I learned today that I actually enjoy the sensation of confusion. I enjoy confusion. I enjoy confusion? Yesterday my student told me that he could hold the Guinness World Record for the longest extracted tooth. Tri, Jill, and Emily promptly interrogated me about how his current teeth look. Since I didn't get a close enough look, I'll have to ask him to smile tomorrow. Maybe I'll ask him for a photograph of potential world record holding tooth. One of my other students referred to himself as a "Twinkie." I learned yesterday that this is actually a derogatory title for an Asian-American person. Maybe I should read Urban Dictionary more often. I did read Urban Dictionary yesterday to find out what "Annie" means in contemporary discourse. I liked definition 5 the best. It says, "An extremely funny girl who is amazing at dancing, especially in Physical Education class." I'm not sure why I'm only good at dancing in PE, but whatever. Although, let it be known, that I suck at dancing. Also, an Annie is one who seeks to attract baseball players. Hah! If only you knew me in my younger years. Baseball players, you know, they had my heart. Especially left-handed power hitters. Somebody explain to me why they're just a little more attractive than the rest. One last tidbit: Today I had one awkward moment. I saw a friend of mine in the hallway, and this friend proceeded to ask me a personal question. I answered this question with, "He was nice, but." Then I repeated to myself, "He was nice but." Then I repeated to myself, "Nice but. You know, I meant the conjunction!" Then I blushed and walked swiftly away. This is precisely why I am socially awkward. Oh, I think I'm going to have soup for dinner. As soon as I leave the office. Which is . . . now!
Well, there's five minutes of my train of thought. I hope you enjoyed your momentary stay. I also hope you don't feel like a ping-pong ball, or one of those Atari games. Si se puede!
