have you ever noticed that you incredibly resemble the lone power in the young wizards book series ??? not that you invented death or anything, but otherwise you two are very much the same.
The Lone Power's a force of entropy, death and destruction, not a force of chaos. Whereas I find that dead mortals really aren't much fun. I'm either out solely to entertain myself -- and death, destruction and despair just aren't all that entertaining -- or I'm actually trying to get mortals to improve themselves in some small ways, or I'm studying them. While I can't say I'd cry if I were forced to destroy someone or something to make my point, my goal is *change* -- and while you do generally have to break a few eggs to make an omelette, in the end you get an omelette. The Lone Power seems more interested in broken eggs for their own sake than in omelettes.
I'll admit that as entities which cause death and destruction go, the Lone Power's got some style and panache as to how it goes about it, but as far as similarities go, we're both tricksters aaaaaand that's about it.
P.S. Why do you always use asterisks on each side of the words all the time??!! ( I used two in my last entry, but that's not as much as you do.) I know you like sarcasm, but what is with the asterisks??!!
Would you prefer that I express the varying intonations I prefer to use with italics, maybe?
You can't hear me, so I need to mark emphasis somehow.
And are you allergic to the reply button? I mean, if we're being blunt here, and I admit I usually am, both this comment and the immediately previous one should have been replies to my response to you, not stand-alone replies to my initial post.
I am fond of anything that can alleviate my boredom momentarily. Books often qualify.

In my reality, yes, she absolutely stabbed me with a fork. Quite painfully.
In your reality, my reality is a fiction and the extremely handsome actor who plays me simply pretended to be injured.
