I don't meme all that much, but I do follow Martin's A Song of Ice and Fire books, so, y'know...

Which Character Are You?

I'm Tywin Lannister, heaven help me.

Samwell Tarly. I think the "are you in shape" question almost defaults to him - he's pretty much the only overweight character in the book, given, y'know, the whole "half the world on the starvation edge of hunger" thing.

Hmm. Wasn't it more like "are you athletic"? I said no just because, you know, I'd like to be much fitter. I'm thin and all but I don't have good enough stamina and my joints keep getting creaky because I don't exercise them enough.

Well, given that I had apparently forgotten big, fat, hammer-swingin' King Robert, I think my argument has worse faults than that, but still, another point 'gainst me, I do admit.

I can't be expected to remember people who die partway through the first book, damn it. And yes, the meme has got me rereading the fucking books. Like once through wasn't enough. I started 'em again last night and am currently on page 612 of book 1 (I read rather quickly for a mere human) so expect to be done with them sometime next week, whereupon I will be all kinds of up to speed on who kills whom and when, at least for a while. My memories of these books are like a watercolor painting left in the rain -- after a while everything runs together. This time through, I find myself rooting for The Hound Clegane and the dwarf Tyrion and, of course, Daenerys because who wouldn't want to be sold to a horselord? And dragons. D'oh. Of COURSE I'm cheering for the dragons.
