I can't imagine a better proposal, a better community, or a better husband-to-be. Yay!
You realize now the two of you have to adopt all of us, right?
My work's illegal, but at least it's honest.

[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.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
Thanks for your POV narrative, Kristin. All of this definitely needs to be memorialized. I'm sure that I'm not the only person who occasionally needs to be able to go back and read absolutely wonderful bits of life to make up for the utter crap that happens ordinarily - and y'all's happiness is definitely likely to be a powerful antidote to a lot of badness.

"We're all stories, in the end. Just make it a good one, eh?"
Shir, I lost my grampy (my favourite person in the universe) a few years ago. It sucks. Eat brownies. I hope you managed to figure out a solution for your eyes.
Kristin, that story of your version of events was fab. As is your new tagline.
ION: I AM DONE!
I have, after two weeks of hell, finished the final bloody paper for my bloody MA in bloody Disability Studies. While I'm not quite qualified-for-nothing yet, as I have a dissertation to write, I am now officially nearly there. Hurrah.
And then the panic over PhD funding can recommence (if I do OK on the papers, which I won't know about for a while yet). Also figuring out what I'm doing with my life for the next year, assuming I don't get funded yet (the economy is making a big mess of university funding over here). Also, driving home for five hours and seeing if I can get there in time to catch The Girl's latest play. Also, since I've barely eaten in two weeks, food might be a good idea at some point...

{{{Shir}}} I'm so sorry for your loss.
Kristin, that's a great story! Congrats again.

Hey. New board.
I go away for a few days and miss all manner of Important Events.
Congratulations, ND and Kristin! That's an adorable story, with a very happy outcome, and I'm very happy for all concerned.
I'm sorry for your loss, Shir.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Shir, I'm sorry for your loss.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
Oh Shir, I am so so sorry. Losing grandparents (well, anyone) is awful. {{{HUGS}}}

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
Oh, Shir. I'm so sorry. Much strength to you.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
Shir, my condolences on your loss. I'm glad your roommate was there to help you.
