I figure he was in love with the Queen because he was just a kid and hadn’t really grown up yet, and he would’ve fallen in love with his awesome wife eventually if he’d had the chance, since their relationship was based on affection and mutual respect and was actually going somewhere. But maybe it’s condescending of me to say he was just a kid, since I felt things pretty intensely when I was his age, and I don’t think all of them were just me being stupid and young. Hmm.

(Um, late reply. Sorry. I’m still catching up on my Google Reader, which I barely even touched while my #yayvisitors were here).

In reply to Care. I actually love interpreting dreams. It makes me feel smart. :p

In reply to Kailana. I really don't think it matters which book you read first, except that I guess Book 2 sort of tells you the end of Book 1. But they appear to work very well as standalones.

In reply to trapunto. I laughed out loud about the earplugs. Movie theaters are ridiculously too loud! Honestly, the books are vastly too long to be turned into movies, so even if you'd had the use of your full hearing, I doubt the plot would have made sense. Also, you should read the last three books. They are wonderful.

In reply to Amy. I've reread Harry Potter twice this year. I'm not ashamed. :p

In reply to zibilee. Oh, wow, that sounds really scary! The not being able to wake up thing, not the dreaming of doing something you need to do in real life. I watched a movie one time where the guy in the film couldn't wake up (Waking Life), and it wasn't meant to be scary but it scared the crap out of me.

In reply to nymeth. Doesn't it? I saw it at the library today but I was getting so many other books that I have to read really quickly because they're on hold by other patrons.

In reply to litlove.

Not nice unconscious well done! Very trying unconscious trying to pretend things have happened that haven’t happened and then I don’t do them because I feel sure they’re already done!

Ahem.

In reply to softdrink. Oh, I've done that. I also do the thing where I wake up, and I know I need to get up to do something important, but I'm not fully awake, and my brain starts thinking that I can only do the important thing by staying very still and shutting my eyes. My subconscious is very persuasive that way. :p
