Narrative:
While landing at lvk, I misjudged the crosswind component and touched down in a slightly crabbed position. I was unable to keep the plane on the runway and consequently crossed a grass divider that separated runway 7L from the taxiway. I contacted ground when told to do so by tower and taxied to parking. There was no damage to the aircraft or to lights, signs or anything else.
