Shir, wishing you all the best with the house stuff. It sounds really stressful.
Aims, your friends are clearly idiots. Stealing a name is very un-classy. My sister didn't ever tell anyone her proposed name for her first daughter until Flo was born. Similarly, only The Girl knows what I would call a child in the alternate dimension in which I wanted to have one. People are so stupid. Use the name anyway.
Hil, have you trapped a nerve by subluxing a joint? I do that a lot. My only solution is subluxing it again, i.e. messing with it beyond the range of motion that the joint is supposed to have (I presume that, like me, you can put your joints in all sorts of weird contortionist positions).
Shout at me if you see me around here too much this week. I am incapable of working without deadlines, so The Girl has given me one: if I don't write my 2000-word literature review by midnight on Thursday, I get no American TV for a month. The thought of being four episodes behind on How I Met Your Mother is definitely spurring me on.
