Fantasy worlds can be as real as you wish them to be.
Mind you a great many people, including myself, bring elements of the fantasy worlds back with them, upon concluding such adventures. My father's tribe refers to them as "Spirit walks" or "Spirit journeys". Just because it is not the same that is written in ancient texts doesn't make it any less different.
And the stars are amazing <3

Well, today has been quite exciting, I had to report for jury duty so I arrived at the court house at 8:30, 15 minutes before it was to promptly start. Around 9 the judge showed up and eventually a panel of 20 was randomly selected from the pool of about 35 of us. I was not picked so I sat there as each attourney asked questions for a little over an hour each. when neither found anyone on the panel unable to serve they then did this strikeing thing were each attourney gets to choose 4 people who will not be on the jury out of the panel since only 12 are needed. To me this seemed kinda wrong that each gets to pick 4 people. each of whom seemed may be make it harder for one of the sides to win... but I guess thats just how it works so whatever. anyway after that the judge named off the 12 who had to serve and told the rest of us we are free to go with the thanks of the court. I then raced back home and had to zoom along to class just barely making it. so I am glad i was not selected and was able to attend class still because my classes dont seem to consider jury duty as a excused absence. it was interesting to watch the process and maybe someday I will get to serve, after im out of school though I hope. its hard enough to keep up in class without missing lol.

It seems really weird that that isn't an excused absence. Especially since if you work full time your employer has to pay you your regular salary for the days missed. That would really annoy me.

My father just had to testify in a trial. Unfortunately I missed it.

I agree, that is pretty weird that it's not excused, it's not like you have any choice.

And Aaron, I thought your father gave up his job as a chef for the mob? *cough*
