Bob Seger Knows His Sh*t

I'm chaperoning a middle school dance tomorrow.

Why, no. I'm not certifiably insane, though I do appreciate your sense of humor.

I teach at a very small school, so it isn't like there will be five hundred hormonally charged tweens to contend with. However, I have learned that hormones in general function in a funny way.

This is my theory: I believe that because there are so few students, there are fewer individual hormones present. Yet, this excess blank space… Continue

"What Happened To The Old Man In The End....[PART 1]"

By Dominique' Jade

One day there was an old man walking slowly in the park near his big scary house. He loved to take long walks around his neighborhood. He was getting to the age where he was forgetting everything he did and said. Ever since his wife had died he just kind of gave up on the… Continue

MEETING JOHN GREEN

(Er, unrelated: I like this font. I like it a lot.)

I had a very nerdy day.

John Green spoke to my high school today! It was one pure hour of unadulterated awesome. (SPOILER FOR PAPER TOWNS but honestly if you haven't read it yet come on. So I get a universal pardon to spoil it. Oh plus John Green says good books are unspoilable, YES!) In Paper Towns, Q says "What a treacherous thing it is to believe that a person is more than a person." But there is an amendment, a corollary to… Continue

Housekeeping Around The Ning And Last Day To Vote!

This is going to double as a mini-blog and a last day to vote reminder. Sorry if the formatting or wording is weird because of me being too lazy to make two different posts.

So I've got 2 major papers and 2 little papers I should be working on right now but I haven't procrastinated on the Ning for any significant amount of time in awhile. So I was having difficulty sending out a bulk message to my Ning friends about photo voting because some old friends' accounts weren't open… Continue

Spreading the fire-my story

Ok, here goes my 1st official blog...

Have any of you ever made a fire before? Maybe you and your peeps wanted to do a bonfire on the beach, or you went camping with family, or you wanted to make the coolest Jack-o-lantern ever so instead of a candle you used paint thinner and a paper towel (props to Ben, don't try it at home :D ). Anyways, every fire, both big and small starts with a spark, a tiny flame. Some fires start so small that you have to use your hands to block the wind so it can… Continue

Writing Twilight Fan Fiction while listening to Wizard Rock....hmmm....

So it's like early in the morning over where I am and I have been working on this new Twilight fan fiction that popped into my head. While I'm typing out this story I have playing on my computer the latest episode of WZRD. It's this awesome podcast where they feature wizard rock music and it's hosted by Amy and Jamie. Amy is the the soul member of Romilda Vane and the Chocolate Cauldrons, who is awesome by the way.… Continue

This bums me out on so many levels.

[original posting on myspace. i should never rant about star wars when i've just woken up for some reason at 1 am]

Why? I think it's kinda kool, maybe Annie, Vader(Anikin), not sure about spelling, wants to be good after all....

Exactly. At this point in the movies vader is so sure that theres nothing good that remains in him and is plotting to turn his… Continue

being bad doesn't feel as good as i wanted it to.

once upon on a time, there was a girl. she wasn't as happy as she could have been, but she also knew that people had it worse than she did, so she tried very hard to be happy and grateful. parts of her childhood were dark and sad and hard, but she had gotten through, she could still smile. she thought she was doing pretty good, in-spite of it all and she knew that she had a mom and dad who loved her, even though they didn't live in the same state. and even though her dad was gay, and she didn't… Continue

Want to meet people

So I have been on this site for awhile but I have not been very active on it. I really want to change that. I read a lot of the discussions and stuff but have not made many replies. I did not really know how to go about meeting people and stuff... but I thought that I might write something in here and see what happens :) I would really love to make friends, seeing as how I think I only have maybe one (on this site I promise I have friends IRL).. I think... In general I want to get more involved… Continue

And i think it's time for him to get on a plane

I know a lot of nerdfighters who want him to come

For peep eating and halloween fun

I really do think that he'd love all our costumes

And I think he'd have a nerdfightastic time here

In LA

Writing and writers and interpretations.

So after reading a book that is extremely well written, I often think to myself How would this writer describe me and my life?

I don't know why I think that.

I just feel like they are using such beautiful language for a simple story.

How would they go about writing my life?

So I am thinking of joining in on NaNoWriMo.

It's where you dedicate the whole month of November to writing a novel.

I am not much of a… Continue

Daniel/Denial Gathering!

Another small gathering in Stockholm!!

First we met on Plattan where a couple of Decepticons sat crowded on a sofa they'd carried there from a couple of blocks away (Yes, this is just another thing Swedish teenagers do when they’re bored).

We were even less than on our Peep-gathering, we were just;

Me (aka. Cheesy, Chi, Sue, Susie, Finding Susie, The Cheeseburger Saint, Accio You, Ford I think I’m a sofa, Esianne Ulandelour, Pytt, Suss, Sanna, Melinder, Lou and… Continue
