and like always, I'm super behind on the flist...
+ Let's do a meme stolen from maerhys a couple of weeks ago and tweaked.
Comment to this entry and I will reply with an icon that reminds me of you, something I ♥ about you, and one of my favorite memories of you
+ I want to be Amy Farrah Fowler's bestie. She is one of my favorite things to happen to Big Bang Theory. Seriously. She makes me laugh so damn hard. I absolutely adore her and yay writers for including her. She's made of all sorts of awesome, no joke.

Recently, in a large city in Australia , a poster featuring a young, thin and tan woman appeared in the window of a gym. It said, "This summer, do you want to be a mermaid or a whale?"
A middle-aged woman, whose physical characteristics did not match those of the woman on the poster, responded publicly to the question posed by the gym.
To Whom It May Concern,
Whales are always surrounded by friends (dolphins, sea lions, curious humans.)
They have an active sex life, get pregnant and have adorable baby whales. They have a wonderful time with dolphins stuffing themselves with shrimp. They play and swim in the seas, seeing wonderful places like Patagonia , the Bering Sea and the coral reefs of Polynesia . Whales are wonderful singers and have even recorded CDs. They are incredible creatures and virtually have no predators other than humans. They are loved, protected and admired by almost everyone in the world.
Mermaids don't exist. If they did exist, they would be lining up outside the offices
of Argentinean psychoanalysts due to identity crisis. Fish or human? They don't have a sex life because they kill men who get close to them, not to mention how could they have sex? Just look at them ... where is IT? Therefore, they don't have kids either..
Not to mention, who wants to get close to a girl who smells like a fish store?
The choice is perfectly clear to me: I want to be a whale.
P..S. We are in an age when media puts into our heads the idea that only skinny people are beautiful, but I prefer to enjoy an ice cream with my kids, a good dinner with a man who makes me shiver, and a glass of wine with my friends. With time, we gain weight
because we accumulate so much information and wisdom in our heads that when there is no more room, it distributes out to the rest of our bodies. So we aren't heavy, we are enormously cultured, educated and happy. Beginning today, when I look at my butt in the mirror I will think, ¨Good grief, look how smart I am!¨
+ Substituting highlights: I was at a two day assignment last week and it was Teacher Appreciation Week. The first day went fine. The second day, this girl comes to my class and gives me a box of chocolates. I assume it's for her regular teacher who she won't see until the following week and I tell her I'll keep it for her. She shakes her head and says it's for me. THEN the kids wanted me to eat lunch with them (I found out all the hot gossip haha). And they call went to their other teachers and told them I was their favorite sub. Friday was a good day. It's days like those, I'm thankful to be around kids. (They were fifth graders btw)
+ Time for The Voice! An awesome show, seriously. Blake, Adam, Cee Lo, and Christina are so much fun! (Esp. Blake and Adam as matalinolukaret, dugindeep, and kelleigh can testify haha)
