nausicaa83The fall is definitely here. It's cold, my throat aches, and I got a text message alerting me tomorrow there's going to be acqua alta in Venice. And they're selling roasted chestnuts in the streets! I felt the need to have a long stroll after my therapy session, and I ended up at Rialto, where the Disney Store is. I went in and asked the cashier if they had any Merida dolls. I tried to buy one last month, and they told me to come back in October. Then I went last week, and they told me they had recieved only 16 of them, that got sold-out in a couple of days, and told me to come back in the weekend. And finally, today they had them! He went to get me one, and I gave him a big smile and told him I was so happy, that it was my third attempt, and she was so beautiful, cue little cooing noises while caressing the box. He smiled and told me it was nice to see someone actually happy in that store, and I was shocked. Is everyone else so grumpy they can't even enjoy buying Disney Princesses? It was so hard not to start jumping up and down!
Look at her! She's perfect! And it took me half an hour to get her out of the box, with all the clips and wires they had put to keep her in place, and then Sakura almost stole the arrow, but now she's ready. She's going next to Ezio Auditore, in the living room. *________*
Anyway, then the cashier asked me if I liked action figures, and Merida, and we talked a lot, and he told me about new action figures of female villains, Maleficent, Ursula, the Queen of Hearts, and that he had seen them in a Disney Store in London. A bit of squeeing about London and villains, and then we went on talking about all the Disney movies that are in production right now and that we can't wait to see.
When I was about to pay, I noticed they already a wall covered in Christmas decorations. He told me they had skipped Halloween this year, which was a pity, and that's when I noticed this:
A bit of very, very important background information here: my sister's name is Alice. And she loved that movie so much, she adored it. This is going straight to the top of the christmas tree, but for now, it's going to sit right on top of my computer, on what I've decided is my new fandom wall:
It's the cupboard on top of my desk where I keep spare headphones and the likes, and now it's the Sticker Temple. :D
What a lovely weekend indeed! ♥

I already have a few great plans in store for next week, actually. ♥

Date: 2012-10-15 07:22 am (UTC)It all started when I was doing radiotherapy. Five very painful weeks, with radiation burns all over my chest, and I lost a lot of weight, I was a wreck. But everyday I came out of the hospital, hopped to the Disney Store, and spent a good ten minutes among the characters from my childhood, with all the bright, comforting colours, and the disney movies going on the tv on the wall, and everyone who worked there always stopped to talk with me a bit, and ask me about my day.
In the end it's the small things that make a difference. That, and always keeping in touch with the brightest memories.
