Channel had on air now. I mean, do you really want to compare Hannah Montana and Wizards of Waverly place to Cinderella and Belle? ...........didn't think so. But I was talking about Mulan. The music is incredible! I mean, Reflection! I'll Make a Man Out of You! Uhhhh, masterpieces? I think yes. But, in so many ways, it's so... messed up! There are jokes in there I definitely didn't catch when I was 5! But that's true of pretty much all the classic Disney movies- they had to keep the adults interested somehow. ;) But Mulan..... ha HA, I guess there were just too many easy set-ups (I mean, girl pretending to be a guy? Hello). Some of the..ahem, references were quite hilarious, aaaactually. And some of them I was like, Uhm, I'm blushing. In a Disney movie. Something is wrong with this picture. What's worse.... we get to the CLIMAX, where Mulan is fighting Big Beast of a Bad Guy on the roof, and it looks hopeless, but you know she has to have a plan, because it would be stupid if she just DIED, and-------- the DVD scratched. Not just a minor little five second delay. Oh no. We couldn't watch the REST OF THE MOVIE. Stupid, stupid rental stores! Ridiculous! I'm going to need serious therapy! Bwaaaah!

And all that to say...... I was up late last night. Well actually, more like this morning. But now, now the food has arrived, and I must help put it in it's proper place. So have a lovely day. Or week. Or life. Yeah, all that. :)
