 Things I am grateful for beginning with the letter "L", meme via [personal profile] oursin :
  • love <3: Nuff said?
  • letters: I am quite enjoying my month of letters, especially as I have discovered some fun stationary for bargain price$ and have made some of my own, too.
  • Lavar Burton/LaForge, Geordi: Pioneer of disability in!space! plus engineering wiz. There is a great Jess Fink comic that I believe sums it up best. (Plus, don't forget READING RAINBOW zomg.) (And yes I love Picard too, but this is the letter L we are talking about.)
  • Licorice/Liquorice however the heck you spell it. Do Brits and USers even agree? I dunno, that stuff is addictive. Especially Pontefract cakes. Om nom nom. (Did I mention my grandmother is visiting and may be bringing said addictive substance? I am craving it especially now.)
  • Library of Congress: Even though they are suuuuuuuper slow bringing things from the stacks, and sometimes they have mysteriously lost items...it's still really awesome to do research there. I miss it. *sigh* Not enough to get a PhD though.
  • Liz! because self-love is a good thing. ^_____^
  • Lace charts. Apparently now in addition to spinning I am on a lace knitting kick? And suddenly, after over a year of hating the darn things, they suddenly make sense and I love them. So yes, lace charts, we like them yes.
  • Longbottom, Neville. In my brainworld, Neville would have done it in four books. Just sayin'. <3 And with less angst. (Not to start a fan war, I am just stating personal preference. OK? OK. Good? Good.)
I could go into things like Leicester, Blue-Faced Wool, which is delightful to work with -  it really, really is and I am looking forward to spinning some fancy stuff - but I think I will save that for not my circle, because a long list can be boring.

If you're interested in doing this meme too, comment and I'll give you a letter of your own!

No letter, thank you! (But if I had then I'd've picked R or J, heh.)

Library of Congress: some of the 'lost' I blame on bad keying in of references when they computerised (at least, I came across instances of this when I was there).

And if you sent something back and realised then that you needed it again it was in some twilight in transit zone for days if not weeks.

I got your letter the other day and it made my day. And now that my thumb is cooperating, I can write back to you (which I wanted to do when I got your holiday card, but I couldn't write anything by hand and I hate typing letters).

I love licorice too, but I don't have it often because it makes my spouse ill to even think about it. LOL

ITA about Geordi and Neville!

Oooh, you've been to the Library of Congress? Swoon! If my parents had stayed in Virginia past my second birthday, I probably would have gone there a bunch too.

I don't usually do these memes, but I'm procrastinating tonight (stretching my 10 from a 20/10 to a lot longer than 10 minutes), so I'd love it if you would pick a letter for me. Thanks!

yay Liz!

Eeee, Geordi. <3 That is a great comic. The power of LAFORGE.

Also, yay month of letters! I think mine is going well too.

(I can't decide if I'm in the right frame of mind to do this meme. Maybe that really means I should. It's not like I have other things to post about right now.)
