Dear Santa...

Dear Santa,

This year I've been busy!

In August I helped vicious_lullaby across the street (6 points). Last Wednesday I ate my brussel sprouts (1 points). In May I gave thornefox a kidney (1000 points). In February I gave bubblefire a Dutch Oven (-10 points). In November six_demon_bag and I donated clothes to the needy (11 points).

Overall, I've been nice (1008 points). For Christmas I deserve a wedgie!

Sincerely,
darkp_hawk

Wait... I gave someone a kidney and I deserve a wedgie? But... important organ....

Meredith: Mommy, I know its your birthday and all. But please put me down. I'm really high off the ground. Why must you be so tall, mommy?! You, person with the camera! Tell mommy to put me down. This is really interrupting my naptime!

I don't know if I should post this

2012-11-01T22:38:53Z

Well, I'm posting this anyways even if you don't like it. The complaint line starts over there next to the black hole.

You should not read the shoujo manga "Good Ending" while listening to music. Especially these scenes:

With this song:

Because we all know that this Kurokawa Yuki:

Is much cooler than this Shou-sempai:

And we all know Utsumi should realize that he belongs with Yuki!

PS. She did not fall UP into your lips! Stop with the denial!

Winter is coming

For one of you who has Speech class and didn't do so well on your first assignment:

I hope you're getting progress done on this next assignment. I assure you putting it off will NOT make it go away. All it will do is make winter that much colder when it strikes you unprepared. To help you, I'd like to see a rough draft of your speech by Wednesday @ 12:00pm noon. Normally, I set my due date at 11:59pm before midnight but noon is your midnight so.... Trust me, you WANT that extra day to practice your speech.

Winter is coming....

Reality TV

2012-07-30T20:27:16Z

I'm watching "My Big Redneck Interventions" and thinking to myself: This can only work one way. It can only go "middle class" to "redneck". Can you imagine the backlash if there was a show that took "redneck" to "middle class"? The recknecks will consider it an assault on their very identities.

This reminds of "Queer Eyes for the Straight Guy"... I do not think the flip side of the coin would be very received.

2012-07-18T21:48:53Z

There is a new post in the Pluto IX main page. There is a new post in Pluto IX!

THERE IS A NEW POST IN PLUTO IX!!!

That is all.

Oh, for all you who are wondering, Pluto IX is a RPG LJ community which stopped in 2010(?). This was a really awesome game and some of us are hoping this means that game is restarting.

Some days, you just need to play fetch

2012-06-12T19:45:27Z

I disagree with this...

2012-05-15T23:29:08Z

but... Meredith swears she'll behave herself. :O

I probably shouldn't post this but

The annoyance of the day

2012-02-17T00:18:42Z

Student: Did you see Chris Brown's performance at the Grammy's?
Me: Yes.
Student: I think this is his comeback!
Me: :/
Student: What? Its not like he did anything wrong.
Me: He beat up his girlfriend and sent her to the hospital.
Student: He's sorry about that... maybe.
Me: :/ He didn't exactly apologize for it.
Student: He was keeping it real.
Me: Not cool... ever.
Student: Like you wouldn't beat your b**** if she got out of line.
Me: 1. Language... teacher here. 2. No I wouldn't. Beating women is bad.
Student: Is it because he's black?
Me: O.o For the love of- Stop going back to the race card!
Student: I would if it wasn't so obvious the case!
Me: *facepalm... forever* Let me just be clear about this: Beating women is not cool... for any race... ever.
Student: *huffs* Whatever.
Me: >_> Pull up your pants while you're at it.

Controversial statement of the day

2012-02-15T14:44:08Z

"I don't think you're stupid; I think you're a horribly neurotic test-taker who second guesses everything and forgets that legibility is part of the requirements of getting full points."

...Probably could have said that in a better way.

What?

2012-02-03T13:41:40Z

...I can't help but think this is how RG and Judah sees sakura_ame and myself at times.

Glitter... lots and lots of glitter.

If you looked at the picture and the caption below the picture in the link, you'll learn that Clare begged for grape soda... then spilled it everywhere. And she cried....

This is why you're not getting fed, sakura_ame; I'm saving you from spilling everywhere and then crying.

News Article

2012-02-01T22:23:00Z

http://www.hlntv.com/article/2012/01/18/ohio-school-cuts-hours-lunch-art-music

If you guys read that article, it speaks about how a school has cut hot lunch, PE, art, and music from their system. School is also ending at 1:15 pm. The parents in this town are really upset about this and I understand their concern.

The thing is... they kind of brought that on themselves. >_> They didn't pass a levy to get more money into the school system. They felt that the school system needed a change and a change happened. What did they expect to happen? Were they expecting the schools to go "Oh, they cut our budget because our students are below standard. Let's SPEND THE MONEY WE DON'T HAVE and get them better tools to learn with! I know WE DON'T HAVE MONEY TO BUY NEW TEXTBOOKS OR LAB EQUIPMENT but things haven't changed that much over the years right?"

I agree that this is a bad idea and shouldn't be happening. However, I know that its not the school's choice. I mean, we all have a budget and we all try to live by that budget. If you need a car to get to work, you're not going to buy the brand new Porsche with all the additional packaging if you don't have the money for it. You would buy the affordable car in your price range. It may not have all the extra things which will make your life easier but you use what you got. The school system is doing just that. Its not that they WANT to cut those programs; its they HAVE to cut them to stay within budget.

