Overanalyzing isn't always such a bad thing

I am in a fantastic mood. And the great thing? That wasn't sarcastic at all. I haven't felt this relieved and just plain good in SUCH a long time. I feel like some type of heavy burden has been lifted off of my shoulders and now i can finally breathe again or something. It's an amazing feeling. And the thing that sparked it? Cat and I being pure geniuses, that's what.

We had to analyze the deeper meaning of something today in English, like a fairy tale, so Cat and I decided to analyze Snow White. Here's what we came up with (as simply as i can put it):
  • The seven dwarves are the seven deadly sins: Happy = Gluttony because he's fat. Grumpy = Wrath because he's angry all the time. Dopey = Greed because, in the movie, Dopey makes a huge ruckous when trying to leave the house by taking a lot of stuff with him. Remember? Bashful = Lust for obvious reasons. Doc = Pride because he's the oldest and stuff, and Sneezy = Envy because he was left over.
  • Snow White = Jesus.
  • Snow White's evil step mother witch thing = The Romans who kill Jesus. They were jealous of Jesus' power and everyone's affinity towards him, so they kill him. In the same sense, SW's step mom is jealous of her for the same reasons. So she kills her.
  • SW living with the 7 dwarves represents Jesus living among sinners
  • SW dies and is brought back by the Prince's kiss.
  • Jesus is resurrected.
  • Prince = God's love. SW didn't know the Prince loved her, yet it brought her back. God's love isn't necessarily known, but it is there (if you follow the Christian religion, as we do, which is why we're making that assumption), and God's love brought Jesus back to life(plus or minus a few things that I don't remember from Sunday School).
  • Poison apple = Pontius Pilate.

It took us like half an hour to come up with this, but we had the most amazing epiphany and we now we're just kinda like "And what? Suck on that."

Plus it feels like heaven outside, I don't have that much homework, and my psych test on memory and thinking and language is over with forever! I'm listening to good music, and I just don't care about certain things right now. This is the kind of day that helps me remember why being alive is such a great thing. I probably sound like a Hallmark Card.

I don't care. I feel like I'm on top of the world. I will kill the person or thing that brings me down.
