We dance whenever we're able

[andrewducker]

There was a girl last night, who wanted to be a knight. She had photos of herself in armour, but seemed oddly despondent as she showed them to me. I had a sudden realisation that she hadn't felt like a knight when she was wearing the armour, but rather like a girl in a knight costume. I was about to tell her that all the best knights started off feeling that way - nobody felt like a knight until they'd been tested in the role - when my phone rang.

It was Nick (although his name on my phone was "Spider") asking me if I'd given some stuff to mutual friends to pass on to him. I blustered for a few seconds, full of excuses, and then apologised for having forgotten. He waited silently through the blustering, said "Thank you." in an obviously angry voice to my apology, and hung up with a definitive click.

And then I woke up.

That's a good one. The girl who is a knight (or, who you *want* to be a knight, and encourage to be a knight) could be to do with a desire to be rescued from a situation, it's an interesting reversal of gender roles. But your empathy with her could also be down to feeling that there are certain ideals that you hold that you aren't living up to.

The bit involving Nick means you're gay.
