In which the author obeys her new fans' request for a "Shout Out"
IT HAS COME TO MY ATTENTION
that certain students of a certain high school in a certain neighborhood well-beloved of this author have become, ahem, aware of this blog. Not only are they aware, but they have created an entire FACEBOOK PAGE devoted to said author's beloved Life Partner, and are now brandishing said Facebook Page (access to which is blocked for our Hapless Heroes) as BLACKMAIL FODDER in order to achieve some sort of RECOGNITION on this our very personal internet forum.
SO. We have reached an impasse. We must strike a deal.
And so. Freshly aware of my responsibilities to impose the RIGHT sorts of influences on young minds, I display for you some VERY IMPORTANT LINKS that you should imbibe, my young friends, and hold in your hearts as you venture off in search of your respective Brilliant Futures. In return for your careful and thoughtful perusal of these links, I will in return offer you several possibly unknown facts about your Beloved Teacher.
Raymi: 
Lest you think she is just some hot Canadian chickie who posts exquisite photos of her food and her whimsical cat, let me assure you that she is in fact a sharp-shooter of a writer and a comic genius to boot. I have never read anything ever that made me feel so *okay* about myself and my hatred of annoying seat-kicking, wrapper-crackling movie-theater patrons.

Is the kind of editor you would want to have if you were ever out adrift in the blogging/journalism world. The LA Times thinks so, and so do I.
Honor Student
Because Coach Wiener is brilliant. And also they hang out with me at work and I heart them.
This song:
Because they are tops on my interview list.
Patrick O'Dell
go to New York and come back and talk to me when you're famous.
THIS RECORDING
Go to Brown and come back to me when you have created the perfect blog.
p.s. Jacob Soboroff also went to your school and he is pretty rad.
p.p.s. I don't even have to give a shout-out to
laist, do I? Nope didn't think so.
SO NOW WHAT WE'VE ALL BEEN WAITING FOR:
1) Yes he really does play video games all the time. Yes we have approximately ten consoles and hundreds of games. Yes I don't mind at all.
2) If he were left to his own devices he would eat only: 1) his own arm. 2) Microwavable Hot Pockets. 3) Take-out Indian food.
3) But yes, he loves to eat and will try anything, including escargots, which we enjoyed recently.
4) I am not allowed to talk about tattoos.
5) Yes we have an entire room in our apartment that is just for books, and he might actually have more than I do.
6) His favorite things to do on the weekends are go to Costco and visit my parents. He's a liar if he says different.
7) Babies and dogs love him and want to stare into his eyes.
8) Yes he does everything I tell him to do.
9) Yes he loves his job. Seriously. He speaks VERY highly of his students, he knows they work hard, and he is happy to go to work every day and hang out with cool, smart kids. (As am I. Except different kinds of kids.)
OKAY ARE YOU HAPPY NOW. Actually if you haven't noticed we are quite boring and old and we love to stay home on the couch and watch Food Network (oh but also I am kind of awesome and a big deal if you haven't noticed that either). (SO BE NICE cause I have the internet on my side.)
Sigh I don't know, I told you we were boring, what else do you want to know?
