Course I don't WANT to be mortal! Just wondering what it would be like! Much like wondering what it would be like to be a real goat, or a real educated person, or a Canadian or something.

That is nothing but a lie.

Real educated person?

Uh ... yeah? What's funny about it? I'm missing a joke I think.

No! Not that it's funny, it's just... strange to think about, that it's classified in the same category as being a goat or a Canadian. You're not un I think you underestimate yourself, maybe?

Dude - I went to school in Flippin, Arkansas. I KNOW I don't have the education some of the folk on here do. I mean, there's frickin' college professors hanging around on the Compendiums. I've never even taken a community college class.

I guess I classed them the same because unless I win the lottery or something, I have a better shot at becoming a goat than I do at attending college. I can say this with certainty because I actually did get turned into a goat once. Like, ten years ago - something about magic gone terribly wrong. It was actually kinda fun.

But I digress. I have to work, always have, so education's never been a real big priority, you know? But it's kind of intimidating talking with people who take higher education for granted.

I guess it was just the phrase "real educated person"--like it's education which gave those people their reality or like they're leprechauns or something. It doesn't. I can honestly say I've met some of the most demented people of my entire life in the echelons of higher learning. That doesn't mean I don't value it or that it's not a part of my identity (like I could plausibly pull that argument off), but you're not any less of a person either way. There are some students on compendiums now who shouldn't be permitted to tie their own shoes without supervision, much less earn a degree.
