I've always gotten along better with women. It may come from the fact that I spent the majority of my formative years with my mom after my dad divorced her. Being a middle school teacher, i work with basically all women.I usually relate better to women. I prefer the company of women over men, and it has nothing sexual to do with it....ok, perhaps a...

Happy New Year and thanks for reading!
Thankfully and mercifully, 2012 was a far better year than 2011. I'm looking forward to a trend - that 2013 will be even better. I suppose I have resolutions, but they're more goals than anything.
Here's my list of favorite things from 2012:
*My trip west, especially Arches National Park in Utah.
*Finishing a ten mile race for...

Eeep! You're far too kind

thank you for your support on my set! meow <3
Winter break has begun. Though I am looking forward to the next two weeks off, I'm really going to miss my students.
Reading, writing, doing art, watching movies, fucking around on the Internet are all in my plans. It shall be glorious.

Thanks lovely

Thanks popette and my boobs appreciate the compliment
and my boobs appreciate the compliment I was so sick at school yesterday, I took a nap on one of my couches in my room during my plan period. That couch is really comfortable. I still had to leave early because I just couldn't make it through the day. I should add that I have couches in my room for my students to get comfy on during independent reading time.

Sick work naps are some of the best naps I've taken.
Once when I had a training class full of twenty people I had to get a sub to come in. I spent the rest of the day in the back of the room with my head down because my boss wouldn't let me go home.
Poor thing. I hope you feel better.

I miss the days of making honest-to-goodness mix tapes: the ones that took hours to create, and you had to listen to each song as you recorded to the quite-missed cassette tape. After finishing the labor of love, you pressed eject and held tangible evidence of your work. The next step was the cover artwork and decision on how the song titles would be presented....

Dec.8th at The Metro... they always play The Metro. This will be my second Nada Surf show this year & I've lost track altogether... at least 7 I think.

Awesome mask!!! And ditto... I would love to go to a masquerade
My life has been mildly to completely shitty as of late. Thankfully and mercifully, things seem to be looking up a bit. I hate how life goes in waves. For once, I'd like to be steady for an extended period of time. I want more times like Friday night, for instance, which found me with a large group of acquaintances, being very outgoing (for me,...

That's a neat drawing! Your students must really like you!
candykydfairy:
I totally relate sir...I offer my services as an awesome listener & all- around awesomeness anytime
At times, I feel supreme confidence, as though I can do anything.
At times, I feel so totally fucking socially awkward that I can't stand being in public.
I have no problem talking to and teaching/working with a large group of adolescents on a daily basis.
I feel nervous in a group of adults. Always. I'm much better one-on-one.
Anger is an emotion with which...

Happy happy birthday! You will get a birthday card with the next letter.

Happy birthday adorable sir!
With one week left of summer break, before I go back to one of my true loves in life (teaching), I look back on summer 2012 as a near-waste. It started off well enough, but once I got into the thick of it, not having school to think and worry about, I was left to nearly drown in my own horrible, dark, anxiety-riddled thoughts. It...

One thing that really helps me (when in a public place or anything like that) is music.
I know people are talking about me or throwing comments at me, it's nice to be in my own world.
Maybe you just need inspiration .
Thank you btw :3 <3

I need all the support I can get, I'm planning another shoot, probably outdoors so we don't run into lighting issues.
But I don't know what I want to do yet.

My top-hat adorned dino, who is quite the gent, is flattered and would like to meet your octopus necklace at some point for conversation and cognac.
My octopus necklace, whom I refer to as "Oscar," would be delighted.

I like Josiah.
It's a bittersweet time of year. Tomorrow is my eleventh last day of school. This year is one of the most bittersweet. I've loved my classes this year and developed some awesome relationships with my students. At the same time, I can't wait to get the hell away from a majority of the adults in my building for the next ten weeks!
Well we got...

I think a general problem with intergender interaction is if one of the parties does not entirely live up to the other person's gender expectations. Personally, I find men who read a lot and are thoughtful very attractive. If you end up in a room with a guy who thinks the most relevant thing in life is football and fitness etc., chances are that he won't be too excited to hang out with you...
So while this may have something to do with "role models" or poor peer behavior, it may also have to do with gender stereotypes, people's individual expectations and situations you may find yourself in...
