Actual email I sent out today

To: Ms. Fifth Grade

Subject: context for the screaming in the hall

I was looking for a teacher and Brixton told me where I would most likely find her. I thanked him and left. I have no idea why this prompted Johnstyn to run into class yelling “BRIXTON GOT REJECTED!”

Sorry for the absolute chaos that followed.

Regards,

Ms. Cat

me: why is nobody complimenting me on my outfit

the chemically preserved head of a giant bat that i keep on my desk: PERHAPS IF YOU WORE SOMETHING THAT MATCHED YOUR SHIRT BETTER YOU WOULD GET MORE COMPLIMENTS. AUTUMN COLORS ARE MORE YOUR STYLE

Highlight of the day: listening to teens inadvertently create a hodgepodge Arthurian Legend/Biblically inspired game of DnD with Chess pieces at work.

They were absolutely supposed to probably be revising or doing some homework, but their story telling was wonderful. As was their infectious enjoyment.

I'll make casual small talk with a patron and then go back to my desk like "Oh my god that was crazy I can't believe I did that. That was insane. Holy shit I did it" every time

“ Don’t think, Master Jim. Become. “

I bring upon ye—Jim fanart!

Not sure what possessed me at this moment but I just thought it’d be cool to do something with him (and give him cool armour ehehheeh).

Me: hm, I want something to put on the TV as background noise... Huh. Looks like YouTube is recommending something called The Last Unicorn. That's perfect, it's probably some old shitty animation that has aged poorly! I can watch it ironically!

Me, 2 hours later as the credits roll: *crying, cheering, buying the book, composing the songs*

Me, 2 weeks later: So I have compiled all of the quotes from the book that I think could make good tattoos, and also, HOW HAVE I NEVER LEARNED ABOUT HOW THE LAST UNICORN FUCKING SLAPS??? This gay-ass little fairytale fed my soul! Watered my crops! Transed my gender! Can't believe I heard of this story from youtube recommendations, of all places!!

Did you know that the eyes of frankenstein's monster are yellow, and that Frankenstein rejected him for it? Angela and Ayin's eyes are also yellow. The monster actively chooses to murder several people just to exact his petty revenge, blaming his creator for his actions.

The way Angela is willing to receive lots and lots of guests just to find the one true book, does that seem a little familiar to you?

For whatever cause, the ends do not justify the means. They are both monsters of their own stories, until they both decide to break this cycle.

As much as I would LOVE for my first grade group to sit down and be quiet, I find it concerning when that's all one of the boys wants to do today. Especially when we're playing with magnets.

And the counselor's out today, too.

He said he was fine, but I still let him lie down and read on the window seat since he didn't even feel like coloring. Hope it's just the Valentine's Blues and not something more serious.

Today I had to look up a movie for somebody, and I had only had the first half of the title

Nothing could have emotionally prepared me for 'and then the bigfoot'
