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.
