This was a meme once

Bunn's not-a-meme post made me feel challenged to come up with 8 strange facts about myself, by hook or by crook, just to prove that I'm not a poorly-drawn background character in someone else's story. I suspect I am, though. I think I'm one of those minor characters whose entire personality is defined by a few quirks, over-played to comic effect. I'm the Morris dancing, fantasy-reading children's librarian, played by some second-rate character actor. (I wonder who.)

I found this very hard. I would be fairly easy if I was doing it as an ice-breaker at some library conference, since I could put things like "I do Morris dancing," but most things that occurred to me are things I've already mentioned on LJ, whether in my journal or in comments in other people's. Hmm… You can tell why I seldom post memes. I often intend to do the "50 questions" type of meme, but I always answer each question with a whole paragraph, so the whole thing takes too long.
