I Feel kinda shitty and purposeless right now. I was writing fantasy-related stuff all day, when suddenly it just hit me: "Hey, none of this crap is real, and it never will be." That obvious truth has never bothered me before, but for some annoying reason I can't stomach anything fantasy/sci-fi/unrealistic right now. I mean... magic just isn't real. Nor are portals to other worlds. And you can't travel faster than the speed of light or violate the first law of thermodynamics, period. Plus, Santa is a fake. I feel empty inside...
Wallace and Grommit "The Curse of the Were-Rabbit" was entertaining enough, but it still gets the silver medal for "most G-rated movie ever made." First place goes to the little-known "Kiku's Delivery Service", which is grotesquely innocent and childish, but will still not be watched by many children in this country because of how prejudiced and conservative parents are. (The main character is a witch. Well, sort-of. A completely harmless, innocent, beyond G-rated witch.) Anyway, Wallace and Grommit was an unusual choice for the night of a 6-month anniversary to be sure, but we were distracted well into the night by delicious (and expensive) food, so we watched the only thing showing late enough. Which has me wondering - who the hell schedules a kid's movie to show in the middle of the damn night?
I think that if I made a D&D character, it's alignment would be "Bob". Then my enemies would ask "how the hell can your alignment be 'Bob'? There's just the good-evil and lawful-chaotic spectrums, so you can't..." Then BAM! I would've distracted them long enough to launch a surprise attack! But not in the game, in real life. Combined with my baseball bat of +3 vs dorks, I could seriously reduce the gaming population - all for the greater glory of the Bob.
Actually, dorks are cool. I'm just annoyed with overstructured fantasy worlds (like my own) right now. Grrrr...
Time to go running.

Careful, from what I read it seems as though you might be slowly but surely turning into one of those people who you just suggested might be hit by a baseball bat during their confusion. Your right tit totally sucks ,... hehe "tit" anyways, it sucks that that our world isn't more fantasy like. But what if it was? What if we lived in a world with magicical teleporters, the constant threat of dragon attacks, and most people are usually faced with a 60 to 80 hour journey to find the magical crystal and save the world, and second time about a year later if for some reason a corporation makes large amounts of money from it. In a world like that would people write fantasy novels about a young person who grows up to become a tax attorney and is faced with the evil forces of a mortgage and slight weight gain? In this strange world full of odd devices such as ....toasters!!! and ..... pepsi vending machines!!! damn, thats just too strange to think about. anyways, it seems the grass is always greener.
