I am gainfully employed once again, folks!  It looks like I'll be teaching 7th grade Reading, so any thoughts on classroom management  and prayers you may have, do send them my way.

Also, what about your 7th grade RDG teacher?  Did you hate the class?  Love it?  Please tell me!

So, several years ago while on a date, I was taken to the opera, which turned out to be one of Wagner's Ring Trilogy, and I can't exactly say that I had a blast, but I later found out that that was perhaps not the best first opera to see...   But, I decided to give it another go, and tonight I saw  "Lucia Di Lammermoor", which was adapted from Sir ( Read more... )

So, me and nine other girls dressed up like we would never otherwise dress up (read:  quite slutty and way overdone for a suburban multiplex at 11:00 at night)  and had a SATC movie party!  Oh my, we were quite the girls behaving badly and I wonder if all the martinis we swilled at the pre-movie party had anything to do with this...

Have you ever walked up to a mirror, and wondered (just for a split second) why your mom is in the reflection, staring back at you?

It's official, I'm old.

 OMG!  Please to be stopping me!  I'm now obessing about Rhett Butler (my new dream man), and I'm now joining  facebook groups about him (Where the Hell is My Rhett Butler, Bring Back Real Men!).    I'm also searching ff.net for GWTW fic.

HELP!!!!!  Your thoughts and prayers would be greatly appreciated!

Please to be stopping your shooting rampages of late.

Seriously, every fucking time I open a web browser, I'm informed of a new shooting.  It's really embarrassing, so if you could stop doing that, it would be fabulous.  While we all complain of how our Prez has ruined the global image of Americans (it's true, he has), you are not ( Read more... )

 Methinks I'm tired of everything and I just wanna come home.

I never thought I'd say this, but I miss America.
