Spelled with an 'e'

You're Anne of Green Gables!

by L.M. Montgomery

Bright, chipper, vivid, but with the emotional fortitude of cottage
cheese, you make quite an impression on everyone you meet. You're impulsive, rash,
honest, and probably don't have a great relationship with your parents. People hurt
your feelings constantly, but your brazen honestly doesn't exactly treat others with
kid gloves. Ultimately, though, you win the hearts and minds of everyone that matters.
You spell your name with an E and you want everyone to know about it.

But don't even think about calling me 'Rose'!

Oh, I love those books! I think I have the entire collection (paperback) in a box somewhere -- It will be fun when the girls are old enough to share them with.

Anne with an "e" is pronounced the same.

Ros and Rose are two different names... It's the double consonant versus the single consonant. Perhaps you would like to go by Rosse? (I can tell I'm tired, I'm actually laughing at this).

Since I moved to the US I don't think I've met more than three people who've got my name right first time. 'Rose' is the most common choice, followed by 'Ross'. Now I try to let an American friend introduce me first but even that doesn't always work.

I love these books too. Anne of the Island and Anne's House of Dreams even made it onto the (necessarily short) list of books to be brought to America. I hope your girls enjoy them too one day.

I think I can shed a bit of light on the problem of the pronunciation of your name by Yanks. I can't remember who said it but I've heard it said that the trouble with American English is: too many 'Z's; not enough 'U's. If you spelled your name like a *proper* Yank--RoZ, we'd be able to pronounce it. ;-).

[girlyswot.livejournal.com]

Yes, although most often the people who have difficulties have never seen it written down. I think it's more of an accent issue - no short 'o' in the American pronunciation!

I'm the Poisonwood Bible. Haven't read it, but it says I'm "deeply religious." Um, wtf.

I'm the book Compassion Fatigue which I've never heard of but sounds damn scary.

You used to care, but now it's just getting too difficult. You cared about the plight of people in lands near and far, but now the media has bombarded you with images of suffering to the point that you just don't have the energy to go on. You've become cold and heartless, as though you'd lived in New York City for a year or so. But you stand as a serious example to all others that they should turn off their TV sets and start caring again.

I don't think that's true at all!

If I say dinosaurs are cool I get to be Jurrasic Park otherwise I get some sci fi thing I've never heard of! I'm not convinced. I'd rather be Anne of Green Gables too! (And no 'e' to make Belle for me either!)

What was the Sci Fi thing?

[tdu000.livejournal.com]

Orson Scott Card's Ender's Game. It might actually be a thriller not sci fi. In either case I haven't read it and would never read that sort of book, however well it is written. They obviously send you along different routes depending on your answers. Now if only they'd asked me whether I wanted a cup of tea, I'd have been well away.

It's supposed to be one of the greatest science fiction novels ever written. Viridian is wild about it. I've never read it, myself, although I think I put it on my Amazon "wish" list...

[tdu000.livejournal.com]

Oh well, if I'm going to be a science fiction novel, at least I'm a good one. It would be terrible to be a bad novel, of any genre. It's not a type of book that has ever appealled to me and I don't know much about it.

Hmmmm...I took this little quiz twice because I couldn't decide if I spent more time 'teaching' or 'learning'...

The first time I got 'The Hobbit':
'All you wanted was a nice cup of tea when some haggard crazy old man came into your life and told you it was time to do something with yourself. Now you're all conflicted about whether to stick with your stay-at-home lifestyle or follow this crazy person into the wild. While you're very short and a little furry, you seem to be surrounded by an even greater quantity of short folks lately. Try not to lose your ring, but keep its value in perspective!'

And the second time I got 'Anne of Green Gables', like you did.

Hmmm...given these options I think I'd choose 'bright, chipper, vivid' over 'short and a little fury' any day! LOL

[girlyswot.livejournal.com]

Me too!

I would love to be Anne of Green Gables - then I'd get Gilbert!

[girlyswot.livejournal.com]

Dreamy Gilbert! He knew how to appreciate red hair and freckles. I think we would have a lot in common. *nods*
