I saw my classroom yesterday. Tomorrow, I'm going to take my last day off (not counting weekends, of course) to decorate it. I was so excited walking into that room. It has two cinderblock walls and two drywall walls. It's painted white from top to bottom. The chalkboard is a little to small, the floor is super shiny from just being waxed. The desk is...

I decided some time ago to take a more serious stand against intollerance. This means you, kind old fuddy duddy member of the clergy. If you're a member of a group that discriminates against women and homosexuals, then you support intollerance. Just because your religion is 2000 years old, and your people have been doing this since time immemorial, that does not mean you get...

Other people's parents are ruining my life. See, I play Halo 2 late at night, when all the little, annoying, foul mouthed, biggoted because they don't know any better (I hope), kids are supposed to be asleep. But thanks to bad parenting skills across the country, I have to deal with these whining incoherent monsters.

"This board is gay. This team is gay. That guy...

That's more than half the problem w/ our society. Nobody really cares how the children in it are being brought up. Family Courts a joke, social services is a joke. There's not sufficient enforcement for behavior regarding raising children. Though I s/b it's entirely possible I've become a bit judgemental on the subject since raising one of my own.
stryka:
I am firmly convinced the two proffesions that are the most underpaid and undersupervised are teachers and law enforcement. Both have way to many people in them that do not care any more, or are burned out. And both of them play roles that strongly influence behavior in our society. There are some great people working in both areas, but if we offered more incentive, maybe we'd have more good people there. Of course I also believe parents should play their role. Preferably working side by side w/ the educational system since that is where there kids are most of the day.

People with shitty luck, like me, who regularly botch on rolls in role playing games, should not play poker for money. Not even for $2. But I keep doing it, because $2 is pretty cheap for an evening of entertainment.

On another note...
Took a Druid to 49
A Paladin to 50
A Shaman to 37
A Hunter to 25
A Mage to 25

And I thought I was well read. I got the summer reading lists for 11th and 12th grade (since I'm teaching classes for both). Some of them I've read, some I've heard of, and some I've never heard of. So I dropped $100 at Borders, and now I'm reading my ass off. On the bright side, my Film and Lit class is shaping up well....

Today marks 4 years in my relationship. She never remembers our aniversary... hasn't yet, but I don't mind. Just means I get to surprise her every year. We've gone from 'let's fuck and see where it goes' to 'I love you, but let's keep it at that' to 'let's buy a house' to 'marry me.' Someone once said of her that she failed to inspire...

I got the job! I'm officially an English teacher!

I sat down to wait for my interview next to this other guy. I was wearing a white shirt and a tie, black slacks. This guy was wearing a polo shirt. I had my professional portfolio with me (a binder of surprising girth), he had a few text books. I was early, he was late. I...

Seems my account is still active. When I cancelled it, didn't realize I had previously paid up for a year.

So... guess I'll update. Finished my masters, just waiting on the paperwork. Passed Praxis I and II, so I can get certified to teach. Got engaged. Have a job interview tomorrow. I guess life is good.

So why do I still want to spend all...
