At Livejournal? In a younger, more embarrassing version of myself?  |

Yeah, LiveJournal! And are you kidding?! I loved your Aladdin posts and musings. They were always so funny and enjoyable. I was sad when you either changed the privacy settings, deleted, or moved everything (or some other fourth option).
Like, really sad. :'( |

| At Agrabah? For some reason I wasn't able to post there anymore. Livejournal did one of its 2092902092 updates and I was given an error every time I tried to post |

No, it was your actual LJ page (although your posts at Agrabah were also entertaining). It just went blank one day. I could only access your profile and your userpics. I assumed you set it to Friends Only or something, and since I wasn't your friend, I felt it would be weird if I asked you about it.
'Cause, you know...I didn't want you to think I was stalking you or anything... |

Oh yeah, I use to have my blog open for years but then everyone left and it felt weird leaving it that way.
Hey, people stalking me is how I made a lot of friends |

| Well, here's one "stalker" who was sad when I could no longer read it. ^^ I thought you were so funny. Your posts almost always made me laugh out loud (or at least...smile really big). But it's cool to actually talk to you now. |

A quote from Ted found on this site. I read all these before a long time ago. Just forgot about them.

80% of the time, it looked exactly like it would if you transcribed the final movie (round abouts there, anyway).
Really. It was clocked because of a contract dispute between Robin Williams and Disney, and that's the number they came to: Robin Williams improvised 20% of his dialogue.
And even when he improvised, there was already something there for him to record if he didn't improvise.
In other words: it's your job to write a complete script, beginning to end, with great characters and scenes and dialogue.
The actors add the icing -- they don't bake the cake.

But I guess we might never know for sure exactly what was improvised and what was scripted, which is what I want to know. :b But going through the movie, I can make a guess just based on what seems to actually be relevant to the plot and what seems to be an "unneeded" joke. |

Eh, I more or less stopped updating after that because my life became uninteresting so you're not missing much

See, now I'm curious as to what was a line they wrote and it didn't later work/they rescripted because we could be thinking it was improvised but it wasn't. |

No, see, that's what I enjoyed about your writing. You took completely ordinary anecdotes that would otherwise be uninteresting and made them hilarious.
But I won't embarrass you anymore. XD
I think we need an Aladdin edition of MythBusters.
1. Did Robin Williams really improvise a majority of his lines?
2. Is Aladdin (and Jasmine) really fair-skinned with Caucasian features compared to the dark-skinned and ethnic-looking Jafar (and other characters)?
3. Is it really true that Aladdin was modeled after Michael J. Fox and then later modeled after Tom Cruise?
4. Does Aladdin really tell teenagers to disrobe?
5. Is Aladdin really set in a post-apocalyptic future?
And I guess we'd have to throw in some true ones to balance it out, but those wouldn't be as fun to debunk. |

Aww, I tried
5 always cracks me up because it's already unrealistic Agrabah survived as long as it did with the same family blood line and no other country managed to conquer it and yet the influence of other areas is present in the designs in the city. Yes there's modern anachronisms, but there's no way the British, the Spanish, or the French didn't find a way to get in there somehow |

| Well, yeah, but in Agrabah, incredible feats are routine every hour or so... |
