Amusing problem with Name

Thu Nov 1, 2007, 6:44 PM

Okay, this is a completely pointless Journal Entry, but I haven't done much else on DArt for a while, and it's kinda funny, so I might as well put it down.

See, my screen name, "Afalstein", is supposed to be a character in Ivanhoe, who's a fat, old thane of noble lineage, reaching back to Harold, the Saxon King. He is engaged to marry Rowena, the heroine, but towards the end, he realizes she doesn't love him and rather good-naturedly gives her over to Ivanhoe, the hero. (duh)

All well and good. He's a fun character and he needs more attention. But the guy's name is actually spelled "Athalstane" which actually makes more sense, but sounds like the one I have. This basically means that, by trying to be clever and not checking up on my facts, I have made a complete fool of myself, as this is pretty much the name I use across the internet.

Which is actually kinda funny, when you think about it. Anyway, I think MY version looks cooler, and it's too much work to change it, so it's staying that way. Maybe I'll invent something about it later.

Hate me not for the plotlines I weave, but for the cliffhangers that precede me :D
No problem. I've recently become interested in Naruto, and it's fun to find a running comic strip on it.

Ah. Good question. I started watching online, up till about the Sai and Sasuke arc, and then I heard about 437. So I went forward and saw that, and kept reading from then on.

But I know most of the story between from online summaries.
