  I guess I do have a little to speak of,  from yesterday's broken recess and today.  It's a long entry by my recent standards,  and I've done nothing to alleviate the boring part of my style.  Sorry.  Now,
 if you'll get me a Pepsi,  I'll begin.  " No,  I won't go to the circus with you,  Barney!
 -  Me,  after waking up from a catnap in French ( I woke up at 330 hours this morning and have been awake ever since)  At least I'm told that's what I said.  Lots of new teachers on the CHS urlLink RateMyTeachers site.
 We're now up to 45 teachers,  and a boatload of ratings.  Hell,  we've even got a pair substitute teachers in the ratings.  ( IF you know the first names of that old knitting lady and Mr.
 Burns,  flag the message so the admin can fix it.  I have to give a lot of credit to the Lounge patrons for at least getting the site off the ground.  I was going over a scenario that came up in French ( Sathya had a real hard time believing that this wasn't fabricated by me after I asked her about it)  For all the ladies out there (
inevitably,  I'll get no response,  but I'll ask anyway)  If I was a guy ( and I am,  but I'm not "
the guy"  for the sake of the theoretical situation)  and I had an eye for this one girl,  would I be wrong to pursue one of the girl's best friends as a means of getting the girl's attention?  As in. pardon my unbelievably bad example.
someone like Phillip *  wanted Ashley Olsen,  for example,  but decided to go after Mary- Kate just to make sure Ashley noticed him. are we on a comparable wavelength?
 ( I would hope so.  Would it be just bad macking *  if some guy were to follow the example?  Priya thinks so,  and so does Sathya.
 But hey,  people will disagree on anything these days,  be it over French wine or French kissing.  Or whose ball is in whose court ( somewhat inside joke)  And Phillip would be quite wrong about me in that case,
 since I'm still reeling over the last few months and a pair of careless mistakes I've made.  In fact,  I've only been able to note that the quest for reconciliation in any relationship takes at least twice as long as the building stage.  And,  on a similar note,  I've backed off my stance on the prom.
 TMK still doesn't plan to go,  regardless of whether or not he has a date ( for some reason,  he's rather optimistic one may show up in the next month. eyebrows arched with suspicion,  smirks*
 TMK gets the feeling that he's simply built a powerful shield against being put in another compromising situation of sorts,  and that may be why he's been like this all of a sudden.  I guess haircuts come in multiples,  when they come.  After I resigned my position as head of the TMK Big Hair Commission,  I was rather baffled to see yesterday that Aileen had cut her hair short,
 too.  Different,  I suppose.  Oh,  and what ever happened to our little friend Toni Smith?  *
 ( I would have picked someone other than Phillip if he had quit hounding me about possibly being " the guy"  while I tried to ask Priya the same question on the bus.  *  (
Damn if I've ever heard such an odd phrase,  props to Andrew for teaching me that in context,  around Homecoming 2K2)  And I'm running from my problems I got my funny face painted on And then I'll think of what you said to me And then I'll think of what you did to me I'll think of you and probably laugh And then I'll think of you and probably laugh And then I'll think of you and probably laugh You're the one I'm running from Damn if I thought that you would change And my life would stay the same When you don't even care about me Ah no,  you don't give a damn Well things will come and things will go And one thing I know for sure is that You don't give a shit about me And so I'm walking out the door.
