Pellinore

Seeing as I'm a fairly new member, I suppose it is only right that my first attempt at editing a page should be my own.

Origin of the Name

I have taken my choice of character, if you will, straight from the pages of T.H. White's "The Once and Future King." As many familiar to the work know, King Pellinore is a rather hopeless knight who has dedicated his life to hunting down the mythological Questing Beast without much luck. However, he is hopelessly dedicated to this quest of his, and with a shout of "Yoicks, what!" will charge off at the mere mention of his Beast Glatisant.

Perhaps I identify myself to some degree with this strange fellow, one with admirable intentions and grand goals, but sadly lacking the skills to carry out either. Ever he tries, and ever he fails, but he seems to have a rather good philosophy about the whole thing.

Interests

I take as my model l'ombre universale.

Parting Note

When on Wikipedia, you'll see me rarely and hear from me even less. However, I will appear from time to time, and should I find something of sufficient interest to me you might just hear a faint "Yoicks, what!" as I go charging off in God-knows-what direction (most likely the wrong one) in search of more complete answers and reliable information. Who knows? Perhaps I'll even return triumphant with some useless baggage of trivia tucked under my arm that I can proudly display on the article as my trophy.
