How Do I Love Thee? Like Crispy, Crispy Bacon

Just in time for Valentine's day, Paperwhite Studio, which is run by Laureen Moyal and Yuliya Gorlovetsky, presents I Love You More Than..., an online project to determine how we calibrate love. According to the website:

“i love you more than ‘blank’. ” is a little project with a big heart. We believe that you can never really evaluate the value of something unless you measure it up to something else, so we wanted to ask people : What do you use as a measuring stick for love? Now we are getting answers from far and wide about the things people love in second place to the apple of their eye, whether that be a friend, a pet, a significant other… and we are sharing them with you.

Submissions run from the humorous (I love you more than an excellent score from craigslist ...I love you more than discovering that I actually do have a pen with me) to the worrisome (I love you more than kinda sorta stalking you ...I love you more than all the drugs in the world) to the maudlin (I love you more than you love me ...I love you more than I’m allowed to say).

Here at LAist we love our readers more than we love bacon. And that's really saying something.

Submit your own love.
