I see you point, poppi...but --!! My life and surroundings are pretty much average and to me the arts, [here I include movies, comics, Poser, literature, etc.], are the escape routes away from the humdrum of everyday life. I don't necessarily identify with what I view/read/create...just 'get away' for awhile with them. Of course, I do believe in Unicorns and Fairies and that helps a lot!!
