Holy Crap
So I went to a huge job fair yesterday and talked to a million people. Many of them seemed genuinely interested in me (including a district in NJ, Starting salary: 51k), so maybe I'll have a job soon. Conducting all of those interviews made me remember just how much I want to teach. I CAN'T WAIT TO HAVE MY OWN STUDENTS!!! Anywho, with the new stuff from the job fair, I think I've got a list of about 10 places in 4 states that may actually want to hire me. Yay for life starting!
Amanda is so fantastic. She bought ME flowers! In what other sort of fantasy world does that happen? She is a truly excellent person and makes me happier than she will ever know.
Anyways, I know I've done nothing but talk about how awesome I am for a couple months now, so to break the monotony...
Whats on your mind?
Let's See... Amanda, getting a job, doing all the crap I still have to do to get certified, finishing my chapter for publication, finishing my math research for publication, finishing my research papers for nuclear technology and world music, the two plays I'm in, the GCC concert, the DTO concert, the Four Scores Concert, Senior week, Graduation, seeing my dad and grandpa, and tons of other stuff. This is going to be one hell of a month.
Can you execute an acceptable cartwheel?
Probably, but I'd be too chicken to try without a few beers in me.

Mom's oatmeal raisin cookies are tiny bits of god!
What's your screen name?

Walking into a party, what's the first thing you notice?
Music. I gots to get my groove on, bitches!

Nuclear Weapons and Technology. Scary stuff
You've just won a free vacation to either South America or North Korea?
Let's see, ticking nuclear time bomb... or good coffee and bikinis...
Kiss on the first date?
at least
Does it count as a date if there's no kiss?

Would you rather have chicken or steak?
Is that even a fucking question!?! RED MEAT, you electronic ignorant fuck!
Who was the last person you took a picture with?
Manzors and I played on the Macintosh
Who was the last baby you held?
My baby. *gags on his own cute*
Would you ever donate blood?
I despise needles, and the sight of blood (although not really my own), so unless someone I love very much really needs a transfusion, I'll say no.
How many snack machines are in your school?
At gettysburg... probably in the neighborhood of 20?
Have you ever felt replaced?
I guess I've been replaced, but I haven't really felt anything about that.

No, but we have enough guns that there should be.
Do you believe in karma?
I don't think I've done enough good to deserve my present situation, but yes.

I don't think the things I usually say count as "jokes" but I'm pretty funny sometimes...

Only on my county road.
Do you wish you had smaller feet?
That would look a little ridiculous in the context of the rest of me.

A couple.

What were you doing at 10AM??
Stumbling to class, where I apparently had an exam. SHIT!
Are you different now than you were six months ago?
Let's see, I was student teaching my ass off, lonely and depressed. I'd say I'm changed for the better.
A fact about the person you like?
She is terrified of pennies and makes noises like a Guinea pig when she's congested. Also she is outrageously attractive and I love her.

Are you wearing anything you borrowed from someone?
Few people I know could lend me something that would fit.
Something you just don't understand?
