I just read an article about the part Aragon played in the Hundred Years War. I read Aragon as Aragorn just about every time. Go on, admit it, you did in the first sentence I typed too!

I did. I had to do a double take when you said "I read Aragon as Aragorn".

You can imagine how distracting that was when I was trying to study!

It made the article take about twice as long as it should have done. Oh the distraction.

...i also came across the name "Elijah" in a history textbook once (referring to some obscure person who i don't really care about) and i couldn't go on with the passage. I just sat there, staring at the name out of context, watching everything i know about Elijah run through my head at lightning fast speed and drooling.

We are pathetic aren't we?

I had no idea how many Orlando's there were in the world, but now they're popping up everywhere in my reading. There's even a guy called Orlando who's written a history of Russia.
And I was looking at a medieval manuscript on Weds and there was an illumination of Elijah's ascension to heaven. I stared blankly at the page for so long that the librarian made a comment about the fact that it was a beautiful book and yeah it was actually. but that's not the point

You mean Aragorn didn't fight in the Hundred Years War? Well, there goes History as I knew it...

Hell, I'm already re-writing history from a slash perspective. We can have Aragorn in everything if we want!

Aragorn/Orlando is something I've not actually read *g*

Did you mean to give me ideas for Orlando/Legolas and Viggo/Aragorn? Because you did.

If I gave you those ideas, they were entirely accidental. Not to mention somewhat schizophrenic....

Very, I'd say. But appealing in a bizarre and amusing way.
