Favorite Search Terms:

  • when women were birds negative review: This does not exist.  Stop looking.
  • is it insane to post a 3 paragraph response on facebook: Yes, yes it is.  If you have friends that you have to write a 3-paragraph post to, then you should delete that person.  I don’t have a facebook, but once I had a friend who decided she was going to post a science video (that wasn’t actually science) saying that women on birth control are more promiscuous AND choose the wrong guys.  I then progressed to delete her with a very hard click, a pounding click if you will, and went about my normal day.

  • princess bell curly hair: Unfortunately, Belle only had a slight wave and wore her hair mostly in a ribbon. Don’t fool yourself, the wardrobe had a side job holding a curling iron.  I can tell.  You can always tell.  Naturally curly-haired girls always have one straight piece.  It’s like our birth mark.
  • roses are red violets are blue this kafka book is just for you:  A library needs this on a shelf filled with Kafka.
  • holy mary tattoo: Is it bad that I read this like a comic book BAM!  HOLY MARY! Tattoo.

Favorite Search Terms:

  • Raven bread: This is either a town in a book about witches, or some sort of delicious chocolate-striped dessert loaf. 
  • “brylie” “sarah drummond:” So someone decided to google two of my closest friends on the planet.  Weird….
  • I love reading books because: FINISH THE SENTENCE GOOGLE

Book News:

I feel like I could post this video alone on the blog and let it speak the volumes I try to speak to my high school students everyday.  Today, instead of fighting another kid, a student asked me to pick him up from the cafeteria when the bell rang.  Instead of sticking his fists where the words hurt, he used his words to be a bigger person.  I told him, we’re dominant on the animal food chain because we have the ability to reason.  I told him not to give someone else control of himself because that’s what fighting is.  I told him not to listen to his friends who won’t have a fighting blemish on their record just from cheering him on.  We have the ability to say, no, I will not be that guy, that girl, that person, that nobody, that somebody, THAT.  I will walk into that cafeteria everyday if I have to, through the hoards of students, to remind just one of my students that they’re important, they’re beautiful, they’re worth it.  Tell someone you love them today, tell them they fill a space inside you that rings when they speak.
