more library woes
Finally managed to lie my way into a library card. Discovered that, no, there isn't an interlibrary loan system---where you can borrow books from other libraries---that, yes, if I want a book not in stock, I can visit the reference people and ask them to find it somewhere nearby. But---get this---*I* get to *pay* for the nearby library to ship it over.

Bloody unbelievable. Not to mention unacceptable. This is an affluent town. They should have an *amazing* library. They should have an interlibrary loan. At the very bleeding least, they should not force their patrons to pay to receive books. I can't even use my library card at the next-town-over's library.

>>Insert inarticulate roar of rage here<<

Too bad the Week of the Killer Quizzes can't kill the library for me. Sigh.

You scored as Obi-Wan.

You are Obi-Wan. One of the coolest guys in the galaxy and also one of the best Jedi masters. You are levelheaded, funny, and extremely smart. Others look up to you and you embrace it with love and respect. Sadly, you end up having to kill someone you love, but insane decisions are part of your everyday lifestyle.

Staff
You preferred a weapon with 23% power over speed and 47% range over melee.
You use a Staff. Length is up to you---perhaps you use a quarterstaff, a Jo, or a pair of Escrima, but you favor the intense speed and impressive versatility of a simple wooden stick. Effective staff fighters are capable of fighting many opponents at once, even ones armed with swords. Your opponents will rue the day they underestimated the potency of your weapon.

The Lord
You scored 15% Cardinal, 64% Monk, 50% Lady, and 51% Knight!
You are of the intellectual breed, and yet you are also very interested in war. You are of the aristocracy and head the cavalry a safe distance from the carnage of the front lines. You believe in defeating your enemy with not only might but also wit.

You scored high as both the Monk and the Knight. You can try again to get a more precise description of either the Monk or the Knight, or you can be happy that you're an individual.

Repent "(The) Harlequin" Said the Ticktock man!
You scored 42% Cardinal, 30% Monk, 44% Lady, and 40% Knight!
You are a mystery, a jack-of-all-trades. You have the king's ear, but also listen to murmurings of the common folk. You believe in the value of force and also literature. Truly you are the puzzlement of the age.

Greatsword
You preferred a weapon with 50% power over speed and 49% range over melee.
You use a Greatsword.

Do the words Zweihander or Flamberge mean anything to you? ::side note, I actually do know what Flamberege means. Coincidence... I think not.:: You prefer a Greatsword, a massive, heavy blade frequently strong enough to cut down the rides of mounted warriors. Though slow, the impressive length and heft of a greatsword makes it capable even of breaking through armor. Your enemies will run from the deadly arcs of your blade as you bear down on them.

I got Obi-Wan, but with an intersting subdistribution.
Obi-Wan 88%
Anakin 88%
Luke Skywalker 75%
Chewbacca 63%
The emperor 63%
Yoda 63%
Darth Vader 50%
Padme 50%
Princess Leia Organa 25%

Star Wars Quiz!! I can't believe you found a decent one though I do wish they had more choices and that the questions were a little less obvious. Still it was fun. So we are all Obi-Wan. I'm surprised I'm 100% compatible. not necessarily a bad thing and I think it's a tie between him and Yoda for my favorite Star Wars character. I wonder what the Chewbacca description is.

I was also a Staff and the Harlequin.

The real secret to our friendship: deep down, we're all Obi-Wan Kenobi. ;) As for Chewbacca, his description goes, "Weird and hairy you are, but super cool too. You're not much of a talker, but more of a moaner...you are best friends with the coolest guy in the galaxy and are often under appreciated, but hey that's life as a wookie. :)" I'm likin' that mention of Han.

As for the SW quiz, you have *no* idea how tough it was to find one even *this* subtle. Sheesh. Most were like, "You have kissed your brother" or "You kill people with Force lightning." Uh. Yeah. Right. But, yes, I wish this quiz had more options. Like Mara Jade. Or WEDGE!! Oh, yeah. I am *so* Wedge Antilles, man! :D

Nifty you're a fellow Staff. And the Harlequin result doesn't surprise me...for you or Czarina. (And go Czarina, our resident great sword...I kept trying to skew my results to get short sword, but I'd have to lie to do it...which is simply not in keeping with the Week of Killer Quizzes. Integrity must will out. Dammit.)

Thank you, my sword can always be counted on. But Staffs are a truck load more practical in a lot of situations, and the subject of that hysterically funny Daffy Duck cartoon. Ho-ha ha- he- ho-parry thrust- DOYYYYYYNG!
