Cons are for Falling In Love

And so here's my list--I love:

Suzette Haden Elgin or [profile] ozarque: "I have a husband who's so sight-oriented he has to put on his glasses to listen to a casette tape!"

Honorary Mentions:
 Beverly Hale ([profile] bevhale), Ilona Andrews ([profile] ilona_andrews), for being the kind of people who are just funny no matter what they say--I like to laugh!
Cedric playing violin with Queen's Gambit
Queen's Gambit
Elspeth Bloodgood, for being at least humorously cool under fire, and nice to me for reasons obscure and unfounded.

If there's seems a preponderance (I'm not sure that's a word, or even the word I'm looking for) of females, that's because cool geek women are cooler than you. I mean, unless you are a cool geek woman. Which is kinda my crowd, so you probably are.

[Note: The cool geek men are already married.]

Oh, and I can't read these, but Jeaniene Frost's Night Huntress series have the most pretty but grounded covers ever. So gorgeous.

I'll check in with more Poisson later.

*grins*

It was lovely to see you again.

And you rocked the hats ever so much.

Hats are my friends. I used to hate them with inordinate passion, but then someone talked me into buying a newsie hat and the rest is history. I think I like to have people comment on something I've chosen, rather than things that come to me naturally.
(Hair. Singing. Blushes.)

I particularly like the top-hat double-takes--and I do the same when anyone else wears one. We need to bring them back...

It was great to see you, too! And feeling like I know people was wicked awesome. ^_^

I did pass the name of your livejournal on to Amanda Gannon (aka [livejournal.com profile] naamah_darling), so if she adds you, that is who that is.

And I 100% agree on the top-hats. I'm seriously thinking of creating a steampunk type outfit for next year, and there must definitely be a top-hat with it.

I was just thinking about the steam-punk potential of top-hats! I hope you do, and I get to see it...
