I've always wanted to go to a Renaissance fair! Never had anybody to go with, though. I wonder if Paul does do the whole fire-breathing thing. I've heard it's supposed to be easy enough if you know what you're doing. It's funny, on Ellen Degeneres' talk show she wanted to "eat fire" in one season, but she didn't do it, at the last minute she just wouldn't, so she was going to try it again this year. She said they told her everything was perfectly safe and they brought this guy in who was an expert and was going to make sure everything went alright, and as she's saying all of this a guy comes running from backstage, completely covered in flames (in a retardant suit, of course). It was really funny, and a bit freaky! Anyway, that was a bit OT. But still on the subject of fire-eating, eh?

haha yeah. Yeah, if they have a professional fire-eater there to help out, I don't see why they wouldn't do it unless Paul has a thing against it. But I remember hearing and reading in numerous places he wants to do as many things as he can. So I'm excited to see whether he'll really have done it or not. Gotta wait until March....*sigh*

Yep, from what I've heard he's a pretty adventurous sort I finished the chapters you sent me! ;D Ahhh, poor Dustfinger. I'm sort of reminded of Smeagol in Lord of the Rings, how he really knows what's right, but he can't bring himself to do it. Though Smeagol's weakness was really his love for the ring, while Dustfinger's weakness is probably fear. Though how can somebody who did all those things he did with the fire be afraid of anything?

Well, he has his reasons for loving fire that are better explained in Inkspell, but look at it this way. He knows how to treat fire so it won't bite him too badly. With Capricorn, there's no telling what evil he'll do next. And cowards are really complex. Look at Howl from HMC: the only way he could do anything brave was by telling himself he wasn't doing it. Now this isn't so much a spoiler, but Dustfinger does many brave things. Bravery isn't not being afraid, it's doing things even though you're afraid. But anyway. I'm really excited for this movie. It looks great.

ELLEN! I love Ellen xD She makes me laugh so much ^.^ She really is hilarious, I loved her office commercials with all of the animals.
I was going to go to a Ren Fair in 7th grade, but it rained and my mom decided not to go *pouts* It would have been awesome, I'd already met "visiting royalty" in school before, and was psyched.
And fire eating can be dangerous if you don't know what you're doing. Well, big fires anyways, my dad used to put out matches by sticking them in his mouth.

Heehee, Matchstick Eater. And with fire eating, if you aren't careful, the fire can come back at you from the fuel you spit out at it. That's why you gotta be careful. *nod* So you want to take a tally on whether or not Paul does the fire eating for real? My opinion on that is he probably WANTED to, but they may not have let him since it's potentially dangerous. So if they said, "okay," he probably did it. But for health and legal reasons, he may not have. What say you all?

*nods* No SANE person would want to breathe fire, but after A Knights Tale and The DaVinci Code, we know he's not sane, right?
