My hobby: Correcting historically inaccurate textbooks.

Comments

Why doesn't that surprise me.

[rude-not-ginger.livejournal.com]

Can't help it! They're incorrect, ought to fix them!

[alittle-dust.livejournal.com]

Can you make sure they say that Hook was a smelly pirate, they miss that out all the time.

[rude-not-ginger.livejournal.com]

I think the "smelly" is generally implied with the general lack of hygiene for a pirate...but I'll see what I can do next time!

[broadsword-babe.livejournal.com]

Want some help with that?

[rude-not-ginger.livejournal.com]

Well, I've already finished up the French Revolution and the American Civil War. Is there an era you'd prefer?

[wingedvirtue.livejournal.com]

That must keep you busy from dusk to dawn.

[rude-not-ginger.livejournal.com]

Well, it's a hobby. The people I travel with sleep an awful lot, so I've got to find something to occupy m'self.

[galeforcehero.livejournal.com]

Why don't you just write your own textbook? That, I'd like to see.

And Wendy was not ugly or mean. You shouldn't listen to everything a fairy tells you.

[rude-not-ginger.livejournal.com]

I tried once. Do you have any idea how boring textbook writing is?

Oh, dear. I have a fairy saying she's ugly, I have you saying she's not...well, there's only one way to settle this.

[dameluckypants.livejournal.com]

I think it's starting to border on "addiction."

[rude-not-ginger.livejournal.com]

It's not an addiction! They need correcting!

Sorry about the incident with the pink pen, though. I didn't mean...well, you know.

[apainproblem.livejournal.com]

Must be absolutely dull.

[rude-not-ginger.livejournal.com]

Scribbling out big important writers' words and writing my own for everyone to see? Certainly not!

[andrewsmiller.livejournal.com]

Like anyone cares about history.

[rude-not-ginger.livejournal.com]

I care about history!

[nanboleyn.livejournal.com]

You may wish to make it quite clear then, that I am not deformed in any way, and I most certainly only ever had four fingers and a thumb on each hand.

[rude-not-ginger.livejournal.com]

Anne Boleyn! I was just talking about you the other day, I said "Anne Boleyn, I bet she's brilliant!" I'm the Doctor! Oh, it's so wonderful to meet you!

[called-tinman.livejournal.com]

I just correct the past to change the future, or make sure things stay the same.

[rude-not-ginger.livejournal.com]

Yes, but whose past are you correcting?

[handysparehand.livejournal.com]

I think it might be cheating, since you do have a habit of causing those historically inaccurate facts.

[rude-not-ginger.livejournal.com]

It is not cheating! You know as well as I do how often they get them wrong!

[bonesquint.livejournal.com]

Well, if they're inaccurate, it's only logical to correct them.

[rude-not-ginger.livejournal.com]

Exactly! See, why can't others understand the importance of correct learning materials? It's little wonder why you lot are always so confused!

[laser-not-sonic.livejournal.com]

Hmm, yes; you correct them, I just vandalise them. *smirk*

[rude-not-ginger.livejournal.com]

Generally I find that I'm the one with the proverbial mop and bucket washing off your mess.

If you ever manage to get the can of paint out of your pocket before I stop you. You know, I'm having a conversation a bit up in this post about boys who never grow up. Think I should mention you?

[possessingbadge.livejournal.com]

That has to be the lamest hobby on the planet. Collecting rocks isn't that lame. *teases*

[rude-not-ginger.livejournal.com]

It is an educational and important hobby! =D!

[erikscordelia.livejournal.com]

I'm not certain that makes you a trouble-maker or a trouble-fixer!

[rude-not-ginger.livejournal.com]

I'm a trouble chronolizer! And fixer, of course.

Occasionally maker.

All right, more than occasionally.

[marquis-debauch.livejournal.com]

Perhaps you would do me the honour of ensuring both Louis XV and Napoleon Bonaparte are chronicled as being insufferable twats Monsieur.

[rude-not-ginger.livejournal.com]

Insufferable tw---

I mean, really. I can say without any doubt that Bonaparte was difficult, smelled like cheese, and was very very short. But calling him that? Honestly?

Doesn't read like a textbook!

[chasingstars201.livejournal.com]

Somehow that's not surprising in the least.

Do you enjoy knowing more than the writers?

[rude-not-ginger.livejournal.com]

Well, it doesn't really matter if I do. I just do!

[morethananecho.livejournal.com]

Don't all books have text?

[rude-not-ginger.livejournal.com]

Yes, but the term "textbook" is a colloquialism, to mean an educational book. A book that explains, like a teacher.

[aces-are-rare.livejournal.com]

Does that include books you make historically inaccurate by changing history?

[giac-casanova.livejournal.com]

Funnily enough I was considering doing the same.

[cyfor.livejournal.com]

I like messing them up.
