Today I am replacing his stuffing. Last night, I discovered him to be stuffed with horrid shredded polystyrene. No wonder he never got dry after his bath! I'll stop by the fabric store today for some proper, more cuddly stuffing.
I still have Frederick, my father's teddy bear. It was the only childhood memento he kept, and the poor guy looks rather beat up. He's always been so as long as I recall; I've thought of refurbishing him, but I just keep him as I received him.
I'm wanting to swipe your “'What If' Is a Game for Scholars” icon, by the way: Alternate history is a major and on-going interest of mine. I'd acknowledge my source, of course, but what the hey, I'll ask first anyway...?
It's nice to keep things "as is" for sentimental reasons, but often fixing them up a bit can help them to last that much longer. Nameless Bear has now been re-stuffed and is much more cuddly.
Please feel free to yoink the icon, all I ask is a credit on your icons page. As you probably know, I made it for silverscreenfic, but it really sums up the whole field of alternate history and fanfiction very well, doesn't it? And Timothy Dalton really was unforgivably pretty in that film.
Y' know what? You're intimidatingly intelligent, but very likeable, and I envy you your education: I read Geoffrey Bibby's Four Thousand Years Ago in high school, and I was already into Bronze Age cultures even then.
We have only one listed interest in common, and we may have nothing whatever to say to one another - but we're doing fine so far.
Actually, I am just an emormous geek. Lots and lots of useless knowledge. Interesting discussion arises from contrasting ideas, doesn't it? So we should be fine. :p
