So last night, I had some of the most awesome customers ever. They were not only really sweet and funny and turned out to know the dudes from Mac Hall, but they told me about THIS:

Okay, so I'm having all these baking adventures, but I figure this journal is probably not the place for it. SO, I have created myself a blog for the food.

The Bun Also Rises

So if you want to read about me and That 70's Mixer and my brother's man-crush on Alton Brown, that's where it'll be.

In fact, the assistant principal of the school loved me SO MUCH that she said that if for some reason their principal wanted to hire one of the other candidates, she would call other assistant principals and tell them to hire me, because she thought I would be a fantastic asset to any school in the system.

SO! Given that it's 5:30 and I haven't heard back today, I'm assuming I'll get a call on Monday telling me for sure. But...it looks good. Looks really good!

FTH: OotP [

It seems like such a small thing to have the Order come together over, but I have to say that Dedalus Diggle being all freaking crazy and the Order's response to it has given me a much better understanding of those characters and what their concerns are in a battle-type situation and how they function as an organization than any journal entries or discussions so far.

Also, I am really, really enjoying the Wireless Underground plot that we just kicked off with Ted and Gretchen and have now added Ted's buddy Betty into. It's developing really naturally and we're going to get to do some really fun things with it, and I'm really excited about it.

And while we're at it - playing a 713 year old vampire with a penchant for storytelling is really fun. I'm having a blast with Angus MacDougal. He is too, too much.

So what I'm saying is, y'all...you really need to join Find The Horcruxes ([info]find_the_mod), because it's freaking awesome. It's active, it's got interesting big plot, it's got interesting little plot, and there are so many different angles from which you can enjoy it.

Some things we could really use: Death Eaters, some My Ministry Right or Wrong types, characters older than their early-to-mid-twenties, and y'all...we are the one game in the world that has significantly more MEN than WOMEN. So if you're dying to play a girl, this is a great place.

Some things that would really make me personally happy:
Caoimhe Sullivan ([info]pronouncedkeeva), librarian and Order spy, would love to have Marion Banges around from the Hufflepuff class of '71, and so would Marion's little sister Addie ([info]shebanges)!. She'd also love to see any of the other staff of Brookstanton Memorial Library.

Ted Tonks ([info]gratefulted), Wireless producer, would love to have coworkers besides Gretchen Davies ([info]singlemum) and Ernie MacMillan ([info]ernestmac) at The Wizarding Wireless Network. He'd also be happy to have ANY housemates from the Ravenclaw class of '70.

Angus MacDougal ([info]madangus), 713 year old Scottish vampire, would love to have some eeeeeevil vampires around for him and Nick Harrow ([info]nickatnight) to hate, or a Fenrir Greyback. (Remus Lupin ([info]lykanthropos) would be excited to have a Greyback around, too.) He would also love to have any of his many-times-great-grandchildren who went to Hogwarts in play - there are both male and female ones available. I especially recommend Madog "Mad Dog" MacDougal (Gryffindor '69) or Gwendolyn MacDougal (Ravenclaw '68, yearmate with Molly and Arthur Weasley).

Sarah Cornfoot ([info]zencheerleader), Hufflepuff stay-at-home-mum, would be happy to have ANY house or year-mates from the class of '65. She and her little brother John Dawlish ([info]explicate) would also be happy to have big brother Michael Dawlish (a severely injured Cursebreaker) in game.

Gideon Prewett ([info]zoomzoomzoom), newly minted Master Broomsmith, would be really excited to have the Master who taught him the craft (Ian Flaherty) or Ian's son Patrick Flaherty (with whom he's been working for the past few years) in the game. No game canon information about them except name and profession, so the doors are wide open for fun.

Come and join the fun, folks, for it is made of awesome.

I am enjoying this way too much.

Based on Character Applications:

Wordle: Hermione at RLA

Rolf, Seamus, Angus, and Caoimhe )

And I tried some using gdocs logs, too, just to see what happened:

Wordle: Seamus/Lisa

~A Positive Meme~: Say something nice about a) a character of mine, b) a log of mine, or c) my writing/RPing style. Don't have to do all three, and it doesn't have to be long, but be kind with the intent of making me smile! Post in your journal, and I'll do the same for you and yours.

The word is officially in: I've been Recommended For Hire by the DC Public Schools Recruitment and Selection Team.

So now we've just got to figure out what school I'm going to.

My students attempt to cheer me up. [
May 8th, 2009; 6:30pm
]
I went in to work with the flu (for the record, not the swine flu/N1H1/whatever we're calling it now) today, so for today's Question of the Day, I posted "Miss Yuhas feels miserable today, because she has the flu. Tell her something good to cheer her up and get her through the rest of this miserable day." I stuck around for 1st period and then went home after my planning, and I've been sleeping for the past five hours. The responses were actually very sweet, for the most part, but some of them are hilarious (especially the one who wrote me an ode). Here's what I woke up to read from my kids:

sorry you have the swine hope you for the better. )

Apparently I'm EXCELLENT. [
April 20th, 2009; 2:50pm
]
Y'all remember when I took the Praxis? Well, not only did I pass, but I got an Official Recognition of Excellence for my score on the Content Area Knowledge section. That means I scored in the top 15% of all test-takers who took this assessment in previous years. So yeah! I have a shiny certificate. (And I passed the pedagogy section, even though I didn't do awesomely enough on it to get a certificate.)

Two thoughts [
April 20th, 2009; 11:16am

1. Formally: in a formal manner; officially.
Formerly: previously; in the past.

2. Closed-minded: Having one's mind closed to certain possibilities or ideas. Note how "closed" is the opposite of "open"
Close-minded: Would have to be the opposite of far-minded.

My lust for an iPhone grows daily. However, I keep hearing scary things about AT&T not actually having nearly as many bars in as many places as they might like me to believe, and my US Cellular is pretty solid. Does anyone know if I can sync my iCal/MobileMe up with a Blackberry?

I have a momentile! I'm dancingintheaisle up there. So if you have one, you should tell me who you are so I can stalk you. :) And if you don't have one and you want one, I have invites I can send you!
