Going to Center School today!!! EEEEEEEEE!!! I'm so excited, I'm going to go visit Jane today in about an hour. :D ;D :D
Completely unrelated to that, and the real reason I'm posting was that a couple nights ago, as I was drifting off to sleep, I was hit by a stroke of brilliance? Insanity? I'm not sure.
It just disturbed me how easily Belle can be spoofed on as Bella Swan. Scarily so, at least in shades.
Just sing this in the whiniest voice possible:
BELLE
Little town, it's a quiet village
Every day like the one before
Little town, full of little people
Waking up to say...
TOWNSPEOPLE
"New girl! New girl! Hey, look at the new girl!!"
BELLE
There goes the baker with his tray like always,
The same old bread and rolls to sell.
Every morning just the same
Since the morning that I came
To this drab, dark, boring town...
BAKER
"Good morning, Belle!"
BELLE
"Good morning, monsieur."
BAKER
"Where are you off to?"
BELLE
"The bookshop. I just finished the most wonderful story about a vampire and a werewolf and..."
BAKER
*insert look of worry and fear* "Th-that's nice. MARIE, THE BAGUETTES! HURRY UP!!!"
*Belle shrugs and carries on, just figuring that the baker is a weirdo not worth her time anyway*
TOWNSPEOPLE
Look, there she goes, that girl is strange, no question
Dazed and distracted, can't you tell?
Never part of any crowd
'Cause she thinks we're crude and loud
No denying she's a funny girl, that Belle...
BOYS IN TOWN
Hey dude!
What's up?
Check out the new chick.
She won't give us the time of day!
But yet, we still think she's so pretty...
BELLE
There must be more than these unworthy boys!
*Stumbles over the threshold of the bookshop*
BOOKSELLER
"Ah, Belle!"
BELLE
"Good morning. I've come to return the book I borrowed."
BOOKSELLER
"Finished already?"
BELLE
"I couldn't put it down. Besides, it's not like there's anything else to do in this town. Have you got anything new?"
BOOKSELLER
"Not since yesterday..."
BELLE
"That's all right." *rolls her eyes* "I'll borrow...this one!"
BOOKSELLER
*look of concern* "That one? But you've read it twice!"
BELLE
"Well, it's my favorite! Far-off places, sparkly vampires, Indian legends, a coven in disguise!"
BOOKSELLER
"Well, since you like it all that much...it's yours."
BELLE
"Really?"
BOOKSELLER
"Yes. Really, you're doing me a favor taking it off my hands..."
BELLE
"Oh, well, thanks! ...Um, I'll get going now."
*Stumbles over the threshold of the shop again*
TOWNSPEOPLE
Look, there she goes, the girl is so peculiar
I wonder if she's feeling well
With a sullen, pissed off look
And her nose stuck in a book
What a puzzle to the rest of us is Belle....
BELLE
*Talking to sheep because clearly, nobody else would understand*
Oh, isn't this amazing?
It's my favorite part because, you'll see
Here's where she meets the vampire
But she won't discover what he is 'til chapter 3!
BOYS IN TOWN
Now it's no wonder that her name means beauty
Her looks have got no parallel
But she won't give us the chance
To ask her to the school dance,
GIRLS IN TOWN
She's so different from the rest of us
She's nothing like the rest of us
Yes, different from the rest of us is Belle!
And with that, I need to stop...maybe another time I'll continue and write Gaston as Edward or womething... XD
