Twas Brillig

I just bought the movie Barbie in the 12 Dancing Princesses for my Fluffy, and fortunately her brothers don’t yet know that it’s not cool for them to like Barbie movies, so they’re all happily watching it. We’ve all probably seen it about 57 times now.

And I have the most random thing to admit.

I think “Prince” Derek is HOT.

I would have included a picture with that last statement, but I couldn’t find any, even through lengthy google image searches–which leads me to believe that I’m the only “grown up” who thinks that Derek is hot. Or, perhaps, that any animated character is hot.

Alas, it’s not the first time. I always kinda had a thing for Eric from The Little Mermaid and Prince Philip from Sleeping Beauty.

And really, I can’t believe I’m writing any of this.

Still, I know I’m not entirely alone. I specifically remember a moment in college when I was hanging out with some guy friends who had just seen Disney’s “Hercules” (it had just come out) and they were talking about how Meg was by far the hottest Disney character ever! When I saw the movie myself, I thought that she was definitely the skankiest of all of Disney’s princesses (which is, of course, what these guys found so appealing). Still, the fact that ALL of them were saying this about an animated character makes me think that perhaps this is not totally unheard of.

So, fess up. Did you ever have a thing for an animated character?

(And is anyone gonna agree with me about Derek? Come on…)

Well, yeah. I thought I’d add a new feature to ‘Twas Brillig–because apparently my daily blogging routine was devastatingly uncomplicated. Or something.

So, here’s the deal. In my sidebar, there will be a box highlighting three blogs. These will change every day (every day that I blog, that is…). My purpose is to tell how I met all the bloggers in my blogroll! I thought it would be fun, and challenging in some cases, since I’m not sure I even remember how I met all my bloggy friends!

And to mix things up a bit, I’m going to do it in reverse alphabetical order. Cuz, well, why not?

This would be a lovely chance for you, my dear bloggy buddies, to go to my blogroll and make sure that your link works, that it’s going to the right place–and that it’s there at all!

By the way, there is absolutely no anticipation of reciprocity here. This is just something I wanted to do, free of charge! Everyone loves to hear about how their blog was found, right?

Of course, my blogroll isn’t set in stone (even though it does seem to take me an eternity to update it). I anticipate meeting more friends along the way. Do not weep for them, Gentle Readers, for as I go along meeting new friends, I will certainly add them to the fun, even if their letter of the alphabet has already been featured.

So, now, let the linky-love begin! Go check it out! You’re likely to meet some new friends in the process!
********ETA:
Oh! And don’t worry! I’ll be filing all the bloglights into my blogroll so you can go back and see what I said about you or someone else, and you can see if someone’s already been bloglighted or not, and also so that the linky-love is permanent, and not just for a day.
