Spike's Bitches 32: I think I'm sobering up.
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.
I mean, the parents care a lot. But they also work a lot, and they rely on their kids to keep them informed, and I think in some cases the kids just didn't tell the parents.
That was me in school. Though not because I didn't want her to go, I'm sure most of them would have said some flattering, or if not, at least helpful things. I just always forgot.
I'm planning on going to Budapest next year with a friend. I've started researching, but I really need to get a passport. I almost got a free trip to NY next weekend, but that trip might be on hold. I mention this because my trip to Vegas was my first ever somewhere without family or in driving distance.
Wait, I lie, I went to the Bahamas once with my dad.
...sorry, that sounds a bit mememe and crap of me coming hot on the heels of Emily's difficulties.
What? No! Ridiculousness! There is no possible reason you should refrain from telling your here-is-one-of-the-glories-of-teaching story just because I gave a here-is-why-teaching-sucks-big-donkey-balls sermon!

Every single prospective teacher should get this tattooed somewhere on his or her body.
It's a bit wordy.
Oh oh oh, I have to share -- one of my students today told me to "get off [her] nuts." I responded with the ever-classic "excuse me?" and she quickly amended her statement.
Fay! We had the Supernatural premiere today!
ENVYENVYENVYENVYENVY!!! Ngah! And I want Numb3rs more than I can say.
weeps
Fay, my father (he of the Cairo trips) will be traveling through Bangkok soon (apparently having decided that one shouldn't let 40 years go by without a trip to Thailand), and this just seems like TOO much of a coincidence. So tell me what small token you want brought to you from the United States, and I shall commission my father to get it to you, because clearly some sort of offering should be made to the gods of coincidence to show that we've noticed.
FanTAStic!
Johnny Depp springs to mind. But that's probably not going to happen, is it? Um. Bangkok pretty much HAS everything, really...um...I mean we even have gazillions of Starbucks and Dairy Queens and Seven Elevens and all that...hmm
I have consulted with Khun Bun, my Teaching Assistant, and we can't actually think of anything. But I would be delighted to whisk him off out for dinner, if he's so inclined. That would be cool.
Meanwhile, I bought Season 1 of Bones and of Prison Break yesterday. Can anyone recommend One Tree Hill or Ghost Whisperer or anything else?
I'm awake.
I slept, for those of you playing the home game.
I've got 5 more pages to fill on this ass-fucking pantsy bollocking paper (name to be amended at will).
And about 6 hours till I have to be child-ready
The paper needs to be mailed today.
Good morning, nightshift!
And I want Numb3rs more than I can say.
If your internet access is fast enough to handle streaming video, the last episode is available from the CBS website. Go to [link] and click "All shows," then "Full Episodes."
Wee Matilda is so beautiful!
Talked to Mom yesterday, my brother is moving back home about Oct 15 instead of the end of November. My brother and his fiancee that is. Mom's panicked because she isn't ready for them and next weekend will be taken up with the wedding of her bestfriend's daughter. This weekend is going to be a mad craze of "Do I need? Do I love it? Does it make me money?" (some organizational guru's mantra a coworker has been quoting all week).
Also my brother and FSIL have picked up more sponsors, they are now getting their spray skirts and are in talks about getting kayaks! All very exciting.
Matilda is -- as expected -- utterly beautiful in her squoosh-faced-ness. Sweet baby girl!!!
Emily, your tagline ("Kneel before Zod!") reminds me that I saw a commercial for Smallville in which Lex says "Kneel before Zod!" in this tone that had me thinking "Just show me where, baby." GUH.
t edit Of course, it also had me thinking -- yet again -- how Queer As Folk is less gay than Smallville.
