My elementary school students love this song!

I have a couple of cosplay ideas percolating in my head, but haven’t taken any real steps to do them yet. I’m going to make a Khan cosplay for a Star Trek convention in the fall. And I’m thinking about doing a punk version of the Squirtle Squad from the original Pokemon cartoon with some friends... custom leather…

Thanks for the Judee Sill links. The Donor is one of the most interesting, beautiful, and hypnotic songs I’ve ever heard.

I’m sorry that you were driven to quit by that guy! I hope you can find someplace to train where that’s not an issue. I’m lucky that my martial arts school isn’t like that, but stuff still comes up from time to time. Mostly in the attitudes from junior male students who think that their female classmates are made out…

Going to Barbados with my partner! We can’t wait!

Haha, yes, teens are super weird. I love working with them for that very reason!

Mmmmm, one of my favorite foods. We made some on Saturday and have been eating the leftovers all week.

Same :(

Last night I went out dancing with a girlfriend for the first time since college! We went to an “anti-Valentine’s Day” party where the dress code was all black and the DJ played stuff like Depeche Mode and The Cure. We had an awesome time but I am dead to the world right now because I very rarely stay out as late as I…

My partner and I went on a cruise from New York to the Bahamas in February. We booked a balcony room and loved it so much. We would drink coffee on the balcony every morning; if it was cold we would bundle up in blankets. Really nice memories. :)

Not anymore. Here's a timeline at the page the commenter above mentioned: http://femininityinflight.com/laborhistory.h…

My main worry is that I am a school teacher, which is still a pretty conservative field, and I don’t want to have to worry about covering them up. The other thing is the permanence. I think I will get some eventually, but it’s a matter of getting to the point where I just don’t care anymore. And I find that the older…

I love your tattoo idea! Because I’m a music teacher, I want mine to have the quote from the record case, “To the makers of music, all worlds, all times.” I’m jealous of your Sagan quote, he is my personal hero. I need to get over my worries and get some ink! I also have an idea for a tattoo of the fictional starship…

Are you me? Because I feel the same way about Voyager, I think it’s a beautiful accomplishment and represents the best of human nature and human curiosity. I have the print below hanging on my wall. I’d like to get a Voyager tattoo someday and have even made the design, but right now I’m a wimp and fear the commitment…

...which spacecraft? Real or fictional? Is it Serenity? :)

I’m going to a gloomy music black-clothes-required dance party on the Friday before Valentine’s Day. I’m in a happy relationship but it’s a fun chance to go out with gothy girlfriends!

What a sweet story! I showed my fifth and sixth graders a bunch of Bowie videos the week he passed. They loved it, especially seeing the way his appearance changed over the years.

I feel you, I'm addicted to Fluevog boots!

Bah, all musicals have trite lyrics!

I am still in this phase, sorrynotsorry. Phantom is cheesy as fuck but I love it so much.
