Why medieval fantasy?

Ah yes, my first substantive post. This shall be a joy to explain the seeming strangeness of my mind. For one to understand my mind, they must first look openly upon what I am doing. Am I living in an alternate reality? Am I finding a way to escape from the worries of daily life? Perhaps...Perhaps not. In my quest to reason myself with you, you hopefully will see what I am trying to accomplish.
"Why?" you may ask, "are you so fascinated with medieval fantasy?" The legends of King Arthur, the Lord of the Rings, Greek and Norse Mythology. These are my hobbies. I study them for fun. For one, I love ancient history, so obviously, like ancient peoples, I love the stories that they loved (save LOTR) and have modeled my own stories after these.
Two words sum up my rationality for this seemingly strange hobby. The Sword. Truly, I love swords. Those who know me personally will recall that I collect swords. Swords are to me as shrubberies are to Roger the Shrubber. It all began about four years ago when I saw a movie called Gladiator.
Anyways, in my next post you all shall know exactly why I love swords as I do. Please do not mistake my love for swords as a love for death or a love for war. Remember I just love swords. If you can't wait for a few days I suggest you go read Hebrews 4:12+13. It's best in the King James Version.
