ok. so the week is over. over the past week i have:

finished my first formal teaching practicum
been selected among thirty candidates for the decs teaching in rural and regional communities field trip. so i get an extra week of practicum, at a country school. gladstone high in my case.
was informed that my second practicum school has been confirmed. i'll be teaching at my old high school for five weeks. sj johns college, whyalla. freaky.
i've disappointed a friend by being honest. honestly uncertain. damn. but i'd rather be fair and open than string her along by omission.
discovered that while i've been away on teaching prac, the pgsa council has undergone all kinds of shenanigans.

people are strange, stupid, and a constant source of amusement ... fuck me.

Music:: nick cave and the bad seeds - as i sat sadly by her side

I could be horribly literal, there. ;-)

can i get that on a tshirt? or a mug?

[link] [parent] [reply]

Sure but if you do that every time I compliment you, you're gonna have a huge collection.

[link] [parent] [reply]

lol!

hadn't thought of that!

if we stick to the really funny/suggestive ones ... new tshirts never go amiss ...

well done on the field trip but cant you call it practical because practicum makes me think of naughty things;-)

[link] [reply]

thanks.

and nope. don't mind the innuendo. wish there was more to it though ;)

[link] [parent] [reply]

lol!

[link] [parent] [reply]

and with an iocon like that! well! innuendo supremo! lol!

[link] [parent] [reply]

well, how weird - the icon you refer to doesnt show up so I can only presume you mean this one?! ;-)

[link] [parent] [reply]

it shows up wen i look, and yes - it is that one.

yes. umm. ahhh. :whimper:

[link] [parent] [reply]

Ah! Men, so predictable!

well well well... seems like you are suddenly quite the sex object here! they must be hot for teacher (god that was an awful joke, i'm almost ashamed of myself).

"i've disappointed a friend by being honest. honestly uncertain. damn. but i'd rather be fair and open than string her along by omission."

trust me, whatever this disappointment was, it was better than the disappointment that would come from her assuming something that was untrue for too long. i repeatedly find myself in those shoes and it isn't fun.

"people are strange, stupid, and a constant source of amusement"

yes, yes they are, but we usually don't tell them that. ;)

[link] [reply]

rofl!

the disappointment was real. but i'm hoping that we're still friends. i can't string people along. not in my nature, or my ethics.

i think my openness is attractive, but ultimately my honesty gets too much i think ... hard to keep up with? i just don't know.

i've learned not to tell people my complete opinion of them. i use the public version. keep the jucy stuff for the subscriber edition :)

Good to hear about the practica (is that the plural of practicum). In any case, sounds like that's going well for you. :)

As for disappointing a friend by being honest...I'd rather have someone be honest and possibly sting me emotionally rather than not say anything and have us both proceed on false assumption. Friendship is being able to communicate such things, methinks. Heaven knows, I've screwed it up before. And so have others. It's one of those human things. ;)

And yes, people are strange, stupid and a constant source of amusement. :) And annoyance, I would add. :)

i live by honesty and integrity. some pain now is always better than a complete mess later. i think she'll respect me in the morning.

oh, hell yes.

I heartily endorse honesty. Of the three men with whom I've had relationships since my divorce, the only one I've stayed friends with is the one who was honest with me all along rather than trying to make me feel better by allowing me to have the wrong idea for a while because he didn't want to hurt my feelings, or he wanted to keep getting some, or whatever.

And yes, people are strange.

[link] [parent] [reply]

i'm no good at lying (and being an aspie, i find it hard to lie anyway). honesty is what i'm looking for. openness, trust, and a willingness to share and to talk.

i really cannot be intimate with someone who is closed. i notice that if nothing else.

i be seeking an equal, and a challenge. i want sharing and challenging - assertive and open. someone who will drag me out of my own shell, and will be happy when i pull her out of hers.

brains and beauty are possible.

:toast:
"here's to people. strange, and true!"
