An amusing meme from... everywhere, almost.

Name a character from one of my fandoms and I'll give you (a) three facts about them from my personal canon/fanon, (b) a reason I dislike him/her, (c) a reason she/he is brilliant, (d) five things that never happened to that character or (e) five people that character never fell in love with and why. You pick the character. I pick the letter.

I am irritated to note that I have about €5 in library fines. I really hate the German system of giving you a stupid little computer printout with the date on it - which I instantly lose - rather than putting a stamp in the back/ front of the book where you can see it at a glance. I also haven't had the postal 'Mahnung' - as I set my preferences to 'contact by e-mail', I assumed if I didn't get an e-mail nothing could be overdue, but apparently they just send out overdue notices by post. This strikes me as expensive and inefficient, but is probably a good way to increase fine revenue....

a.

1. The main reason he went off to India with Repanse was that he couldn't stand the European weather. Too much rain and fog.

2. He never quite forgot Sekundille, though he tried quite hard to.

3. He was fond of Parzival, but he had difficulty taking him seriously as Graal King.

re. 3: him and me both!

(I always thought it was unfair he couldn't see the Graal; but then again - if he could, he'd probably have taken over the whole shbang immediately - asked The Question, and made the epic a bit more pagan. And then Wolfram would have done for heresy.)

More importantly, it would kind have made the whole Parzival story up till then pointless :)
