Yes, Andi, so true! Behaviors aren't needs. My therapist was very firm with me about learning new behaviors to replace ones I had learned form growing up with alcoholic parents. I fought hard, because I thought those behaviors were who I was. I learned that I could learn to deal with things in a healthier way and still be who I was---only better.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

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?
This is a crap day. You know how the statistic is that 50% of all teachers quit teaching in their first 5 years. I can tell you why. You get RIF'd every 2 years, and you start looking for job security.
Seriously, I am wondering if I made the right career change by going into teaching. I am, if I may say so myself, a great teacher. I am good at what I do and every year, I know I get better. But I'm really wondering if I can put up with the politics and the money issues and the severe lack of respect for teachers in the general population.
So, yeah. Got RIF'd today. Again.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
What's RIF?

It both sucks and blows and not in the entertaining way.

So, when does Buffista Academy start up? I'm a kick ass drama and video production teacher.
