Theoretically

y now if you’ve been following my blog for quite a while (or if you’ve read a good deal of my posts) you probably know quite a bit about me. The most obvious of which being that I’m a writer, who self published, and that I have an affinity for reading political non-fiction and that I really don’t care for Twilight. You probably also know that I’m not great with secrets of my own. I can keep a friend’s secret just fine, but mine? I don’t do well with those for whatever reason.

But one thing you probably definitely don’t know about me is, I’m really fascinated by conspiracy theories, not because I believe in them, but because from a plot perspective they’re actually really fun.

The whole secret societies, cloak and dagger stuff, and the idea that there are entire worlds of things hidden, but oddly in plain sight is as fascinating as it is insane. As writers, it’s our job to make our fiction as realistic as possible, even to make you question your own reality which for some, conspiracy theories are really good at. They make you question everything you think you know about everything and in that respect, they’re almost like mini-novels. Some are more intricate than others, but a lot of them require you to seriously suspend your disbelief, particularly because (and I’m finding this more and more), a lot of them seem to have a lot of religious ties to them. Groups of individuals who’ve sold their souls to Satan for fame is a little hard to swallow if you don’t believe in Satan.

And who knows, maybe it is true, frankly I don’t really care. I’m going to keep listening to their music even if they did sell their souls to get themselves there, because you know what that is? Ambition. And I respect that. Also they have really catchy music.

Also, if angels are anything like they are on Supernatural, then I definitely don’t want to go to heaven. Frankly the demons are way more fun. Especially Crowley. Plus, if the Christians are right, I’ve already made peace with the fact that I am most definitely going to hell. But then considering the criteria, I’m pretty sure that’s where all the fun people are going to be anyway.
