Random thoughts, 11-11-2005

Mom's back home now. My elder sister says she's doing a lot better. Physically she is fine. The mental scars will take some time to heal.
----------------------------------------------------
The better I know you, the less likely I am to call you by your first name. For example, I call my roommate "Sir" or by the affectionate nickname "fat bastard". I also have a nasty habit of calling people "Miss Abbott" or "Mr. Coghill" when I'm being quirky. Guess I'm going to be one of those kinds of teachers.
----------------------------------------------------
Fantasy team wise, I'm doing okay, second in my division due to tiebreakers with four games left. I have a good QB and a super RB tandem but my WRs are subpar. I have a chance to pull it off if my super RB tandem can produce for the rest of the year.
----------------------------------------------------

I got "married".
----------------------------------------------------
If you asked a random group of 100 high school students why we celebrate Veterans Day on November 11th, how many would you guess would be able to come up with the correct answer?

Whoops, I totally forgot the quotation marks around the "married".

Hard to tell, but from the picture she looks pretty cute.

Yeah, my "wife" is pretty cute.

WOW.

Congrats!

Alas, there has already been a divorce, affectionate K.

~I'm really glad that you're mom is doing better physically. I keep you and your family in my prayers.
~I had a teacher in high school (my band director actually) who would get frustrated, stop everything, put his hands on his face and then look up and say "Dear... do we understand now?" and the student (usually me or another guard girl) would timidly say "Yes sir" "Ok, let's try again". Yea... the whole "dear" thing made you feel that much worse about whatever you did wrong. He was one of "those" kinds of teachers.
I've never really understood fantasy football. I like baseball better anyways.
~Haha... nice. Congrats on your fake marriage. Too bad you didn't do it on April 1. Then your "marriage" would be a real joke!
~If I had to guess, I would say only about 34 would be able to.

~Thanks for your prayers, grasshopper.
~Ah, but formality often encourages a higher degree of respect. At least that's what's taught in my culture.
~I bet a lot of girls don't understand fantasy football. And that's perfectly fine.
~I would have forgotten about my "marriage" by April 1st.
~Whoa, ask Phil what his guess was.

I love the picture, and I'm only sad that I wasn't there to see it. Know that I'm praying for you and you family, through everything that happens. I'm not sure I've ever heard you call Laur "Miss Abbott", but then again I've been absent for a semester. And I can't say that I've ever had one of those kind of teachers. It was more like we would shorten theirs names when we liked them and they were fun, and they allowed us to call them such (i.e. my math teacher was Reimer instead of Mr.Reimer, my bio teacher Weig instead of Mr. Weigand, and my Spanish teacher Señor instead of Señor Shelly). And I would guess that about 13 students in 100 know why we celebrate Veterans Day on November 11.

Well, Senorita Krob, I should get to know you better. And thirteen? I thought I was a pessimist...

[iceofpluto.livejournal.com]

:) well my guess is 2... I'd be in the other 98 btw... Why do we celebrate it Nov. 11?

Nice costume. What happened to your mom!? :(

[greybeta.livejournal.com]

Thanks. The answer is here. Read a few posts before and after that if you want to understand a little better.
