Thanks! I'll be a lecturer but it's going to be a small group of students so hopefully I can find a good way to get everybody involved in the discussion :-)

This article couldn't have come at a better time - I'm starting a part-time teaching gig soon. This is a totally new thing for me and I'm super excited about it, but getting more freaked out the more I think about it!

I was going to say the exact same thing. She looks terrific. May she have many happy and healthy years :-)

Seconded. That would be particularly awesome at work.

This is awesome. You go, girl! I have a feeling we're going to see great things from this kid someday. That said, she makes me feel like an underachieving sloth. Off to the lab I go!

Exactly! A house or a really kickass honeymoon :-)

That's exactly mine too! Except Hawaii instead of OBX, and a priest (Catholic or non-denominational) insetad of Justice of the Peace. Something simple sounds a lot better than stressing out over every last detail.

Fuck that guy. I'd like to introduce my boot to his ass.

"BARROWMAN!" *shakes fist*

Damn you New Zealand sauv blanc. You are so tasty. Why do I always drink too much of you?

OMG I love Gotye. I need to go listen to Like Drawing Blood now.

I'm insanely embarrassed to admit this, but does anyone remember SeaQuest? Yep, this nerdy 10-year old was in love with Jonathan Brandis. I too had mad crushes on Noah Wyle and David Duchovny.

Thank you for sharing your wonderful news! So happy for you :-)

My dog is redonkulously cute. Earlier today, I gave her some baked chicken I made the other day as a treat. Apparently, it was the best thing she'd ever tasted in her little doggie life, judging by the wagging tail and back feet tapping on the floor while she ate.

"Hexagons"?! What's next, "Crunchy Buckyballs"? :-)

Ok so I already commented in this thread, but y'all, I have a new favorite word: BRAINBONER.

Aw, thanks! Same to you :)

Universe, y u keep trolling me?! This is pretty much how my entire week has been going.

Oh my God. 7 years away from my hometown and apparently nothing has changed :-)

Awesome, so the dry-skinned/dark-circled/sleep-deprived hot mess look is a thing now? Got that covered.
