Anonymous Love Meme

[rachelmanija]

People on my f-lists keep protesting the existence of hate memes. I have never actually seen a hate meme, but I gather that they're posts or communities in which people are encouraged to anonymously post about how much they hate each other.

I am a big old sap today and it strikes me that a lot of people I know could use some cheering up, so I have turned off IP address logging (like I could use that to trace anyone anyway, but turning it off is apparently traditional) and anonymous comments are enabled as always.

If you would like to anonymously post about how much and why you love someone or something-- a person, a fandom, a character, a strange combination of foods to be eaten while standing over the sink-- the comments are open.

If you want to post about a particular person, please use their name or LJ handle. I am annoyed by posts where people write things like "There is a person on my f-list who is kind and gracious and sweet, but really needs to gain some self-esteem and also could use a better haircut-- but I won't say who it is, because it could be about more than one person, so if you think it's you, maybe it is," so please don't write stuff like that.

ETA: You don't have to be anonymous. It's just an option, should you prefer to be.

I love misia, who is fierce and funny and knowledgeable and who fights for what is right.

(Why do I have to say this anonymously, anyway? And yes, I've said it to her in person.)

I love that it's June and it's finally starting to act like June, here, with warm lazy afternoons and cool dusky evenings, but that the mosquitos haven't got the memo yet.

I love my new volunteer gig at a museum, and that it lets me see things like an ukiyo-e print of cats lying in the shapes of hiragana which spell out 'neko'-- a print from the 1700s that nevertheless makes me feel that humor can be universal.

I love the people I've been very privileged to get to know over the Internet-- you and Mely and Oyce and copperwise and yhlee and papersky and the_red_shoes and octopedingenue and mikeneko and rysmiel and too many more to list.

I love that I'm old enough to eat ice cream for breakfast whenever I want, and young enough to feel delightedly guilty every time I do it.

Not going anonymous. Don't need to.

I love llygoden who isn't by far as nondescript as she thinks she is.

I love coffeeandink more than I love ice cream.

I love coffeeandink for many things, including the way she isn't afraid to own her opinions about books, and the way she serves as a nexus of book-talk on LJ.

And I love minnow1212 for her warmth and her insight, both of which are above the norm. And for her writing, which serves as a marvelous introduction to her other qualities.

I love so many of my flist. It would take forever to post them all.

I love you because you keep me inspired to write and succeed, you keep me inspired to be a strong woman, and you're just generally shiny.

I love barbeque, and I don't care who knows it!
