happiness

This weekend my best friend Nikki stayed at my house. We had the brilliant idea of a Disney movie marathon on Saturday night, and so with snacks of epic proportions and a stack of old VHS tapes we began! By 4:00 in the morning we had watched Beauty & the Beast (my all-time favorite... Belle is my hero, the Beast's library is what heaven looks like, and Belle's inventor father reminds me of my awesome dad), Peter Pan, Alladin, and The Little Mermaid. 'Twas amazing. There was much inside-joking and debating over who is the Disney man we most wish were real (probably Alladin). The next morning we woke up and watched Pocahontas, with hot drinks while perfect snow was falling outside.

Annnd... I was really happy! And it was very good. It was one of those moments when I get to say to my heros, "You have awesome lives, but you don't get this perfect moment! And right now I am not jealous of anyone." (well except Belle who gets to go to that FREAKING HUGE LIBRARY every day. :P) And anyway, I realized, that if I am sad, the usual brooding / depressive-ing / angsting will only make it worse. Better solutions may be Disney movies, cookies, friends, dreams, and such. This probably won't stop me from angsting in the future... but it's good to know anyway.
