hearing voices pt. 2

[ciroccoj]

So I told Chris about my difficulties with voices in fanfic from yesterday, because he was on call and he missed my string of expletives as I struggled to not hear pre-voice-change Harry and Malfoy while writing 38-year old Harry and Malfoy. I commented that it was a good thing that today's movie request from the kids was The Two Towers. No dichotomous voices for me tonight.

"Yeah, except you'll hear Aragorn," he says. "Well, that's not so bad, though; at least he's their age. ::thinks:: No, he's not, is he? He's-"

"87."

"Right. And you can't use Legolas' voice; he's about 3,000. And..."

... and as he trailed off, we both went through the entire fellowship of LOTR in our minds: Gimli's about 150, Boromir's the right age but he's dead by TTT, Gandalf is also dead and 3,000+ years old...

"... I guess they'll just have to sound like Hobbits."

GeekLove. It's a beautiful thing.

I knew Estel was the guy for me when I discovered that he had spent months drawing and painting on his closet doors to make them look like the Ace Books editions of the Lord of the Rings. Because reproducing the authorized Ballantine editions wouldn't be geeky enough.

LOL!! Isn't it?

ROFL!

That's some impressive geekery :)
