Unicorns (Late Post)

I think I was supposed to blog this yesterday (Friday) but I wasn't sure if I was supposed to because no one else did. (Trumpetgal's at music camp and TripleThreat is doing a show). I guess I'm the only one with nothing to do...hmmm, now what does this say about me? According to Trumpetgal, this week's topic is on unicorns, which is ironic because I just read the short story anthology Zombies vs. Unicorns. (It was ok. The unicorn were terrible and I'm officially on Team Zombie now) One story was in 2nd person POV and it took me forever to realize the main character was supposed to be a guy. 2nd POV is awesome though, and very hard to use in things other than letters and short stories. Oops, my introduction got kind of off topic. Well, here we go...

Unicorns...what do I think of unicorns? Well my mind hates them right now because of the sucky short stories I just read, so I'm not sure how well this post will come out.There are so many different kinds of unicorns in different mythology around the world, but the popular concept seems to be a white (or rainbow) horse with a horn growing out of its forehead. The horn is said to have magical healing powers, and is very valuable if you cut it off. A bit of an awkward topic, but did you know that unicorns are obsessed with virgins? Ok, moving on...

In popular media today, unicorns are well...popular! Charlie the Unicorn was a huge web hit and many other unicorns seemed to follow his lead. *Pink fluffy unicorns dancing on rainbows* Trumpetgal, I think I'm going to kill you. That stupid song has been floating around my head as soon as I started typing this post. Oh jeez. This whole post sounds like a history lesson that some senile old man gives. I feel boring right now.

To save you from getting so bored that you decide to gnaw off your fingers, I'll end this post.

Unicorns are sparkly magical creatures who make terrible short stories.

M'kay. Bye~
