today at work we played "if...?" which is just a silly made-up game where you ask a bunch of silly made-up questions that start with the word "if" and then everybody answers them. i have no idea how this game started but it has become a "thing" and we play it regularly. anyway, one of my teens asked which fictional world i would want to live in if i could live in any fictional world. i have 2 fundamental problems with this question:
1) who's to say that any of these so-called fictitious worlds is actually fictitious? maybe they are all real and we just don't know it yet.
2) it is really really not fair to ask me to choose my favorite nerddom. and let's just be honest, that is precisely what this question is forcing me to do. i am not okay with that!
ask me anything else. anything! i can answer all of the other "if" questions without missing a beat, but this? this is just not fair.
we did determine that if i lived in middle earth i would choose to live with the hobbits. they know how to party. exact words uttered to a room of teenagers explaining this choice.
btw, i finally chose the TARDIS since i would then be able to travel anywhere in time and space, including the other "fictional" worlds, provided they actually exist somewhere in our universe.
