Yay Nilly!!! I'm guessing you have your doctorate, even though I couldn't see the Flikr page.
Oh msbelle. I hope things resolve quickly.
Happy Canada Day right back. It's grey and rainy, so it may be an indoor kind of holiday. I've been off work since Friday, so it's been an extended little vacation for me.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
Still waiting, but I think his anger is waning. The worst that happened is a recorder got blown very loudly and a napkin got thrown at me- it was thrown with a lot of force, but alas a napkin, so no damage - kinda like screaming FUDGE YOU! At someone.

“Not dead yet!”
Oh MY! Yay, Dr. NILLY!! What a TREMENDOUS accomplishment-- you should bask and bask and bask.
Happy Canada Day!
And belle, sorry the boy is being... a boy.

Happy Canada Day to all who celebrate it!
I'm working from home today. Much as I like most of my coworkers, this is a treat.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Also, great to see your family (since we've heard stories) and BOYFRIEND!
I cannot believe we missed out on this story! I mean, the one that led to the boyfriend. Also, has Tal posted here? I feel like she's familiar.
Ugh, msbelle, I hope mac gets his act together soon.

I think Tal was the friend who was monitoring the board during Nilly's Stateside journey in order to assess the level of axe-murderousness happening.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
Congratulations, Doctor Nilly!
So, this boyfriend...I remember ages ago, when you were showing off the splendid Simpsons head covering you made for a wedding, you mentioning that you had finished it all in a rush, putting the final touches on it while on a second date, but that the date didn't seem to mind and thought it was neat. And I thought, "Huh. Second date. Likes Nilly being just Nilly. Huh." Is this him, or another wise and very fortunate man?
But, holy cow, you're a Doctor of Philosophy! With a lovely loving family and a robe with velvet armbands and a beautiful bilingual certificate and everything! SO AMAZING AND WONDERFUL.
