I spent an hour in counseling last night.  It was cool, I'm not complaining.

You know what major insight I learned?  I'm lonely when my friends don't live with me.

Durh.  You'd think I'd be in tune enough to figure that out by myself, but no.  Have to have Happy Boy guide me to it like guiding a freaking squirrel to a bag of pre-shelled nuts.  ( Read more... )

 Okay, you caught me.  Yes, I am.  Damn your intuitive eyes!

I heard fun was had by all and sundry at KWAR this weekend.  I talked to two different people about the events at the event, and got the impression that the event was opperating in two parallel dimensions, both of which were stacked to the ceiling with fun people, good fighting, and booze ( Read more... )

Things that I have wasted 3 hours of my life doing:
-getting my nails done by an honest-to-god nail artist
-making a tiny bowl out of pine needles and thread
-learning how to put on make-up at Merle Norman
-scouring the internet for photographs of Anthony Stewart Head wearing fishnets, heels, and a corset (sure, you could ask, but do you actually want ( Read more... )

Hey, you little rascal,

Well, today is Tuesday.  Tuesday is counselling day, except today my counselor is in Georgia (or some such place) and I had to counsel myself.  I did a pretty damn good job, too, if I do say so myself.  Look:

Problem:
I hate my stupid loaner gear.  Sure, it was a gas to put it on once or twice, but it makes me feel like an ( Read more... )

Hello, folks ( Read more... )

I am working on being realistic, so I will attempt to be as realistic as I know how for this report.

The worst thing that would happen to me if I lost a bout in practice is... other than the stuff that goes on in my head about embarassment and failure?  Not much, actually.  I can imagine people would point and laugh, or, heaven help me, point and ( Read more... )

Listen children to a story...

Okay, so I was wrong.  It is a cheesy song, yes.  But it is also a cool anti-war protest.  See, the mountain people have a secret treasure (which, if we were to apply it to, say, the Cold War, would be the USSR's super secret ability to kill us all, OR, if we were to apply it to the Crusades, would be the Mysteries of ( Read more... )

So, I'm in an elementary school right now.  Student teaching in second grade (which is, honestly, the coolest grade ever).  We have the perfect class, which makes it easy to teach, but hard to learn child-wrangling skills.  My teacher has decided to rectify this error by telling me stories of a class she had some year ago, with two boys named, and ( Read more... )

 Hi!

So, I'm assuming, since you're all human, you all relax at some point.

How do you do it?

I mean, I'm learning all this cool stuff about deep breathing, and tensing body part by body part until I start realizing- HEY!  Woah!  That's not tense- that's the opposite of tense!!  Wow!  I've sucessfully relaxed my right foot!

...but then I usually have ( Read more... )

Hey, so who's seen this movie?

Sure, it's got a horribly unfocused plot, unbelievable characterizations, a confused central message, strange surreal scenes, cheesy music, and bad dialogue.

But it kind of makes me want to be a teacher at a hippie school.  And Billy Jack is dead sexy.  Mmmm.  Fake dancing with snakes.  Mmmm.

I only post this because I'm ( Read more... )
