Interesting. lethargicThe Avril Lavigne Antidote:: Gershwin -- "Rhapsody in Blue" Someone suggested I fill this out. The voice in my head (which sounds suspiciously like agentrosecotton) agreed with them.(I have referred to myself in this form in the third person. Don't mind Melanin; she's crazy.) ( Me... ) | ||

I've been reading some of Tiranel's reference materials lately. Required reading material for all PPC agents, or so she says. Some of them really are fascinating. F'rex, take these two British writers, Terry Pratchett and Douglas Adams. pensiveThe Avril Lavigne Antidote:: Jen-Luc warbling 'Somewhere Over the Rainbow' Interesting what some of these Earth writers can come up with. Things they have no way of knowing, but manage to think up anyway. Take Terry Pratchett, for example. The man was born and raised on Earth, the most backwards, stubborn planet in the Multiverse. He had no way of knowing anything about the way space works; how some things are realer than others, and how the universe is carried around in a little black leather bag by a little old man with a cane. Granted, PTerry forgot the cane, but he came astonishingly close to the truth. Maybe that's why half the world loves him, and half the world can't stand him; he appeals to those with a sense of reality that goes beyond what their backwards world offers as answers. Now, PTerry had no notion of God; his gods were, at best, feeble and insignificant compared to The Real Thing, the Alpha and the Omega, the great I Am. Still, one wonders if the man is really a Discworld wizard left on Earth by accident and doing his best to make a living. And Douglas Adams...now that man was truly frightening. How in hell could he know about Earth's destruction for an interstellar roadway? It didn't happen in his universe -- and yet he knew about it. And Ford Prefect nearly passed out when he read the Earth version of his favourite book. Not to mention that whole bit with the towel. It's truly amazing. There are even those who see not only the past from other universes, but the future as well. For instance, the Wachowski Brothers. They have no way of knowing what's happening in the universe two blocks away and three houses down. And yet they wrote it almost spot-on into a blockbuster movie. Or Isaac Asimov. The three laws of robotics. Now, that Earth may be the most backward and narrowminded planet in the Multiverse, but every once in a while, a light shines through. A brilliant individual suddenly has a revelation, and suddenly sees more than just what's in front of his face. It's been theorized that there are a few select people on this planet who are different. It's sort of like the red-pills in the Matrix universe, or the superhero types in the Comic Book universe. They're just a little off; they don't fit with the masses. They don't see what isn't there; they see what is there -- which, to quote the aforementioned PTerry, is much more difficult. It truly is amazing. But, after all, gravity, distance, and relative mass are what make the world go round. | ||

...hello? boredThe Avril Lavigne Antidote:: 'Further from Myself' in my head My name is Agent Melanin, and I am a PPC agent. anti_glitter is my response centre. I live there. Or, at least, I pretend to. Really I live in the fandom, protecting it from Mary Sues.Like me. See, I am an ex-Mary Sue. I joined the Sue Support group a while ago, and my story can be found there. Now *where* is Tiranel? I spent all day cleaning and revamping our RC, and then she doesn't *show*. Rrg. | ||
