What I want, still, more than anything in the world, is to find out that stories are real. I am still careful around wardrobes and watch avidly through the gaps in broken-down walls and try to spot the people from London Below on the Tube.

I haven't flung myself against the wall in Kings Cross, yet, but I take great delight in watching other people do so. XD

I make up stories about the people I see, especially if they vanish into nondescript doors or walk into blind alleys or look a little freaked out by the crazy girl people around them. I love Torchwood because I know where the aliens are!

I don't want to grow out of this, thank you. Growing up is overrated.

Metaquotes for you.

ETA: also one of my best facial injuries came from throwing myself at Platform 9 3/4 while pissed. :D

Hear, hear.

I spent my eleventh birthday entirely and honestly depressed because Merriman Lyon did not come and tell me I was an Old One. I know the feeling and I applaud the post. Growing out of that is most certainly overrated.

This is why I love you, see.

Hear hear.

Someday I'll find a police box that's bigger on the inside, I just know it.

[apiphile.livejournal.com]

Because I'm a moron AND an alocoholic? ;)

Good for you. Stories are important in ways most people don't understand. I still pull out my Myst books every so often and place my hand on the inside cover...

Word.

Here from Metaquotes and just wanted to say thank you. It's good to know that other people feel like me. ♥

Heh. Part of my brain is still convinced that Hogwarts is out there, that in a remote area there are large white telepathic horses, and that if I went down to Antarctica I could find the remains of an Ancient city. In general I'm pretty scientifically-minded, but I think there will always be that part of me that says, 'well, who knows? Just because I don't know about something, doesn't mean it doesn't exist.'

And do people *really* throw themselves at the wall in Kings Cross? That idea amuses me *way* more than it should.

Me to, darling. When I'm in London, I shop at Fortnum & Mason's because I know Bunter's been there. And Mary Russell Holmes. And houses one of Sherlock's bolt holes.

Everytime I see the London Eye, I think of the Doctor. And now, every time I see Queen Victoria, I think of werewolves and Torchwood.

I feel the same way about wardrobes. And we had a lamp post in our yard when I was growing up and once it snowed....well if I'd known what a hottie Mr. Tumnus was, I'd have watched longer.

HELL YES.

I go even further back and pretend to be on a mission from the Famous Five when I'm on walks, and there's a Dangerous Criminal around every corner OH GOD I MUST HIDE. BY CLIMBING THIS TREE. INCONSPICUOUSLY.

Someday I'll find a police box... ;)

Hear, hear. :)

*agrees!!*

[villainny.livejournal.com]

SOME DAY YOU AND ME WILL FIND STOLEN MEDALS HIDDEN IN A TREE! AND THEN EAT LASHINGS AND LASHINGS OF BOILED EGGS!

[rowanberries.livejournal.com]

HURRAH!

I am still careful around wardrobes

I think, if I hadn't already, I would love you forever for that. I do, too. Narnia is still my comfort-story, no matter how old I am.

[sticktothestory.livejournal.com]

Yes.

Mind if I friend?

I could accept, *just*, that houses in Australia were unlikely to have a hidden door to a secret passage. But I did get very annoyed at my mother because I was trying to make a concealed compartment in my wall for hiding small objects, and she got angry at me for cutting the wallpaper and scraping away at the plaster.

At my current house, I'm making plans for a secret door behind a bookcase to the wine cellar.

Also, if we're being honest, sometimes I think this is a large part of what religion means to me, you know?

[villainny.livejournal.com]

No! I mean, of course! Go right ahead. :D

[sticktothestory.livejournal.com]

Thanks!

[ms-ntropy.livejournal.com]

People were very highly entertained to watch me try, and I was more than happy to oblige.
