Post an AIBU from the point of view of a fictional character (from novels/nursery rhymes/plays etc) and everyone tries to guess the book and/or the character.

Everyone welcome to play/time-waste as much or as little as they please :)

AIBU to be protective of my DD?

(love the name, CJ Xmas Grin, am a recent convert to this crazy drink - wot no twirl?)

...well my old friend has turned up to the Snow Queen's palace where I'm playing with slivers of ice - and she thinks there's something in my eye! Maybe's she not so silly after all...

congrats Moomin - have a slightly used sledge, and a friendly reindeer Xmas Grin

Are you thinking about sticking around in disguise? Maybe as a cat?

ElephantsAndMiasmas · 07/12/2010 18:11

I like it. Xmas Smile

i'm warming up to ElfPantsAndMiasmas myself but feel there is room for improvement.

Edmund?

Has this been got? Am losing plot (fnar) slightly.

MoominWashesSocksByNight · 07/12/2010 18:35

Wotcha fink? Not as classy as your suggestions but I thought it was fetchingly irreverent. Grin

...I don't think my usual form is going to prove very durable so, yes, a change of appearance is in order...

ElephantsAndMiasmas · 07/12/2010 18:35

Hi Unruly

Not Edmund, but Kay from The Snow Queen, by sick puppy Hans Christian Anderson. I had a snow theme last week which seems to have rather hungover into the thaw Xmas Grin

Have you got one going Unruly? (hang on, is yours a poetical name too?)

Unrulysun · 07/12/2010 18:45

's Donne innit?

Sun Rising

Unrulysun · 07/12/2010 18:48

AIBU to stare?

ElephantsAndMiasmas · 07/12/2010 19:42

Very nice Moomin Xmas Smile

Will you be watching over a lad with magical powers? Or is he destined for otherwise great things? Curious as to why you're not very durable...are you disguised as something temporary?

Unruly - yeah thank you! Thought it was jolly old Donne but computer has decided I can only have one internet window at a time today so couldn't check.

YANBU to stare if you've seen something really really interesting. Probably BU if it's some poor new kid at school.

MCP.

He is really really interesting. Nice horse too. Totally worth it.

Have a feeling this is going to be a quick 'un!

Moomin are you related to the boy or is your sense of responsibility for some other reason?

ElephantsAndMiasmas · 07/12/2010 20:47

oh dear have just run out of horse-accompanied heroes in my mind...

have you never seen a man before? Xmas Grin

OP posts:
Unrulysun · 07/12/2010 21:36

Nope. Well, not for ages anyway. Not properly as you might say...

ElephantsAndMiasmas · 07/12/2010 21:44

Oh, I was thinking you might be a tower dweller with long hair.

But...could you be a different tower dweller with a very well-used mirror? If so, YABU because he's not worrrrfff it luv

MoominWashesSocksByNight · 08/12/2010 00:10

Oh dear, oh dear, the curse has come upon you, has it, Unruly? Most U indeed. You'd have been better off with the Inuit fairytales.

...He's my son and he's very magical. And the problem with my usual form is one of decay...

llandb · 08/12/2010 03:31
Unrulysun · 08/12/2010 07:54

Yeah - three paces through the room indeed...

Elephants have you magicked yourself immortal? No good will come of that IMHO.

I need a more difficult one...

Unrulysun · 08/12/2010 08:01

Oooh sorry Moomin - your AIBU not Elephant's.

ElephantsAndMiasmas · 08/12/2010 09:13

Aw lovely llandb Xmas Smile - how many embarrassing christmas outfits can you put him in this year while he's too small to complain?

Moomin - is it a problem cos you're dead, or are you made of...food or something?

OP posts:
Pogleswood · 08/12/2010 09:23

Busy,busy! Thanks for the grass and fruitcake,llandb - don't really fancy grass though,and Pointless seems to have scoffed the fruit cake....

Are you throwing out a challenge,Unruly,or just thinking aloud? Xmas Grin

AIBU to be pleased with my lodgings?

(and MCP...)

Unrulysun · 08/12/2010 10:00

Ha ha Pogleswood. I need to do a more difficult one. I am having quite enough difficulty being totally wrong myself!

And it's nice to be happy with one's home. Have you recently taken residence or have changes been made?

CJCreggnog · 08/12/2010 10:09

Cute, llandb Xmas Grin

A Christmas baby (ish). Doesn't he look like your DD?

AIBU to hold onto a library book?

ElephantsAndMiasmas · 08/12/2010 10:18

Pogle - would you say there's no place like home?

Unruly - don't worry, you can never tell which ones are going to be easy and which ones will be hard. One of the longer ones I can remember was based on Snow White.

CJ - YANBU but will have to pay up at some point

AIBU to consider cheating on my DH?

OP posts:
Unrulysun · 08/12/2010 10:48

Thanks Elephants :)

CJ does the fate of the world depend on it? Is it a very special library?
