Meme post one

Leochi picked me among her 10 lj people who make my day list. The rules are simple, if picked, make your own list of lj people who make your day (previously done lists count!) Except there is no way I can name just 10 people. You're all too amazing. So I am shamelessly cheating and have 10 groups and even then I am leaving out many people who should be here.

[personal profile] anthimaeria and [personal profile] jadzialove: I genuinely find it hard to remember that I don't see you two regularly in real life. In addition to being compassionate, funny and thoughtful, you write with wit and style, and you both have great hair.
[profile] dumbys_baby : you have a group of your own because I actually do see you regularly. You're just lovely in every way, and I hope everything goes smoothly at Easter. Write more fic, dammit.
[profile] sansa1970, [personal profile] bryoneybrynn, [profile] calanthe_fics and [profile] nqdonne: you all started off as just writers I liked (and the first three of you have also been huge influences), and then became friends I look forward to chatting to. I hope that all the things in your lives that are causing you stress and difficulty resolve themselves smoothly and swiftly.
[profile] house_illrepute, [profile] shiv5468 and [personal profile] pir8fancier: I nod so much at your posts that sometimes I feel a tiny bit stalkerish. I'd like to point out that if I were a stalker, I would be the type that comes bearing quality alcohol or handspun alpaca and knocks off at 5.30pm.
[profile] lackofmendacity, [personal profile] thady and [profile] romaine24: you three are kind, gentle and gracious, which are old-fashioned qualities but ones the world is in desperate need of.
[personal profile] leochi, [profile] djinniyah, and [personal profile] lillithium: as people, you all make me smile. But as artists you change the way that I look at HP and make me think about my writing in ways that I never would without you.
[personal profile] pushdragon  and [personal profile] snottygrrl , we WILL hang out in person in the next few months, dammit. I am not enduring the idiocy of this year without meeting people I know I already like.
[profile] bubblegumlocks, [profile] emerald_dragon8, and [personal profile] slian_martreb: it's been a while since I was a young person, but the three of you remind me of what it was like. You all have so much fortitude and ability. Even when things seem crap, I know that your futures will be shiny, because you all are.
[personal profile] grey_hunter, [personal profile] winstonmom and [profile] daisy_chan: you three take time out from your own work to regularly encourage the work of others. You are examples that I am trying to follow more closely.
[personal profile] frayach, [personal profile] furiosity and [personal profile] fourth_rose , you are the three whose stories and updates make me late for work. This month has been rubbish since you are all otherwise occupied (mostly -- off to finish Interregnum next!). If I ran the universe you would have large fic stipends and comfy chairs. It helps that you all seem to be the sort of people I would cheerfully hang out with.

LOL, well, we have acronyms for everything in this country. Next Monday is MLK day.

And I wouldn't say VD - not very romantic. :D

First time I ever saw MLK Day I became excited at the idea of a national holiday for Harvey Milk. I'm good with one for Dr King, too.

Have you heard there's going to be a Harvey Milk movie coming out? Sean Penn is in it. Somehow I can't see him as a gay man, but we'll see.

Is this the one with him in an afro? Looking forward to it!

Not an afro, but his look is pretty groovy nonetheless.

Ah, the '70's. I think actually there is a Harvey Milk Day celebrated in San Francisco.
