A thread on the MSA Invision board just reminded me of just how much the whole MSA thing changed my life. Perhaps it's just a resting-on-my-laurels sort of joy, but thinking about the academy really does make me feel something like joyous. [looks at new vixen boots, thinks about MSA, and is gloriously happy in a way that can probably only occur at about 4 a.m.]
