Charlotte’s Web - Chin Up (via DramaticMelons)
Thanks Jess, this put a smile on my face.

The new whip.
Nice choice, my friend. I’ve always secretly wanted a pickup, but have never really had a good reason.
I used to drive my Dad’s red and silver F-250 (just like this one) in high school, complete with snow plow attached to the front. God I miss that. Got my first speeding ticket in that beast - 75 in a 50! I got off with a seatbelt ticket though because the cop knew my Dad. Living in a small town does have its benefits - suckers!

I’m running the risk of losing a great friend because I don’t know how to be just friends. I welcome all advice.
I feel so broken :(
Teaching at Ai - Update
It’s hard to believe that I handed out the midterm assignment in our class last night. Midterms already?!
To sum up my experience so far: I love it.
Sharing my knowledge and experience with others is extremely rewarding. It feels great to be giving back to a community that I’ve really fallen for in recent years - Portland and the Web. Yes I’m getting paid for this work, but I have to point out that this job is a vast difference to what I typically do during the normal work week. Working for an agency whose clientele is mainly large tech/retail firms is rewarding in itself, don’t get me wrong, but with teaching I can connect on a more personal level.
A challenge with this class is that it’s 4 hours every Monday night - that’s a lot time to keep people interested (myself included). So I try to maintain a loose atmosphere and joke around a bit. I’m kind of a goof as it is, so I try to carry that over into my teaching style. The first thing I said to the class was this:
“Who the fuck cares about the Internet? Why are we here?”
Whether this had the desired effect I don’t know :) I’ve since toned down my cussin’. It’s the New Yorker in me.
The biggest challenge for me is making sure everyone is involved and absorbing the material. Each student is at a slightly different skill level coming into the class so that’s something I need to be aware of. I have about 16 students and I can’t imagine what it would be like trying to teach a class two or three times the size because it’s important that I know my students by name, how they work and where their interests lie.
I think I’m doing a good job so far. I like it a lot and hope to do more in the future. We’ll see how the rest of the term goes - I’m looking forward to seeing everyone’s work!
Now that I have students following me on tumblr, I gotta keep this blog legit, right? Doubt it ;)
“What I find so strange is that she uses her real name,” Bobby, the 23-year-old Rutgers student, said. “I was thinking she’s just a really good liar. She goes after people who are very trusting, and exploits that. She really had me going—my first instinct is not to Google someone when I meet them.”
Unreal. This girl is good.
Now pardon me as I Google everyone I know.
Swine Flu is God’s way of punishing the Internet for refusing to shut the hell up about bacon already.
