Love fest, but more awesome.

Sere, some days I feel old enough to be your mom. For reals. But I really love seeing your smiling face on here.

Blue - I feel like you have been posting less and I have found that I have missed your posts. Also, I have wanted to send you something in the mail for weeks but have felt awkward asking you for your address cause I wonder if you will think it is weird.

Anna (who usually posts on E and whose initial is escaping me)...I like you.  I would love to sit down for a meal and talk politics

DMills - I am fairly certain we are on opposite ends of the political spectrum but I feel like we would get along.

[QUOTE]Nates-you inspire me to be a better teacher!
Posted by SereJane[/QUOTE]
You ARE an amazing teacher. For real.  You are totally committed and passionate and at the end of the day, that's what kids are going to take with them from year to year. So go you!

I miss JenGin so much. KD and I cannot have a love triangle without her.

I miss YIO, too, because I'm never on with her. I had so much fun with her at our GTG, even though I felt like I was going to die on the last roller coaster we rode and she laughed at me because it was so tame.

Oh, and for the ladies who 'loved' me...thank you.  It is amazing how nice it is to hear good things. I had a really rewarding day at work and between that and this thread I will go to bed with warm fuzzies.

Nebb - I have that issue in RL too lol. I'm socially awkward and always think people don't like me/notice me. You were also one of the first Canadians I came across and decided we had an instant bond from my creepy lurkerdome.

Nates: You're welcome. I also really like the fact that you're reading books to find ones that might interest your students. I always liked teachers who did things like that because it showed they cared and didn't view students as just part of their job. If that makes sense.

Sere - what grade do you teach/want to teach? I just read "The Other Side of the Island" - we are going to be using it for lit circles...it grade 6 level. So good! (post apocalypic dystopian fiction).

I am student teaching 8th grade US History classes. I'd love to teach a language arts/literacy block (fingers crossed) but we'll see. I should check that out and stash away ideas for the future.

ZombieNates

Well, I can't lie, Avs, I am enjoying it myself :P  The kids seemed excited about the idea of a "book club" bulletin board, where I'll post suggestions and they can add reviews and such. They said they never know what to read next. I think I'll introduce them to that site Any linked, too.

SarahPLiz

Oh, and I like Edie. I think she's sweet and I actually like that she asks questions about the details. It shows that she is genuinely listening (reading, whatever) and interested in conversing and getting to know you.

<div>Oh man, I would love to just teach US history. That obviously wouldn't happen here!

True. Edie does remember what's going on with each person and makes it a point to questiosn them/check up.

Actually, I'd like to be more like that.

avsfan33

Oh I like Edie too. I find her really sweet and like she genuinely cares about everyone. She's also one of the few people (that I know of) that like hockey.

dmiller9274

nebb, I like you. You crack me up a lot, and usually it's always when I've read something after the fact and think to myself "that shiit was really funny and everyone just breezed right passed it." 

number, you seem like such a strong person to me, and very caring. I admire you, like a lot. 

rosie, wtf, why don't you come around more? I like when you come over to play.

chels, I kind of feel like you're my internet little sister. I think you're so sweet and I usually get what you are trying to say even though what you say doesn't come out the way you mean for it to.

dj, I you and I think it's so cute how much you seem to enjoy being a new kittie momma.

Smash Adams

Thanks, y'all.  I'm not feeling so kickass lately but it's nice to hear that  And Poli, no,  I don't think you've missed any updates.  There has been no communication in a few weeks.

DMill, I love you.  I think you're hilarious.

I'm a big fan of DJ's too, and I think she handled all that Plus-Sized board insanity with some serious grace.

Yeah, I agree that Dmill is one of the few people that makes me genuinely laugh. I almost never agree with you on politics/social policy, but you do have some great one liners.

Dangit, I missed this last night. I'm tossing mine in late. 

Smash, you are really a cool chick. I don't think I'd have as much grace and kindness about me under your circumstances. 

Arwo, I really love reading your posts. You're super smart, but combined with your dry wit it makes life awesome when you are around. 

KD, you are incredibly kind and funny, and I love you!

Dmiller is that person who I always love seeing around. 

Y I Oughta

I'm going to add too since I usually miss this stuff.

Nates: I miss posting when you do. I wish I could be on more and I had a ton of fun at the GTG. You make me sound like a meanie in that post. Sorry if I laughed at you. : (

Bec: I like seeing what you have to say. I find I agree with you a lot.

Nuggs: I love reading what you have to say too. You can always make me laugh.

Blue: Being strong through what you are going through inspires me to have more patience in TTC. I want to get KU NOW, but I know that's not likely. I am a very impatient person.

Nebb: I don't think you really care for me very much but I like reading what you say. You can usually say what I am thinking when it comes to calling people on theri stupidity.
