Happy St. Patrick's Day. A day late. A high school gym is not the best place to spend the day after, for the record. But spring is coming, and that means swim season, baseball season, great surf, tourists, and soon, summer vacation. I'll be teaching swimming/surfing over break, at the rec center (which you can call and sign up for now) and to guests at the resort. It's the best job ever, let me tell you. Almost as fun as trying to make the goth kids that never dress out and think I don't notice them sneaking behind the building to smoke run the mile.

In other news, my therapist says I should keep a journal. No.

At least, not where my twin sister can read it as easily as picking her nose.

  If I were a teacher, I'd be tormenting the goth kids, too. I get this horrible urge to choke them with their chain collars or bondage pants every time I see them.
  
  Maybe I'll sign up for surf lessons. I swear that I'm the only person on this island that hasn't even attempted to stand on a board.

    You should. Show those pale, flabby tourists how it's done.

  You should be nicer. Goth kids have feelings too. Usually very dark depressed feelings about their rainy soul miasmas, or something else, probably involving bad poetry.
  
  Wow, is it really almost spring? I've been here long enough I may have to learn to surf yet. Then again, I'd probably just sign up for lessons and then sneak behind a palm tree to go smoke.

    It's either force them to run the mile, or fail them and put them through another year of high school gym. Which would be nicer of me? I'll have another crop next year, so I'd rather it not be bigger than it has to be.

      Good point. If you keep failing them, eventually you'll have a gym class with nothing but goth kids. But tell me that's not a reality show waiting to happen?

    Nice to hear from you, too, Hana. Only I've talked to Lola recently, so I guess you too, via that whole sharing-a-brain thing you've got going.

      Wouldn't surprise you that we were discussing your oh so tragic situation last night then. You definitely need to learn to party more.

        Well, I feel special. Seriously, guys - high school and college? That's eight years of doing precious little but partying. I get up at 5:30 every morning to force the kids who live like I used to to get up and move, now.

    You'll be telling him too, when you've spent twenty-five years with a certain Lucy Dee.

  You are the epitome of a square, Calrissian. The unruly goth kids have feelings too, duh.
