Workless Wednesday...

I don't have work on Wednesdays. Did you know that? Well, I did for a little while, and then I said to myself, "Self, Wednesdays are just too long." So I stopped going on Wednesday. Now I get to sleep in a little bit, eat breakfast at my leisure, catch up on my homework, and do a little blogging.

I invited you all for breakfast. I was going to post pictures of the amazing pancakes I was going to cook, but then... I wanted oatmeal. Sorry guys. And they were even going to be Little Mermaid pancakes in honor of today's post. I just happen to be an awesome shaper of pancake batter. Did you know that?

Well, now you do.

Once upon a time.... I wrote this post. You should probably read it for a little backstory. It involves my deep and long-lasting infatuation with Prince Eric. There are three links now. You can't miss them.

I'll give you some space to go read and mull things over....

Are we good? This is a long one. But one that will teach you about the true me. One August of 2006, I decided that college was finally ready for my fine, new mature me. (Hah!) I hid the fact that I had a Disney Princess journal purchased at Disney World during junior year choir tour.

(You don't believe I have one, do you? I can see the look in your eyes!)

Well, check THAT out:

(Excuse the poor quality, Photo Booth can only do so much.)

I, afraid of what the world might do to me should I reveal my true inner Disney lover, move into an apartment of five complete strangers. I meet my soulmate in Megan, who immediately assigns everybody a Disney Princess and gives them a page to color and put on their door.

(I bet you think I don't have pictures of these either.)

Well, check THESE out:

Oh don't worry. I have one too. 

I'll give you one guess as to who is left:

"But Chess!" you protest. "Except for Belle, their hair is all wrong." We were instructed to color them as our own hair currently dictated. That is why Ariel has blonde streaks in the black. I tried to make honey-brown, but that didn't work.

"But Chess, how come your picture doesn't look like the others?" That's because I had my OWN coloring book, purchased on my 12th birthday, when I went to see Disney on Ice. That's right. You heard me. I went to see the Little Mermaid whiz around on ice-skates. 

Anyway, the point of this story. Ever since freshman year, it's become the Original Six's tradition to ask guys who their favorite Disney princess is and why. We don't tell them why. We just chuckle to ourselves over their reasons. Usually, it's either Belle or Jasmine. Which is why, two posts ago, when Rick and Mr. SovietChairman commented and said they liked Ariel the best, I got really excited. In four years of asking, that has NEVER happened! Poor little redheaded fish-girl is sooooo underrated. I bet if Charlie Brown were a fish-boy, he'd like her.

So thanks for a good laugh and a big smile, boys. It made my weekend a little bit brighter!

To the rest of you, I think you should go read these guys' blogs. Rick makes yummy treats and sprinkles them with beautifully sarcastic humor, and SovietChairman has all these cool little sketches on his posts, and they both just have a nice prose style. I enjoy it. It's always great fun for me to run into blogs like these that just make me smile. I highly recommend!

So on this Wednesday...

Tell me who your favorite princess is and why?
