Whoa, Sparky, good for you.
Europe has so much more history behind it's institutions.
Y'all see the man hanging out of the spaceship with the really big gun? Now I'm not saying you weren't easy to find. It was kinda out of our way, and he didn't want to come in the first place. Man's lookin' to kill some folk. So really it's his will y'all should worry about thwarting.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

It's nice to see some brave pretenders trying to make it interesting.
Indeed, Sparky! Congratulations. Seems very exciting!

How long is the course?
It's a week long course, 4 hours a day to the LLM students.
It's a perquisite that comes with my job, and one of the reasons I took it. Theoretically, I can teach there every year and I get a free ticket to Europe, apartment for the week, and a stipend to do so. My DH and I have to decide when he might come over, and where we might go from there. Unfortunately, since it is in the middle of my semester here, I can't be gone traveling as long as I'd like.

"Fuck Western ideologically-motivated gender identification!" Sulu gasped, and came.
For years, my mother though LOL stood for "Lots of love" because it seemed to be used as a sign-off.
Oh, my Mum believes it still. Despite gentle attempts to explain that it is not so. This does not annoy me in the manner of LOLspeak, since it's (a) my Mum, and (b) she thinks it's an acronym, not a giggle or a flinch.
I've definitely read people writing "I less than three such-and-such" before - probably over at LJ. And I confess, I really like that. Which is perhaps hypocricy - but I've a weakness for geekly shibboleths, or at least the ones that I get, and it's wordplay. I enjoy the occasional use of "I heart such-and-such" and I like the way that someone turned this up to eleven. Bless.

Well, at least I got a good night's sleep. We love you NyQuil, you giant fucking Q!
Oh, I'm so glad! You feel better, and Maria too! This has been such a bad ick year.
Ok. I'm gonna bitchslap one of my tutoring students. I met him yesterday in his prof's office. We set up an appointment for Monday at 10:30 a.m. He just e-mailed me to apologize for not making our meeting this morning. Apparently, he got busy and is starving and needs to get food, you know.
I e-mailed him back and let him know that our appointment was actually for Monday, so we should meet then. But, um, the above are not appropriate reasons for just not showing up to tutoring. He better show up on Monday!

Sox, why don't you post in lj if you're not comfortable doing so on this board?
