Once upon a time, in a land far away, beneath the water. So far beneath that no man, nor woman, nor beast, from our world will ever find it or know to look for it. so far beneath in fact, that it again becomes not under-water, but again filled with air and earth, as our own land, there was a kingdom. The kingdom was peaceful and full of laughter and love. A king ruled over it justly and fairly. He listened to his subjects and took every opinion and suggestion into consideration. This king had a daughter. Her name is not important to this story, for what is a name? We will simply call her, the princess. That is more to the point anyway. This princess was not a very nice girl. She did not understand much about the world, did not care to, and would not listen to anyone but herself. She enjoyed playing with her toys and the other children in the kingdom. She did not grasp the great responsibility she would one day be given. For she was the king's only child. His wife, the fair queen, had died giving birth to the princess and she was, therefore, the only heir to the throne. Now, admittedly, it doesn't make much sense to keep everything within the family, handing down important positions and responsibilities to those who may be incapable, simply because they share blood. But that is the way it had always been in this kingdom and it never dawned on anyone to try something different. The king was worried that his daughter would not be able to handle the great responsibility of being queen and looking after the kingdom. For, though the king had told no one, he was growing very tired and ill. He knew that soon he would not be able to continue his reign as king. He had tried and tried to teach his daughter about the ways of ruling justly and fairly and listening to every opinion and suggestion. But she really didn't seem to care much and never paid any attention to him. He knew he must get her to understand, but as he grew more and more weary and more and more sickly, he found it very difficult to muster up the energy to try and teach her. The princess went about her business, playing with toys and friends, picking wild flowers, kicking puppies and other such silly things. She was a very rude and arrogant girl and she could simply not be bothered with things like fairness and leadership. The day finally came when the king could not go on. He died a peaceful, yet unexpected (by his citizens and daughter) death. Everyone attended the funeral, many people cried and everyone felt sorrow. A tall, beautiful, well spoken woman, who was very highly respected in the town, lead the service and read a few words she had written in honor of the king. The princess, never one to sit still and listen, got restless very quickly and left the funeral quietly to go play in the woods. While she was skipping along through the forest, she was attacked and eaten by a giant boar. The citizens realized a few days after that the princess was dead and elected the well spoken, beautiful, tall woman to be queen. And they all lived happily ever after. the end.

I tend to get really angry if I get hurt and don't come out with a scar or bad ass bruise to show for it. I wish I could breathe under water. I love raspberries and the world around me. I hate people who can't take care of themselves and when things that should never be deep fried, are.I edited my profile with Thomas Myspace Editor V4.4 (www.strikefile.com/myspace)
