OMG, I had the gayest tow truck driver last night! He was like fancy gay. And a tow truck driver. Weird, I know. He had the cleanest tow truck I've ever been in, and his uniform was all neat and pressed. We got to the repair shop, and one of my students worked there. She gave me free taquitos. All things considered, it was the...

So sick. I got about eight minutes of sleep last night between every time I had to blow my nose. Even though I feel somewhat guilty about leaving my students to face the horrors of standardized testing, I'm afraid I have to call in sick.
Somebody should rent me some movies and bring me some soup.

Well, it is a big swet cream now.
We have a surprising number of male students who suck their thumbs when they're working on something. So many, in fact, that we had to ask our resident social worker if this was some new gang/drug related behavior we'd never heard of. She said not that she's heard of, but you never know.

Try to suck your thumbs ; if they called you "sista" this was agang/drug related behavior.

Enjoy the query letters. I hope you're some sort of masochist. I thought getting rejection letters on short stories was discouraging. There's nothing like getting your own query letter back, stamped "No thanks." Sigh.
That's not to discourage you from sending out query letters, of course. But, uh, brace for impact.

I used to hate it when people would tell me I think too much. Now I think I need to tell myself. Self, you're thinking too much.

maybe you can try "people you forget to think" to those who told you that.
I love your previous entry about co-workers and your nigga attitude. Quite funny post

Dear My Coworkers,
Let's just get this out in the open. I don't want to see pictures of your children. I don't want to touch your pregnant belly. I don't want to hear about how you shit yourself when you give birth but it's totally worth it because after nine hours of the worst pain ever...

Dear god. Pregnant bellies give me the creeps, bigtime. I also can't imagine being pregnant and demanding that people touch your stomach. Or allowing them to, for that matter. No fucking way.

ha ha ha.
I can so relate to that.

I think I may have been initiated into a gang yesterday. I'm not sure, though. I hope I don't have to beat anyone down. It may pose a conflict of interest with my job.

Check all your fingers- if you're missing a joint, chances are that you're in.

Congratulations?
Yesterday, my sister and I went to the fine arts craft show. We saw the most amazing clocks in the world.
Take a look.
These things were huge, and each piece in it moved. My sister and I were stunned by them. We stood for about ten minutes, just watching the clocks move. The second I have $7000 to spare, one of these will be...

I want one.

I was just talking to someone about similar clocks done by a different artist, David C. Roy. His stuff is a bit more Art Nouveau or Shaker-inspired, but I like the weather-blasted/post-apocalyptic thing that Borden does. The raw wood and angularity reminds me of Ursula von Rydingsvard, one of my favorite sculptors.
I bumped my thigh on a table and yelled, "Fuckmonkeys!" in the classroom today. Oh, it'll be a while before the kids let me forget that one.

i just want you to know that i just read that and i won't forget either

That's pretty good. My personal favorites are Christfuck or Godswhore or godfucking. I have issues with the church.
There was a full-on hoochie battle, Thunderdome style, at school yesterday. Three hoochies enter, one hoochie leave. There were pieces of weave flying everywhere, and language that even made me blush.
If you've ever wondered why I love what I do, it's because of the entertainment value.
