Dear Amazon.com,

Thank you for sending me a shiny, brand new "Ultimate Watchmen" Blu-ray to replace the one that was missing from my last shipment...and for sending it via UPS instead of the USPS...and doing so in a timely fashion. And not charging me for it.

It's nice to know there are still some establishments that handle problems quickly and effectively.

Your efforts are greatly appreciated.

~ Ariadne

P.S. In honor of my fabulous bounty, a new "quote of the moment" in my "components" section - "The accumulated filth of all their sex and murder will foam up about their waists and all the whores and politicians will look up and shout, 'Save us!'...and I'll look down, and whisper, 'No.'" ~ ♥Rorschach♥

Current Music: "You Quit!" from "Watchmen"

Dear whoever STOLE my fabulous gazillion-disk amazingly complete "Watchmen" Blu-ray,

I don't know if you work in the Amazon.com warehouse...or the post office...or if you live in my apartment building. But you better pray to whatever god(s) you worship that I never find you...because if I do, I will hunt you down and get Rorschach on your ass. And if you are in possession of my Blu-ray, I'm sure you've watched it by now...so you know exactly what that means.

Hell hath no fury like a pissed-off Ariadne, asshole.

That is all.

This week:
  • 1st marking period grades were due. Here's hoping I did everything right...
  • We had parent/teacher conferences on Wednesday from 1:30-4:30 and 7:00-9:30. Not nearly as bad as I thought it would be, but still a helluva long day.
  • A student told me I had "too much makeup on" the day of conferences. I had a little eyeliner, mascara, and light blue/white eyeshadow. Lesson for the day - when you never wear any makeup, you look like a whore when you put just a little on.
  • I discovered that I have a sidekick...well, 2 sidekicks. Long story short - the principal thinks that one of my friends is my sidekick, and a teacher argued that another friend was a sidekick. So I've officially declared them both sidekicks. Now all is right with the world.
  • Discovered a MASSIVE crack across my right contact lens...had to drive to my parents' house to get an old pair. The eye doctor won't order me any more because I haven't been there for 5 years. Whoops. Memo to self - make appointment with the eye doctor.
  • Signed the paperwork from my supervisor's observation. 2 down (both satisfactory - the highest rating you can get), 1 to go.
  • Wrote love on my arms for National "To Write Love On Her Arms Day" on Friday. Two students and a sidekick also wrote on my arms.
  • Spent today cleaning my apartment thoroughly.
Also - spent the day in NYC with my brother a couple weeks ago...saw his apartment, visited the comedy club where he works, went out to dinner...and saw "WICKED"!!! Which was totally amazing. Really, I thought it was exceptionally good. And my brother, who hates musicals, seemed to enjoy it as well. Amongst other things, I purchased a flying monkey...I probably wouldn't have even noticed it, but my brother had to point it out to me...and once I became aware of its existence, I knew I had to have one.

I was quite the celebrity at school yesterday, as one of the few people who dressed up.

We have a student body of over 1,000 kids, yet only maybe 20-30 actually wore costumes.  They seemingly loved mine, though...students beamed with pride as I walked down the hallway, and proudly proclaimed, "That's Miss Quinn.  She's my biology teacher."

And so, I got one more year out of my super-awesome vampire costume.  Sweet.

In other news - I have a migraine and am incredibly depressed.  I'm in no mood for the Halloween party I've promised to attend tonight.  *sigh*

...you're in the middle of class, telling a silly story, when one of your students spontaneously yells out, "Oh my God, Miss Quinn, I have the perfect guy for you!!!!"  The girl is clearly excited, ready and willing to share her moment of serendipity with the class...so I respond with, "Uh huh...sure...and that would be...?" because I think she's going to name some random guy who works at a gas station or her older brother or something.

But no.

She names the new art teacher.  You know...the one I'm madly in love with?  The one I declared my love for 2 weeks ago?  Yeah.  Him.

Wow. (And let me tell you...I turned a lovely shade of crimson while explaining that we're friends...and nothing more.)

It makes one pause and wonder, "If my students can see it...why can't he...?"

LOL

*sigh*

On that note, I bid you all a good night.

While I understand that it's not unusual for models to be fired for being "overweight," this goes above and beyond anything I've ever seen...read this article, if only to see the ridiculously distorted photoshop job they did:

Was the photoshopped Ralph Lauren model fired for being overweight?


I mean...are they serious?  That's disgusting and insulting...as is their excuse ("The image in question was mistakenly released").  How the hell do you accidentally release something like THAT?!?!?!?

*Note - As I write this, I'm literally eating a large bowl of chocolate ice cream...so fuck you Ralph Lauren.  I'm 5'6 1/2'', 130 pounds - I dare you to come over here and tell me to my face that I'm fat.  Just to see what happens...

Take a good look at the userpic I chose for this entry, my friends...

Today, in the midst of "Happy Hour" with my 3 favorite co-workers, I told my crush that I liked him.

And you know what?  I wasn't so far gone that I was a silly, drunken mess.  I made a conscious decision - now or never.

So, when he had to leave early to go meet a group of friends, I walked him out...we talked for a bit outside, then I went to his car...and said, "Listen, I need to say this, and I know I'm going to feel like an idiot on Monday...but I'm madly in love with you."  I went on to explain that I'm not REALLY madly in love with him (he knows me well enough to know that I exaggerate), but I wanted to put it out there...

He was kinda like, "Yeah...no kidding..." and then I gave him an easy out - told him to go join his friends, and went back to the bar.

So...don't know what's going to happen.  He's actually a pretty cool guy, and I don't think this will affect our friendship in the likely event that he's not interested.  But I'm glad I said it...I'm actually proud that I said it.  I don't like playing games and stuff...I like to lay it all out on the table.

Whatevs.

After he left, my friend Billy (aka - my Jacob) showed up (I had been texting him about what I should do) for moral support.  He was actually gonna pull my would-be BF aside himself and say...I don't know...tell him something.  But he left before Billy got there.  I gotta give Billy props for the awesome devotion he exhibited.  In fact, I was a bit miffed the other night for having to " take care" of one of my friends, and although I didn't say anything, I realized that I'm kinda sick of the whole "being the responsible one who has to take care of everyone all the time."  Billy showing up reminded me that there are a few people out there who are ready and willing to take care of me, even when I refuse to ask for it. 

I'm also really glad he got to meet my other co-workers...

And now...I'm out.  It was a very long week...
