Gargoyles

You know it’s odd, but I’ve always had a fascination with gargoyles. I used to have quite a collection of them, too. I never found them creepy, just fascinating and exotic. I had several up on high shelves back home overlooking my doors. Rather helpful at helping me scare off unwanted sales people. I always wanted to go check out the ones that are rumored to be on the great cathedral of Notre Dame. Like this one:I have to wonder how they made him. All the carving etc. What inspired them to make him that way? Was there some creature that looked a bit like that and they extrapolated off of it? And then I gotta wonder how you get something like that up there, without the benefit of modern construction equipment either! Well, maybe I’ll go someday. I hope they have a secure place you can look at them from, because I’m not so big on heights! I dunno if my interest is because I’m goth or that I used to work 11-7, but I think I’ve always liked gargoyles. And not just the Disney variety either, though I do have to say that Demona was a favorite of mine.
Yeah, I do recall she was evil and out to kill all the humans but it was an amusing cartoon just the same. I’m not sure why I’ve recalled this hobby of mine, just now. Maybe it’s the fact that I’ve been spending so much time up on the roof lately that has me thinking about my fascination with stoney gothic guardians. Or maybe it’s watching my feathered pals fly all day. I’m not sure what it is but I just can’t get them out of my head. I didn’t dream of them, mind you, though my dreams are bizarre enough in and of themselves!
No, before you ask I didn’t see the movie that Sci-Fi channel ran, but some folks who did told me that I didn’t miss much. I’m still thinking about the reasons why, as I type this, and can’t quite figure out what has made me recall this hobby of mine at this present point in time, but, seeing as everyone else seems to be sharing, I figured that I might as well. And, while we’re on the subject, let me just say to any vampires out there, just remember this:
Don’t make me stake you…
