Room for one more on this bandwagon of love?
Here's hoping this one works out!
I am excite.
Also special thanks to my main nerd @draiman, and to @serrice, @toz, @trikal, and sweet, sweet Baby Jesus in his willow basket.
This week one of the schools I've been at this week, and a few times before, managed to get the central booking office to relocate my other jobs so that they could hog me for themselves (just about) for three more weeks! The teachers were all "Oh yay! If YOU'RE going to be here things will turn out great! That's such a relief" and some of the students actually cheered when they heard I'd be sticking around. Apparently some of them like me more than their ordinary teacher.
So, yay for steady job for three weeks, knowing where to go and being able to plan the lessons for real!
Love too, for @Oleis, @Razmael, @Keroc, and of course, @Dristin.
Ok, I think I'm done.
Lots of love to @Rivas @Roux @Kallah who have done A LOT of behind the scenes work to help out in getting the Lum's going again.
Love to THE ADMIN PEOPLE FOR THE EVENT. Thank you, @Silena have some love. (Thank you to all the other Admin who had a huge input on it.) It was interesting and unpredictable and strange and, overall, very neat. The end product is great.
I've kept it quite for a long time, 'cause I'm not sure the world is ready for the news yet. But now, after agreements in the family, we will go public with the news.
I actually got my daughter 16 years ago, but we didn't know it then. She was born with a dangling thing between her legs and we all just assumed she was a boy. We were obviously wrong, she's told us that and to us - if you disregard a big thing, that she dared to open up to us - it's a small change in our lives. I've got a daughter instead of a son. And I couldn't be more proud.
For those of you who haven't quite grasped it yet, this is about Edwin, who for 16 years believed she was a boy because everyone told her so. But after a lot of thinking we realized this was wrong. We believe it's so strong to stand up and correct not only me and her mother, but relatives, friends, doctors and everyone else who's passed through our lives these years.
Edwin will change her name to Sofia, and change her surname from XX to YY. Sofia will probably keep one of her middle-names, which one has not been decided.
Sofia chose her name herself - changing her surname is also her decision.
"I have always been a girl, I've just not always known it. Now I want you all to know it too." / Sofia
If you have questions, ask them on Facebook, send a text or call. But I ask that you all show your outmost respect for Sofia in this.
I will also warn that despite the fact that respect is not necessary, those who will not support Sofia in this will no longer be a part of our lives.
Finally.. Welcome Sofia - Thank you for trusting me, trusting us, as a family.
/Your father."
1. The day is beautiful, the world is greening up, and the birds and animals are back out in force.
2. I got a really pretty cardigan yesterday and some other things on sale, I love spring clothes because they are light and airy.
3. Class, despite how much work and how much I bitch about it, is going decent.
4. Love to: The Luminaries, @Aithene, @Rivas, @Aryanne - You three are wonderful and you have helped Mariena break out of a cycle that was poisonous and into something beautiful, natural, and honest. I
@Phendegwen - You still the best father type, despite how much they argue
@Tenshyo, @Jami, @Yoshera, @Benedicto, @Aren, @Mughrek, @A lot of other people: You have made my playing experience wonderful and I also
5. Aetolia in general: I have felt like hell since February, with good days and bad. You have always managed to perk my mood up and give me something to think about besides being a hot mess. Thank you for being my reprieve from all this real life nonsense.
6. OOC Hearts: @Valenae, @Gideon, @Rashar, @Areka, @Aisling @others - We don't interact much or at all in game, but I
Excellent documentary on an unmade adaptation of Dune. I highly recommend it. Something to be said for broken dreams and the creative process as a whole.
Do want rank transferred over though.
I'M GOING TO THE US THIS SUMMER!
I was set as a reserve for a language trip to the States, but wasn't sure how many were ahead of me. Apparently I was first in line to get it, so it looks like I'll have an AWESOME time! It's not a pleasure trip. I still have to tend to my students 24 hours a day, every day for three full weeks.
But!
I will get paid to visit the following places on our Coast to Coast experience trip:
- Los Angeles
- Universal Studios
- Las Vegas
- Grand Canyon
- Jeep tour in Monument Valley
- Carlsbad Caverns
- New Orleans
- Swamp tour in New Orleans
- Washington DC
- New York
- Empire State Building
I literally can't even right now!
*happy dance*
And lots of water.

I feel like I should thank Aetolia for this. Love you all. (Mostly)
