This is not a real update, I am afraid.

I am thankful for lots and lots of things, including (but not limited to) my studies, my friends, my family, my life in general, and my sister. (Yes, she's part of my family, but she gets a special mention anyway.)

Also, I have a meme, courtesy of [livejournal.com profile] deborah_judge.

Reply to this post, and I'll tell you one/a lot of reasons why I like/love/adore you. Then post this in your LJ and share the love.

In no particular order:


  • You make excellent bread, although I have not eaten any of it in far too long.
  • You have the kind of sense of humor that can spontaneously produce ferrets of inconvenience.
  • You cant (chant? daven? there's got to be a verb form of "cantor"!) with deep feeling, a very fine voice and careful attention to detail
  • Also, you're generally a mensch.

  • You're a brilliant scholar, and you're already changing your field just by existing in it. I really admire the work you're doing.
  • You're not afraid to have fun, despite the demanding schedules and requirements of grad school.
  • You have unusual talents, including belly-dancing and biscotti baking.
  • You work hard on keeping in touch with friends. (You work harder on it than I do. Bad me.)
  • You're just fun to be around.


*hug back*

Reading this made me go all melty. I am slightly concerned, however, at how many times "fun" appeared in your statements... but it doesn't seem like I have problems being taken seriously yet! ;)

Oh, don't worry. You see, almost all of my friends are serious intellectuals, but not nearly enough of them enjoy themselves. You're certainly a serious scholar, but you can arrange your life in such a way that you're not studying at every instant.

w00t. Now if only this enjoyable arrangement of my life didn't mean that I'll probably have to take an incomplete this semester... oh wait, I can blame it on my finicky fieldwork situation! Dang those bellydancers... ;)

  • You're surviving the whole dissertation thing and living to tell about it; as I have not yet started my dissertation, I watch in trepidation and awe.
  • You share the Shakespeare love with us. I expect I'll go back and check your capsule reviews next time I need to figure out what Shakespeare to watch.
  • Your icons are simultaneously erudite and hilarious.

I could stand to get, and give, some good karma this time of year.

You don't know me so well, so I'll happily settle for one like.

You have excellent taste in books.

Also, when I was looking at your journal to decide what to comment on, I saw the story of the minister in your high school class. I really admire the kind of conviction you showed then and the bravery with which you supported your conviction.

  • You introduced me to Dorothy Sayers, for which I thank you again.
  • You love sharing bizarre minutiae of law with us.
  • Your hamster always makes my day.

Speaking of which, did you know that Jeremy Bentham offered to codify the laws of the State of Pennsylvania for free? (Evidently they declined.)

I'm having a stressy week - may I have some love, please? :) I promise to give it back once the con is over...

I've had some wonderful conversations with you that moved from academia to children's literature and back again. Granted, they were ... four! ... years ago, but they made me happy. I do hope you're coming to K'zoo again this year, so we can actually talk!

*hug* Thank you!

And yes, I am currently planning to be at Kalamazoo, and I'm really looking forward to seeing you there!

You introduce me to fascinating and highly symbol-heavy new shows. Also, you're a delightful person and a good friend.

You're passionate about the stories you tell, and you're a terrifically fun person to write Arthurian epics with.

Passionate...

Or obsessed.

Thank you for choosing the nicer, less insane of those words. *grins*

And, you too!

You work very hard. I know I wouldn't have been able to manage major work with the student newspaper alongside my classes as an undergraduate. :)

I'm always too embarrassed to respond to these. I'm toying with the idea that maybe I should let go off some of these embarrassments.

I am replying, for I am somewhat curious what you will say. :) (Never saw that one coming, did ya?)

I'm replying because I'm a shameless self-promoter.. And I wanted to send love your way too. You are super-duper incredible woman who is the BEST TRAVEL PARTNER EVER(this of course is because I am one of the WORST TRAVEL PARTNERS EVER). I keep waiting for a teen library job to show up in Berkley..

I can't wait for K-Zoo, see you then! PS--Niki is looking at Post-doc work in the midwest, there's hope we will meet again! Also, email her. She is stressed and needs love too.
