My Cardboard Balcony

Tonight, I got to play Cards Against Humanity with friends, drink tea, wrap presents, and recline on the couch while listening to smooth jazz renditions of Christmas music. That's what I want to focus on. That's what I want to remember. I want to enjoy the holiday season as much as I can. I hope all of you are having a calming and enjoyable December, regardless of what you do or do not celebrate. Have a great night and a great weekend, everyone.

Beast Hunting Versus Classroom Management by Belinda Roddie During my personal day, I decided to slay a dragon.

I didn't know if I should send her a letter, or fire out an e-mail, or try to communicate with her in any other fashion. All I knew was that I was madly in love with her, and the art of confession was not an easy one to master. I wound up saying nothing, stewing over my feelings, if only to make sure she was happy. She was married, anyway, and my stepping in and spilling my guts would have been more harmful than beneficial. I said nothing for six years. And after those six years, after her divorce, she asked me out for a drink.
