The first time I met Maria, she hid under the table....

The first time I met theotoky, who I originally knew from online, we had lunch in cafe in Union Square. Towards the end of the meal her cellphone rang, and as she answered it I watched her shrink and cringe away from me and everyone until she was half hiding under the table at the cafe we were at

This is a fantastic idea. Thank you for being a positive inspiration to so many.

Okay, you made me cry and laugh and knowing what she's gone through (and me for that matter), if I can offer to write a piece of fan fiction that will help get her graduated, I will. Just let me know what I need to do.

Thank you! Join the community at graduate_maria and check out the post about how to offer (some friends of ours will be puttinng up posts soon so you'll see some in action) and that's that for now! And of course, any signal boosting you can do would be awesome.

Yup - I chipped in for Deb's Liver Lovers as well.

Which was awesome! You were an early adopter there, too, as I recall. :)

I'm just finishing up a pair of socks and am plotting new knitting projects. I will definitely put something up for auction.
