So long in fact, that the entire Blogger has changed its appearance.. and I don't know how to use it.
I'm only blogging because I'm currently suffering from a random bout of insomnia.
And I accidentally made it worse by listening to music...
Music generally helps me do most things. Work, sleep etc..
However, the theme to Zorro started playing and my eyes just flew open so quickly that I think it is now impossible to close it willingly.
Why did that happen?
I've always been in love with Zorro. Since I was a little girl. This is no secret.
(That love I have for Zorro is also what made me so inclined to being a fan of Batman later on in my life.. as the two are similar)
When the movie was first released in cinemas, I was worried that it will forever change the way I look at Zorro. Worried that it will taint the story and feelings that I remembered so fondly.
Surprisingly, while the movie was not its best, the casting was fabulous and the image of a cartoon Zorro in my mind, was replaced by the actor instead (I know cartoon and movie was a different guy but it is generally Zorro, the caped dude, that I'm in love with)
But all that aside, it was the theme that really got to me.
It was romantic, majestic, dramatic and, all in all, fantastic.
And to this day, every time I hear the song, it brings back all my childhood memories of Zorro.
Of sitting in front of the television every day, watching the same few episodes.
Of dreaming and dreaming that I will one day marry Zorro.
...
Maybe the next time someone asks me "Why are you still single?", I can say "I'm waiting for Zorro"
While I may have many love for many things and people (and I do have many loves).. The one love that has remained constant in my life was my love for Zorro. It is a shame that not many people my age watched the cartoon. And also a shame that not many people understand why I'm in love with Zorro. It's not the guy that I love but the idea. The idea of such a man.
I am given to flights of fancy.. and my imagination is always in overdrive.
These sort of things appeal to it.
It appeals to me, immensely.
(Can we call this a love letter to Zorro?)
