Who'll answer? I guess we'll find out...
Ask me 4 questions....Any 4, no matter how personal, private or random.

I have to answer them honestly. I have to answer them all. I MIGHT not answer them publicly, though.

In turn, you post this message in your own journal and you have to answer the questions that are asked of you.

Uh, so,

1) How's it going?
2) You're graduating this year, right? What are your plans for what's next?
3) You still playing a lot of magic?
4) Are you as excited about the upcoming Sin City movie as I am? (Yeah this is totally random and I just ran out of ideas.)

Yeah, so, totally out of the blue, I know.

1. Its going really well. I am very happy with my life right now. Things have calmed down.
2. I finish classes this semester. I don't technacly graduate until I finish student teaching (which I am doing in the fall). Cayce and I plan on moving up to the central Mass area, and I am going to teach at Parker.
3. I play Magic a lot still, but haven't played a game in 2 months due to time constrants. I have made it a personal goal to get onto the Pro Tour in the near future though.
4. I didn't even know that they were making a Sin City move, so No.

re2) Haha no way, Parker? That's awesome. I don't even know if I know anybody there anymore. I worked with Peter Garbus over at his new charter school in Fitchburg the summer before I started here though. What are you teaching? I'm going to guess MST based on what can only be called vague memories. What's the student teaching requirement, exactly?

re3) I sympathize with the time constraints thing. I mean, I have no idea what the reasons are for you, and I suspect you have no idea for me, but, suffice it to say, sometimes it feels like there's never enough time. I'm curious, is/was there a shop somewhere you frequent? What are your thoughts on that whole MTG online thing? I understand it is/was pretty popular?

Yeah, Parker happens. Cayce doesn't exactly what I mean when I say that "Mass is cold." Anything around 30 or 40 and she's bundled up. I think the strangest thing about going back to Parker is that I was friends with some of the Div I kids when I was at the end of Div III. Yes, I am going back for Div III MST with a double major in Math and Education and a minor in Outdoor Leadership (being a pro Boy Scout basicly). Some of the people I knew my last year at Parker are going to end up in my class... which is going to make the whole seperation btwn student/teacher really hard. "I am not your friend" is going to be my saving line.

As for Magic, I mostly have been playing with theory and stratagy for the past couple months. With nobody to play (or time to) for 2 months its all I can do. I have been playing at The Sword and the Grail. I have been friends with the owner since he opened (or a couple months before actually). I have an online account, but I feel that its too impersonal, and you miss too many subtle "tells" (Ask

I suspect you'll manage the student/teacher relationships just fine. I mean, I know at Bromfield while I was there, there was this woman who came back right out of college to teach Algebra II and she knew a bunch of the upperclassmen at the time but seemed to manage all right.

Poker is the hip thing with the kids these days. I'd be lying if I said I don't play at least a little. Though I'm pretty bad at personal things like tells and so tend to try to rely on solid play instead, if I can. I haven't actually been in contact with Vick, and at this point wouldn't even know how to get in touch.

Where is Cayce from? I ask because I certainly know what you mean, with all these people from places like Florida or Southern California or wherever that's South, and they start wearing these huge parkas when it drops below 50 and I'm still wearing sandals because I dislike socks so much.
