My tale of Nilly would be to shake my head at how she's much too nice for krav, and how I absolutely should have known it. I've never had to imagine someone's face on the target to hit it hard, because just hitting is a joy. But if I had to, I certainly could.

Nilly? She said there was a two day period (quite a while back, it sounded like) where she could have imagined a face, but right then, she had nothing. And didn't want to hit Polgara, because Polgara was nice. No matter how much trash I talked, Polgara remained too nice to hit. Just weird.

So sweet, so excited, and despite the whole "hurt people? why?" angle, she enjoyed herself. Very little self-consciousness, much enthusiasm and joy.

She also lies, lies up a storm, because she spent a lot of time complimenting my Hebrew pronunciation. Still, it's for a good cause (my ego), even if I can only remember the one word.

Wails.

She is probably boarding by now, isn't she?

Goodbye, Nilly. Safe travels to you. We miss you so much, already.

Nilly is a really good complimenter.

Nilly is a really good complimenter.

Indeed she is.

Fights urge to drive to the beach and wave at the sky as Nilly flies away.

Nilly is a really good complimenter.

I don't think I got any compliments. But I got about three thousand "Thank you"s. Nilly is a really good thanker.

(Sniff) Bye Nilly! Thank you for visiting us and making us all happy.

And one of the world's best huggers.

Come back soon, Nilly!!! You have so many more states to visit!

She said, "you're exactly the way i imagined." I've no idea if that's a compliment. People usually think I'm going to be much taller.

I'm sure it's a compliment, Allyson.

Nilly! Don't go! We haven't had nearly enough Nilly.
