How do you imagine other BDers

[Lalwendë]

Lalwende, contrary to her avatar, does not look like Bilbo Baggins! I imagine her as having a nice cozy little house with lots of pictures on the walls. She has all sorts of unusual books and cool-looking things from museum gift shops and little stores she's discovered covering every flat surface. She always has a couple of candles burning. She likes gardening, and the crunch leaves make beneath her feet in the fall. She loves bright and sunny days, but appreciates the rainy ones too because they give her an excuse to sleep late.

Blimey! That's close! All apart from the candles; although I do have some, they are more for decoration as I'm scared of fire! Though I do have an open fireplace, which is great in winter. And though I do not look like Bilbo Baggins, apart from first thing in the morning, I'm about his size, heh.

I knew you would have notebooks! I used to keep them for years and have stacks of them full of writing by me and my old friends. As for Sylvia Plath, I could go on for ages; I specialised in her work at university (I'm a big poetry nut) - there's a lot more to her work than meets the eye. I think Lady Lazarus is my favourite, but Ican also recommend Ted Hughes' Birthday Letters, apart from being marvellous themselves, as they shed a lot of light on her work from a biographical viewpoint. Sorry, I'm on the wrong board for this topic here, aren't I?
