*hug* I know babe. I'm sorry. Don't feel too bad for Alex, at lest he gets to be himself.

“Bay…” Alex was walking his fingers over my chest as we lay in the sun soaked grass, it was unseasonably hot for January. “I know you’re awake.” A fly began to buzz around near my face, and I waved it away without opening my eyes. “Go back to sleep.” Fingers trailed over my chest, skimming the rough edge of my jeans, picking at the seams of my fly. Alex’s breath was hot on my neck, and a small part of me wondered how he could want to go again already. “Bay…” I opened my eyes and smiled up a

*hugs* Would you believe that Rose and Thorn are actually real people?

Bay and alex next. i promise

Just before midnight the South Alaska was rammed. We’d been full since we opened, it was a nice hot sunny day and the people staying out after work to drink were crossing over with those who had come out for drinks before clubbing and everywhere was full. James and I had been so rushed off our feet, that neither of us had been able to take a break until Batty arrived and when Sal got there at ten, we shoved her behind the bar for half an hour so that James could smoke and I could run upstairs, c

nah, Wilton becomes a rockstar.I missed Shelby too actually, i need to add a little bit and write her and Wilton's futures in before we publish. thank you for your lovely compliments.

my man is as far away from being either of my parents as it is possible to be, but i am very much like his sister and have LOADS in common with both of his parents. Does this say more about him or about me?

Alright people, this came up in discussion the other day at the pub and it got me thinking. I am very proud of not having guilty pleasures. I feel no shame in telling my friends that I love Glee, or that I listen to Nickelback out of choice, or that i think Taylor Swift rocks. These are all things i feel no shame in. But as it turns out, I do have a guilty pleasure that i don't share with my friends (and no, it's not GA) I watch Say Yes to the Dress on Youtube. why, i have no idea, but i have seen every available episode. it is not something i can explain rationally. but there you go, there's my guilty pleasure. Sharing time!

Won't get the evening, will have to take what counts as the last train back home. Got permission from my boy to come up though, he doesn't mind me running away for the day, though the horse might! Trying to arrange trains...i hate public transport.

you'll just have to wait for the next flashback to find out won't you? I am cruel...

thank you sweetie. see, I'm not mean to him all the time.

one point, you are correct!Also, generally thanks. him and Alex are kind of squishy cute aren't they?

ooohhh the drama continues! love that you love. thanks for supporting the non-edit

Not that you need telling, but you are doing a great job. Thousands of parents do right by their kids every day and teach them read to them, tell them things and generally be awesome parents. Unfortunately there are millions of parents out there really screwing up their kids, or ignoring them (debate about which of these things is worse: wrong knowledge or no knowledge?) and those are the kids the education system has to be designed for, there are so many more of them. I try and do the best by each kid i teach. Some can cope with long projects (OwD, nicest 15 year old boy on the planet is a great example of this) and some just can't. Good teachers personalise their teaching and their lessons, just like a parent would (eg, what my parents did for me was not the same as what they did for my ASD, Dyslexic brother) Bizzarely my friend (who teaches secondary maths) has been asked by her 4 year-olds teacher to stop teaching her to read because the school want them to learn in phonics not real letters. She rightly told them where to stick their advice. Anyway, i feel we have sort of gone off topic a bit. Teachers = can be good, can be bad ipads = can be good, can be bad ipads instead of teachers = disaster waiting to happen

They say it's the legal wording and they won't change it for love, money or threats. we are writing our own vows though!

on the home screen all the read was "After four long days of non-sleep you are" and i had quite a good start for that until i read the rest of the entry. dang it!

I punched the air as I crossed the finish line, six lengths ahead of the nearest runner, a guy who attended the other major school in town. I jogged ahead a little, curved off to where I could see our coach, my parents and the rest of the school’s supporters cheering. I won, and I won well, five miles of cross country through fields and woodland and I came in a safe first. Coach was ecstatic, clapped me around the shoulders before anyone else and told me how proud he was. After that it was all

Just had a fight with our registrar about this. Legal wording the in UK still says that at my own fucking wedding i have to hear the words "marriage is an agreement between one man and one woman" Anyone knows me well knows i am Chaotic Gender Neutral. I don't really want to have either of those labels. not on MY own bloody wedding day. Also, I showed this photo to several of the kids at school, who all went "awwwww!"

I read that article, they had a copy in the TES (teachers newspaper) over here. the kids are great at 5 minutes tasks and awful at coursework generally because by the time they get to 14 they have never been asked to concentrate on one subject for more than like a week and we make them focus on one (quite complex) thing for like 6 months. a lot of them really can't cope well. Modern teaching exploits this whole "pace" thing but it really lets the kids down when they move on to HE and work because they get bored really easily.

What I am saying is, using ipads or not isn't going to change how well children learn. All it will do is possibly reduce the amount of paper in the classroom. Good teachers teach well regardless of the tools involved. Most studies agree that the fewer children per teacher, the better their education is. this is true in private schools where children have access to all sorts of technology in the educational lives. the answer is more better trained and motivated teachers and not keeping bad, lazy teachers on payroll just because they have tenure. also, Lugh, your 5 year old is one smart kid, well done. But he will be the exception to the rule unfortunately.

sorry hun, you get one every day though, I promise!I'll let you know when i finish writing it. xxx

Zupan was a dick long before he got stuck in that chair.Also, Issac is an only child...my cloning machine is broken

the three years between an 18 year old and a 15 year old are massively important. one is a child, one can vote, drink, drive and join the army. my point stands.

you only have to wait 24 hours. patience is a virtue my dear

Spend a year teaching ICT and computing to secondary school kids. I have all the credible experience you could need. Ask them to find stuff on Tumblr, not a problem. Ask then to research three different ways they can develop a recipe and you get a lot of kids typing "three ways to develop sacher torte" into google and getting no usable results.
