11 is a very powerful number in numerology, yes. (should start a thread on numbers too). It's a master number
K is very feminine though, don't you think? I mean, I definitely see k as a feminine entity as opposed to the hard, masculine C. Even though C can be soft too, so I guess C is biexual. But k..think of how your kinergarten teacher taught you how it starts all these soft words, like "kitten," "kite," etc, it gave it such a gentle, almost submissive matter. Maybe kindergarten teachers across the world are guity of projecting an unwanted docility onto K, I don't know.

When I was little I used to explain it like this:My name is Sarah.I got to School.I was born on September Sixth (19) Seventy-Seven.
Then later I loved S because that's the letter I would find all the good cds under when I went shopping.
Plus, it's fun to write. For a while when I was very little, I would write my name so that the S became a swan.

I actually have major issues with S, probably because so many people don't pronounce it right, including myself of course. Which other letter has caused such agonizing lisps, such rigorous speech problems and complexes? I may even dislike S. It's too dominant in the english language too, and there's VERY dishonest about this letter. I think it has to do with its slippery shape, and all of those 's'-erpentine connotations

Numbers are more closely associated with gender of course, since they are assigned to planetary energies which are either masculine or feminine, but letters are removed by a degree, since they are represented directly by numbers, not planets. In other words, each number is linked to a planet which has a specific gender status, but each letter is only linked to a particular number, so the gender status of letters can be hard to determine. I still think each letter has a gender, though

You have just admitted to owning exclusively S Club 7 cds. Which is not to say that I haven't noticed the "S bands are better" phenomeneon.

B is quite a happy letter but not on I particularly associate with. It reminds me of a big fat jolly man for some reason. Not a very versatile letter (in English at least), but quite fun to pronounce Buhbuhbhbuh!
I look at letters as if they're people - also I like the idea that they face a certain direction. z, j, q, y, a, d, g all face backwards, while e, r, t, p, s, f, h etc... face forwards. Others face the front and the rules often change if you're writing capital letters.
Other remarks - H - a very strong, masculine letter, associated with words like hard, hammer and heavy.M - a soft feminine character. For me the most effeminate one.Q - gay letter.
In this way you could do some kind of rum psychology experiment where you sort different people into different "types" by the letter that is best associated with them.
I'd like to start a names thread to see if people think they act or look like their given name.
