Secrets...the world's way of making you not look like a fool.
Well, I have some secrets that I feel I can share with you all after three long years together. Yes, I know you're thinking to yourself " Self...what secrets could my awesome English teacher possible have?" As embarrassing as it is, I love ballroom dancing (mostly the Latin divisions with the cha-chas and such...so dramatic). Dog shows on TV...give me some popcorn and bring on the toy division!! Poms rock!! Love NSYNC (you the Man, Fatone!!) and crafting. Secretly, MH and CB don't bother me half as much as I pretend they do...I actually don't mind the witty banter...
oh and while it's not a huge secret...I am a gamer...Gears of War...Lost Planet...Dead Rising...80's treats ...Kingdom Hearts...the list is endless...PS2...Game Cube...Dreamcast...NES...XBOX 360...I am a video game junkie...I have an account at Game Stop...they know me when I walk in...
Gosh, I have so many guilty little secrets...
That was cathartic...so tell me peeps...what's your guilty little secret? Peas ( an abomination, dontcha know?) Bad poetry? Saved by the Bell?
Oh, and while you're at it, look at any character we've ever discussed and tell me what you think his/her guilty little secret might be...did Edna secretly know how to swim all along...maybe Jane loved romance novels and wasn't as independent as she claimed to be?
Tell me more..tell me more...Dish the dirt!!

Poems that Rock Our World
Tomaz Salamun:
What is Abomination
Abomination is when you come home
and say heat up the stove
and no one heats up the stove for you
and it's February
be gone be gone
the most global abomination is peas
Crazy! ! ! ! !
Crazy Crazy I used to be crazy!
They put me in big white squishy walls that were cold!
Cold Cold the ocean is cold lobsters live in the ocean Lobsters are crazy!
Crazy Crazy I used to be crazy!
They put me in big white squishy walls that were cold!
Cold Cold the ocean is cold lobsters live in the ocean Lobsters are crazy!
Crazy crazy...I USED to be crazy!

Shame Teacher Shame
Know one teach me poetry
I dont hang down from a tree
Dont want teacher to influence me
Just want to write how i please
Shame Poetry Teacher shame
Shame poetry Teacher Shame
Poetry Teacher can get stuffed
Even though i write real rough
Nobody tell me what to do
I like to write what i choose
Poetry Teachers just make me blue
Always telling me what to do
Shame Poetry Teacher Shame
Shame Poetry Teacher shame
How can i write about lust in the dust
If my Teacher leave me to sit and rust
Hangs me up with power lines
All he talk about is form and design
I want to write about life and dying
Shame poetry Teacher shame
Shame Poetry Teacher shame
Let Teacher teach and let me write
Then i write far into the night
Shame Teacher shame
Shame Teacher shame
Shame Teacher shame
Shame Teacher shame

Question of the Week #9
" I want candy..."
I'm hungry for something sweet to eat, which (of course) got me thinking.
Turn your favorite character into something sweet and tell me what he/she would be.
Remember...you must keep characterization in mind. For example, Roger from LOTF (shout out to Chrissy!!) would never be a Dove bar...it's too sweet and creamy and delicious for Roger...actually, could he be any type of candy?
I'm really hungry now and all I have is an apple...wheeee...nature's candy...yah, me...might as well chew on some paper...

QOW #8
March 18th...
Hello!
Spring has almost sprung...Peeps of every color imaginable are lining store shelves...the deliciousy goodness otherwise known as the Cadbury Cream Egg is ready for tasting...let the allergies begin...
As I sit here in my awesome office and listen to the traffic flying by, I think to myself "Self, you need a new car. Not any old car, but one the reflects your unique characteristics...your personality...that extra special something that only you have." Sadly enough, I have come to the conlusion that I might actually be a van, two door, room for the baby stuff, groceries, extremely practical...but I really feel like a Mercedes deep down inside.
With that in mind, choose a character from a novel and tell me what car he/she would be and why.
Vroom, vroom, people!

QOW #7
Hola!
I know..this is too much, my being ahead of it all and stuff. I was sitting here thinking...English...History....English....History...hmmmm...then the lightbulb appeared above my big-haired head....
Choose a historical figure, past or present, and tell us what you think he/she would choose to read if he/she entered our class. Your person can pick anything from your six years here, but it must be a piece of fiction. Make sure to tell us why he/she picked that particular book....familiar to self...life lessons to be learned, etc

Question of the Week #6
Hello APers....
I know... I can't believe it either... I actually put up a QOW ahead of time...relax the world is not ending...the polar ice caps haven't melted completely... yet (pause a moment and bow your head for the penguins, people, it's all about the penguins.)
In an efort to be more efficient , I have decided to take on the personality traits of someone who is punctual, practical, and doesn't procrastinate...an accountant. They are no nonsense individuals who file things on time and know exactly where everything belongs...I, on the other hand, lose my train of thought all of the time...Choo-choo!! Dare I dream to change my profession to one where deadlines are strict and exactness is key?
NAH....I'd be bored and I'm pretty sure the IRS wouldn't find my sarcastic wit nearly as enjoyable as you nuts do...yes, McCole, I'm talking to you!
So, this lead me to the next QOW....choose a character from any work we've read during high school and tell me what an alternate career for him/her would be and why. I pick Roger from LOTF as serial killer becuase ...well...he's a wee bit off his block....or he could make toothpicks..tiny little sticks sharpened at both ends...the gift that keeps on giving.
