It's a book character.

Mine's from Terry Pratchett :)

Magrat Garlick is Third Witch (out of 3) & has uncontrollable hair & is called a 'wet hen' by another more assertive witch.

Her dad spelt her name wrong, she was supposed to be a Margaret.

steppe I used to live in Kazakhstan, too! Only for a few months though, I would love to go back sometime.

My name is from Emily Wilding Davison, the suffragette. She was utterly amazing and we went to the same college (some years apart, obviously!)

It's the bit of the brain that deals with time perception. Mine's over-stimulated.

Shatner I've always thought yours was Star Trek related

I've never watched Star Trek

Fluffy Ragdolls. Raggies. I have 2 of them and the first time i posted was in the litter tray with a Q about them when they were kittens. They're 5 years old now :)

i like that shatners

in a direction contrary to the usual; in the wrong direction.

Ma Costa is a character from Philip Pullman's Northern Lights. Amazing book. Nothing to do with coffee!

I have been inside some prisons.

Norman Stanley Fletcher is a character in the prison based sitcom Porridge.

At the time, I felt too butch as Norman, so Norma it became.

Taken from a quote from Shakespeare's Troilus and Cressida: The raven chides blackness.

Basically another way of saying the pot calling the kettle black

Mine is a kick ass lady from World of Warcraft

Mine is because I don't like the word kids - I have no kids here, I have children

I don't have the imagination to look beyond the bookshelf beside me. And it's my favourite poem/only one I really remember from hours of rote learning at school.

Yes mama, no T no shade!

Mine is a character from a video game (and a comic book series apparently, but I've never read it).

My favourite names on here are ExitPursuedByABear and MsAdorbelleDearheartVonLipwig. Always smile when I see them.

Mine is taken from A Song of Ice and Fire/Game of Thrones. Cersei is my favourite character and 'Hear Me Roar' are her House words.

She likes a glass of wine or two, is a little bit nuts, very fierce, a survivor and intensely loyal to her loved ones...a lot like myself, I think, minus the incest of course!

Pivot
YES.
And I suppose 'If you have trouble remembering it, just think of a bag of crap' would be too long.

Mine is named after the Legend of Zelda game, Majora's Mask. The mask is pretty evil and sentient and tries to destroy the world of Termina by possessing a child and bringing the moon crashing down within three days. The game is notoriously hard, but I've just got the 3DS remake for Valentine's Day and having a blast

A line from The Princess Bride, which has been my go to happy film since it's release 28 years ago

Wilding - where were you? We were in the frozen north, for 8 years!

A character from children's DVDs, Veggie Tales.

I also love WorraLiberty and always silently seethe that you got there first

Mine is currently a character from a book trilogy. RabidFairy comes from the email of a supporting character who is very small, but very fierce. I am neither small nor fierce, but I liked her a lot
