Hi, Irma! Always nice to have another English lit person around here (my English lit grad program didn't have any cinema studies courses  :( - lucky you!), and of course, any friend of face's is extra nice.  :)

roujin, you're teasing us . . . come on!  :)

Thanks for the warm welcomes everyone!!

Yay for English!!

And partner....well in crime usually but it also means we're in a relationship. And yes, we do run the Internet (little known fact)

Ryan, I use the term partner in the same way.  I actually tend to prefer to use the person's name, as the idea of someone being my partner still smacks of a possessiveness that I am uncomfortable with - they certainly are not mine - not to mention the awkwardness of having to say "one of my partners" when the good fortune of multiple partners is going on  :)
But I wish the public could, in the midst of its pleasures, see how blatantly it is being spoon-fed, and ask for slightly better dreams.

I feel much the same way. Now that she more thoroughly exists for all of you, you'll see the name "Cait" bandied about quite often.
