Pretty cool except for the part where I was really terrified and now my knees are all dizzy.

Thrive to spite them

My high school is actually a K-12 school that's part of the University's college of education, it's a public school, but you apply and they look for a specific demographic breakdown.

Which is (for the entire school) Gender
50.4% Female
49.6% Male

Ethnicity
58.53% White
24.32% African-American
9.75% Hispanic
2.12% Asian
.75% Native American Indian
4.50% Multicultural

Free and Reduced Lunch
Elementary 24.1%
Middle 20.9%
High 10.9%

oh! They have an Anime Club.

What is even happening?

Here's our town's high school enrollment by Race/Ethnicity

American Indian/Alaskan Native: 1
Asian/Pacific Islander: 9
Hispanic:18
Black, non-Hispanic: 16
White, non-Hispanic: 951
Total students: 995

Our elementary school:

Hispanic: 2
Black, non-Hispanic: 2
White, non-Hispanic: 171

I think that last data set (which came from another page) might be from two of years ago, because I know that at least for one grade, the total number of students is quite wrong.

Our locale is characterized as "Urban Fringe of Large City"

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

Man, that author owes me royalties....

Does the book also define 'Bumfriend'?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

that author owes me royalties....

You were the first person I thought of when I read it.

Okay, I'm sitting at home waiting for a guy to call me...so I can go spar some tired people. Is this something wrong with my life, or something right?

Hmm. Either way, I hate the waiting. I'm killing time by watching Hex. Small blonde high school girl fated to save the world, and a lesbian best friend with otherworldly powers. I don't think the show's much like Buffy, but it'd take a Herculean effort to not compare the two in a short review.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I just have to share my OMG awesome dinner tonight, only partly for Burrell's benefit: Blueberry clafouti and chicken salad with avocado, both of which I made myself! OK, each thing only took five minutes to throw together (leftover chicken), but YUM.

The clafouti is really mostly egg. That makes it appropriate breakfast food, right?

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

What is clafouti?

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

I've been trying to track down my friend Daniel Patrick Duffy. He's from Boston. Wish me luck, dude.

I should go look at my HS, it was whitey-white land (catholics, protestants AND jews) with fifteen hispanic kids who snuck in somehow.

Clafouti is like a fruit pudding kind of thing, typically cherry. Here's a recipe (not the one I used): [link]

That sounds good. What recipe did you use?

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

At the time I was attened, my school had no hispanics, 5 asians (4 were church refugees from Laos), 3 black people (2 were mentally challenged students adopted by a family with 15 mentally challenged adopted kids) and 1 jewish person. And it was Catholic enough that people got out of school for 2 hours on Tuesdays to go to "church school",

ETA: the 1 remaining asian, 1 remaining black person were both from interracial marriages, weirdly...
