I wanna go to Disneyland, so freakin' bad!

Disney and I were made for each other, I swear it. I absolutely love Disney. If you have watched a Disney movie with me, you know it, for you have witnessed me freak out because of the castle and theme music at the beginning of the movie. And if you have ever gone with me to Disneyland, you have witnessed a greater excitement than you probably ever expected to see from me. And each time I go, this excitement becomes greater. The last time I went I almost thought I'd pass out, my breathing got so fast and I was squealing so much.

Anyway, I took a survey from several of my friends finding out what Disney character they thought I would be. Here are the results:

Abu from Aladdin: 1
Ariel from The Little Mermaid: 9
Aurora from Sleeping Beauty: 1
Beast from Beauty and the Beast: 1
Jessica Rabbit from Who Framed Roger Rabbit?: 1
Lilo from Lilo and Stitch: 1
Lottie from Princess and the Frog: 1
Minnie Mouse: 2
Pacha's Wife from The Emperor's New Groove: 1
Pain and Panic from Hercules: 1
Pascal from Tangled: 1
Repunzel from Tangled: 1
Robin Hood from Robin Hood: 1
Sally from The Nightmare Before Christmas: 2
Snow White from Snow White: 1
The 3 good fairies from Sleeping Beauty: 1
Tiana from Princess and the Frog: 1
Tiger Lilly from Peter Pan: 1

Everyone had different reasons for the character they chose, so I thought I'd share a few of those reasons: "Sally escapes her prison, she falls in love with Jack for who he truly is and helps him in every way she can, she fights for the right, and she sings beautifully. Also, your man is too busy chasing some dream to realize you're there" (Jani Grover).
"Ariel is pretty, has red hair, wants to do things her own way, independent in some ways and not in other ways, curious, inquisitive" (my mother, Sheryl Devereaux).
"You're Minnie, because I'm Mickey" (Anonymous).
"You would be Ariel. You've got red hair, you sing, you don't like octopuses..." (Andrew Stratford).
"People mistake Jessica Rabbit's behavior towards men as her being interested in them, romantically" (Jani Grover).

The great thing about this survey is, not only do we have fun imagining what Disney character I would be, but I also learn what my friends think of me. And I discover their sense of humor. According to my friends I am: "funny, imaginitive, nice and loving, and [I am] not like everyone else" (Scott Nicholes).
"[I am] free spirited and curious about the world around [me]" (Jared Slater).
"[I am] very diverse" (Beth Black).
"[I have] red hair, duh!" (Joby Wahl) "...and awesome singing skills" (Tsivya Devereaux).
And, apparently, I "exhibit similar characteristics" as Pain and Panic.

Ariel from the Little Mermaid won, obviously.
