I RULE

[cornerofmadness]

had to miss the opening night of the haunted theatre thanks to a doctor's appt (big surprise more exams but i knew that going in) but there was good stuff to counterbalance that

1. two of my very good students in anatomy told me I'm the best science teacher they ever had and only want to take my classes. Flattering but since I'm not a one man show...

2. Another student told me I got him excited about science and loved that I taught like this was their first time hearing it and can't wait to take another course.

3. Sat down in the library to write while my clothes washed next door. Didn't even get it all out when I hear a gasp. A 13-14 something Goth girl in a red hoodie with black skulls is pointing at my FMA messenger bag. I LOVE FMA. I assure her I do too then she spots the manga I'm taking out of the library and flops down in the carrol next to me and proceeds to talk to me for a half hour. I'm the coolest adult ever apparently because I love anime (she had no idea we've had cons all long and they weren't like invented with the new anime boom) and write fanfiction. I get this girl though. I WAS her. The only gothy geeky kid in a small town. She was so thrilled to have someone, if it was someone her mom's age, to talk to about anime and manga. She definitely wants me to be at anime punch in Columbus in April (evil_little_dog and I have done this con a couple times)


now the bad - that poor cat's body gouged a nice scratch in my side panel runner to remember him by.

i have to go for another ultrasound and more blood tests to rule out pancreatitis and/or gallbladder issues. Whee. Shoot me.

Poor kitty.

Yeah, I was that kid, too. *nod nod* Though I never thought conventions began with my era. I knew they existed early on (by osmosis, I guess).

Yay for getting kids excited about science.

you and me both re: cons

[evil-little-dog.livejournal.com]

Did you hear Wendy's story about the little kawaii girls who came to her garage sale and were boggling over Wendy's anime magazines? "I don't recognize any of these characters!" "Look how OLD these magazines are!" "Maybe they're first editions?" And Winry blew 'em out of the water by saying, "No, look again, those are numbered in the (hundreds/thousands/whatevers)."

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

yes i did hear that one

[evil-little-dog.livejournal.com]

*snicker*

Hey, Lavi!

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

It's a pretty picture of Lavi

[evil-little-dog.livejournal.com]

I need to switch pictures out....

Woot! Anime geeks unite! I'm practically the only one in town that likes anime/manga, except for a "friend's" kid brother who's addicted to FMA. I started to get this one guy into it, but when Hughes died, he said he couldn't do it anymore. *head/desk*

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

that's one sensitive dude

[mulzrule.livejournal.com]

He is pretty weird. That's what happens when you're stuck in this small town.

[chaos-by-design.livejournal.com]

yeah, i was that weird kid who wore all black and really liked star trek. didn't get into manga until i was older though.

good luck with the health stuff.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

it was both for me even back then

thanks

[chaos-by-design.livejournal.com]

why couldn't we have all known each other when we were kids? :/

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

seriously. I keep thinking if today's youth think they're ALONE with all the like minds finding each other on the net they should ahve tried it in the 70's and 80's

[chaos-by-design.livejournal.com]

Yeah, really. I still find it really hard to find people I have anything in common with in real life. Everyone out there in the real world seems so normal.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

i find them pretty easily

[sita-137.livejournal.com]

Well of course you rule; known it for years. :)

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

haha thanks

[a2zmom.livejournal.com]

Yeah for appreciate students. Sounds like Goth Girl has found herself a soul mate. Hee.

Not so good about additional annoying tests.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

yeah it's obvious the goth girl's mom doesn't get it at all.

i figured the tests were coming

[silvrethorn.livejournal.com]

You'll know you're a teaching goddess when one of your _bad_students tells you what a great teacher you are. But having any student at all tell you you're an inspiration is a wonderful, wonderful thing.

As odd as it sounds, I hope the tests actually find something. It would be great, after all this time, to hear a doctor say, "Here's what's wrong, and here's how we fix it" instead of "We acknowledge your symptoms but we don't see anything wrong." That just isn't helpful.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

yes it is

and I SO agree with you. I really thought it was that last year with that adrenal tumor but no..

[0-mother-0.livejournal.com]

1, 2 and 3 are awesome (and you DO rule!)

*hopes your organs are healthy!*

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

thanks
