Close Friendships Between Two Women Are a Beautiful Thing

Now if only Dana would stop being a curmudgen with no taste for adventure and Katie'd stop being so overbearing with her hinting they might actually be entertaining to watch doing things other than being sexually assaulted by monsters. But hey, that's half the fun, isn't it?

Teaching : Part Two

For the most part I really like my group of kids. They are a wonderful bunch and I mean it. I find that a lot of the students are very funny. One of the projects that was assigned to the students was to make an acrostic poem out of their name. What they essentially had to was right their name vertically, and then write a positive descriptive word for each letter. For instance:

Z any
A rtistic
C lassy
K een

Well as I was making my way around to help the kids with words one of the girl told me that one of her letters was an "A", but she was not athletic. She asked if anti-athletic was okay and I replied no. Then her face lit up. My Jimmy radar went off.

"I got it! How about A (makes hand sign for "hole" (asshole). She laughs hysterically at this, but because of the nature of what she is saying and the hand sign she was making I had to explain to her about appropriate language and all that. It took a while but after some deliberation the student settled with awesome. Now, the next letter she wanted to do was the letter "N". No problem I thought, there's lots of good positive words beginning with "n" such as nifty, neat, noble, and nimble. Sure enough before anything happens she nonchantly tells me "Oh I know! I'm naughty!"

Maybe I heard her wrong. "What?"

"Naughty! That's me and it begins with N". She's laughing kindheartedly.



Bless her soul. She's only 10 I remind myself. She does not know what she is saying I tell myself over and over. I had to act quick cause the last thing I need is for someone to walk by and see me standing there next to her with a large piece of paper with her name on it and the words "naughty" written on it. I just told her without emotion "No naughty. Erase it and choose another word."

"But I love it! It describes me..."

"No" I repeated.

"It's not negative..."

"No. Listen to me and look at my lips: No."

"Okay I'll change it, but I still think it's a good word."

WTF.

C'mere boy!

'Lets go for a stroll!'
I love Midna. She's just too adorable. :3

The "Free game list" from Steam

I said a while back that i was planning to look up all the free games on steam and write short reviews on those, but then a lot of stuff happened such as me getting sick twice in a row, bitten's bday, my steam stopped working due to one of their updates, and then zach's bday.

Finally now i don't have anything important to work on and a new update on steam fixed it.

While doing research on why steam broke down (which turns out wasn't my computer's fault but steam's) I found out that someone made a topic with a handy list of steam free games:

If anyone recommends one that i didn't try I'll be sure to give it a shot.

Teaching : Part One

I do not know if I already told you folks, but I am going to be a teacher. Today was my first day, but the students were not officially on campus today as it was a "staff meeting" day, and most teachers took the time to do last minute preparation including myself.

Since I knew I was going to be at a more affluent school this year I decided to make the most of my summer by not shaving and letting my hair grow out all sexy like. By the end it was long enough to where I could have tied a ponytail. However, recently I went to my main barber and told him I needed a short no-fuss hairstyle and cited Tom Cruise (crazy or not he still has good hair), Chris Pine, and the current Leonardo DiCaprio.

So after about 30 minutes I have this new awesome short hairstyle that I can style formally in under 5 minutes and it went well with the teacher clothes. I also finally shaved and it felt pretty weird. I decided to keep my goatee though, cause that just let people know I am the evil one.

Yea.

Anyway, I will continue to post my daily survival stories. NOTE: I will not guarantee that the stories will always be funny.

Post Youth Olympics

What do mascots do after the the event they represent is over?
They spend the rest of their days at limbo beach. :3

In Her Younger Days

Lady Like, in her rebelious younger days, hating on the man and expressing free love and all that other hippie crap. Who knew she'd end up married to the guy who'd become Cabinet Minister for the monarchy?

One of these days I'll actually post something that doesn't involve Lady Like. One of these days...

The "Heavy Rain" let's play

This is just something me and Zach have been following.

Heavy Rain is a terrible terrible game, in the sense that it's honestly a fucking bad movie with quicktime events.

Click for LP index

The Author of this let's play doesn't talk over the game, but rather adds captions when he wants to note something of interest or just make fun of the game.

It's fascinating to watch these videos because of how bad the game is, and also how it desperately wants to b taken seriously and is just silly and retarded.

As of now, the let's play is still in progress so there's usually a new video every couple of days, be sure to check.
