Post of random.
1) I'm currently reading The Night Circus by Erin Morgenstern. It's gothtastic! There is such gorgeous, magical, dark imagery in this book. If Tim Burton doesn't adapt it into a movie, I will eat my hat.
2) My favourite running songs right now are:
a) Super Bass - Nicki Minaj
b) Stereo Hearts - Gym Class Heroes featuring Adam Levine
c) Wild Ones - Flo Rida featuring Sia
d) Rumour Has It - Adele
e) Call Your Girlfriend - Robyn
f) Everybody Breaks A Glass - Lights featuring Holy Fuck and Shad
3) Speaking of favourite running songs, last night some of the boys in student council were working in the caf listening to music, and Otis Redding by Jay-Z and Kayne West came on. One kid said "ugh, turn it, I don't like this song", and I was like "WHAT? I love this song!"
Cue silence.
"Miss, you know this song?"
"Play it." I responded. I waited for the singing introduction to start and I rapped along with Jay-Z "I got my swagger back, truth." That one line was enough to convince them that life is pretty strange, and teachers can access their music. Maybe I ruined it for them, I don't know. Whatever. Just never assume that science nerds don't dabble in hip-hop.
4) I got new boots on sale during boxing week, and wore them to school today with leggings and a long sweater. A girl in my period two class said "Miss, you look all hot today!" A couple of my friends said the same too. I should really wear heels more often.
5) Becca T has been in Canada over the holidays and traveling all over the place. She spent a lot of time in Ottawa, and flew out to Vancouver. She's in Toronto for a bit this week, and she's sleeping over at my place tomorrow night. Yay! I'm excited to catch up with my bestie.
6) I am swamped at work right now with marking, writing exams, and various extra-curricular things. I keep alternating between feeling burned out and absolutely unstressed. It's bizarre.

Okay I'm planning a shoe post and you need to post a picture of your new boots!
Glad you're having fun with your bestie :)
Ummm.....yeah? You can't get away with not posting a photo of your new boots!
I would have been freaked to hear one of my teachers in high school listened to Nirvana too. It's weird how teenagers don't consider adults human or something hey? What do they think you listen to, Neil Diamond?
Hot new boots, awesome! I join the clamour for a picture!
I love surprising the kids with my taste in music/movies. I think they sometimes think I sit at home listening to Mozart reading Dickens all the time!
I want to see the boots and love that your surprised the kids with your ability to rap along with JayZ.
that is a rave review for fans of things that are (or may become) tim burton material!
I shall read this book, and then we can discuss. LOL
Hip hop is fine for a science geek. I'd be more worried if you were listening to Limp Biskit or ICP.
