sj, glad to hear it.
We started considering the original family name, and it worked. We both feel completely right about it. It's so exciting.
I like that story.
How did your brain even learn human speech? I'm just so curious.

[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.

That's a wonderful story.
Why is it when a repair man is around the thing that was broken stops acting broken?

"We're all stories, in the end. Just make it a good one, eh?"
"Don't tell me she's going to be 'Noble-Temple'?!"
Heh. Yes. That. (We both have surnames with two syllables. Four-syllable double-barrelled names sound odd.)
Plus, as my friend said on Facebook today: "I'm sick of the double-barrelling. It's turning into the hippie gay Christian marrieds' badge of honour." And then he went on to suggest all manner of English names that are pronounced oddly. Like Leveson-Gower, pronounced loosen-gor. And Featherstonehaugh - go on, guess how that's pronounced in upper class circles.

I got a raise! And a promotion! I knew the former was coming (though not the amount), but not the latter.
I'm also starting to get survivor's guilt, what with all the very good people we lost in the last round of layoffs. Or more of it. I was already feeling survivor's guilt the last month.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Woot! MANY congrats!
FEStonhaw?
Nope.
Furston?
Nope. That would make sense.
