im not saying i dont love my mother. only assholes dont love their mothers, or people whose mothers were assholes, and (i like to think that) neither of those stipulations apply to me. in fact, i love mothers in general, as long as theyre kind people. but theres one kind of mother i dont like: those who drive mini-vans with a complete disregard for the other drivers who share their road. the kind of mothers who are too busy gushing over their children to pay attention to the fact that my car is in front of them and, in order to avoid a collision, they should stop. the kind who wield children like weapons, saying things like "How can you publish this when my children could accidentally pick it up and read it? My god! THE CHILDREN!
so i guess i hate children, is what im trying to say.
PaleBlue should be careful. i read a book once about how someone wrote a fictional account of a secret society called the Order of the Rosy Cross, or Rosicrucians. at the time no such order existed. the book became wildly popular, however, and people began believing, despite all evidence to the contrary, that the Rosicrucians really existed. it didnt take long for someone to actually found a secret society of the Order of the Rosy Cross, and then people used that as their evidence that the order had existed the whole time. what im saying, Mr. Blue, is that it's unbearably tempting to think your reality TV show is real, even though im pretty sure it's not. and if you keep that up, it wont be too long before a Fox producer latches onto the idea and runs with it.
what i said to the student who cried was, "Why did you plagiarize this paragraph in your paper from this site on the internet?" she answered with her tears and an unspoken mea culpa. i told her to write me a letter about why i shouldnt flunk her ass and report her to the fuzz, and she agreed this was better than being failed and sent home in abject shame. im not such a bad guy, you know.
new mexico sounds paridisical. which is why im going to weep soft tears and dream of new mexico instead of writing more to the blog. before i go, though, i want to say that Mighty Girl is funny, lindathemum has her priorities right, billyjoebob is coming to america, he coming to america, he coming to america today!, and kate, ive played that game before, except i used steaming water from the kitchen sink to break through the ice shield--i recommend it as a way to speed through those difficult middle rounds. think of it as a Nintendo Power cheat code.
