also also also and
I keep thinking about posting, and then realizing that I don't have anything interesting to say, and then not posting, and then feeling like, since I haven't posted in a while, I need to say something EXTRA interesting to make up for the radio silence, but I don't have anything interesting to say, much less something extra-special, and so I don't say anything.
But, hey, I exist! Great plans are...not really afoot? I am pretty intensely boring these days; I...knit a lot? and I've been sewing again, and reading books with actual pages, and planning lessons and teaching classes and being perplexed by my students (most of whom are actually awesome! ...but some of whom are the most special of special snowflakes). And grading! Oh, the grading.
For the most part I continue to adore my job! There are aspects of it that I find really frustrating—the way that the department is structured, and the occasionally STUNNING demonstrations of privilege-related fail (in myself, in the students, in my colleagues and my supervisors)—but there have also been some awesome moments. Guys, education is awesome *_____*
Today they have their second chapter test! NGL, I think I am actually more nervous than some of them are—what if they forget how demonstrative adjectives work? did we spend enough time on some of the weirder vocabulary? Did the kid from Brazil actually study, or is he just going to write in Portuguese again and hope I don't notice the difference? AGGLE. Plus I can't actually write any lesson plans for the next chapter until I get the homework sheets; the course is centrally coordinated, so while I have to make my own lesson plans, the day-to-day organization of topics is handed down to me—except for how it hasn't been, yet.
SO HEY. I used to do this thing called...writing? And I would not be opposed to doing it again! So prompt prompts: best bets are probably Middleman-related shenanigans, but I am, has oft been noted, pretty easy.

Oh lord, I totally do this too. Sigh.
Still, nice to hear from you, lady. No need to say anything special. It's just fun to hear what is up with you!
What are you knitting these days?

"Goodwill," he said, trying to look nonchalant and failing miserably.
"Oh, smart," said Esposito; Kate turned to him, raising an eyebrow.
"You mean you didn't turn to charity for that?" It was long and flowy and purple—not Esposito's color at all, really.
He shrugged. "Ex-girlfriend."
"The one with the tarot and the crystals and the—" Ryan cut off his gesture mid-wobble, staring at the door. "Um."
Kate turned to look.
"Technically," she said, after a moment, "that's a skirt, not a dress."
"I know, I know," Castle said, holding up his hands apologetically, "but the blue satin minidress didn't seem appropriate for an office environment."
