ah fuck. I have a slightly different problem with my mum and computers. My mum was a trained typist and types incredibly fast. but she also knows very little about computers. so I tend to be the one fixing/getting her computer to do something. Its really frustrating because I can't think without doing the typing myself, and she gets really frustrated because it would be so much faster if she types things up. But if she does that I lose the ability to computer brain which is really annoying.

another story I remember was an RE teacher I had. religious education, at catholic school, and he had a problem. You see, what he had planned was to stage a traditional catholic wedding. choose people to play all the parts, priest, bride, groom etc and go through what happens and why each bit happens as it does. and none of the girls in the class volunteered. now i thought he would maybe call it off or pressure a few of the girls into volunteering. but to the guy's credit he just went along with it. I got to be the bride's mother, it was a great laugh.

I'm offended willow now has posts, which makes this comment seem odd

I'm gonna disagree with this comment here. not sure where that definition is from but it seems to be using the word 'or' to mean either of these rather than saying you need both. i.e. you could still be aro, even by that definition, if you have interest but no desire. I dont think saying you must have neither desire nor interest to be aro is a sensible idea. interest seems such a broad word. For example consider a lesbian, is she no longer a lesbian if she is 'interested' in hetrosexual relationships. that seems stupid, there are plenty of reasons to be intersted in those relationships which have nothing to do with her lesbianism. perhaps curiosity, perhaps because those are the relationships most people she knows are in and good sense says she might want to try to understand them. perhaps studying how different sorts of people make their lives work is interesting in its own sake. I certainly prefer the way AUREA's glossary defines aromanticism: Commonly describes someone who experiences little to no romantic attraction, abbreviated to aro. It also describes someone whose experience of romance is disconnected from normative societal expectations, due to feeling repulsed by romance, or being uninterested in romantic relationships. I'm not going to say its perfect but that seems a lot better than only allowing people who have absolutely no interest at all in the way most of humanity seem to lead their lives. also wtf is that bit in the middle, I have no idea what is going on there.

I'm just imagining someone in a fancy restaurant, candles, glass of wine in hand, posting random nonsense in the arcade. Its a good image.

Lovely stuff, Its cool that Jessalyn comes to the interview being a non momogamous relationship anarchist. Which is really not what I expected, and a pleasant surprise to me that those parts of her life came up in the interview as well.

well bad teacher stories seems to have interested people, so I thought I would throw out the other side. Anyone got any good teacher stories. My favourite was a chemistry teacher of mine I had for A levels (16-18). He let people bring in cake if some celebration was happening with the rule that as long as he got a bit he would keep quiet about eating food in the science rooms. Also I had a primary school teacher who was just a good laugh to be around. I remember her teaching an english class wearing what we all called the 'punk rocker wig' A very bright, gaudy costume wig some kid found at the back of the classroom.

I remember a useless music teacher. Our music class was in one of the 'temporary' buildings which were in reality older than the kids there and probably older than some of the teachers. So it was a bit knackered and not a nice place to be in. She (probably rightfully to be honest) seemed to hate being there and not really care if the place got even worse. Lots of graffiti on desks. Mountains of chewing gum even by normal school standards. That sort of thing. So a lot of music class was to split into small groups. Each group would go into a booth at the back of the room and in theory would practice a piece of music. In practice we just dicked about a lot. One incident I remember was a kid who decided to see how high he could jump while in the booth. He leapt up, shouted 'I can touch the light', and promptly knocked the plastic cover off the fluorescent tube light, which fell to the floor and smashed (the cover, thankfully not the tube). She finally realised something was up and the boy had to sheepishly explain why he thought that was a good idea. But looking back it was insane things got that far.

sounds good to me. Im ok for any weekend other than 23/24th as for topic. I like the idea Elin had last time of talking about music.

ok this is cool

yeah, this is something I had to deal with as well. from what i remember the 'quality' of the enccounter was entirely judged by how hot the woman was. I also remember realising that what mattered was not your actual success of any sort with women, but rather how good you were at convincing other young lads of that success. There wasn't really a clear way to define success, it was just a question of what you could get away with.

alright
