I'll never forget you You'll always be by my side From the day that I met you I knew that I would love you 'til the day I die And I will never want much more And in my heart I will always be sure I will never forget you And you'll always be by my side 'til the day I die

Truth: What's the worst physical pain you've ever experienced? Dare: Open Facebook, go to the account of the first person you see, and Like every post on their wall going back a full year.

I broke my leg when I was in high school, so that is probably the worst physical pain I have been in.

truth: why do you think your wife left you? dare: sign up for tinder, you can't delete it for an hour.

Since my daughter already set me up on tinder and nobody has volunteered to help me get it taken down, I don’t really have a choice here. And I think she left because she thought that it was the best thing for our daughter.

@PROFCHO: kind of feeling like I'm babysitting tonight but that's fine.

Oh wow.  That’s intense.  I hope none of my students do that, granted they do all know I’m happily married.  How did that end with your daughter and her teacher?

“Yeah, she’s a well meaning kid but she can be a little intense sometimes. Hopefully your students will never put you in that position - thankfully, the teacher was not married. Or, well, unfortunately the teacher was not married. We ended up going on a date to appease Dami and then I went to her wedding three years later.”

Hosting tonight at Radioactive as my dear old friend Vel is out doing something - there are drink specials and burlesque shows tonight for those who want to have a grand old time. Come see me if you want a discount or two - We will see what can be done for this special of nights. 

[profcho]

“Not so sure about the burlesque, but I may have to take you up on the discounted drinks. Not much else for an old guy like me to get up to on Valentines Day.”

Taught my 5th Graders how to make these beautiful heart dreamcatchers for Valentine’s Day.  They took them home to give to their adult.

[profcho]

“Ah, yes. I remember when my daughter made me one of those... and then lied and said it was from her teacher because she didn’t want me to be single...”

[profcho]

“I’m so glad you could make it!” Hyunjin greeted the familiar face. “I know that being excited for a Valentines day festival could be considered lame when you are single, but I’m a dad so I think the whole being lame ship left port two decades ago. Besdies, I’m just here for the chocolate.”

peony; share a small random book passage that means something to you.

“There is the humility of being a father to someone so powerful, as if he were only a narrow conduit for another, greater thing. That’s how it feels right now, he thinks, kneeling beside her, rinsing her hair: as though his love for his daughter will outstrip the limits of his body. The walls could fall away, even the whole city, and the brightness of that feeling would not wane.” —Anthony Doeer, All the Light We Cannot See

We don’t talk about what it looks like after the kids have been around.  It’s bad.  So bad.

“You’re a smart man. It is better to not even think about how nice and neat and tidy you made it and then the students get their hands on everything and ruin it... I raised a daughter on my own I don’t even want to know the mess that an entire class of children would make at that age.”

lunaria; what’s your favorite fictional universe?

I always was a sucker for the Lord of the Rings. But also the Inheritence Cycle. So Middle Earth and Alagaësia.

angel’s face; what was your favorite bedtime story as a child? 

I.... did not have a favourite bedtime story as a child? My parents just read my random books... sometimes they were child friendly and sometimes it was advanced neuroanatomy... and they wonder who scared me off of being a doctor? Well, a medical doctor. I am a doctor.

My room is reorganized for tomorrow.  You would be amazed what it looks like at the end of day before I’ve reset everything.

[profcho]

“Wow, that is impressive. No matter what I do, my office always becomes a disaster after a day of having me in it. And the classrooms at the university are, uh, rarely that organized. Good luck maintaining it.”

[profcho]

“Could someone help me break into my tinder account? Dami set one up for me and locked me out so I can’t delete it. Smart, since I don’t want it. Kids, I swear.”

[profcho]

Is there something you miss about any of your exes?

Ahhhh. Now I see what Dami meant by anons going for the jugular. I mean, I love my wife very much so I miss pretty much everything, but especially family time. We didn’t get to have a lot of that before she left.

[profcho]

Are you active on social media, or do you prefer to be more private?

“I am not tech-illiterate, but my daughter frequently has to help me find things on my phone. So a side effect of that is that I don’t really do a whole lot of social media stuff, though I don’t think I would be on the Instagram or the twitters even if I was more tech savvy. Who cares what I had for dinner? I want to eat my food, not take a picture of it.”

Truth - What is the most embarrassing nickname you have ever had?

In grade school they called me “Kkang-chong-kkang-chong”, because I hopped like a rabbit... or it looked like I was hopping when I was talking. I had big feet so it took a while to grow into it and I was very awkward. Kkang-chong-kkang-chong is the sound of a rabbit hopping. I also had very big front teeth when I was little so that didn’t really help...

Truth - Tell us a story about a date that ended in disaster.

My aunt tried to set me up with this woman about two years after my wife left because her husband had also left her. She spent the whole date crying and I really hadn’t wanted to be there to begin with but she was very drunk and very clingy and she threw up in my glove box and told me, in a tone that indicated that she was being very serious, that I looked like Satan in a dress. I was not wearing a dress. It was very bizarre and I haven’t been on a date since.
