Life Reflections in Disney

I'm an over-analyzer. So much so, in fact, that I prefer essay questions in tests over multiple choice. Maybe because I prefer to prove how much I understand in writing (figures), but multiple choice questions make me feel like the poster child for ADHD. My mind often works like this...

Ok, I want to choose A, because B sounds stupid. But wouldn't C, all of the above, ACTUALLY WORK? Is that what the instructor wants me to choose? You know, technically...hey, is that a bagel? I didn't know you could bring bagels into the test. Wait, I hope no one sees me looking. I'm not cheating. I don't have to cheat. I studied. Crap, I've been spending at least 2 minutes on this question. That average time wasted per question won't leave me enough time to finish this exam. So A, B, or C? Ok, I have to skip this and come back. I hope my stomach growling is not loud enough to distract other people. I think the person next to me just flinched. I'm sorry that it sounds like the Hulk is trying to get out of my stomach. I ate 2 hours ago. I thought I was good. Didn't someone say that C is most likely the correct answer if you can't decide? Or should I go with my initial choice. Damn this teacher and his trickery! Damn him!

I wish I could honestly tell you this is an exaggeration. But it is not. So now you understand the scope of my problem. That said, I was thinking about famous characters from Disney and how they actually represent people you may come across in life. Some of these character traits are a little exaggerated (unless someone is literally trying to usurp your rightful place as king, for example) and some are pretty much right on. You decide who these people represent in your life. In no particular order:

1. Beast (Beauty and the Beast, duh): Looks tough, but is sensative deep down inside. Tries to hide sensativity with a crazy temper. Probably Arab-which explains the hairyness.

2. Captain Hook (Peter Pan): The person that won't let something go. There's persistance and then there's obsessive. Seriously, just let go. It'll improve your health.

3. Centipede (James and the Giant Peach): The person that doesn't know their boundaries. They will keep going until they literally put your group in danger or fighting ensues. Don't be surprised if the cops get involved. Everyone's yelled at them at some point.

4. Doc (Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs): The person too old to be hanging out with you. They should probably hang it up and join some sort of harmless, organized fun (i.e. Bingo). Otherwise they'll complain about how their wild days are over the whole time.

5. Dory (Nemo): You hated them to begin with. They still say the stupidest things. It took you a while to appreciate them, but you eventually came around. You might even enjoy their company now. Tell 'em you used to hate them just for the hell of it. They won't care.

6. Fifi the Featherduster (Beauty and the Beast) : Known for promiscuity and sex appeal. This person ain't called the "featherduster" for no reason. (See also-Jessica Rabbit of Who Framed Roger Rabbit)

7. Flotsam and Jetsam (The Little Mermaid): Every a-hole has an entourage. They do nothing but encourage the idiocy of said a-hole. They laugh at all the jokes, provide annoying commentary on mundane situations, and plot evil things. Their eyes might give it away.

8. Flounder (The Little Mermaid): The Robin to your Batman. What's the saying? "A Friend Is Someone Who Will Bail You out of Jail, but Your Best Friend Is the One Sitting next to you Saying 'That Was F***ing Awesome!" (see also-Timon and Pumbaa of The Lion King)

9. Gaston (Beauty and the Beast): Initially thought to be good looking until they spoke. You now wonder why the admiration for their looks ever existed. Looks don't make up for stupid or crazy.

10. Meeko (Pocahontas): How did they get in? You don't know. They're just there.

11. Abu (Aladdin): OH, haha, right...wait...what? Usually nonsensical, this person seems to be around for some talent you apparently can't do without. (See also-Rafiki of The Lion King)

12. Cogsworth (Beauty and the Beast): The little b*tch- always there to tell you what you can't do and why you can't. (See also- Sebastion of The Little Mermaid, Zazu of The Lion King)

13. Scar (The Lion King): As if this weren't obvious...the backstabber. They also may attempt to usurp you from your rightful place as King, depending on your standing in life.

14. Tinker Bell (Peter Pan): The jealous type. There for drama. Usually a victim of responsible for unresolved issues.

15. Thumper (Bambi): The know it all. They correct you even when they're wrong. What you wouldn't give to punch them in the ovaries.

16. Tigger (The Many Adventures of Winny the Poo): An endless source of inexplicable energy. There's no reason to see them late at night or early in the morning.

17. Eeyore (The Many Adventures of Winny the Poo): On suicide watch. The glass is not half empty, it is shattered and currently being used as a weapon to cut themselves with to "feel something".

18. Scuttle (The Little Mermaid): Misinformation extraordinaire. If you want the most fantastic load of crap you've ever heard, you'll probably hear it from this person. They don't mean to lie, but they can't help that they're slow.

19. Pinocchio (Pinocchio): You need to call them on their bull crap or they'll keep at it. "Oh, I didn't know we were supposed to meet at 7!" Stop lying, you LIAR! You and Thumper are such @$$holes!

20. Cheshire Cat (Alice in Wonderland): Creepster. Everyone else seems to like them, but you still don't trust them (and rightfully so). See also: Everyone else in Alice in Wonderland.
