This is all terribly confusing! There's something very fishy here, and it's not any kind of fish I ever saw. It's a confusing fish of a different name altogether. Like Bruce, or Isabelle, or Marzipan. Those aren't names for fishes at all!

Who are you all? Are you who you've been saying you've been being? Are you all some kind of fishes that have been walking about on land? Well, you're going to get everything all wet if you keep doing that! What kind of fish are you anyway?

Maybe I'm not even Alice! Maybe I've been a fish all this time!

Excuse me, could one of you fishes tell me what sorts of sounds I'm supposed to be making? I don't think I've ever heard a fish. Is it a glub-glub sort of noise?

[Well, this is Wonderland. It's entirely possible.]

You could! I'm pretty old myself, so I would know. But maybe there's some kind of cut-off mark, like 200, or 365, or something.

Well, why not?

Well, I like, don't even have that much coastline! I mean, a bit, but I don't go there that much, and I don't think a fish would be very happy on a plain, y'know?

...Um, because I'm not a fish? And if you were, you wouldn't be talking to me about it?

It would have to be some kind of land-fish then!

You still could be one, but I suppose that second part's true. A real fish would probably deny their fishy-ness. But if I start saying I'm not a fish, then I'm denying it! Oh, this is all so terribly confusing!

Wait, but like, if you're not denying it and I am, wouldn't that make me fishier than you? Except I'm totally not one, so--Ohmigod, my head hurts. What the Hell?

[curiousher.livejournal.com]

It would, so you are, aren't you? Or maybe you're not and I am? I don't know anymore. I told you this was confusing!

I totally don't get it.
