My New Hobby

My master teacher has a super smart 7 year old daughter who is currently obsessed with dinosaurs. Yesterday, I was demonstrating my MS Paint wizardry to my master teacher, so I decided to use a dinosaur picture from the internet to explain how things are done. This resulted in an ankylosaurus with a painted on smiley face, which I saved and she later showed to her daughter. Her daughter thinks it's the best thing she's ever seen, so I started making more of them, both for her amusement and mine. Here are some I made today, presented for your consideration.

 

In other topics, I had a girl from my high level ESL class today ask me if she sounded stupid; she told me to "be honest." We talked about it for a few minutes and I put it together that she is concerned that when she speaks in English, she doesn't sound as smart as she feels in her head. My immediate reaction was that's exactly how I feel when I speak Spanish. She asked me if she could do some non-classwork writing and have me look at it and read outloud and have me help with her pronunciation. I agreed of course, but then added the caveat that she has to do the same for me in Spanish. This should be awesome. 

I made the mistake of mentioning the circus in 5th period today. Those kids went totally nuts over it. Lesson learned.

Things Learned

I have realized something about myself: I love it when I see a dude wearing goggles. It fucking makes my day. Additionally, if I see a picture of a dude wearing goggles on a dating website, I will send a message to said dude no matter where he lives.

Life Goals

I hope that, one day, I can have an epitaph this awesome/unintentionally hilarious.

The Poll Hat (shown on left) is the first commercially available hat designed and manufactured specifically for manipulation. It was designed by the hat maestro, Nils Poll ("the fastest juggler in Scandinavia"), and is manufactured in Denmark.

Moving and Dreaming

After a lot of thinking, I am starting to feel a bit better. I have shifted my perspective on the whole situation. It's obvious to me that Ian and I still have a lot of feelings for each other, so I feel like now I am moving more for my inability to get a job and be an adult. We will both be working on ourselves.

Since I am moving, I have found a bunch of random stuff (as one does). I found a too-soon aborted dream diary. This one is pretty weird. I wrote the day, but not the year. I'm guessing it's 2005:

7/2 night
I was engaged to be married--to Matt Guidry. I was making preparations in a little house/shack in the middle of the desert next to a dusty hi-way. I had doubts about it, and specifically remember saying, 'Does anyone else find it odd taht I'm marrying Matt?' The wedding was in December, but the dream was in the present.
Then I dreamt that telemarketers kept calling me cell and waking me up--at 1 am. I cut a deal with a girl who was forcing me to buy from a Brasilian restaurant that I'd buy extra vegetables if she took me off the list.

I won't try to dissect what the hell this dream meant, except that I was getting a lot of random cell phone calls at the time. I thought it was amusing and shareable.

Now, as to things I have found.
These are doodles from Elisa. Also from about 2004

And then this is a picture of me all dressed up for Kelly and Ben's wedding. So, also 2005 on this.
Finding old things is always so interesting.

Godhood is blond, full of blinking

There are a lot of things I could say about this hilarious/awesome/ridiculous video, but I think i'll let the video speak for itself. Note: I don't know who made this video, I just stumbled on it. Also, just about everything in the cartoon part were things I've heard in church before.
