Hello my darlings!
I hope you are all doing well! I had my crazy double wedding weekend, last weekend, and had an awful sinus infection (naturally, since I live my life by Murphy's law) so i was kind of a wreck. I mean there were fun, but it is all kind of a sinus medication blur.
So instead of boring you all with those deets i want to talk about something, and this is serious business, Disney Sequels. The other night I saw a commericail for this: 
WTF A DISNEY PREQUEL? Ughh, i am sure they will fuck it up, when will there learn- leave the classics alone! they are perfect do not touch them. 
However, that being said, i will probably watch/buy it since it is The Little Mermaid-- damn it why am I such marketers dream? I buy whatever they tell me!
But now that we are on the topic of the Little Mermaid, let me tell you guys a tale. As a child me and my cousin, Martha, (same age) LOVED TLM, i mean we were like obsessed with it. Now at this beach we went to there was this rock, it was flat and raised up, right by the water- so at high tide the water would come over splashing everywhere. So naturally we took turns playing "ariel and singing ( you know the ahhh-ahh- ahhh- ahhh-ahhhhh-ahhhhhh etc) and sometimes, when it was low tide, the one not playing ariel would fill up a bucket of water and throw it on the other when they hit the high note.
How cool were we? Also i should add in a little aside about praino here- as a kid i had a fear of periwinkles, so i would always make martha pick them off. so one day my uncle and his friend go by (the youngest uncle so i would say he was in his 20s), now his friend, James, was like the guy that girls all had crushes on- even at the tender age of 6 or 7 me and martha both felt this guys charm. so he comes over and asks martha what she is doing, ever so diligently picking off the offending periwinkles. So tells him that i dont like them, so then he picks one off and puts it in his mouth like he is eating it. So what does little praino do. scream. and run off the beach.
so yea, thats my story. and i feel that this is fitting, given the nature of this post:

I've never been ok with Disney's apparent desire to ruin their own movies. These are classics people, not franchises. Haha.
And although I've heard those stories about your mermaid like adventures on the beach as a youngster, they still make me laugh uncontrollably.
I will be there right with you to watch this movie.
Also, I feel like if I should ever feel the need to have to explain you, Prain, this email would do it for me.
Tulls: I am that even though you've heard the mermaid tale ( or tail haha!) it still makes you laugh.
Maria: yes, i think if anyone ever asks you why i am the way i am just shoot them this thing. i mean it has it all: my love of disney, being retarded, irrational fears etc etc
I should write a book about this shit, my whole life is like this. I've told you guys the BSB story (tulls i know that i have told you, probably multiple times) or better yet the trauma that was overnight camp?
