Seriously–in the middle of all this writing stuff, I’ve got to TEACH? And what about the kids? They seem to need CLOTHES? And we’ve got SOCCER GAMES? Doesn’t the world know I need a day to just let my head spin and bask? *sigh* Apparently, basking is not in the itinerary. Neither is exercising–I not… Read More

DUDES! You will NOT believe the day I had! Okay–school was okay. Well, school had real shit potential, actually. The Junior class (all three of my sections are Juniors) are spinning screaming through roll permutations like a gerbil in a gyroscope–I lose five, I get six.

Get it? Not just a river in Egypt, right? *sigh* Yeah, whatever… Anyway, long day at school. It was actually good to be back. The thing with the chairs ROCKED! I’m totally going to keep them like that. “D’s, stand up, move two spaces around clockwise. There’s your new seat.” Completely impersonal, and that one… Read More

You guys remember that song? “And the wheel is going round and round, the whole wide world is upside down…” So yeah. We’re in the circle game–and welcome back to my complete insanity.

I’ve noticed that I don’t have any real blogposts for this last week–I guess my head really HAS been up my writing ass, hasn’t it?
