lovely lovely

lyrics and song.
don't watch me dancing by little joy.

*
Margarita has a strange appeal
Sways between suitors on a broken heel
Of course her desires they always mistook
She'd rather've been scarred than be scarred with looks (?)

In conversation she often contends
Costumes build customs that evolve dead ends
She found her courage in a change of scene
This Sunday social would be short its queen

All her best years spent distracted
By these tired reenactments
With the right step she'll try her chances
Somewhere else

There he is a step outside her view
Reciting the words he hoped she might pursue
Night upon night a faithful light at shore
If he'd only convince his legs across the floor

Please, don't watch me dancing
Oh no, don't watch me dancing

Something changes when she glances
Enough to teach you what romance is
With the right step they try their chances
Somewhere else

Please, don't watch me dancing
Don't watch me dancing

i'm an alien.

the only thing to fear...

so i was just putting some things in my new desk drawer when i came across a clipped stack of little papers. they're kind of like flashcards. on them: fears. i should be familiarizing myself with lesson plans, but instead i cut the cards and picked out a few that i thought were worth picking out.

Ergophobia: Fear of work.
(ahem..)

Belonephobia: Fear of pins and needles.

Peccatophobia: Fear of sinning.

Optophobia: Fear of opening your eyes.
(sad)

Decidophobia: Fear of making decisions.
(ahem ahem...)

Brontophobia: Fear of thunder.

Gynephobia: Fear of women.

Phobophobia: Fear of your own fears.

other relics of teachers past in the new desk drawer:
listerine, gluestick, french vanilla cappucino mix, stickers, chalk, wooden chopsticks, and 4 sunkist candies.
make that 3.
chomp.

back to the future.

settling in.
pictures to come.
i forgot how much
i love these kids.
