Obligatory annual post in my journal
I'm seeing my f-list gushing over the anniversary of Aladdin, so I just have to throw in my little contribution. I may not be as obsessed a fan as some others *cough Shiera and Sam cough*, but I owe that movie a lot as well. First, there's Iago, and I've loved him since I was... 12? I think. So it's been a while. :P Aaanyway, I've loved him because he's so entertaining and I could indentify with him quite a bit as well. Always thought he has a heart of gold (don't get me started again, Shiera ;) ), and I felt a sense of purpose in imagining that I could be a good friend to him and understand him. I think that's attracted me most of all - that I feel like he needs someone like that, and I could be that someone. But alas, he's fictional, so that could never be really fulfilled. However, here's the good news - it's thanks to Iago and the movie Aladdin that I found my best friend. A person who makes me feel happy and valuable, and this time, she's real. ;) We've known each other for almost three years now (happy early anniversary, Rebecca ;) ), and we've made it through so many ups and downs, I don't see how we could not spend the rest of our lives together in friendship (unless she gets rid of that idiot Jeremy and agrees to let me have the baby...). So just like for Shiera and Sam, Aladdin has changed my life big time and set the directions for my future, and I owe it for that. Happy annivery everyone!
