Jail or free-wheeling inbreeding

My week has been crazy, but wonderful. Matt and I went to the Art Festival in Dahlonega last weekend. I'll post some pics when I'm not exhausted.

Part of my exhaustion stems from the fact that we got in after midnight last night from seeing Wicked at The Fox in Atlanta. It was AMAZING. I'm telling you, it rocked.

The story in the musical is significantly different from the novel, if you've read it. Less dark. Less adult. But wonderful. There are parts that are happy that were good sad in the book, but the show was great as a whole anyway. The girl playing Glinda plays her JUST like Karen from Will and Grace. That was so perfect. I'm still on a high from the show.

I also got this wonderful shirt. :)



That's all for now!

Am I wrong, people?

The production was fabulous. The stage was amazing. The acting and singing were outstanding. High school quality from Middle school kids... but something was just... off...

That is right... Matt and I were about halfway into the opening number, "Hard Knock Life" when I realized it.

About fifty or so elementary kids joined the middle school kids onstage for the number. They were dressed as orphans, right down to their raggedy, old... wait a moment... Timberlands!? And is the kid on the back row carrying a Vera Bradley handbag?

Yes, my county is one of the top three per capita income counties in the state. I work on the rich end of the county. I just started snickering and passed on the knowledge to Matt and the teachers we accompanied.

Yeah, hard knock life alright. Pooey!

Side note:

I dislike Vera Bradley handbags. They are around $60, but look like they came from the cosmetic department at Walmart.

I was talking with someone I know about how he thought that no one would know who india.arie is, but how I am familiar... I mean, come on!

As an English teacher, I try to know people who try to equate themselves with grammatical/syntactical/punctuatory renegagdes like e.e. cummings... No one can really measure up...however...

I think I am going to add a superfluous bit of punctuation to my name. How do you like Jenn!fer?

Or maybe "Jennifer". I think I'll just do that, that way I could claim to be deep and just using it to merely represent my essence, rather than actually trying to contain my soul with an earthly label. Or some crap like that.

On a side note: Do not watch two back-to-back History Channel Documentaries before going to sleep if the first one is about the DaVinci Code and the second is about the Antichrist (no, I don't mean Dubya, just the Church's historical idea of him). You will not get much rest. In fact you may dream that you believe yourself to be the antichrist, only to find out that you are, in all actuality, quite the opposite; you are a daughter in the bloodline of Jesus, and when vampires (!) attack you while you lack holy water, your spit will work just fine because you are yourself holy. I'm not making this up people.

Also, don't lose your immunization records. If you get accepted to a graduate program, as I did recently, you will have to get a tetanus shot. My arm is sore, swollen, and has a fever!

My first class was fabulous, and I think I'm going to enjoy it and do much better academically this go-round. I actually care now, and it's what I want to do with my life for sure. :) I'm getting my M.Ed. in Special Education, Interrelated from North Georgia College and State University. I'll finish in the winter of '07 and hopefully get accepted to UGA's Ph.D. program for Educational Admin. and Public Policy. One day, maybe I, too, can be like my idol, former Georgia Educational Superintendent Linda Shrenko, and steal millions of dollars from already underfunded educational programs. :)

Gosh I need some sleep! Have a good night!

Ok, fine. I'll do this too. I did the face recognition thing.

I'm simultaneously pleased and appalled.

I'm appalled b/c it says I'm a man. I'm pleased because that man is Jimmy Page.



However here are the others that it suggested from this same photo:








This is the one that hurt the most...



Those people are walking on thin ice (hehe, get it?)
