I am one of Time Magazine’s persons of the year!

Sunday, December 17th, 2006

And if you are reading this, then SO ARE YOU!

Internet users like you and me are named Time Magazine’s persons of the year!

Specifically citing the phenomenon of user-generated content that exploded this year on YouTube and MySpace and all things blogged and broadcasted, Time magazine’s managing editor, Richard Stengel, said “We felt there wasn’t a single person who embodied this phenomenon.”

The real cover hits stands tomorrow with a reflective mirror on it. Go look at yourself!

Miss I can hook you up!

Tuesday, December 12th, 2006

setting : out of nowhere in the middle of a lesson, one irrelevant random question leads me off topic and into an embarrassing ( and yet amusing ) conversation.

student : ”Miss did you get a haircut?”
me : ”Oh yes…”
student : “Cuz you needed one. Looks nice.”
me : ”Oh, I know. I did. Thank you. I mean, you really shouldn’t…”
student :“Miss are you married?”
me : ”No - ”
student : “Why not? You’re so pretty.”
me :  “Oh that’s very sweet but…”
student : “Do you have a boyfriend?”
me :  “No.”
student : “Why not?”
me :  “I don’t know. I just don’t.”
student : “But why?”
me :  “I used to but not anymore.”
student : “Why what happened?”
student :“Did he cheat on you?”
me :  “Uh, no, it just didn’t work out.”
student : ”He totally cheated on you, didn’t he?”

student : “I can hook you up, Miss.”
student : “Yeah she can get you on singles.com.”
me :  “Oh thank you, but really, I’m OK -”
student : “Do you have myspace pictures?
student : ”She can hook you up with mad pictures, miss.” 
student : “Do you pose?”
student : “Yeah you gotta pose.”
me :  ”OK then that’s enough of the 411 on me, folks…”
