I was given the letter B by red_magicmarker
I'm pretty tired so if you notice any mistakes, just yell at me and I'll fix it.
1) Books - Ah, were would I be without them. Well, probably on a nice vacation for all the money I spend on them. Alas, not only my bank account thinks that I should be at the library more often, but also my bookcases. I've just realized that although I just tossed two shelves worth of books into the closet, I'm out of empty shelves again.
2) Belgarion - Since we're on the topics of books. This will be the series that got me hooked on fantasy, an obsession that I've not gotten over yet (the Fantasy Swamp a friend of mine calls it). I've read the books at least five times, so I'm inclined to agree with him. Some people will recognize this.
3) Baloo - Even if this name kind of remind me of christmas and the Jungle Book. Baloo's a pretty cheeky piebald pony I tended for a while. Although I had ridden before, this was the first time I actually worked in a stable. He was too small for me to ride, but I've a rather vivid memory of him untying my shoe laces as I was brushing him.
4) Brockeback Mountain - Was beautiful and sad and made me not want Jack to die, even though I know he would. The scary thing is that this is how prejudices work. It's not a nice feeling.
5) Blue - This is the color I, if pressed, will name as my favourit.
6) Brothers - I have two. Older both of them.
7) Buckbeack - You really thought I wouldn't be able to put in one more book reference? This will give me the opportunity to rant about book translations. In Swedish, Buckbeack is named Vingfåle, with ving meaning wing and fåle with the approximate meaning of horsey. Therefor Winghorsey. I started reading the Harry Potter books in english when OotP was released. You've no idea how long it took me to realize who it was that was lying in Sirius' mothers' room chewing on rats. Slughorn has also suffered. The chapter A Sluggish Memory, kind of looses the charm when translated into A Snailish Memory. The chapter Dudley Demented in OotP was renamed Dudley gets Decked. Yes, I'm in pain.
8) Birthdays - Are still much appreciated. "Happy Birthday" is no longer foremost a birthday song, but Flipsyde's song, which I rather like. This means I get a bit disappointed when putting on the radio thinking it's Flipesyde's song and then it's TATU's Gomen Nasai *weeps*
9) Botticelli - Renaissance painter. Botticelli's Venus might sound familiar. Italy had a lot of great painters. Dang, I want to go to Italy.
10) Bonkers - Is what I feel like now. Oh, pillow my friend. Let me hug you. Well, hopefully you already knew about the insane part.
If you want a letter of your own. Let me know and we'll fix it
