Q you should know that!rhymezerDecember 13 2005, 22:05:20 UTC
Ever heard of Don Quixote? El Hombre de La Mancha, written by Miguel Cervantes!
It is this story of this insane man who believes he's doing amazing things when often times he is fighting a windmill when he believes he's fighting off a monster. Things along that line, it's a great book. It got turned into a musical. Hmmm, Quixotic is an adjective used to describe people who take after his quirky self.
Here's a dictionary definition for you:
(don kee-HOH-tay, don kee-HOH-tee, don KWIK-suht) (1605-1615) A novel by Miguel de Cervantes. The hero, Don Quixote (don is a Spanish title of honor), loses his wits from reading too many romances and comes to believe that he is a knight destined to revive the golden age of chivalry. A tall, gaunt man in armor, he has many comical adventures with his fat squire, Sancho Panza. 1 ‡ A person who is both idealistic and impractical is often said to be “quixotic.”
There ya go.
I can see you as idealistic and impractical.
Jajaja, anyways, if you need help with that stuff just let me know.
