When life gives you melons, make memes.

I'm a lot like the people I'm stealing this meme from. More often than not, I tend to be pretty honest with the people I interact with. I am however, also notoriously elusive about volunteering information about the person I am and/or the workings of my mind unless I see reason to.

I had no idea where this idea came from, so I dug a little deeper, and before I knew it, I'd finished my children's book, complete with illustrations.

Not content with simply leaving it at that though, I continued to dig deeper and deeper into this incredibly fascinating place within my psyche, and much to my surprise, the ideas never stopped. More Magical Floating Pies? Check. Drunken Hobo Dragons? Gotcha. Wiffle Ball Royalty? High Five. Crazy Octopus Chefs? I'm so there. Owl Superspies? You get the idea.

I was fascinated. There, within the very reaches of my soul, I found my identity as a storyteller. People loved the story of the Magical Floating Pie, and they wanted more, and I was only too happy to give it to them. I loved that I could make people smile, laugh, and giggle even when they were feeling down, even if only for a moment. I loved the fact that by telling my silly little stories, I could take my listeners back to a simpler, more carefree time, when the world didn't seem like such a bad place.

Have you ever been affected by characters you've created? I know that mine have certainly affected me. Within the span of a few months, I became increasingly silly, and increasingly more animated in the physical world around me, because really, I wanted the whole world to feel the same joy that I'd been blessed with.

So, uh, needless to say, joining THEM has only made things even more crazy. Yeah, while I'm still an adult while I have to be, the silly, whimsical, attention-getting aspect of my persona is how I actually come alive, regardless of what might be going on in my life otherwise.

...Yikes. That's a lot of words. I hope you found your answer in there somewhere, though. (^^)v

Yes, I think I found my answer. I'll try to respond more coherently later. But regardless, thank you. :)
