Phrases That Are Probably Cooler To Me Than To You

That's fine.

That guy just salted my game.

That makes me want to die.

Don't do that, it's a trap!

(The state of being) Rickroll'd.

That's just another sign that robots are taking over.

I am slow cookin' in here (can be used in a hot tub or just a hot room situation, but I think the hot tub one implies more of the crock pot imagery).

Twhat?!

First of all, if you haven't seen The Social Network trailer, watch this (don't get me started on the legitimacy of a movie about Facebook (a "company" that hasn't even been around for 10 years...)):


Secondly, watch this parody of the above trailer:


Okay, here's my deal with Twitter (cause I know you're all dying to hear my opinion about it, don't be shy, it's okay to admit to an Elspeth dependency), I think it's stupid and boring like the trailer said. But besides the fact that there's really no point to it, I could still probably get into it because I like to be in the know of what my favorite celebrities are doing. However the mere thought of all of those updates just makes me tired. I went on it once to look up stuff about The LXD and I was hit with information overload. I don't even know how to decipher what people are saying, there are too many symbols (soon we won't have to worry about mechanical robots taking over the world because we'll all be speaking binary code (aka we'll be the robots)). Not to mention the fact that even if I only follow one person I still will have to know who all the rest of the people are who post on their page, or else I'll be totally lost. It just seems like too much work, so I don't do it... and there is the philosophy of my life.

Cerebellumed!

It's official, I am once again suckered into loving children that aren't mine, and are actually kind of annoying... What is it about kindergarteners who don't know how to be quiet, haven't figured out how a lunch line works, or can't even remember their full names that just gets me in my emotions heart? This year we have 28 kids, one of which is probably special ed and still wears a diaper, and after spending 4 hours with them instead of being brought almost to insanity (which any sane person would be so maybe it's already happened) I'm actually elated. My guess is that either I've found my calling in life or I've gotten to the point where my body is trained not to feel exhaustion. Suffice it to say, I love kindergarten, although I'm not in an ESL class anymore and I kinda miss the diversity. Still, life is good when I get to hang out with crazy kids all morning!

You know, I never really understood the poster that said, "All I really need to know I learned in kindergarten" until I started this job. Being at school for the first time really sets you up for life. You have to be trained on so many things, like how to stand in line, how to treat other people in large settings, respect, and a myriad of other social cues that I could probably name for days. The amount of societal structure learned in the first few months of kindergarten is pretty insane. I just got a little nervous...

If you send your kid to my classroom and they come back thinking singing out loud is just what you do when there's nothing else going on I'm probably going to deny I had any involvement, but feel free to blame me anyway (I really can't help it).
