Yes, it's terribly simple. The good guys are always stalwart and true, the bad guys are easily distinguished by their pointy horns or black hats, and, uh, we always defeat them and save the day. No one ever dies, and everybody lives happily ever after.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

Billions of congratulations, Nilly! I'm totally weepy with excitement and joy for you, the Khusband, and the second-luckiest almost-baby in the world (Jessica's has precedence, but once she emerges and cedes her almost-crown for an actual, the almost- goes straight to your boy).

You're going to be an amazing parent. And I can't wait to read your spicy Nillybrain thoughts on that amazement. If you could make us all gasp and blub over a single episode of Firefly, I cannot imagine where your mind and heart and words will take us all when you're watching a tiny human discover the entire universe. (Not that there's any pressure on you -- seriously, all you have to do is be Nilly and that's enough.)

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Thank you!!

Now tagless for your comfort.

If you ask me again this year, um, my answer will be a bit different (though, um, how shall I put it, not less with the Jewish-mommy part, in a sense).

AWESOME NILLY NEWS!!!! YAY! Congratulations to you and khusband!

Nilly!!! YAY!!!!

Perfect. I don't think I need to point out to you that 3/14 also adds up to 17.

This is kinda awesome. And if it isn't Pi day (mmmm, Pi), may it be the 17th.

My sister just texted me asking to buy my 11yo nephew a Kindle.

Want to buy the sony e-reader that my mother bought me for Christmas last year that I've never taken out of the box?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I am first in line, though, msbelle. I mean, after family.

God, I want that thing so bad. So bad I'm not even gonna adverb.
