Am I Really a Faerie (plus how strange are YOU)
delusion (n)
A fixed false belief; used in everyday language to describe a belief that is either false, fanciful or derived from deception.
(definition, altered just a bit, from Wikipedia [link])
The other day a dear comrade asked me - with a completely straight face - if Autumn Country was real. Since I'm not the one who is usually asked that question, I was taken aback (just a little). So I answered truthfully with, "Yes, the important parts are."
I get the feeling, though, that what she was really asking was, "Do you actually think you are a Faerie?" To which the answer is...well, that would ruin much of the fun, wouldn't it.
Her question prompted me to wonder about a couple of interesting things, though, so I thought I'd ask you:
Do you believe anything, either about yourself or about the world in general, that (on some level) you know can't be true?
Maybe it's a strong conviction. Or maybe it's just a hope that you can't quite let go of. Maybe you think this is crazy talk. Let us know.
More soon (I hope).
P.S. If your personal mythology shows you something like this when you think of the concept of 'Faerie', then I suppose that answers it.

People try and make Erik sexy. He's not. I mean, I don't know about anyone else, but I'm not attracted to men who are missing parts of their face.
Err.... no, I'm not deluded in any way

And I do believe in ghosts and demons but not in angels. There's too much evil for there to be any left.
Umm... Well, I want to believe that all people have good in them. But when looking at the world, that is obviously not the case.
Luckily, MOST people are really sweet. ^^

So the struck eagle, stretch'd upon the plain,
No more through rolling clouds to soar again,
View'd his own feather on the fatal dart,
And wing'd the shaft that quiver'd in his heart.

He was always a very morbid man, but on some level I think I believe him. Ever since he told us that there are days I don't even feel like I'm in my body. >.<
On a happier note, I think the world is full of magical beings and entities that we'll never even think to believe in.

Having feelings... very strong feelings... about something you know can't be true.
Yup. I've had alot of experience in that area.
And for the record - I also belive that there's demons/angels around, in that spiritual dimension that we ... sometimes sense.
