	Have you ever danced with the devil in the pale moonlight?

It's an odd phrase.  Jack Nicholson said it in Batman, the 1989 version.  For the longest time, I thought it was just something he said to be weird and scary.  Then I started thinking about it, what it really means.  To be honest, I had absolutely no idea.  I actually built a scene once, where a little red devil complete with horns and a tail was waiting under the pale moonlight in a dimly lit forest.  I danced with him, had a bunch of fun trying out different dance styles: we did the hokey pokey, we danced the waltz, we fought, and then we even did a ritualistic rain dance.

Needless to say, I completely missed the point.

A quick check on Google told me that it might have meant, "Have you ever found yourself in a horrifying situation when no one is around to assist."  That's quoted from answers.yahoo.com.

...Where was I going with this?

Right, I wanted to show that I had absolutely no idea what I was doing.  That was the time I finally realized it, though; I had all the powers of a God, and I had no idea when it would actually be a bad idea to use them.  I was just a kid, and I needed to grow up enough to figure out what I was doing with my life.  So my first mature act was to create Equestria and abandon my home universe for a while.

It had seemed like a good idea at the time.

I even set a few rules for myself:
Rule 1: At least make an attempt to stop using my powers to fix all my problems.
Rule 2: Don't kill anyone important. Try not to kill anyone important
Rule 3: Don't start any more new religions.  On purpose.
Rule 4: Try to learn something new. as often as

With those more or less written down, I opened a hole into my new reality, and stepped inside.
