Top 12 reasons why Sleeping Beauty had it right
18 March 2004
- Born in to wealth
- Envy of the evil-doers
- Didn't have to deal with irritating people
- Instead... she got to grow up in the woods
- Raised by 3 magikal, good faeries
- Who did nothing but encourage her...
- ... to sing with the animals everyday
- Then the handsome prince stumbles across her in the woods and is completely and immediately under her spell
- All the while she has no idea she's 'charming' Prince Philip, she's just brushing her hair and looking at her reflection in the pools of tepid water
Let's all break for a moment to recognize her sheer brilliance thus far - A) not having to go to bars, B) not picking up little boys, C) not having to deal with irritating co-workers, D) no hangovers, regrets, or holy crap where is my bra, and E) where the F-enheimer are her rent bills, car payments, school loans, grocery bills, heat & electric bills, gas bills, water bills, car insurance, medical insurance, and budget to buy toilet paper? Sleeping Beauty is a fucking genius and should win the Nobel Prize for Brilliance Award.
- Things start to get a little tough now, so what does she do? She goes to sleep
(*Mental note to self: I love sleep too. I'm going to try this approach*)
- When everything blows over, along comes the Prince to wake her up (to hell with alarm clocks)
- Happily Ever After

Wow, I never realized there was all that back-story to Sleeping Beauty. I've been Disney-fied and missed all the good stuff. I thought she just slept and some blonde guy came and woke her up.
Dude - all that stuff WAS in the Disney movie. I think I would prefer to be Belle from Ariel from the Little Mermaid though. Maybe I could be a break-dancing Ariel... what do you think? OOOOH! OOOOH! Check out my Blog! I'm going to play a game!
