Okay... so any of you who have gotten to know me on LJ have heard me talk about the Academic Husband. But who is he? Other than being an amazing person who puts up with me beyond all bounds of reason and/or patience, he's brilliant, sexy (biased, who cares) and an absolute creative freak of nature. All the boys in his shared office at University decided that they needed to have bio's on their door that had nothing to do with reality.
