Chiang Mai to Hong Kong culture shock in the 5 hours I’ve been here is as follows: Pedestrians do not have the right of way. This means I can no longer run 20 feet in front of a full-speed automobile and expect it to come to a screeching halt. Toilet paper goes in the bowl. It’s xie-xie, not khop-khun-kaa. The hot pot place we went to for dinner was serving testicles of the ox, goose, and chicken variety. FRIGIDFREEZINGARCTICCOLD. I have goosebumps for the first time in 10 weeks. Ah, home sweet home.

Have I mentioned that Hercules is my official favorite adult Disney movie?

As in I will still have spasms of childish glee whenever scenes from The Little Mermaid are played, but as far as Disney movies that I, as an 18 year old sometimes-adult, will actually watch and enjoy beyond the blatant nostalgia factor, Hercules rules.  I have this whole spiel about how Hercules is the most underrated Disney movie, but I’ll spare you guys.

actually wait I think I still love Mulan the most

The great thing about having been such an intensely secretive kid, is that as I clean, I’m coming across all this birthday/Christmas money I squirreled away over the course of my childhood.  Tucked in between the pages of my favorite books, sitting in old jewelry boxes, folded in the backs of picture frames…my younger self really knew a few things about how to hide stuff.  I might just come out of this a good deal wealthier than when I started.

This is perhaps the only movie related to Christianity that I can watch without cringing.  As a religiously agnostic kid, the movie never came off as preachy or overly God-y.  Sure divinity was involved, but at its core, Prince of Egypt was about right and wrong, justice and mercy, family, and ultimately, forgiveness.  Any God parts that happened to be involved were, to me, just a good bout of cool magic.

Feeling very, very down about not being able to go to the premiere tonight.  I don’t think I’m being overly sentimental when I say it feels like I’m not going to be at the event that represents the end of my childhood.  I’m going to wallow for a little bit and then make a t shirt and then read a little more.  Everyone who’s going tonight, have a fabulous time.  Beware though: if you give me any spoilers, there WILL be eye-gouging a la Gloucester/Xander.  You have been warned.
