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?

Morai-- I'm a she. But you're pretty much correct!
Good thing I didn't go with my instincts in my guess....

Morai's name has a dark sound to it, so I imagine her as a slender girl (apologies if you're male!) with straight, dark brown hair. She's quiet around people she doesn't know, but is loud and funny when she's with her friends.
You're right personality wise, but as for the looks, not quite. I did want straight hair for a long time, but it looks quite strange when straightened since it's so thick and naturally curly. I am quite slender, so your right on that one. As for dark brown hair, not a chance.

Funny! In the morning I resemble a cross between Grima and Boromir, scary I know.
Lalwendë: I'll cheat by adding in a few things from your last post. As you said, your a big on the short side, and you're slightly plump, but it only makes you look healthier. You have brown, short, springy hair that exists as a mop on your head. There's always a sparkle in your chocolate colored eyes. When you speak, you talk to the point in such a way that it still friendly.

isn't Sylvia Plath amazing? I just finished reading the Bell Jar. Wonderful book.
I did a report on her, just a month ago, for English class. Reports on dead american poets...we made up tombstones, and stuck them on the wall...methinks my english teacher is a bit morbid sometimes...(but what does that make me...? I asked specifically for Sylvia Plath, rather than be assigned someone... I've been fascinated ever since I randomly found a magazine article on her last year, read it, was depressed for a week...)

Anyway, I've not yet read the Bell Jar, but I have read lots of her poetry.

Ok...on topic now...

Lalwende, in my mental image, does look a bit like Bilbo...from a distance out of the corner of your eye. She has the same colour hair, curly and shoulder-length. Her eyes are brownish hazel. She's a bit chubby, but in a very cute way, like a teddy bear. She's always smiling, often a bit mischeviously.

Interesting...people have both black and blond going for my hair color. Personalitywise, however, you guys hit the mark.
I am actually blond, with blue-grey eyes(thought I do like to wear green color contacts). I wish my hair were curly, but, alas, its straight as a stick most of the time. Feanor-good job on the jewelery I wear. You hit the button, mellon nin.

Basically, for me, cross a Goth with Galadriel and your in the general ballpark.

Now, I would not call myself cute, I always have the impression of myself that I tend to crash around the place like Boudicca on a bad day, and when I flare my nostrils in anger... though I'm told that in reality you'll see me sneaking about with a cheeky smile on my face. But yes, I am not exactly thin, yet everything is in the right place, more than, if you see what I mean. I'm a bit of a witchy hobbit. So with that clue I'll let you guess again on my hair and eyes...

Morai - I'm sure I once said I saw you wearing big, stompy boots. Was I right?
