So much love, people!

[butterfly]

I only got to love on two people in musesfool's recent love meme before it ran out of space (I hear it is continuing elsewhere, which I will investigate). There was a thread about me on there, which filled me with more quiet joy than I can possibly say, especially as it's the first time I've appeared on a love meme that I've aware of. Feeling loved is a nice feeling.

And I want to share it! All you wonderful, wonderful people, I love you. I love all of the people on my flist --  I wouldn't read your journals if I didn't find you to be intelligent/interesting/lovable. And I love all the people who have me on their flists. I do! You all have me friended for various reasons -- things we have in common or something about me that you like -- and that's so flattering and wonderful. Thank you!

I love all the current television shows that I watch and all of the tragically cancelled ones. I love my strong women -- all the way from ass-kickers like Buffy and Lois Lane through brainy chicks like Amita, Fred, and Sam. I love all the fantastic brother shows that are on right now -- I'm watching Numb3rs, Supernatural, Prison Break, and now The Black Donnellys, and I am loving them all. Also, I love that I just got the first disc of the second season of Arrested Development from netflix last night. That is such a kick-ass show and I think I'm shipping Michael and Lindsay (it's not my fault -- he kissed her!).

My love is vast -- it contains multitudes. In fact, I have so much love that if you mention something (anything!) in comments, I will tell just what it is that I love about that thing. Because my love is overflowing and I must share!

Cheese?

So, you don't know me, but this vast post of loving has caused me to come out and say hi. Hi! I'm Q. And I totally love your vids. And that i can vicariusly watch TV through you. I've been stalking you for a few months now, cause spiletta42 reced some of your vids, you are just that fantastic But don't tell her that you know we're stalking you. It's a big secret shhhhhh...
Yeah so...What, if anything, do you love about Cheese?

Re: Cheese?

Hey there! It's nice to meet you. Thanks for the compliment on my vids.

As for cheese... hmm. There was a period in my life (six months or a year) where the main things I ate were salami, french bread, tillamook cheese, cucumbers, and milk. Cheese is a very convenient food product, because it's ready to eat when you buy it or you can mix it with pretty much anything. Also, cheese on pizza is one of the best inventions that ever happened. Cheese is a fantastic thing!

Also! I love many things that are considered to be cheesy. Many of the bands or shows that I've liked in the past get called cheesy by those who don't like them. I don't try to deny the cheesy parts of what I love, just proudly admit that I love it anyway.

Tilamook makes the bestest cheese. I have a friend who lives quite near there, and went on the tour, she sent me a whole bunch of awesome cheese stuff. And you are so right, cheese is a FANTASTIC thing!

livejournal!

[butterfly.livejournal.com]

Livejournal is the best thing ever! So many wonderful, giving, fantastic people populate it, so many people who are discussing and creating based around shows and characters that I adore. Livejournal is a prime spot for gatherers of fandom and fandom has given my life so much.

There's always at least one post per day that makes me smile. At least one other that tugs at my heart. I care and laugh and cry because of livejournal, every single day. It's a community, filled with joy and fights and life. It's such a well-named website, because livejournal is a place where I have found so much life, where so many people are living and doing so much more than just surviving. Livejournal is where I go to... just realize how amazing and fantastic people can be.

Sammy

Which? You choose. Or all Sammies!

You're pretty awesome, yo.

Sammy!

I shall love on my most amazing dog. I have a dog! And he is a lap dog and a sweetheart and he licks my hand to let me know that he needs me to wake up, like he knows that I'd much prefer that to him making noise. And he radiates fun and love and he's so bouncy and wonderful and yay! Dog! I could not have gotten a more perfect one had I been allowed to lay down the specifications myself. It is in these intersections -- getting Sammy, finding livejournal, finding a friend like you -- that I most feel the power of the guiding force of love that surrounds me. It is these interactions that I feel the hand of God, helping to find all the things I need most.

And thank you.

*hugs*

I haven't played on the love-meme, but I'm not surprised at all you were there. You deserve lotsa love!

[butterfly.livejournal.com]

Aw. Thank you!

Cake!

[butterfly.livejournal.com]

Cake is the king of desserts! It has so much variety, so many ways to customize it until it is perfect for each individual person. You can eat cake with ice cream or alone, frosted or plain, have vanilla or chocolate -- dye the whole thing red and call it red velvet. The possibilities are endless and, thus, so is the love.

Winter?

[butterfly.livejournal.com]

The crisp feel of the air in the morning, the feeling of a snowflake against my tongue, bundling up and looking around at a world that moves more slowly against the cold... winter is a fine season, indeed, and very worth being loved.

I am a big lurker but I always read your entries because you're an incredibly hopeful person and it just shines in your posts, which makes me happy. Also, your videos and fandom views have so much thought and feeling behind them that it floors me with awesome. I'm going to try and comment more frequently because... commenting is love? :)

Things to love... Arrested Development and the oh so dodgy familial relationships. :)

ceridwen_amyed somes it up!

We live in times we're negativety is loved waaaay too much. So much of any fandoms, to be fair, are infected with groups of overly vocal trolls and people who just plain seem to have more interest in finding negative point scoreing debate in everything and character bashing then actually attempting to invest in any real passion in characters or making the slightest attempt to be broadminded on anything.

So people like you Butterfly stand out, because you send out such a positive message in the face of anything. Even characters you'll never be a diehard fan of, you've not just blindly condemed them at every opertuntie. You've always tried your best to see the good in even them, if it's been possible to do so from the best of your abilitie. Thats such an admirable thing in this day and age. Some people always struggle to try to be objective in anyway and have to take sides in a weirdly intense way, yet you've refused to bow to that. Even those who inevitably will never agree with you on certain things, have respect for your kind of passion as a result.

So this place is also a great safe haven from the dark side of the Internet and I can't thank you enough for that.

All hail Queen Butterfly, long may you regin!
