Dragons, giants, knights and Faceless Men are just a few things that make me seriously wish I could participate in the "Game of Thrones." Who doesn't want to live in a time when you could still demand a trial by combat? Honestly, I can't be the only person who still appreciates metallurgy and the awesome weapons that result from the craft.

However, as much as I would love to be a part of George R.R. Martin's fantasy world, there are a few things that would make me a little hesitant to be around while everyone is fighting for the Iron Throne.

1. I probably would not be Highborn.

The "Game of Thrones" is totally a power play. With the measly chances of being born into a noble family, having a shot at the Iron Throne would be that much more difficult. I could still give it my best try. Although, I'd need to be as sly as Littlefinger.

2. I do not want to work in a brothel.

Honestly, who does? With the likelihood of not being in a noble family, as a woman my age, I'd probably be forced to work in a brothel to make a living. No thank you.

3. I believe in marrying for love.

Chivalry is not dead. So help me if I did happen to be Highborn and my family marries me off for power. Hopefully I'll have a grandmother like Olenna Tyrell. Bless her heart.

4. I want my family to be safe.

No one should ever have to go through the way Ramsay Snow tortured Theon. Or the way Roose Bolton betrayed the Starks. Let's also not forget Stannis sacrificing his own daughter, which eventually caused his wife to commit suicide. People will do awful things for the Throne.

5. I shall not cross the Lannisters.

Although I have a soft spot for Jaime and Tyrion, I still imagine that Cersei could probably eat me alive. That woman is savage.

Unless I happen to be born either as Arya Stark, or Daenerys Targaryen, life during the "Game of Thrones" would be pretty scary. But after writing this list, I realized that I actually have more reasons for why I would want to be involved rather than why I wouldn't. I just wonder why George R.R. Martin had to make their world so bloody.
