I’m watching Quest for Camelot with my crew and Bethany. My parents are out for the evening and this was the unanimous choice for movie enjoyment. This movie has to be the Godfather of old-school animations. I loved this cartoon when I was little. [I mean age-wise not height-wise. Shut up Mackenna.] I love the way the hero of the movie, the main man, manages to be a prince charming while being so flawed. I mean take Snow White’s prince, perfect, unblemished, flawless in every aspect. Perfect hair, perfect accent, ideal in everything including being able to give Snow White exactly what she wants and needs. Now take Garrett, the PC [prince charming] of Quest for Camelot. He has greasy hair, shredded clothes [aHA! That’s what captivated Kayley -winks-], and to top it off, he’s blind! He can’t see, he lives by himself in a forest filled with creatures from a writer’s darkest imagination and he STILL manages to be everyone’s favorite character! He saves the day, becomes the hero, and gets the girl! Oh and did I mention? HE SINGS TOO! What skill. To be so flawed and still be top dog. What skill! Oh Lord…I believe I’m in love with a cartoon…

Oh and the villain. Written perfection. Creepy enough to haunt a child’s dreams, yet subtle enough so that they won’t need a parent to comfort them after dreaming about him. The ideal blend of chilling and intimidating to someone 7, 8, or 9 years old. At least, when I was 7 it was creepy enough. Kids these days would eat that movie for breakfast. Ruber was certainly bloodcurdling to someone like me when I was young. I mean, if the twitching of his left eye whenever he gets excited doesn’t freak you out, the fact that he can grab a handful of coals without being singed and create dragons out of smoke should be at least a little startling to some… It’s creepy OK?!?!

Well, my sister has done it. The ultimatum. My cute, innocent, easy-going, laid-back, little sister has broken her ankle. She is Capitan of our JV basketball team and she twisted her ankle by stepping on a rival player’s foot. She sat out the rest of that game and when she still couldn’t put pressure on it by the Varsity games rolled around we knew it couldn’t be just a sprain. A couple of X-ray’s and a creepy decrepit Doctor later and she has a slight fracture of a bone in her ankle. Poor girl! She’s so depressed that she’s out of games for at least a month. I feel horrible for her. Every time we head out to a game and I see tears in her eyes while she has to watch her teammates play I wish It had been me. Oh I wish it had been me! She didn’t deserve that. it shouldn’t have been her. =[ my poor, unfortunate sister chick.

Kayley: Why won't you look at me when I'm talking to you?... Oh. Oh, I didn't realize you were...
Garrett: What? Tall? Rugged? Handsome?
Kayley: Blind.
Garrett: ...You know, I always forget that one.

Oh my GOSH, he has a sense of humor too?!? Someone catch me.

Ahh [BTW Let me clear something up, when I say AHH I mean it like a groan. Like GAH! Not a sigh like ahhh. OK, glad to have that out of the way.] My parents and I have been watching Lost, we’re on disk 2 of the first season. I know, I know, barely into it, but we don’t have TONS of time you know. It’s a horrible show to watch at random times though. It’s such a cliff-hanger. Every episode leaves you hanging. And it doesn’t help that I’ve seen random episodes from random seasons. So I remember something that happened in the second season and wonder if it ties into the what happened in the first season because I haven’t seen so many of the episodes in between, so I don’t know…GAH! It’s so nerve-wracking! -head to brick wall-

I love the song Garrett sings in this movie. It reminds e a lot of my life. Not to sound like a depressed teenager on the verge giving in or something. -laughs-  I just like the lyrics. =] Makes me think of my whole "Courtship" battle. -laughs- Battle, I say battle, it's more like just one of those "agree-to-disagree" things.

Garrett: Like every tree stands on it's own/ Reaching for the the sky, I stand alone/ I share my world with no one else/ All by myself, I stand alone/ I've seen your world/ With these very eyes/ Don't come any closer/ Don't even try/ I've felt all the pain/ Heard all the lies/ But in my world, there's no compromise/ Like every tree stands on it's own/ Reaching for the the sky, I stand alone/ I share my world with no one else/ All by myself, I stand alone

Goodnight readers.

“FOR CAMELOT!!!!!”
