alex_antoninSome kids want to be firemen or police officers or teachers, nurses or doctors; I wanted to be an eternally youthful, immortal wizard who would use his powers to conquer the world and make his enemies pay... or the king of Hell, commanding legions of demons to overtake the earth. Or some other monster that could frighten and/or devour the bullies that picked on me. I wanted a demon for a pet. If I'd known about Satanism back then, I think I would have prayed to my guardian demon.
I think if Stargate:Atlantis had aired when I was a child, I think I would have wanted to be a Wraith. I was obsessed with monsters. Still am. Wanted one as a friend, guardian, or ally. Wanted one for a pet. Wanted to be one. I still do, I just know now that none of it is likely to happen.
Monsters are ugly to most people. To me, they are beautiful.
