tinyparlancer replied to your post: I'm getting a kitten!!!!!!!
I demand photos
No photos yet but I’m having one out of four of black kittens, probably all female - totally identical. They’re currently 5 weeks old and they are so gorgeous! Am nervous/excited!
Edit: Obviously there will soon be LOTS OF PHOTOS.

I'm gonna steal this idea and the rules if you don't mind. Sounds great!
Go ahead! I’m probably going to blog it too, just have to decide on a tag and a format.

Sentence context? I’ll noodle it around and maybe I can hit on something
It pops up a few times. All spelling is [sic]. :P

I’m going to be distancing even more strictly for exactly those reasons. Because I have between three and eight weeks to go and SO HELP ME IF SOMEONE PASSES THIS DAMN THING ON TO ME (potentially risking my unborn child) OR MY HUSBAND (depriving me of the one person I want/can have at the birth) THEN THE RISK OF THE VIRUS WILL BE NOTHING IN COMPARISON TO MY RAGE
That’s a terrifying thought and I completely get that - good idea. It’s so irresponsible when NOTHING HAS GOT BETTER!!!!! Good luck!!

I’m so sorry. I can’t even imagine how hard that must be. I can’t really think of anything else to say, except I’m always here if you want to talk or vent. <3 <3 <3
Honestly, it’s the epitome of #firstworldproblems especially considering what else is going on at the moment but yeah, sometimes it is hard! *hugs* Not much anyone can do but I’m deeply grateful for my online friends at the moment. So very grateful.
tinyparlancer replied to your post: what's the name of the ballerina show????? i need...
Oooh tell me more!
find me in paris is a hulu show about russian princess star ballerina lena grisky. in 1905 she’s set to become the greatest ballerina ever! or something. except her parents find out she has a commoner boyfriend henri (probably french because look at that name, but everyone speaks in an english accent except for one american so imagine what you like!). so naturally they decide to bring her home. I mean, lbr there’s no real reason they should have sent their princess daughter to paris for 8 years in the first place. anyway, that’s when a necklace henri gave lena transports her to 2018! (he comes from a family of time travelers, of course.) now she has to learn how to fit in while henri tries to find her.
it’s designed (I think) for a younger audience, but it seems to be a decent quality. and the premise just seems so ridiculously over the top that I already love it.

Show all your classes every classics-related movie you can find… #winningatteachering
Today we finished watching Troy and watched Akala’s Odyssey (highly recommended - it’s on YouTube).
Year 10 Greek have requested Percy Jackson and the Sea of Monsters because they love how bad it is.
So yeah...
I just can’t believe it’s the 9th July and I am still writing tutor reports on five hours sleep.
I have literally never in my life still been working at this point in the summer. (I mean, serves me right for having a private school education and then teaching in a private school up till now. Still. I am SO OVER this year. And it’s all so much worse in the heat. The office is about five degrees hotter than outside. Classrooms not much better.)

Guy from the date on Saturday messaged me and...
Eh, lack of attraction is lack of attraction, and being demi doesn’t negate that. If you don’t even feel interest… It’s true that first meetings can be thwarted by jitters getting in the way of good conversation, but don’t feel obliged to go for round 2 if it was actually exhausting for you. Unless you feel from his online conversation that you might get along well and it could have been just a not good date - then by all means give it one more shot to see if things improve. But don’t feel bad
We’ve hardly had any online conversation. Just discussing meeting. I’d have felt more comfortable before Saturday tbh with some online banter so that I could gage his humour - or lack of it.
I think he was very nervous, as was I, and he definitely improved over the course of the time we spent together. By the end we were talking freely. But I was very consciously aware of trying very hard. I made him laugh a lot - I’m a funny person!!!! - but he didn’t make me laugh very much and he liked telling me lots of things I didn’t really care about but I pretended I did. But maybe I would have cared about them if I cared about the person telling me??? But there’s a vicious circle with this online dating thing! How can you care about a person when you don’t care about what they’re saying - and how can you care about what they’re saying if you don’t care about them???
(I’m talking neutral things here, like about his job; I’m not trying to say that I never care about anything anyone ever tells me unless I have a deep emotional bond with them!)
Like, you’re trying to acquire things in common but in a totally fake environment. It JUST. DOES. NOT. WORK.
I mean, clearly it does for a lot of people who form relationships from internet dating.
But it just doesn’t ring true for me.

If he likes that sort of thing, why not have an EH date? It’d be SO low pressure for both of you!
My friend, you underestimate my ability to find normal things that shouldn’t be at all pressurised extremely stressful! :P
