Respite.

And on the seventh day, she had them colour in their books so that her head would stop aching...

    I'm glad to see you are making them all colour in the GAY PRIDE FLAG in their books!

    Count the animals!? I want to count the animals. Bring me back one of those books woman, you can teach me, and i'll colour when you want me to shut up. e.g... *In HMV*, "Bukake with JLS Laura?"
    "Jess, will you take him off me for a few minutes, I need to think."

    Do you remember when THAT happened? Then you pretended to go to the bag shop when in fact you wanted to go to the sweet shop. It really doesn't suprise me. x

Your story is not ready for you to worry about yet

I teach creative writing, and often what happens is that my students repeat my words back to me and I don't understand that it was me who said them first and it's a headfuck. I love teaching. I love communicating knowledge and I love using my skill with words to package information in a way that lands with the other person. I sort of took it upon myself, at the end of last year, to help one of the girls I used to nanny with her 11+ because I could so clearly identify where her boldest missteps were and part of me thought  maybe I am interfering too much  and then her mother cancelled her tutor and asked me to come over instead and you know what? She aced the exam and I know I played a part in that. After, when she called me to tell me how good she felt about what she'd done, I cried. She's working on a novel and she FaceTimed me on Easter Sunday from a walk on the Devon coast to show me some goat poo. That child reminds me to be love. Some people have comme...

Frenemy.

Ladies and Gentlemen: introducing the concept of FRENENMIES. Also known as, who needs enemies when you have friends like these to remind you of every drunken, slightly-out-of-character (FINE. Slightly-in-character...) incident that YOU'D REALLY RATHER FORGET. Frenemies are there, ready and waiting, to bring all of this up. Even over email. Me : I think you need a WWLD braclet to help successfully conduct your life without me. Frenemy : I have no idea what that means. And if you are trying to spell BRACELET then I am so disappointed in you. Me : WHAT WOULD LAURA DO? Like the What Would Jesus Do bracelets Christians have to get them through their days. Frenemy : Oh! Okay then. I would wear it with pride. (Everytime I see a hot man... *has sex with them on a park bench*). Maybe the whole bracelet thing isn't such a good idea after all. Me : I CAN'T BELIVE YOU JUST BROUGHT THAT UP. Frenemy : I will continue to bring it up at any oppurtunity. Me : It's spelt oppOrtunity. And...

Financing the Hard Stuff.

Goosebumps. I have goosebumps because of magic. What kind of magic, you ask? Well I’ll tell you. CLASSICAL MUSIC. I know. It surprised me too. Recently a student asked to take me to a classical concert as a sort   goodbye! You are awesome! I’m so sad you’re leaving!   gift. RELATED: This student had actually only ever had me as her teacher twice in the entire time I’ve been at this job. When she had a mid-course appraisal with my boss to talk about the ongoing successes and problems, if any, with her course, she said to my boss   LAURA. I WANT HER AS A TEACHER AGAIN .   When my boss asked why she basically said   BECAUSE SHE’S BALLIN’. THAT’S WHY. DISCLAIMER: Except Luisa is actually Italian and in her 50’s, so in reality as opposed to in my imagination, she probably said an approximation thereof. But still. The sentiment is the same. Anyway, when somebody asks you to the oldest orchestra in Rome , YOU SAY YES. So off I went in my checked shirt and bow-tied scar...
