Do you believe in Fairies???

Sorry, my friend, but I don't believe in faeries (that's one less at the bottom of my garden!), and the only leprechaun I can recall seeing was David Caruso in 'Hill Street Blues'! I'm not sure about elves, but then again, I'm not a cobbler, so wouldn't have really come across any. I haven't encountered any when visiting 'Timpsns Shoe Repairs' in Manchester, for a re-souling job, though the store-keeper does seem a little Gnomic. According to Greek stories, Pegasus was just one of a herd (I'm sure that isn't the right collective noun, but my brain's a bit frazzled today), so we could all go along with you. The Valkyries of the Norse Sagas also rode flying horses, and Brunhilde lent hers to Siegfried. I may have experienced a Hookah-smoking caterpillar, whilst under the influence of a type of mushroom that makes Mad Hatters of all who try them. I like the idea of Nymphs, Satyrs and other such 'mythical' creatures, though find a mortgage and utilities bills have surplanted them in the front of my mind. Strabgely, though, they do still linger in the darker recesses of my mind, and the presence of a young child tends to bring them back to life for me. Bless the little mites, they look at everything new as though it is magic. This, however, does bring to mind an old joke;Alice saw a diminuitive figure sat on a toad stool, with his head between his knees, and upon approaching, asked eagerly, 'Are you a Goblin', to which the response came, 'No. I've just got a head ache!' (A little rude that one, so cover any faeries presents eyes). All the best.

"Why does innocense have to die when we age." *skips around in circles* YAY CYNTROW!!! I SO agree with you!! We dont have to lose not only our innocense but our imaginations our love for the unseen, unknown and the maybes.....I know I never will! I'm all too happy to enjoy my belief in faeries and all mythical creatures...not only is it fun but its also good for a person to not always live trapped inside that boring box of "society standards"...its damaging, boring, it holds you back and holds you down and so on....Poopoo on ppl like that I say ;-)
