Then I said, "Now I appreciate a good tussle as much as the next person, but I don't think it's a good idea in front of all these people."

HA!

So, I can flirt with Vortex. Noted. (Though that one I may have already assumed).

oh, were we flirting? Then I should have smiled and said "yeah, but there might be some room in the back"

And then Vortex makes me blush.

This may be my problem with fellas. I expect Vortex's first reaction (which is gratifying, but doesn't often lead anywhere), but when I get her second reaction (which might lead to kissing and/or entertaining gropage), I blush and get flustered. I'm like insta-Middle-Schooler.

Hmmmmmmm.

I learn so much in this place.

And then Vortex makes me blush.

Hi Epic! Good to see you!

Someone tell me to get my ass in gear and not take another nap or turn on the tv. I know I don't feel well today (asthma medication-induced headache on top of the asthma fun), but all this lounging around can't be good for me.

Buffista Nation?

Well, first we'd need a pretty big boat...

Yep, Java, Duke is the one. He was a college beau for a time. Nice to see he's been throwing himself from high places.

This googling of past paramours has been interesting. I'm listening to a podcast of a meeting moderated by one of my most difficult, but growth inducing boyfriends. On a personal level, he was hor-ee-blay, but he's quite successful now. I'm glad for him. No. really. (He just said very critical...are there degrees of critical?)

Still sad. But that will be as expected for a while, I'm guessing. Thanks for the extra hugs.

Oh, and thanks for the good thoughts on the meeting. It was good. I planted some seeds...

I Googled my college boyfriend. He cut his long hippie hair :( and he's teaching aikido now. Cool.

Bitches!!! I had to skim, so I'm sure I missed stuff.

{{Beej}} I know you said no brackets but even a well-executed break-up can be of the suck. I hope each of you finds the right person.

Epic, I love your comeback! I especially like the word "tussle."

Day 4 of Student Teaching is complete! In fact, I'm sitting in my classroom right now and decided since school was over, it was time to check in on b.org since I haven't had much of a chance in the past few days.

Still loving it. I'm meeting more of the faculty/staff and getting to learn the kids names. I've been grading like a fool the past few days and learning my coopertating teacher's (henceforth known as "CT") writing rubric.

We're on movie units right now and are watching What's Eating Gilbert Grape and Gone with the Wind. I love reading the kid's responses to the movies. My favorite today was, "Scarlet is such a whore!" Made me crack up.
