The effects of the Dark Fantastic

Does anyone else try to find supernatural elements in everyday life now due to this class? I am sitting here looking at a vase of yellow tulips and creating a random story with supernatural elements. If these tulips were in my class, what would there story be? Well of course they would eat people. They would entice people (girls mainly) to put their faces into them because the are so beautiful and then they strike! They bite your face off....

These are flowers and I should not be coming up with this stuff. So...please tell me I'm not the only nutter. Does anyone else see the supernatural in everyday, common things because he/she is in this class?

Haha the only thing I have experienced is my house's new ghost which has been doing other strange things since the swinging trash can lid. But that's just my imagination, I hope...

Just noises in the night coupled with our dog growling at doorways at random points which he just started doing

I don't think you're a nutter. Or maybe that's just because I am one too. And I don't think I see supernatural things in everyday life because I'm in this class.... I think I'm in this class because I see supernatural/fantastic things in everyday life on such a continual basis. ;]

Honestly, I think it's fantastic that a class like this can influence students to think differently about things they see every single day, things that would seem to be perfectly normal until you think about it, and you realize what it could be instead. So many things these days are merely plays off what has already been done. We should be thinking creatively and coming up with NEW things. New fantasies, new ideas... Imagination is key to growth in my opinion and I applaud Andy and other professors around the globe for trying to teach us that.

Oh yeah. Totally what Jordan said. This class makes your imagination run wild and come up with all kinds of crazy interesting new fantastic/scary stuff. ^^
