I'm in love with an animated dog. is that normal?
Since the release of the 2008 animated feature Bolt, (a preposterously underrated movie, I must say) I have had some kind of strange fixation with the main character of the same name, who happened to be a dog. A dog of the same gender, I might add.
A sort of affection that I think can only be described as love, or at least some sort of emotional fixation, as I find myself constantly thinking of him. I’ve had several girlfriends in my life, none of whom have ever been as interesting or attractive to me as Bolt.
Surely, im not the first to have a crush on a fictional character, but im 19 years old and I’d like to think that I’m a fairly normal, socially active and fully functioning individual by most standards.
I could mention a great many things that attracts me about Bolt. In fact I could make a list (and I have) of his many wonderful attributes, ranging from his deep, contrasty personality and his cute, wonderfully expressive mimics and beautiful face. And yet, he is a dog, a fact that is more of a virtue than a drawback in my eyes
So, is this normal?
