how you know you're a complete and total dork

Friday night. Daytona Beach. A bunch of English teachers sitting in a hotel ballroom listening to a speaker talking about all of her grammar pet peeves. Thinking that, because we're English teachers, we're gonna agree with generalizations like, "nobody reads anymore." Ugh.

Christ.

A funny from today: "Anytime Jesus shows up in an essay, it can't be a good thing."

Oh, and the shirt I bought today--everyone was completely envious of it because it so beautifully reflects the stuff we've been reading all week. So I'm not gonna be the only one wearing it.

I miss my Booda very very much. I bought her a new toy today. That toy's name: Sprout.
