I am a very logical person. I also love fantasy. There was nothing worse to me, as a child, than the thought that the world might actually be every bit as boring as it seemed, when books and stories were so much more exciting. I mean, that’s kind of leading you on, isn’t it? To show all this fabulous, fantastic stuff, like dragons, and faeries, and magic, and then to tell you: “Sike! Too bad, so sad—you can’t have it, ’cause it’s not reee-aaaal.”

Of course, no one ever told me it wasn’t real—at least not up front. No, for some reason, the combination of a scientific brain and a love for fantasy is exactly the kind of thing that adults find really funny. They love messing with you. Never giving you a straight answer. Making you believe ridiculous things.
