Stupid pizza eating mutated adolescent turtles.

[lady_sarai]

So, I subbed yesterday for fifth grade--and I ACTUALLY WAS THE TEACHER.

This should not be so shocking and astonishing, based on the almost consecutive two weeks I've been subbing. But. >_< They keep sticking me in classes with ed techs who take over, or classes that are team taught. So, you can imagine me walking into that portable classroom and discovering that, yes, *I* would be *alone* with the kiddos, and yes. Picture that dance of glee.

Then picture the look on my face when I saw two sets of sub plans--one set for a cancelled field trip, and the other for THE SNOW TUBING FIELD TRIP I HAD NO IDEA MIGHT HAPPEN!

Thank god for two snow days, which meant that the other grades missed their field trips and therefore, the fifth grade's field trip was rescheduled.

I was so not dressed for snow tubing. =P That could have been monumentally bad.

In other news, next week is February vacation, so... um... week off, yay?

In even OTHER news, I have quite a few fandomish things I want to post about, and honestly? My thoughts might best be conveyed by just copy/pasting from IMs with zoe_chan from this week. ;) And I'm thinking I'm gonna do this as several small posts, instead of one big one, just for the sake of not spoiling people for things, as zoe_chan and I? Get off an tangents like whoa.

I'll start with how the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles imprinted on me at a very young age and apparently is the Root Cause for my favorite Bulletproof Kink (in a non-sex way, although if sex is a byproduct, I don't ever complain!):

Lady_Sarai: IT HAS MY KINK!!!!!!!!!!!!
zoe_chan: It DOES!!!
Lady_Sarai: IT SO DOES!
zoe_chan: It is your kink all up and down.
Lady_Sarai: it's even got the less pretty side of my kink that REALLY does it for me and I try OMG SO HARD not to think of the psychological ramifications of.
zoe_chan: and the less pretty side of your kink?
Lady_Sarai: ... the less pretty side of my kink. um. ::turns ten shades of red:: okay, so, the horrid fevers and deathly illness really does it for me, but sometimes? I think I watched WAY TOO MANY superhero shows as a child and the whole kidnap/beating thing got a LITTLE too beaten into my brain. Did you know Two-Face beat Robin nearly to death in his first year as Robin? Yeah, then Batman fired him but not for long. I forget precisely what happened in TMNT to Raphael but you remember, I'm sure. I blame these things.
Lady_Sarai: ::shifty eyes and hides::
Lady_Sarai: So, yeah, it was my kink, squared.
zoe_chan: I do remember.
Lady_Sarai: what happened?
zoe_chan: he went onto the roof for some alone-time because he and Leonardo argued.
zoe_chan: While he was up there, he was ambushed by members of the Foot.
zoe_chan: they beat the SHIT out of him, while everyone else was taking a tour of April's junk store.
zoe_chan: he eventually got thrown through a glass window, and dropped through a floor.
Lady_Sarai: I BLAME THE NINJA TURTLE MOVIE OMG SO MUCH!!!!!!!! AND HOW PATHETIC IS IT THAT I CAN TRACE MY KINK TO TEENAGE MUTANT NINJA TURTLES?!?! ::has no idea what to do with this::
zoe_chan: ::shifty eyes:: I so share that aspect of your kink (and this is so terrible)
Lady_Sarai: THANK YOU
Lady_Sarai: I feel far less pathetic now.
zoe_chan: ::hugs you::
Lady_Sarai: it's so disturbing.
zoe_chan: yeah, I'm there with you

(LJ-ify your IMs before pasting!)

Context? Is for the weak. (Also, this conversation will probably just get re-posted in context at a later point, but. Yeah. >_<)

;)

Also, I seriously need more icon space, and I want icons of Friends, the DC fandom--Nightwing and Arsenal, SQUEE!, Grey's, Twilight, Teh Gay Sex... ;) Among other things. Speaking of icons, zoe_chan's Leonardo icon would be PERFECT for this post. ::sigh::

..All this being said, the current Grey's Anatomy plot would SO be my kink--minus the disturbing Turtle-related bits--if it were happening to, say, Alex or Addison, or Bailey or Izzie or George or Cristina... Um. ::rethinks:: Yeah, it'd be perfect if it were Alex. (And when did Alex become my favorite? REALLY?!)

