Why Dragons?

You’ve probably noticed a certain fascination I have with dragons. I tend to idolize people or things that embody the qualities that I admire. To help you understand why I chose dragons, here’s a little thing I wrote about 8 or 9 years ago when I first learned HTML. (I have since taken down that web page it was a fine example of an amateur’s first page.)


Love Thy Dragon

Whether in the realm of reality or imagination, dragons are nothing short of fascinating. These wonderful creatures are the embodiment of majesty, wisdom, and raw power. They fear nothing.

They come in all sizes, shapes, colors and temperaments. Their diversity reflects ours. The dragon is beautiful, and we must do our best to educate the ignorant ones who would vanquish them.

They are creatures of legend, often misunderstood. We fear what we don’t understand. We must open our eyes and see the dragons that live among us. We must open our hearts and learn to love them. And finally we must open our minds, because we have so much to learn.

I’ve seen this passage show up on various other sites without crediting me. So if you see it one day, it’s mine dammit!

One thing I forgot to mention is they can fly! I’d love to fly, and I don’t mean airplanes. Flying dreams are my favorite. I also wouldn’t mind being able to lift cars over my head like they were made of styrofoam. So basically I’d like to be Supergirl. But in the meantime I’ll settle for Geeky Dragon Girl with her meager powers of sarcasm, imaginary dialog and general computer geekery.
