i asked my dad & my beau why they played the wizard of oz around xmas time every year. my dad said he didnt know, but they'd been doing it for damn-near fifty years.

which started a word-vomit to my beau about how the wizard of oz should be the weird drug movie everyone overexposes instead of alice in wonderland. same concept where it's just a dream the whole time. even if alice has more drug references, dorothy & co. still frolic in a field of poppies & get showered with cocaine-snow to wake them up. there's a big town made of candy with midgits. talking trees & inanimate objects & animals in both.

& a minor note, because i'm not an expert on any of this, but i think dorothy follows a trip. she wanders, she has the rising action of killing the witch, & then falling action. you build up to a peak & come down again. alice, on the other hand, wakes up right at her climax where card guards & the red queen are gonna chop her fuckin' head off. that's usually the part where the tripper in question sobs & rips their own eyes out with the candelabra they found on the dining room table that looked like a ferret. she doesnt really come down, she just wakes up.

it just pisses me off in general when people say "uhuhuhuh, she's trippin sac." she isnt. her imagination just hasnt had the chance to be corrupted by these mass-produced cartoons & stories & movies that take over our heads. the imagination of a kid hundreds of years ago is going to be wonderfully vast with only the suggestions of book & pictures. my imagination blows & i dream about my memories. things i draw up out of thin air are made of parts of other things, like ren & stimpy & a toy i had & a song i heard once. i have so many things at my disposal, i drown in them.

in conclusion.
i think everyone should stop demonizing alice & making her into something she's not & pick on dorothy instead, so everyone will stop being a fag to me when i say it's one of my favorite books &/or movies. dorothy is just a stupid ginger kid, anyway.
