Dreams do come true, if only we wish hard enough. You can have anything in life if you will sacrifice everything else for it.

Porthos dreams of being a bear, and you want to shatter those dreams by saying he's *just* a dog? What a horrible candle-snuffing word. That's like saying, "He can't climb that mountain, he's just a man", or "That's not a diamond, it's just a rock." Just.

Happy St. Andrew's Day everyone.  Had a bit of a crappy night last night, so I'm going to just take the time to write down everything that I want to achieve in life.

So I think I've got a lot for myself to be getting on with by now.  I'll add to it in the years to come methinks, but for now it'll do.  I can't imagine growing old.  But I will.  I'll grow old and I'll hit people who I don't like with my walking stick (that I don't actually need) and pretend to be deaf and forgetful just as a wind up.  Although, knowing me these things will actually happen.
