nostalgia_lj is a sick weirdo.

fortunately, I follow in her hallowed footsteps.

( events meme )

and

Five RPS pairings you'd pay to see:

Tycho Brahe/Johannes Kepler: Astronomers. Brahe was a great observational astronomer, with astonishingly accurate results before the advent of the telescope, and Kepler worked as his assistant for some time. After Brahe's death, Kepler used the observations to back up his theory on the heliocentric nature of the solar system and the elliptical orbits of the planets

Genghis Khan/Marco Polo: well, they were on the same continent, at some time in the past...

"...Mary Carmichael and me": Two of "The Four Marys" from the ballad of that name - maids to Mary, Queen of Scots. The song is narrated by a Mary about to be put to death for theft. Not exactly historical figures, but...

Neil Armstrong/Buzz Aldrin: c'mon. don't you wanna?

Walt Whitman/Robert Frost: it would have to be a very pure sort of grandfather/grandchild thing, really, but sweet jeebus; the writing that would come out of that... I mean, Emily [Dickinson] and Rebecca [Elson] are still my faves, y'know, but they're, like, totally unslashable, and... just, man. see it.


so apparently nostalgia and I have somewhat different interests... hmm. *strokes chin thoughtfully*
