My Obsession With Alice

A lot of people don't understand my obsession with Alice in Wonderland. I'm not even sure I quite understand it, I just love it so much.

              Maybe it's the childhood memories I have of watching it. I've loved it since I was really little.

 Maybe it's because me and Alice are a lot alike. I'm very, very curios like her, and I like to understand things.

But, I think the most probable reason would be because of it's whimsicality. I like how it doesn't make much sense, but yet it does. It would seem that it's all nonsense, but if you look closer, you can see a lot of wit and meaning.

When I tell people I love Alice in Wonderland, they usually assume I mean the new version.

I liked the new version(mainly because of Johnny Depp), but to me, it didn't do the Alice books and movie enough justice. Though there were a few things in this version that were more similar to the books, I just think it was too dark to really showcase what kind of picture Lewis Carroll was trying to paint.

                     I really enjoy the Alice books, because of their wit, and really great characters.

When I say I love Alice in Wonderland though, I mean I love the cartoon. It's bright colors, and goofy characters seem to really showcase Lewis  Carroll's books more than any other.


I just have a never-ending love for it. When someone quotes the movie, I smile. If I see anything related to it, I want to get it. I watch the cartoon all the time, and I love the books. My top 3 characters from the cartoon?

Number 1 would most obviously have to be the Cheshire Cat! He's just so, so whimsical, funny, and happy. He knows how to have a good time! (Also, I love Sterling Holloway's voice! He also did Pooh Bear and Kaa from the Jungle Book.)

Number 2 would have to be the Mad Hatter! He is so funny and innocent. Plus, who doesn't love the Unbirthday Song?! (He is voiced by Ed Wynn, who also has a VERY distinct, very cool, voice!)

Number 3 would be Tweedledee and Tweedledum(yes, they count as one!). I love their story they tell, The Walrus and The Carpenter:) They are so cute!

So, yes, people think I'm weird for obsessing over Alice, but I love it soooo much and I can't help it:)

Do you like Alice in Wonderland? What cartoons/books/movies are your guilty pleasures? COMMENT:)

New Bright Idea!

Okay, dear friends and readers, I had a bright idea today, what if we all got together and started an online book club? We could all decide on a book, read a few chapters a week, and discuss them together on our blogs! Book clubs are a great way to connect with friends, and maybe make new friends, while doing something that I personally love: reading! Anybody interested?



Here's how I thought we could decide on a book, everyone can enter their idea for a book that they would like to read for the group under comments on this post, and then once all the suggestions are in, I will put up the list of book suggestions here(including my suggestions), and have the club members vote on which book they want to read. Whichever book gets the most votes will be the book we read!



If you would like to join the book club and discussion, please make a post on your blog telling about the club, and include a link to this post. Let me know that you've made a post under comments. Let's try to get a lot of people to join!



Please enter your book suggestion below(please only enter one suggestion), and let me know if you will be joining the club.


Let's all get together and go on a reading adventure!;)
