Oh, yeah. There was this time I was pinned down by this guy that played left tackle for varsity... Well, at least he used to before he was a vampire... Anyway, he had this really, really thick neck, and all I had was a little, little Exact-O knife ... You're not loving this story.

The great thing about the ADHD brain is that it sees all the possibilities in a situation - your job is to learn how to narrow those down to what is do-able.

Ohhhh, that is a good way of explaining it. And fits CJ and the problems he has been having in Algebra. He finds different ways to come up with the answer, then gets confused if his method doesn't match the teacher's method, and then he second guesses himself which leads to utter frustration.

Huh, I've run into this in various subjects. Darned world with multiple ways to the same destination. Tell me WHY your way is the right way, buster, and make it good, or shut up already.

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!

There is a reason for things like ADHD, I've always wonder if was a tribal survival trait. ( see windsparrow's post)

any way, I assumed kindergarten class rooms are modified versions of my preschool story time. song story song story , etc. with song meaning there are some actions. Part of the idea of storytime is to get them to learn when to sit , when to listen , hen to participate. and it varies by age, phase of the moon, what breakfast was , the strenght of the wind, ect. on how successful it is . I am guessing the average k-2 teacher has to go go with the flow.

When my OKCupid profile says specifically that I prefer my dates to be taller than I, why in the world would a guy who is 5'4" send me an icebreaker?

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

Did he mention he didn't think he qualified? I once poked at a guy whose criteria I didn't meet (not sure on what, maybe age), but I copped to it in the email. I figured better to seem contrary (because I am) than inattentive (which I also am, but why let the cat out of the bag so soon?).

Well, maybe he thought you matched well in every other way?

we did match in a lot of ways, but I specifically say that it's a dealbreaker if he's shorter. It's the one physical characteristic that I'm shallow about.

Maybe he thinks you're wonderful and he's hoping against hope that you'll take a look at him.

OK Cupid also matched me with someone and said "we've selected you for a mystery icebreaker because you both like Twilight"

WTF? not just no, not just HELL No, but HELL THE FUCK NO!.

BTW, his message was

I like Twilight because its a story of true love that go beyond boundries and i think in love there should be no Borders or Boundries that there is enough love for lots of people

I also say no bad grammar or spelling. Yes, picky, but we all know that I'm a grammar nazi. Is it any wonder I'm single?

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?
