The Grass is Always Greener...

We live in a society of make believe. For all our reality TV, there are many things that aren't real: the characters created in World of Warcraft or D & D; supermodels looking that good 24 hours a day; or even the belief that if you graduate with a Bachelor's degree you're guaranteed a well paying job. :)

But, reality isn't all it's cracked up to be. WIth that in mind, what fantasy world would you like to live in? Middle Earth from "The Lord of the Rings" series? Forks, WA from Twilight? What about Narnia? Tell me what your ideal alternate world would be. I'm excited to find out. :)

PS Mine would be 18th Century England, during the Regency period. Of course I'd have to be wealthy, because I don't want to be a servant in the house of Mr. Darcy or anything like that. :) Either that or PEI with Anne Shirley.

  1. My fantasy world either be monty pyhthon or transformers. In monty pyhton i could be as stupid and pointless as much as i want and search for the holy grail with king athur, i would call myself sir goodlooking from the far away land of galt. My other fantasy would to live in the world of transformers where my girlfreind is totally hot and i get an awesome camaro as a car/freind. That would be totally awesome.

  2. I'd want to be in the Little Mermaid world! I'd be a mermaid of course. I am a huge fan of that movie. It is so cute, especially the part during the song Under the Sea. I would have a fishy best friend like Ariel. A kingdom under water would be the best fantasy world I could imagine.

  3. Josh- I am literally laughing at your comment! I love your Knighted name!!!!!!

    Haley- I always loved Ariel. Especially because Prince Eric was such a sweet guy! Plus, some of the best songs are in that movie!

  4. Well, if I could live in a "Fantasy World" it would go something along the lines of this:
    Its 4:27PM, on Thursday, February 25, 2010. Austin had been working on his Senior Project the whole week, and got the whole thing done already, so he could just relax. He had nothing to worry about, and could pretty much do whatever he felt like doing. So he sat in his chair, wandered the internet for awhile, played some Nintendo DS, the usual. Then, fantastically, a portal opened up. Out of curiosity, Austin decided to step through said portal and was instantly transported to another dimension. There, he was dubbed Commodore Austin, and renamed his kingdom the Austinopolis Empire. Then, in a stunning display of pure awesome, Commodore Austin expanded the Austinopolis Empire tenfold. It was then he set his eyes on space, and conquering the galaxy as a whole. So off he did fly, and take over planets he did. With more colonies than the Lrolaknikahns had tentacles, Commodore Austin was quite content with his newly expanded empire. And then, just in time, around 8:00AM the next morning, he made it to school, made it through first period, and turned in his entire senior project that day.

  5. After reading the Great Gatsby and also learning about the 1920's, I always think about how it would be to live in the 1920's. There are a lot of downfalls to 1920's like the fact that the Great Depression comes right after it, but despite that and all the tragic things that happened in the Gatsby's life, I would want to go back to the 1920's. I love the style and what everyone's perception of life was at the time.

  6. Hmmm...Good question, If i could just live in Bible times I think that would be pretty amazing. Except, if I could I would take out the stoning and what not, just my opinion. It would be amazing to see everything that happened when Jesus walked the Earth. Also to see how things began to develop over time. I guess it would almost be like Narnia and fighting for what you believe in daily but in battle. For some reason, to me, that would just be cool to see.
    P.S. love the music playing in the background!

  7. The one fantasy land I would want to live in would be in Looney Toon land in Space Jam. It would be awesome to be able to do whatever I wanted without consquence. Also everything that I would do would be fun. I would never run out of things to do.

  8. Off the top of my head, I wouldn't really say that there is a fantasy world I would like to live in. I suppose if I were to choose, it would have to be New York City, but in the Friends series. I've always wondered what it would be like to sit on that iconic orange couch drinking a big cup'o joe in Central Perk. I've been watching the show ever since I can remember and Central Perk always stood out to me as that classic little hole-in-the-wall coffee shop that only locals go to because no one else takes the time to look for it. Now I'm about to ramble and go off topic so I suppose I will just leave it at that.

  9. The one fantasy world i would love to live in would be like The Never ending Story by Michael Ende. A Parallel world of Fantastic, a world being destroyed by the Nothing.A place where peace can be made. And a world that will never end, that we would all live to be happy. Somewhere were we could all discover new things and new cures for a better tomorrow. That is where i would love to live.

But anyway I wanan be from the futcher becuse I would like to be in that advanced tecnoligy era. The fantise of Avatar and that how we would explore other worlds and build tecnoligy so adavnces we could be in a dreameorld of a clone we make.

  11. The only fantasy world that i can think of right now that would be amazingly CRAZY is Alvin and the Chipmunks. That would be awesome because you are going to school with famous chipmunks! That definitely doesn't happen every day!

    i think that would be soo cool just to be able to go alongside watson and sherlock and just help them catch villains as the outwit and outsmart the english police.
    just things he says are quite witty. and also i think the 20's would be cool.
    i would be william randolphs wife and have ownership over Hurst castle. that way i wouldnt have a rough time during the depression. :D
