The Nerd Inside
Audrey has reached that age where she is able to sit through a movie and not become agitated or bored. It began months ago with 'WALL-E', which I did not mind since every time I view this movie I see something new. It really is a great story.
Well, last week she randomly decided she that didn't want to watch 'WALL-E' for the fifty millionth time and instead pulled out the 'Aladdin' DVD I bought in 2004. Since then she has viewed this movie she simply refers to as 'Jasmine' 4 times and each time I have sat down with her. There is something about that movie ... although, 'Beauty and the Beast' will always be my favorite Disney cartoon I just can't help, but get lost in the story and fantasy of 'Aladdin'. I've even found myself watching the DVD extras.
Well, this also made me remember a story I attempted around the time of the movie's release in theaters. This would have put me at the age 12. I really need to find it, because I'm sure I've kept the papers somewhere. Anyway ... really this story would be my first attempt at non cannon fanfiction, because it takes the story of Aladdin, but makes it so Jasmine and Aladdin change places. She's the street rat and he's the prince. Instead of a monkey named Abu there is a snake, but what is most shocking is the ending I produced in my head, but never managed to get down on paper. She ends up with the Genie who she wishes human.
Oh, silly 12 year old nerd Christina.
I do believe I even drew artwork for this story. I must go searching now. I am feeling very nostalgic. Nostalgic and nerdy. lol
