She's someone I'd like to get to know better, someone who I admire for many reasons. She's been posting here and there on this forum and in her livejournal for a while now and I want to share a few things I've learned about her:

  • She knits. Lots of stuff. For babies, Hatrack babies even.
  • She likes Harry Potter.
  • She's kind to animals. She's been known to adopt kitties and lemurs and...all sorts of sweet little furry creatures.
  • She's a Firefly fan...or a flan. [Smile] She actually made a brown coat for the Serenity premiere.
  • She's smart with computers in ways I can't possibly understand. It's what she does for a living....I think? [Wink]

I think she's a great person (What's not to like from the list above?!) and I'm impressed at the mettle with which she is crafted. She thinks of others and their feelings. She maintains an unobtrusive yet very supportive profile here on the board...and I thought she deserved hugs, good vibes, and some serious props for being the person she is.

So have at it. (((Stray))) I'm so glad you're here.

Do you mean metal? Or is that a pune or play on words? (I'm quoting Terry Pratchett.)

hm. [Smile] I guess it was a play on words.

Yay Stray!

When I was in Bloomington she took me to a cafe that has goldfish in the bathtub. Hard to get cooler than that! [Smile]

Narnia, have I ever mentioned that I love you?

And Stray as well, of course. [Smile]

This thread makes me happy.

And plaid: Did you guys go to Soma?

Stray, you're loved. But then, Narnia, so are you. [Smile]

Wow...what a way to start off my workday! Narnia, you're an amazing and wonderful person [Kiss] Thank you so much for posting this thread, and to everyone else who added their kind words. I feel all glowy now [Smile]

Seriously...y'all are just...*shakes head, smiling*

Oh, to clarify a couple points:
  • My LJ name is lemur_lady, though if you want to read it, be warned I'm going through rather a rough time right now (which makes this lovely thread all the more welcome).
  • I have never actually owned lemurs. I don't think that's legal in this country. Cats, ferrets, fish, a leopard gecko, and a dog for a while, but no primates.
  • The fish-in-the-bathtub restaurant is the Runcible Spoon, to which I compulsively drag any and all out-of-town friends who visit Bloomington.
  • I've knitted baby items for Space Opera, Mrs. M, and Jenny Gardener, and will happily knit them for any of the currently-expecting Hatrack mommies who would like something.

I love Hatrack [Big Grin]

Oh, the Runcible Spoon! Doesn't Matt O'Neal run that one? He used to own the Walden Inn, which is on the campus where I live, but my school just bought it, so I'm assuming he doesn't anymore. He's a funny guy, and most insistent that I'm Irish (even when I assure him I'm not)! [Razz]

Yeah Matt O'neal runs the Runcible Spoon, and he catered Allegra's grad party. And yes they too have fish in the bathtub.


Stray is very cool, and has been helpful a few times when I screamed with knitting problems.
