You know one person who doesn't react to lavender as they should. C'est moi - it gives me a heddake. Go figure.
Am arguing for lilac bushes for the garden (remember what the Orcs did to the ones in TH!), but we were flummoxed last year by our inability to find same under 'l' in garden centre. Apparently 'lilac' is technically 'syringa'. Who knew?
Xena - fannish element #1; Xander - fannish element #2, and that is the extent of my knowledge of fannish Xs. No, wait! - X-Men, The - although I have only seen the fillums, but that Hugh Jackman's a bit of all right, like whoa, and that means: Xavier, Professor - which should be pronounced 'Zavier' not 'Ex-avier'. By that logic, we could count in X-calibur; X-box - I've never actually seen one of these, but they are v popular amongst young people, I am told; X-rays - everyone's had a few; and there is X-ray vision, which Superman has; Xenophobia - everyone has a bit of this, too, but mostly we lie about it; Xenogamy - cross-species pollination. I'm sure this could have a fannish or at least a science fictional application. Jack Cohen could probably supply details. Rather too many details, I suspect; Xylocarp - YES I AM READING THE DICTIONARY, DON'T JUDGE ME - a woody fruit. Name one! (Errrr ... the coconut. Yes.

How are the mighty fallen? That's how completely I had forgotten The X-Files, which we watched so faithfully for so many years. There was also a show called Mutant X, but it was crap and we can continue to forget it.
Alas, Mr. Bowie will have to wait. I'm taking the opportunity while my beloved is sleeping in to commit ficly smut. My first ever G/Olivia! It's turning out rather deliciously.

As to the L list, such a delight. Languid is definitely the word for feline repose.
Now excuse me...I think Nanny Ogg has gotten into L Space, and that's a terrifying prospect for everyone.
