Bouvre

This show has been around for years and is sorely underappreciated:

Hell yeah good shit

All the time. I revisited my old deviant art account once and found a message from somebody who was wondering where I was and hoped I was well. It had been years; she married and had a kid. It was touching.

I was the kid who played accordion. Still am that kid. Just not in high school anymore. That'd be weird.

I love that all these people in my home state can't spell pnuammonia

Good work! You got this! <3

People insisting that I "calm down!" mid-anxiety attack.

I'm surprised there's hype at all, apart from "Cool, now I can have this thing to help me focus."

Finally.

Is it Mississippi Queen?

Yes. Thank you for the contribution.

What if it's an introverted woman who works in the office and has tattoos?

I see one part of this thread discussing sound and another discussing a look, so I really don't like "phagus." Whatever root word you attach it to, it looks bad, like a dilapidated trailer on a severely under-powered vehicle: sarcophagus, esophagus, autophagous, etc. In terms of sound: larp is my most recent pet peeve, which is bad for somebody who hangs around a lot of cosplayers and weebs.

A good day.

Got any plans for it?

They've derailed the mediocre track. The problem with a derailed train though, is that you have to wait for it to come to a stop all on its own. In the meantime you have to watch it destroy everything in its path, including the "Heart and Soul" melody.

Thank God you put the time into this series and used supporting evidence to ease my one rimjob fear in this hypothetical situation.

Do it on different web browsers to see which one has the better algorithms for making a masterpiece though!

Whichever one collects all of my information and makes the best mosaic of my face using my photos, life events, credit card numbers, and shitty unfunny posts from various websites.

"It took too long to release Tarkovsky's "Stalker" onto the Criterion Collection, but thank God for that fucking Blu-Ray release."

I'm unopposed to rimjobs but I do have a fear that if he clenches his glutes, it will rip off my tongue.

I see "high school teacher" as a realistic job. Even if it is somebody's dream, it's not as shoot-for-the-stars difficult as--say--winning the Palme D'Or for your film, or being the poet laureate of the US. I think the "average" sense of these goals is relative to what I've already done. Publishing short fiction is something I've already done. Doing it more seems pretty basic. And I have the current credentials to teach creative writing courses, so again, I don't sense it's too far down the road. As for why high schoolers? They're fun. They're smart. You get to make a difference at a very important moment in a kid's life. Not to say that other moments aren't as fundamental, but a high school experience can make or break a child's willingness to pursue higher education or, if college is something a student doesn't want or need, to be the kind of person who has a desire to always be learning. I almost didn't go to college at all. My parents didn't support it, and no teacher ever asked me if I wanted to or gave advice on how to prepare for college. And so it was practically luck that I went (via community college). But I did so well! My academic performance was tremendously better than it was in high school. I went from C average to straight A's. And now I've had all these experiences that I'm incredibly grateful to have had, and I want to support students so they can feel more at ease about what they want to do. And I want students to find something they're passionate about, even if it's something in a subject they don't give a shit about. I could probably go on, and this explanation would only get more disorganized, but yeah--I have a lot of feelings about teaching.

1. Be a high school teacher. I went into my MFA thinking about collegiate-level work, but having the opportunity to work with high schoolers has turned me toward obtaining single-subject certification in California. 2. Get more fiction published. I've been slacking on this because my thesis is a novel, and not a short story collection, and so I haven't been writing enough short work to have on regular rotations in slushpiles. 3. Teach creative writing courses. Whether this is an elective during my time as an above-mentioned high school teacher, or teaching somewhere like Grub Street or Hugo House, I'd love to run workshops on fiction, particularly introductory courses, and courses focusing on plot construction. 4. Travel more. The few times I've done it have been very invigorating. I have a friend who quit his job to trek the Shikoku pilgrimage. I envy that so much.
