We Found A Purple Sea Urchin! OF DEATH.

Thank you all so much for your comments regarding university! I have been utterly overwhelmed by how lovely you all are.

As further proof that I never quite stopped being a child, I've suddenly remembered a series of computer games called Freddi Fish, aimed at children between four and eight, which I became absurdly fond of at around the age of fourteen. It was about a happy yellow cartoon fish who swam around in the ocean and solved mysteries with her best friend, a happy green cartoon fish. They sang songs about the Joys of School and foiled sharks that were pretending to be ghosts. It was generally very cheerful and silly.

My first thought, when it came to mind, was a fond recollection of Freddi Fish happily saying "We found a purple sea urchin!"

My second was 'Wow, an underwater version of Silent Hill could be really interesting, couldn't it?'

THIS IS WHY I SHOULD NOT BE ALLOWED NEAR CHILDREN'S THINGS. The Freddi Fish in my mind is now cowering in terror in a dimly-lit world of dead coral, desperately trying to find Luther.

Why must Silent Hill destroy everything I love?

Okay, opening a Firefox window onto that post after the discussion I just had may have just saved my life.

I love you.
