It occured to me yesterday that the best way to be broken up with is for the other person to suddenly realize they were gay. Not like "Because of you, I'm gay" sort of thing. But just like, something that they had considered but weren't sure about and suddenly, in an all encompassing moment of clarity, a voice ripped through their consciousness, proclaiming, "I'm gay." I mean, if they're gay and they say "it's not you, it's me." It's kinda true. I mean, it's not your fault you're not the same sex as them. Also, they've realized a truth about themselves, and you've realized a truth about them, and no one's feelings need to be hurt in the process. I guess there's always the possibility that you might think that something about you made them realize they're gay. ("Omg, I'm so disgusting that I turned him off women for good!") But I hope most people have enough common sense to know that there's no way that could be true.
I'm not exactly sure what got me thinking about that. I have come to the conclusion that I may have ADD...or at least my work self has ADD because I can't help but think about the most ridiculous things in order to entertain myself. If this weren't a year long position, I'm sure this "condition" would get me fired eventually. Oh well.
I had my last workshop of the year today. It was mildly productive but it made me realize my incapability when it comes to organizing my thoughts verbally. I was trying to explain a lesson plan I had done about the Yanomami Indians of Brazil and how I'm going to use this unit to help my kids with their writing skills and their ability to take away the important facts from the books we read while not giving a whole lot of attention to the peripheral facts. Needless to say, I kept getting flustered and repeating myself. Apparently I don't deal too well with giving presentations to adults. I guess that's one of the reasons I want to be a teacher. Having to deal daily with other adults in a corporate setting would provide too many opportunities for me to embarrass myself and showcase my incompetance. Go me.
Can't wait to go home this afternoon. Perhaps I shall watch more Firefly. Perhaps I shall watch March of the Penguins instead. Or perhaps, I shall amuse myself with more...uhh...physical activities. Hehe...
Dirty mind? Who me? Never...
