Glad you liked the reference. She can be worse than a 'stinker' sometimes. She's not the Elsa type of stinker either... Yeah, I just can't bring myself to pirate the film. I have certain morals and principles. Without them, what defines our individuality? I can't really explain why I wouldn't pirate it... My gut just tells me not to. I have all kinds of weird things when it comes to Frozen. It sounds crazy, but I never skip a song when my iPod is on shuffle, and if something like Let It Go comes on when I'm working I stop and listen, like listen listen. It distracts me from my work, but it's just one of the things I do to preserve my love for the film. I also never listen to Frozen on the way to work. It's kind of like what you say about not watching the film on a Sunday, with a not so great obligation looming you don't want to associate something you love with it. It's kind of subliminal, but watching the film on a (Frozen) Friday is certainly more rewarding than a (not so Frozen) Sunday. It was quite wonderful watching the film after such a long time. I say long... It was like 2 months max, but that's enough time to have that feeling that you're missing something and want to revive the emotions inside yourself. When the movie was ending, I just felt myself going. I just kind of let myself cry with happiness in the end. Why fight it? I am just so excited for Frozen Fever :D I just want to see what goes on after you've had such an experience as the characters had. I try to contextualise it; I even tried imagining what happened after they finished hugging, you know, and getting taken back to dry land. What was the boat ride like? How did Elsa interact with the dignitaries? You know the results, but what were the logistics of it all? They don't really matter; I guess they didn't include such scenes because you can infer them from the results, like by how the French dignitary talks with Kai. I like the idea of Elsa taking on that role of leader once again, signing that formal declaration of having the Duke removed. The experience was great; I leave these questions for when the film finishes. I haven't got this information, but what have I got is what I should be thinking. What we have got is just amazing, and any such included scenes would sort of deviate from the momentum of the film. Those sort of pieces of context are left for the viewer to sort out should they wish to do so. I still kind of wish there was something a little extra at the end, but like I say, focus on what is there - nothing was lost anyway, plus Frozen Fever will sort out these extra things, and make an excellent accompaniment to the main film :-) 

  Halloween not far off, no. I've been invited to a party on Friday, so should I wish to watch  Frozen at the end of the holiday I'll have to wait until Saturday. I question whether I really want to go anyway... Not sure what to wear. Apparently fancy-dress is compulsory. Although I have work and won't get there till after nine so maybe no one will notice. Whether or not notice enough for me to turn up as a cross-dressing Elsa is a different question all together xD I may just start watching the film at volume 40, but I kind of feel that you have to ease into it, saving your ears a bit of shock. By  Let It Go I am ready though. The volume started to rise at  For the First Time in Forever. Yes I do find  Frozen more often than not ineffable. It's just sometimes nice to not quantify how you feel, and just let the emotion drive and manifest itself in you for a time. Hmm, I'm not sure if staying up that late will destroy me or my studies first. There's just too few hours in the day. It was weird because despite the lateness of my viewing I still took all what was going on in. Frozen just offers me an escape, and ignites something in me that just allows me to keep going. It's one of only few things that I can truly focus on it and not be distracted :-)

If you build an ice palace I'll join you - take me away from it all ;-) It would be quite an effort though; I'm not sure about you but I cannot exercise full control over ice and snow... Ah well, if worst comes to it we'll build an igloo and learn the skill off of some Inuits ;-) 

I'm not too sure about what I said concerning individual file protection. I know that you can block other users from accessing your folders from their account. I may change my main password; it's quite easy to guess for those around me. No one would find the files anyway unless they went looking for them. I will look further into file protection, just for peace of mind if nothing else.

<p style="margin:0cm0cm0.0001pt;line-height:16.5pt;"><span style="font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:10.5pt;line-height:16.5pt;">Don't worry, I get the drift :-) I stand tall, knowing that I am an individual, free to think in my own way. I still hate the thought of ridicule over my liking of animation, Disney, and of course in particular, my love for  Frozen<span style="font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:10.5pt;line-height:16.5pt;">. You just need to try and stop external uncontrollable factors from making you change your thoughts and feelings to suit them - I don't and would never do this anyway. That video of the Marines is brilliant xD They showed it on the making of  Frozen<span style="font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:10.5pt;line-height:16.5pt;">. I had seen it before that, but I wasn't too impressed at my mum's response to it. It was along the lines of, they hadn't had any in a while... so, yeah. I'm not going to say I totally agree with that. I'm sure they appreciate Elsa and the movie as a whole in other ways :-) It is a fantastic moment, and does break down some of the prejudice felt. I do wonder if they were watching the whole movie. I'm not too sure what goes down in the day to day life of a Marine, but they put at least some time aside to watch that scene and give people a new way of thinking in how stereotypes can be challenged. I wouldn't say that  Frozen<span style="font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:10.5pt;line-height:16.5pt;"> is particularly feminine anyway; I think if you asked someone why it was feminine, they would just come out with something like, "the main characters are female and one of the central messages is love." Hmm, not too sure that that is the definition of feminine. I feel bad for my friend. Our situation is, like you say, a lot tamer than his. We recently had a writing competition and he entered a pretty heavy piece. I could link it if you're interested? It's quite insightful. I said I wouldn't show anyone, but he meant just not my friends that I physically see day-to-day. You don't know him, so I don't see anything wrong with showing you. If you're fine with it, that is. It's surprisingly applicable to this subject. Too many people are cynical in the way that you have described. Curse society and its presuppositions!

