So, I was at the doctors on friday and they had this poster: [link] about recognizing non convulsive seizures. I read it and I was like, "WAIT. Those look more like symptoms of adolescence to me." I so wanted to steal the poster but that would have been bad form.
Seriously -- "blank stare" is #1?
Apparently yes. And confused speech. Have you listened to a 13 year old?
Wheeeee on the Best Drama writing award!
Keep an eye out for the gothy kids from the Amazing Race; they should be there, and they're wearing outfits designed by my friend Kambriel.
ION, the second half of the manuscript: DONE WITH THE FIRST ROUND OF REVISIONS. I foresee tasty alcohol in my future.
But then they become toddlers.
Yes, but they are great then too! It's more that I do get how newborns can be uninteresting to some (like my dad, and several parents I know. They LOVE them then, without question, just find them less than engaging, and more endearing later.) Me, I am totally all over them in their primitive state, too. It isn't a better or anything, just that I've an affinity for them. Which is funny, kinda.
OK, I'm going to say that calling
Tina Fey the "Elaine May" of her generation is kind of crap. She's just the best lady-writer?
Hair dye is now applied. Camisole is now ruined.
I always wear the trashiest of my shirts to dye. Despite care, it even gets on the walls at times. And once, the Devi. Feria french roast is not her shade.
The LOOOOVE BOAT.
Soon will be making another run....
Ha! I wasn't even watching the Emmys, and yet I was singing this earlier tonight.
We were picking up friends from the Louisville airport, and on the drive back, we passed an "adult entertainment" store named "Love Stuff."
One of our friends started singing "love stuff!" to the tune of "Love Shack" at the same time that I started singing it to the "Love Boat" theme.
Dilemma: my school has no cheerleading sponsor. a handful of my students who are super good kids and extremely active in the school (student government, volleyball team, drill team) want to be cheerleaders. When they found out I was a cheerleader in college they were psyched and want me to coach and sponsor.
I'm lukewarm, but full of catholic guilt about the idea. It would mean I'd have to go to basketball games and the like (no football team yet). But it would make a handful of kids feel like they are having the high school experience they had hoped for and those kids happen to be my students.
Sigh.
