@Usagi: Hello Usagi!
@Osaka: Yes, Victor Hugo is the French equivalent what of Charles Dickens is to enlgish people, so most of his books are studied in school, albeit I had read Notre-Dame (Hunchback) and Les Miserables WAY before I had to read it for school lol.

Adults are always quick to freak out over what their children are watching, but unless it's explicit, kids don't pick up on anything. o_________o I read pretty smutty manga when I was in elementary school (because this was before people realized that manga =/= cartoons) and had no idea how bad it was until I reread them years later. >____> I didn't understand, so I thought nothing of it.
But kid things have always been dark. Just look at the early Disney movies (those things were ******** terrifying) and the nursery rhymes we all grew up with.

I was going to wake up early today. I set my alarm for 7:00 and I woke up and it was 12:30. It's not a good thing to sleep through an alarm, or subconsciously turn it off and go back to sleep. >_>

@ Lone -- I wasn't on at all yesterday. D= (Well, that's a lie. At the beginning and the end. But we all know nothing interesting happens then. >___>) Man, I miss the best conversations.
That's a good one. My favorite when I was kid is about Bloody Mary and all of the people she tortured and killed. 8D Everything makes so much more sense now.
@ Winnie -- AHHH I hate it when that happens. It's like your brain is trying to sabotage you. D=

@Cupcake: My boyfriend does that all the time D: That's why when I have important stuff in the morening (AKA Exam) I have to sleep on the couch to make sure he doesn't turn off the alarm before it rings (already happened twice >>)
@Osaka: Um... let's see..
Cinderella: She kills her first step mother that was rather nice and her father marries her housekeeper, that forced her to do chores. The step sisters cut their toes and heel to fit in the shoes and pidgeons blinds them.
Litte Mermaid: Prince Marry the witch, Ariel dies.
Snowwhite: This one is weird... The Witch is forced to dance until she dies...
Sleeping Beauty: Gets rape by the Prince while she is unconcious and it's giving birth that wakes her up. She marries her father.
Red Ridding Hood: The Wolf eats her. The end.
Notre-Dame-de-Paris (Humnchback): Phoebus (who in the original story is the bad guy, not the knight in shining armour) kills Esmeralda by hanging her, then proceed to marry Fleur-de-Lys a 14-ish year old girl (Esme was 16, he is around 35). Quasimodo steals her dead body and "does away with it" until he dies of starvation.
Goldilock: There's 2 vertion, in one the bears mauls her, in the other she kills herself by jumping off the window.
Hansel and Gretel: They don' push the witch in the oven, they cut her throat up with a knife =D
Edit@Usagi: Both of them are awesome =D I love the 10 year anniversary.

Oh European stories. 8D So ******** up.
Not that they're any better anywhere else. There's a Japanese nursery rhyme about a little girl who gets kidnapped by a foreigner and is never seen again. :< And their mythology is weird.

And the morale of that story is : DO NOT TRUST FOREIGNERS.

@Lone, okay, that is all just really screwed up. Good way to bring me back down from Cloud 9, Lone, thanks. Appreciate it. >_>
Now, give me a moment, while I burn all my books that have to do with nursery rhymes. xD

@ Lone -- Exactly. No one gets brutally murdered, but it's still a crappy message to teach to children. D=

@Lone: Is the tenth anniversary where it has Lea Salonga as Eponine and Ruthie Henshall as Fantine? If so then I love it too!!!
I thought in the Little Mermaid the prince didn't marry the witch nor the mermaid, I thought it was just some random girl but maybe not....
I have heard about a version of Sleeping Beauty where she gets raped by the prince though....

@Osaka: You're welcome =D
@Loli: When you go back to japan, if you hear someone singing that, run. Run very fast.
@Usagi: Yes! It's that one! I loooooooooove Ruthie Henshall. I dunno who I love more as a Musical performer between her and Bernadette Peters... But yeah, 10th anniversary is epic.[
Edit@Usagi: Oh, perhaps. For the Mermaid. I jsut said that out of my head, but the point was that Ariel dies lol. Oh well, teaches her to stop being the selfish fish that she was. /color]

@Lone: I actually really like Lea Salonga. I like Ruthie too but I'm not familiar with a lot of what she's done other than Les Miserables. Indeed the 10th anniversary is epic! I'm trying to think who all plays who else. Judy Kuhn is Cosette, and I believe that she did the singing voice for Pocahontas. I believe that Colm Wilkonson was Jean Valjean and Micheal Ball was Marius......
Edit: Doesn't she turn to sea foam when she dies?
