(I hope I'm doing this right). The letter "L" and me.

The letter "L" inspires positive associations. There's: libidinous, like, lust, lick, love, loose, lull, linked, and, (at last) leave. I guess "limp" works in there, too. "L" isn't a bad letter to have to animate. A capital "L" would be the mode I'd choose to mess with, as in this font, and in many others, a lower case "l" looks like a "1" or a capital "I", or just a stupid line. A capital "L" could fly around the screen like a boomerang, or be made by two converging lines that fade away, only to leave the "L", or two "L"'s could act like legs. In a pinch, I suppose a lower case "l" could pierce a line and rise up, or a capital "L" could shrink and the lower bar could turn green and fall away. All in all, the "L" is luscious.
