i am here to be your hero, with a perfect body, straight teeth, and strings swelling every time i bleed.

yes. its true. the title is referring to me, just to clarify for all of those who were wondering. actually, i lied. i don't have a perfect body, but my teeth are somewhat straight, thanks to the amazing technological advances in dentistry and orthodontistry (is that a word?). i do hear strings swelling, jerking tears from the eyes of onlookers, whenever i do hurt, but whether or not they are truly there is yet to be determined.

yesterday i was a substitute teacher for a friend named susan over at sms, yet the students were high school students enrolled in some weird program named upward bound, not to be confused with dctalk's heaven bound, which is completely different and induces vomiting blood and leprosy. well, during the course of the day, some students mentioned that i was cute, and when susan returned for her last class, she said that some students liked the sub because he was cute (referring to me). why cant i find girls my age that will tell me that i am cute? i mean, i know my main goal as an educator is to make sure that my students are physically attracted to me. afterall, that is the main reason i wanted to be a teacher: so i could have fifteen year old girls fawning over me. not really. although, i must admit that it is a bit flattering. but like i said before, i would much rather have girls my age telling me that they find me attractive. for example, the cute waitress at the lounge should talk to me and let me know that she is interested in me, then i can ask for her number, rather than asking when she walks away and is unable to hear my utterances.

on a side note, i just got back from new york on sunday. i took some tests that were most likely a waste of my time and money, but they were easy. i also had a few opportunities to see my nephew, caleb, who is three months old. i always knew that i would like my own kids, but never really liked other people's kids. however, i suppose since he is family, i love my nephew. i am gonna miss him. i was surprised by how much i truly enjoyed holding him and singing to him so he would calm down and go to sleep. it hurt to let him go and i just hope that he can somehow remember me and remember looking into my eyes for the majority of the ride back home from the crimson crustacean. but he is moving to virginia, along with his mom and dad. i will not be moving to virginia. at least not as of right now. chicago seems more appealing, and i hope i like it there.

on another side note, bram stroker's dracula is a great book. if you like vampires, then i suggest you read it. if you don't like vampires, then you should still read it cause they kill vampires. i like reading about vampires and also watching well-made movies about such a topic (like interview with a vampire, but not any of the blade movies). the un-dead are just entertaining. but i don't think that snape is a vampire, like some believe. that's just unacceptable.
