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

( Quick gushing about actually TEACHING, and The Field Trip That Might Have Been... )

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?
( Just in case anyone particularly cares about the plot of the first Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle movie... )
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



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?!)

Okay, so this subbing thing? Is really, seriously strange. Just because I'm subbing in the schools I attended and I keep running into teachers I had and...

Example: In third grade, my teacher's classroom was in a portable, and our class and the teacher next door would switch for science and social studies--so MY teacher taught all social studies and the teacher next door taught all science. My brother had that next door teacher when he went through school.

I team-taught with that teacher on Thursday and Friday. Mr. S (we'll call him) wanted me to call him by his first name.

O_O

And then he said "You have to go see Sue and say hi!" REFERRING TO MY THIRD GRADE TEACHER.

It's all too much. I cannot call these people by their first names. It's wrong on every possible level.

What was amusing was listening to my fourth grade teacher and my art teacher introducing me to one of the other teachers and practically interrupting each other to do so.

"This is my baby!" (I'm not kidding, this is what my fourth grade teacher called me.) "She was in my class--"
"I went to high school with her mother!"
"She went to my college!"
"I was roommates with her aunt in college!"

Also, do you have any idea how WEIRD it was to eat in the teacher's room of my old school? I stepped in and expected to be yelled at!

Anyway, yeah, so I subbed 3 days this week and just now the sub caller called and I have jobs lined up for Monday, Tuesday and Friday and she'll call me if she gets requests for the other two days.

This is looking good for my wallet, but not so good for my continued sanity, as I ENTER A TIME WARP when I enter these buildings!


Also, I made an 80s playlist because aradiachiba made me, and then decided I needed a playlist with all the music I have from the 1990s.

All except the broadway music, with the exception of certain songs from RENT and Disney movies, because I CAN'T think about the 90s without "Be A Man" playing in my brain--certain people know why.

248 songs, 17 hours and 18 minutes (exactly) later... I think I need more 90s music. ;) Let's just say I've been listening since Saturday and I've barely gotten halfway through.

I ♥ the 90s. Except I'd never relive them EVER.


On a random side-note, I just read a freaking AWESOME fic involving Dick Grayson and Roy Harper. ::is so beyond happy::

DC, you are so absolutely crazy that Superboy's reality punching is starting to MAKE SENSE TO ME. Somehow I think that's wrong.
