Memory Lane

I am on a loud music kick at the moment. Makes me miss Uphonik shows. Makes me miss dancing into the wee hours of the morning. Hell, that was any show that Krissie and I went to, really...

Heeheehee. Hey, K, flashback: Joe doing the Joe Boxer dance at a JQ show at the Venue. That still makes me giggle. Those were the days.

It's that time of year again...

Holiday Dos are bit around here. There are three for school that I have been invited to join. The first is tomorrow night - Year Team Christmas 'Do.' Monday is the Science Department one. Thursday is the whole school disco (yes, that's really what they call them here). Then Friday is the last day of school.

I am SO ready for a break... And a few shots.

Happy Holidays ya'll.

Sound Bites of My Week

"You look like you listen to Blink 182 and Green Day." A comment from one of my homeroom students. I don't see it myself...

"You know Miss has had a bad day when she comes into school with a new pair of shoes." My head of department knows me too well. Funny, I said something to my Dad about the comment and he said he'd always go shopping for a new shirt. I come by it honestly, just always thought it was my Mom's genes...

"I'm going to tell you a secret." I watched Madonna's new documentary last week.

"Admit it, Miss. The real reason you are here is because you are hiding from the US government." Okay, so maybe I said too much the other day. Don't ask me how the conversation about marching on Washington started...

"I was your age when that song was released." Students singing MC Hammer's "Hammer Time" and Whitney Houston's "Greatest Love of All."

"Don't want to be an American idiot." This is all I heard this morning from some darling students. Unfortunately, the poor kid had no idea what the song is really about... And, well, I agree I don't want to be an American idiot.