<p style="margin:0cm0cm0.0001pt;line-height:16.5pt;"><span style="font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:10.5pt;line-height:16.5pt;">That's funny what you say about your friend. "It's my sister's" is definitely the excuse that I would use in that situation :D

<p style="margin:0cm0cm0.0001pt;line-height:16.5pt;"><span style="font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:10.5pt;line-height:16.5pt;">Are the pictures you took nice and clear? I'm curious as to what an 'essential guide' defines as 'essential'.

<p style="margin:0cm0cm0.0001pt;line-height:16.5pt;"><span style="border:1ptnonewindowtext;padding:0cm;font-size:10.5pt;font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif;">My mind is somewhat of a torrent. Don't think it's just Frozen that's knocking around in my head, though sometimes I wish it was... The world could be much simpler then, at least for my mind. I say simple, but obviously there's nothing simple about Frozen. I try to limit myself here to discussing Frozen-related topics as, to be honest, they are the most pressing issues I have. Politics, philosophy, the economy, eh. I have questions, but eh. I don't even bother investing my time in relationships. From the sounds of my friends' experiences, well, put simply, I wouldn't have time for that, school, work, and Frozen. As Leonard says, "Science is my lady". Science, knowledge, oh and obviously Frozen :D I like to think that we are equally interested in 'Frozen. Maybe in slightly different ways, but it's certainly an interest we share; you're my kindred spirit too :-) Don't bother with Youtube. I had some lose ends to tie up, but I think that all scores have been settled. I did challenge someone's comment on how they were attracted to Elsa, with someone else saying something about a place for their needs which is not discussed. LEAVE DISNEY AND ALL THINGS INNOCENT ALONE AND OUT OF YOUR CREEPY MINDS was along the lines of what I put... It didn't provoke as much talk as my last challenge did, but that's it now. "I'm never going back" would be a suitable quote for here ;-) <span style="font-size:10.5pt;font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif;">

<p style="margin:0cm0cm0.0001pt;line-height:16.5pt;"><span style="font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:10.5pt;line-height:16.5pt;">Thank you for being here to spark discussion as well :-) Truly infinitely better what we have going on here. I meant to say I like your put-down of the user who was on about the film being overrated. If people come here with grievances, they need to be addressed, I will say that. So long as they are founded. As for the rest of internet... Well any disagreement that they have and do not come here to share is not worth our time. Any more domestic disturbances, let me know and I'll aid in the systematic take-down of refuting all of their points, using rationale and objective thinking ;-)

<p style="margin:0cm0cm0.0001pt;line-height:16.5pt;"><span style="border:1ptnonewindowtext;padding:0cm;line-height:16.5pt;font-size:10.5pt;font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif;">I started looking over Elsa's page. Let me know if I'm going the right way about it. There were a few points I wanted to ask you about: one was the way in which the King and Queen are always referred to by their proper names. First of all, which clever person managed to find that out? :-) And secondly, maybe they should be referred to (not all the time) as the King and Queen, just for those who are not so familiar with this convention. Maybe say 'Queen Idun" as a pose to just Idun. The second point was about the way in which Elsa's 'limited contact with people' is discussed. I don't think she is physically locked in her room. She is seen outside her room on two occasions in Do You Want to Build a Snowman? I saw a story once where there is a dance where Elsa and Anna see some interaction. I'm not too sure if you've heard of this, but we need to know the source of the information should we take it as serio usly and maybe even as canon. I think I've said before, that Elsa's confinement is not a constant sustained thing; there must be periods of let-up, like on birthdays. This is very speculative though. I will admit that the song is representative of the norm on your average day-to-day basis in the castle. I wonder about their education as well. Anna dances, so must have been taught. I'm not too sure how princesses were taught back in those days... The King and Queen must have given Elsa some form of education, as it says in  The Art of Frozen   how Elsa was "groomed for the day she would assume the throne". All very speculative... I think all I'm saying is let's not paint a picture of complete isolation from everyone but her parents over that 13 year period. Could you also tell me how we know of the ages of the princesses? Was it something that Disney explicitly stated somewhere, like in the essential guide perhaps?

<p style="margin:0cm0cm0.0001pt;line-height:16.5pt;"><span style="font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:10.5pt;line-height:16.5pt;">Hope all the kerfuffle is sorted out over the admin issues. I didn't know that AwsomeOrange89 was no longer an administrator. Has he gone completely? Don't feel guilty about the break you took. You did it for good reason no doubt, and I guess the Wiki is second in priority over other needs that life commands. Ah well, your quotes sum it up nicely ;-) Your quotes do make me smile; they're always quite apt to the situation at hand. I also can't help but smile over our cross-dressing Elsa thing :D

<p style="margin:0cm0cm0.0001pt;line-height:16.5pt;"><span style="font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:10.5pt;line-height:16.5pt;">Woah, long message. Lots to discuss I suppose :-) Much bombardment ;-)
