Thursday
Sooooo here I am at school while the kiddos are in exams. Since I'm only part time, I'm kind of coming and going as I please. They don't pay me enough to sit here all day, especially since I can't even enter my grades until Monday. So I brought in an empty box and eventually I'll start packing up my desk. Eventually...

I really want this guy to ask me out on a date. I still don't know him very well but if he asked me to hang out I would say yes. We've only hung out with other people, and our mutual friend is very talkative and so she generally leads the conversations. And that's fine because we have a good time but then I don't feel like he and I ever actually talk to each other, and I get really shy and quiet if she ever gets up and leaves us by ourselves. I mean that's awkward no matter who it is. But anyway I just want to see if it's a possibility. I'm always afraid that I'm not giving the right vibes. I DID make sure to sit across from him when we were playing cards the other day so that we would be partners. Do guys notice things like that?

Well whatever...here's hoping for something to happen!

Job hunting really sucks. I feel bad for (e:Anne) but at least she has gotten lots of interviews (and a very nice new suit that we went shopping for last night). Job hunting especially sucks for teachers. There was definitely a time when there were tons of teachers retiring and positions available, but I'm pretty sure I missed it by about 4 or 5 years. There are a ton of young teachers at my school. I'm really lucky that I got the maternity leave position that I did because who knows what I would have ended up with? I feel badly for people that have to leave home and go out of state if they don't really want to just because they need a job, especially those from the Buffalo area. There's always tons of music teacher jobs posted in Long Island, but that's not ideal for most people (other than the pay).

(e:Anne) said she's going to run a race with me in July. YAY!!!!!!!!!

My friend wants to do the Rochester Marathon in September. Which probably means I have to start running again. Blaaaahhhhh. Oh well at least that means I might be more bathing suit ready when (e:Mike) and I go to the beach every day as usual.

p.s. (e:Mike) said he was going to call me to run to Target the other day like we always do but now I live far away and it seems silly and that made me a little sad.

p.p.s. I am definitely loving where I live so far though. I went running up and down the strip twice this week. I just like being out among all the e-strip dwellers, plus there are like a zillion cute dogs around to look at. I really like being out here, especially now that the weather is beautiful.

Okay, peace out, peaches. Can't wait to get internet on TUESDAY!!!!

It made me a little sad too, the dollar bins just aren't the same alone...ok i still love them but its not the same...i'll call you next time!

About the guy - yes guys do notice things like, hey that girl is sitting across from me, but he's not going to always assume that's a cue he should ask you out. You need to show some interest aside from just sitting down next to the guy.

What I've learned in my 20's concerning this stuff is that things don't have to be overly complicated. Guys never assume that a chick likes him because it's almost always a bad assumption. Most of us are not effeminate enough to understand a woman's extremely subtle clues. Smile at him, engage him in conversation one on one, break the touch barrier if you're comfy with that, but let him know you are interested. Don't beat around the bush.

official
So (e:Anne) and I are officially estrip residents.

More details, including dates of a housewarming party and pictures to follow...
mk - 06/12/07 09:13
I think if you live within walking distance of the strip (a REASONABLE distance), then you're considered an estrip resident.

The 24 is on linwood and (e:vycious) I know used to live on linwood and summer or maybe he still does. I would say that would be the elmwood area for sure but not sure what the qualifactions for being considered on the strip or not.
joshua - 06/11/07 16:28
Nuttin' like making it official - congrats!

(e:tiny) - close enough =D Paul lived on Linwood for a while so it should count. Just my opinion though!
tinypliny - 06/11/07 11:27
Hey congratulations! (btw, would I be officially estrip if I live on Summer and Linwood?)

mk - 06/08/07 18:10
yeah (e:jenks) ... one of my students found my blog. it may have been my own fault though, because i was checking it from work. i'm not worried, he's a nice kid, but it stinks that there is like no privacy anymore in the world!!!
jenks - 06/08/07 08:09
Hmm, seems like you must have edited this post and I missed the original. What happened? Did you get stalked? I'm afraid of work ppl finding me here.
fellyconnelly - 06/07/07 12:41

I think Dogs are the hunters in that expression.

"I will hunt you down like a dog (would)."

mike - 06/07/07 11:58
how'd they finbd you? what did they sya? did they seee the naked pictures?
james - 06/07/07 11:54
I am getting into teaching, and as such I have expunged my name and picture from all web sites. Because these kids will hunt you down like a dog.

Are dogs hunted?
anne - 06/07/07 11:28

leetee - 06/03/07 23:00
I totally want to know what is going on with Mike, too. You're OK aren't you MIke?

I will still be here, in Hamilton Ontario, or i would so help you move. I helped (e:Ladycroft) move. Oh, but i am not a strong guy, either...