I've never played house. Boooooring. Even with my Barbies, I'd make them secretly superheroes or sorceresses and have them play with the larger-sized GI Joes.

Oh, that's the other one! The GI Joe cartoons! I'm totally reaching to my early childhood along with He-Man, The Gummi Bears, and the Care Bears.

[lady-sarai.livejournal.com]

Yeah, the only house I liked playing was Bat!house, when I could be Robin, or Batgirl and go running off with the boys through the woods. Oh, that and we had an awesome period of time when we played Dinosaur!house and there was a lot of running away from carnivores.

GI Joe! Gummi Bears! I did like Rainbow Brite, now that I remember.

Also, we totally broke my LJ without making Richard drunk or confusing Clark! This is unprecedented!

[xenokattz.livejournal.com]

No kidding. It feels a little funny.

Ummm...

How about if Remy makes a comment on how Batarangs are phallic?

[lady-sarai.livejournal.com]

Bruce thinks Remy is losing his touch. Like he hasn't heard that one before.

Richard knew it was too good to be true.

[xenokattz.livejournal.com]

Clark flops on a chair beside Richard and wordlessly passes a stein.

[lady-sarai.livejournal.com]

They should really be used to this by now.

[xenokattz.livejournal.com]

[aside: HAMMY!!!]

Richard makes a comment on how Remy and Bruce should just make-out already and get it out of their system.

Clark had thought he was incapable of choking until this moment.

[lady-sarai.livejournal.com]

[Hammy is AWESOME. =D The kids at the camp I work at quoted that all summer, and I only encouraged them, because OMG awesomesauce.]

Richard really thinks Clark should stay home every once in a while. He only embarrasses himself.

What Remy is doing does not look humanly possible.

[xenokattz.livejournal.com]

Bruce's reaction, while not as physically... erm... striking, is quite verbose and explicit and Clark can never look at egg separators in the same way ever again.

[lady-sarai.livejournal.com]

Richard wonders why he continues to put himself in this situation. Most people never see their college roommates again after they drop out and vanish for seven years. And he should be smarter than to be seen in public with Remy.

[xenokattz.livejournal.com]

Remy reminds Richard that he (Richard) is only being a good citizen by showing around a poor newcomer from Way Out of Town.

Also, Richard eerily reminds him of his drinking buddy, Scott.

[lady-sarai.livejournal.com]

Except that Scott can hold significantly more liquor than Richard. But Richard is a lot easier to egg on, so it might even out.

[xenokattz.livejournal.com]

True. Now Remy is getting nostalgic and Bruce is trying to figure out a way to take advantage of the situation. Perhaps a very un-phallic Batarang to the head?

[lady-sarai.livejournal.com]

Clark thinks he should tell Bruce that if he uses a Batarang--phallic or not--on Remy, he's going to have to do something and this is supposed to be a relaxing evening. Of course, he also considers just making Richard deal with it, because it was his idea in the first place.

The last time he did that, though, he wound up sleeping on the couch and Richard was stuck in the spare bedroom, and it really wasn't fair of Lois to punish him because Richard let his friends blow up the bar.

[xenokattz.livejournal.com]

Richard reminds Clark that if he wanted a relaxing evening, he would not have brought Bruce or Remy, nevermind the both of them within fifty miles of each other.

Remy tells Bruce that he (Bruce) wants to poke him (Remy) with anything, he (Bruce) is going to have to pay him (Remy) just like he (Bruce) does with all his boy toys.

[lady-sarai.livejournal.com]

And I would keep playing, but my brain decided to Shut Down Completely in a Blue Screen of Death sort of way. >_<

I think it's been a long night and I need to sleep, but yay! Thank you for the LJ breakage, it was definitely needed. :) ♥!

[xenokattz.livejournal.com]

I was about to suggest that as well. Yay for rum!
