Why is it, that although the Mac appears to do all sorts of weird, wonderful and useless special characters (little cartoony planes not excluded), I can't find the slashed v's used to indicate the versicle in prayer books and missals.

Bah.

It's also a small world in cyberspace, apparently...

Um, hi, I do hope you are the person I think you are and I'm not confusing some poor random stranger with my weird comments.

Anyway, I spotted your username in a comments thread to some Doctor Who fanfiction and just clicked on it in search for your journal and your profile because I was intrigued by the choice of "Tree and Leaf".

Then I had a look at your info page and thought: "How nice! A student of German who's interested in shiny things like Tolkien, Doctor Who, D.L.Sayers and Patrick O'Brian and who seems to be studying in Oxford."

And I then I thought a bit harder and asked myself the question: "How many people can there possibly be who are studying medieval German at the University of Oxford, have this kind of fannish interests but also a very strong interest in liturgy and theology?"

Sorry, this probably doesn't make much sense so far, as I shouldn't be posting anything past midnight.

So, in brief, I think we have already met in real life, but I'm simply too paranoid to plaster my actual name (or yours) all over Livejournal.

Are you a resident of Oriel College? And are you from Scotland originally?

If so, then you should probably realize who I am if I tell you that we met at TolkSoc meetings last year, while I was a visiting student from Germany in Oxford.

And I have a bit of a guilty conscience because I never wrote to you or any of the Taruithorn people, apart from sending Christmas e-cards... :(

But I'm putting you on my f-list right now. If you'd like to, you may friend me back if the frivolity and randomness of my journal aren't too off-putting for you.:)

And if you should be a complete stranger after all, I apologize, of course, for spamming your journal with stalkerish-sounding attempts to get in touch.

I am who you think I am, and I think you are who I think you are...

(Confused yet?)

Funny: this is the second time I have been recognised on LJ in two days. Damnit, I always knew I'd make a rubbish double agent!

Will friend you back momentarily.
