Aria in Elysium

Moment

This blog was inspired by The Literary Penguin . His blog is awesome. Check it out.

Anyways...there have been...a lot of moments in my life.

You know, those moments that change your view on life, or moments in which you think you connect with someone--or moments that are, for some reason or another forever burned into you mind.


The "moment" which first popped to mind for me was.....

When I watched "The Nutcracker Prince" when I was a small child.

I FELL IN LOVE WITH THAT MOVIE.

I still have that movie, and I see it frequently.

I remember being...captivated by the story. It was sweet, beautiful, full of bravery and nonesense--and near the end, a little tragedy. The colors of that movie, the voices, the characters where trapped in my heart. Unfortunately, the movie was rented from the library, and we had to return it.

Even as I grew up, I searched for that movie again, and I didn't find it until my wonderful Russian Prince gave it to me ((I love him!)). Since then I have a Nutcracker Collection--6 dolls 2 musical boxes that play songs from the ballet((one of them from my love)) and 2 books, AND the movie...obssessed much? Yea.

Something about that fairy tale always...captivated me...who cares about the Frog Prince? FYI. in the original, she never kisses the damn thing--she throws it against the wall! And then it turns into a prince, and for some reason, he STILL wants to marry the girl! WEIRDO! And don't even get me started on "The Little Mermaid"! ....the original one...

Anyways, I guess I like the Nutcracker tale because...its both sweet and tragic...."real" and fantasy....its just...perfect. It gives me comfort....I like it.

Ok, this isn't as deep as the penguins but...I never claimed it would be anyways