The parents do have a point though. Why wasn't anyone thinking of the children? The money being sent into the budget is FOR the students. They could get programs such as music, art, and lunch with that money. Now you're complaining that the school doesn't have the resources? Where was this complaint when they told you that they would have to cut those programs without additional money? Did you think they were bluffing?

Despite what people think, we really don't get into the education system for the money. We're not getting rich off your backbreaking work. Hell, we work more hours we're not paid for. I can personally tell you about teachers who are crashing on the couch late at night b/c they spent the entire day working their ass off to teach your kids. They had to figure out the best way to teach a concept AND MAKE IT FUN FOR THE STUDENTS. And they still don't get to relax on that couch; they have tests and homework to grade, make-up tests to write up for those who didn't take the first test, plan a unit for the next few weeks, prepare back-up plans in case the unit plans doesn't pan out, etc.

Parents, I know you're upset. But stop complaining to us about it. We're playing by your rules; if you don't like it, you can change YOUR RULES WHICH YOU WANT US TO FOLLOW!

Luci's new theme song

2012-01-27T13:56:54Z

This has to be Luci's new theme song. No questions asked!

"Geek and gamer girls, we're undefeatable
FPS, achievement unlocked
Jedis represent
Now put your sabers up, oh uh oh oh uh oh oh"

(I'm looking at you there my Star Wars friends *stares at lumy12 and gizzi1213*)

So true and you know it!

2012-01-27T00:48:09Z

Of course they need to be in alphabetical order! And they should be color coded for true order!

Personal Letters to People

2012-01-19T16:09:38Z

Dear asshat,

If the street is covered in snow and every other car is moving really slowly, you may consider NOT doing the following.

1. Drive down the street fast
2. Fail to yield at a stop sign to oncoming traffic while turning left
3. Skid through all the lanes and end up on the sidewalk
4. Drive off the sidewalk back onto the street almost sideswiping the car next to you
5. Rolling down your window and shouting "Learn how to drive asshat!!!"

Most likely, the person in the other car is thinking YOU'RE the asshat in that situation and most likely every other car does too.

Signed,
the guy laughing at you when you ended up in the ditch a few blocks down the road

Dear teen male gamers,

When you see a female avatar in game, I would like to offer you this word of advice: Don't be a dick. I understand that you may not know how to interact with girls in real life but that does not give you the right be be a dick in game. Despite what Mystery from The Pick-up Artist says, women do not respond well to you diminishing their self-confidence just so you can score some virtual face-time with them.

P.S. Luci's ass is not a keg; stop trying to tap it.

P.S. #2 The line "Your pants are like mirrors; I can see myself in them" is corny and seldom works. It is even less effective if Luci is wearing priest robes and thus doesn't have pants on.

P.S. #3 While Luci's milkshake does bring the boys to the yard, stop bringing mobs along with you.

Signed,
a person playing a female avatar

Dear Congress,

Stop this BS with SOPA and PIPA. The CEO of MPAA (Motion Picture Association of America) was a US senator and he has social networks in the legislation committees. He has reasons and political influence to make a pretty penny off of this. You know who doesn't? REGULAR PEOPLE. Stop helping the rich get richer. The rest of us are getting tired of it. Not cool Congress... not cool.

Signed,
regular people

Ours music video day

2012-01-16T17:54:11Z

Does anyone have one of those days where you feel like you're living something out of someone's script? Well, I'm having an "Ours" music video day.

In that video, we start out with the oh-so-enthusiastic security guard letting the employees into the building... sort of. Yeah, security doesn't really look the ID badges ever. Of course, you have to be buddies with the janitor. Janitors are awesome... yo.

Instead of standing in an elevator, imagine it in a hallway with the same type of looking on everyone's face as you walk by. Especially this guy.

Speaking of which: student who hangs out in front of my classroom door, please stop giving me that look EVERY TIME I go to unlock the door. The rape eyes is kind of unsettling.

Then there are the gamer guys. Those guys who play angry birds on their iPhones. In some situations, that is okay. When you're breathing down my neck while I'm trying to navigate through the crowded hallways? No! Dude, back off. Crawling up my ass will NOT make the crowd move faster.

We're not even going to talk about the "out of paper"/"out of toner" part. That's... moving along.

That GUY. THAT GUY.... Moving along on this one too.

Then there are those gossipy people when you're trying to eat lunch and do work. People... working and eating here....

But I survived it for another day.

New Idea

2012-01-13T17:13:46Z

I have a new idea in regards to what happens in the following situation:
1. The roads are really snowy
2. School is not closed
3. No students show up for first period

The teacher should be able to call it a day and go home. We all know that there won't be any teaching after that. It would put first period a lesson behind everyone else IF they even show up for class. Compounding the problem is that its FRIDAY so students would treat this like a 3 day weekend. So... how about it school board? Can I go home because I'm not doing crap here.

wtf?

2011-12-25T17:10:04Z

Merry Christmas to all.

I'm watching the Disney Christmas parade and the first performance is Justin Bieber. :/

Child, can you please lip synch better at least? I'm not asking you to actually sing or anything ~~even though it annoys me to see people lip synching~~; I just really want you to match the vocal record.

And please stop grabbing your crotch. Its making me uncomfortable seeing you do that. :/
