I haven't done a meme in a while, and since I'm feeling rather crappy today--a combination of my sister leaving, PMS, and having run entirely too many warrants this morning--
{{{many hugs}}} I can't even begin to imagine how affected you must be by your sister's leaving. And the other nasty stuff certainly can't make you feel any better. I do hope that this interesting meme did, however.
And she was originally thinking of F! How easy that would have been!
*whistles innocently*
Wants F.
Ocean. When I first read of the notion of sea-longing, I understood it immediately, for I have had it all of my life. There are few things better than seeing the ocean; the roar of the waves prod my inspiration and the scent of salty air at once takes me back to childhood and awakens dreams of the future.
*sigh*
You are absolutely right and you've got such an artistic way to say it... I used to have quite the sea/ocean longing, but it seems to have been slowly replaced by a mountains longing, in my case.
Incidentally, an opal figures prominently in the series of stories that contain AMC. Those of you who have read AMC might remember that Feanor gave Maglor a mithril pendant set with a fire opal. This artifact will appear in each story throughout the series, in various contexts, and is probably the most personally significant of any artifact in these stories to me. (If you want to know why, you'll have to read the stories to find out!)
Hmm... I remember Macalaure's pendant, but I had no idea that the item carries such significance. I'll keep a sharp eye to see where you mention it in your work. Besides, I'd have assumed that you'd be 'giving' Nelyo something of personal and sentimental value. ;)
Online. One of my favorite hobbies is the stuff I get up to online: fanfic, chatting, web design, RPGs. It's a chance to step away from the real world for a minute and a chance to learn something new at every turn. And I've met some truly wonderful friends, too, so I never travel alone.
Amen to that! I've found some of the nicest people I know, online and it's the perfect way of putting RL on hold, in favor of some interesting and entertaining experiences.

Will you give me a letter, pretty please?
