Nerdy guy: I don’t understand what the significance of the number 69 is. Can someone explain it to me?
Girl: You go to NYU and you don’t know that?
(nerdy guy shakes his head)
Girl: To put it bluntly, it’s two people giving each other head.
Nerdy guy: Wait, but what does that mean?
Girl: Oh my god…I can’t tell you that now. You’re the most innocent guy here. It would be like killing a unicorn.

last night’s 8th graders’ conversation class got me thinking (again).
the topic of our class was: “I want a job that lets me travel”. i asked each student to name the top 3 identifiers of their dream jobs, which i listed on the white-board. afterwards, we discussed each student’s answers, their personalities and what we know of them and “chose” their ideal occupation. it looked pretty much as follows:
Andy:
1) help people
2) lets me play
3) not 9 to 5
Peter:
1) easy
2) lots of money
3) nice office
Tom:
1) work from home
2) lots of free time
3) creative
i was astounded – as by the end of the evening i realized that i had:
1 philanthropic, professional basketball player,
1 writer and
1 arms dealer in my class!
it got me thinking though… i’m probably not going to be TEFL for the rest of my life – so what would my list look like?
i’ve come up with the following identifiers (in no particular order) – what would you suggest?
i’m such a gemini, aren’t i.
i took the cue from warrior scout over at kickin tina:
this is a meme that’s been around, but i thought some pictures might be good today. everyone is tagged if they choose to be..

guess what i did today…
my Mom sent me this photo by e-mail. it’s of me and my childhood friend Corné, with our first catch! we were hoping for loads of calamari rings *lol* who knew you needed more than just that one to feed a family? (or that preparing calamari from scratch was an art and not a mere matter of frying the hell out of it *lol*)
also in this photo is my aunt Ella – may her soul rest in perfection.
i should write more – but school’s a callin’

TGIF! Heavens, this Friday came just in time. For a moment there I thought I was losing it.
Me and Peter are bound for Taipei this weekend. We’ve got tickets to see Wang Li Hong (LeeHom?) in concert! I’m super excited!! Not that I know LeeHom’s music or anything – but a break-away from the South is way over due. That – AND we’re hooking up with Heather, Mathilda and Stacey! I haven’t seen them since our island adventure.
This is going to be good :0)
