Well that's.... ridiculously sweet and wonderful. /slinks my cynical ass off to a corner to lick my wounds Nah, I've never liked Valentine's Day regardless of my relationship status at the time. It just feels too obligatory to me, always has.
That's not fun, but it isn't avoidable, either, unless you choose to "rescue" every poor sap who becomes infatuated with you. The best you can hope for is to be gentle, until you encounter a guy who just can't take no for an answer. Then you gotta whack him with a nuclear clue by four.
I'm not an animal activist by any stretch (I eat around 20 lbs of meat a week) but for some reason my heart goes out to that horse. I feel like he is being humiliated uneccessarily, having to wear that horn. They're dignified creatures.
Weirdly, two guys tried to sell me a horse today. I was walking past it's field and stopped to admire it when this guy approached me, and in an Irish accent said 'You wanna buy that, fella? £20, here and now and it's yours'. I had no idea what was going on at first.
I so am. When I'm walking into battle, without a trusty steed, then I'll know I made a terrible mistake.
All this NPR, spelt bread, horsey mushiness puts me in mind of the gay unicorn in Spellsinger, by way of ignoring the horsey mushiness. I've only recently found myself bookless. Perhaps a little Alan Dean Foster fantasy will make for a nice sorbet.
You've forgotten thy sword! Thy holy sword that was forged in the fire of Mu'Kroi that slay-eths even the hellish demon of an unnatural origin! YE SHALL REGRET NOT BRINGING IT! ON THE 5th DAY OF THE FIFTH FULL MOON!!! *hobbles away*
I'd like to think so. I'm so used to seeing references to wolfs on this forum and it being me - at first I thought this was about me.
