Ganked without attribution from people on other people's f-lists

I know very little about some of the people on my friends list. Some people I know relatively well. But here's a thought: why not take this opportunity to tell me a little something about yourself. Any old thing at all. Just so the next time I see your name I can say: "Ah, there's Parker ...she likes money and cereal." I'd love it if everyone who's friended me did this. (Yes, even you people who I know really well.) Then post this in your own journal [only if you feel inclined]. In return, ask me anything you'd like to know about me and I'll give you an answer*.

That's a shame. I have a tenth-- or maybe eleventh-- grade essay arguing that Tristan and Iseult is about how good intentions can lead to terrible outcomes. That probably sounds reasonable to you, but, actually, as an example, I cited the "fact" that the entire story was accidentally masterminded by sentient birds as evidence of my point.

(On that topic, you cannot convince me that the lepers weren't secretly planning to release Iseult. Otherwise, the story is just too problematic.)

When I was fifteen, I wrote an essay all about how the holy grail stories across Celtic and Germanic Europe had their roots in pre-Christian myths of a cauldron of plenty, and had nothing to do with Jesus's bloodline or Mary Magdalene, thank you very much. The Da Vinci Code really annoyed me, if you couldn't tell, so I wrote it for kicks, though I later submitted it for extra credit. I also attempted a feminist analysis of Guinevere and Morgan le Fay, which in retrospect is kind of adorable.

It makes me very sad that you didn't save these.

I'm just glad the world has been spared their continued existence.
