063: Musings

[livingmyths]

I didn't eat any of those candy hearts yesterday and after seeing what happened on the Network I'm glad. I wouldn't really want to accidentally find out people's secrets. If they want me to know, that's fine, but not that way.

I do wonder now, though, if anyone got a secret about me. I don't think I really have many. There isn't much really only one thing that I wouldn't tell people if they asked me.

Tony? How are you? I've been thinking about you and hoping you're doing all right.

Mat? I have kind of a silly question for you later if you're around.

Oooh! And I'll be 23 soon. Doesn't that sound like a really nice number?

There are a lot of digs and whatnot around Chicago for the Cree, I think?

[livingmyths.livejournal.com]

Digs?

I met a Cree elder once. He told me lots of good stories.

When he hadn't had too much to drink. It was very sad.

[prodigalvampire]

What we've done to Native American culture is sad.

[livingmyths.livejournal.com]

It is.

Listening to the old stories. Of how it was.

I wish I could have lived then.

[prodigalvampire]

Are you talking about hand-me-down stories that are two or three generations old?

[livingmyths.livejournal.com]

Yes!

I love those. And myths and legends and, oh, anything like that!

I like to know what was and how it's supposed to be.

[prodigalvampire]

You'd love talking to my father.

[livingmyths.livejournal.com]

I would?

Does he know a lot of the old stories?

[prodigalvampire]

He knows alot of old stories, that's for sure.

[livingmyths.livejournal.com]

I'm guessing he's not here, though.

Maybe you know some you could tell me?

[prodigalvampire]

My father's from Germany.

[livingmyths.livejournal.com]

Huh.

I'm not sure I know any old German stories. Except the Brother's Grimm stuff.

[prodigalvampire]

Which isn't really German. It's more norse.

[livingmyths.livejournal.com]

Is it?

That's good to know. I just... I like to know about those things.

Especially since here it turns out that lot of them aren't myths and legends, they're real.

No kidding. We have a fae here. From my world, even.

Re: private//unhackable

[livingmyths.livejournal.com]

Really? Then they are real in your world?

I don't know if they're real in mine. There are so many things my head told me were real and everyone else told me I was just crazy that... I get confused.

Hey, most people are really good at turning a blind eye to the truth.

I always sort of wanted to live in my own little fairy tale world - maybe because my real one wasn't always so pleasant. And even though myths and legends aren't always pretty or pleasant either, there always seemed to be some rules to it.
