You know that table quiz I went to last night? Dude, we won! Major surprise from all who find this out, including the other team from the school, not to mention HelsinkiMammy and HelsinkiDaddy... and pretty much the whole pub really. Came from nowhere, then all of a sudden we were in third, and then with one round to go, the quizmaster (Ray) says that table three are winning... then looks at us and goes, "What table are you?" When we told him, into the microphone, he said he was stunned. Our reaction? "So are we!"
Today, the kids had their end of year school mass... which means that my class are gone for the last week of school. Ssssh, don't tell the Department. They went on a half day today, the rain held off as we had our Tree Planting Ceremony (this afternoon, we had thunder, lightning, and, I swear to God, hailstones. In June.) And the girl who was picked to do the Communion Reflection (an hour before the mass, because the girl who was picked didn't want to read, was bitching about it all week and didn't come in today - coincidence? I think not) read perfectly, bless her.
And best thing about the day? For the hour and a half before the mass, one of the other teachers rented a video for the classes. Without any input from me, what did he rent?
Cheaper By the Dozen So Joanne gets a text message at half nine this morning which basically reads, "I'm in school, and we're watching
Cheaper by the Dozen. I love sixth class in June" I mean, seriously... today I got paid to watch Tom Welling. I love my job! (Though when he's walking around with no shirt on, and just on the screen looking lovely, and there are about 60 kids in the room, and I can't be all squealing fangirl? Not so easy)
Seeing as I've been bugging
medie and
azarsuerte about writing their various AUs, I suppose it's karma that I got bitten by an AU bunny of my own. I swear, I'm starting the Jake 2.0
Middleman fic, when all of a sudden a notion for a brand-new set of AUs comes up and bites me? That's not fair!
So, in an effort to stave them off, I give
Alias fic, sheer fluff, born to cheer up my sister when she just watched one of her favourite characters die a meaningless death. Watching the Savage Garden DVD to cheer herself up, she dared me to write a fic based on
Chained to You -- lord help me, I did.
