BONUS BONUS SONNET: In Which I Celebrate Noisily With Nicole

Nicole Gugliucci, you are so much fun

To tweet with and geek out and color blue

The jargon of your trade; you are the one

I think of first when my mind wanders to

How black holes might be misconstrued or if

Flamsteed got lonely late at night. Then there's

Your cuteness with your geeky boyfriend, Tim,

Whose geekhenge grows and obviously cares

About the same stuff we do. I'd keep him

Were I you. How I hope someday we'll meet

And have a chance to swap strange tales and drinks

And recipes and things. It will be sweet

And possibly quite dangerous, methinks.

Until then, Happy Birthday and accept

My admiration, written while you slept.
