Opal

I thought I hadn't written that many.

HA! LJ entry filter says yes, I have spent that much time on kiss fics.

Some porny, some fluffy, some cliched. all Dr. Crusher/Picard.

( even more kiss scenes )


ETA word count? 6782! ha!

This public service announcement details the Beverly Hands Threat Level (or BHTL) that has been created pursuant to racethewind10 Livejournal directive 1701-D.

( Take notice of hand positions. Report all suspicious activity immediately. )












TNG Fangirls should remain vigilant and be aware of BHTLs at all times. This ends this LJPSA.

Ha ha! I don't know if it's a sign of maturity or insanity, but I will totally ship Picard/Q on a trek board just to piss off this one random woman who thinks Picard/Vash were ZOMG the best and only thing ever. (She has a whole set to preprogrammed arguments against Beverly...but nothing for Q!)

Yes, yes I will multiship out of spite. I feel oddly proud of myself.

Still her though --> she's in his chair. *nods*

I hate picking screen names. I usually end up with some lame variation of "Opal" and wander off. I've never really felt the need for a self-assigned identity. There's only one Opal, where ever I go, and it it's an easy sort of gift to live with. I know many of my friends really had to find their own identity and carve out that space.

One can write "Opal" in Korean (Hangul) fairly easily. It's shifted a bit and pronounced "oh-pah-rl" see below.



Kidlets. (ZOMG the kidlets are so awesome) Call me Opal-teacher. Or teacher (which is an honorific in Korean culture! whee!) and we're good.

So, yesterday, we talk about names because Opal-teacher can finally read Korean. My pronunciation sucks, but they get it. And they ask if I have a Korean name. (they all have English names because their names are way hard for us westerners to say).

I don't have one. So sad. :(

They get together. They write pieces of their names on the board and decide I shall be named after them. (*DEAD OF CUTE*) They put their names together on the board and decide I shall be henceforth known as:



So-Jang. Pronounced "Soh-Jayhng" and it means 'small boat'. Now, not only is small boat totally fitting for me. (it's random, does it's own thing and can be found anywhere in the world).

They named me after them. How cool is that? How incredibly, amazingly, wonderful is that? It was the Korean equivalent of them deciding, okay, my name is Lucy, your name is Lilly, we should call teacher "Li-Lu".

I'm firmly ensconced in hot chocolate drinking, TNG watching, wowplaying, fic writing self indulgence. who knew beverly and jean-luc could drag me through anything?

I can now read and write korean. I do not know what I am saying, but I have mastered the letters!! W00t! I can also tell time. whee!!

Boss is evil. (but totally intimidated by me because I am awesome!) I have sunk to the level of purposely trying to provoke her. I do everything I am told but show my contempt at all time. IT IS NOT MATURE.

I write lesson plans in crayon. I write random comments about in korean. (I have students translate for me) I spend random classtime having students teach me korean. (they think this is awesome)

I write cracktastic worksheets.

USA#1 has quit attending 'learn korean class' but still wants the korean students to vie for the pleasure of driving her to costco. she also wants to borrow (pilfer steal and abuse) all my ideas for writing class.

She leaves early. comes late and borrows my broom every other day instead of buying one.

writing class is the BANE of my school existence. Here, take young children who don't know much english and have them write for 45 minutes. No, there's no book. Figure something out. SERIOUSLY. only because I'm insane and love writing can i come up with anything remotely interesting.

USA#2 is just lonely and needs to talk to me. for hours. at school. when. I. am trying. to work. (it's making get shatnered, it's that bad)

he talks when I have headphones on.

The kids are fabulous and have started writing 'welcome opal' on the board before i come to class. it's adorable.

You are a Law & Order show and you have Jamie Bamber. You did a crazy episode about sexual assault, and you did it very well. Well done!

Running tally because yes, it HAS GOTTEN THAT BAD ZOMG.

Yesterday:
USA#2: "Wow, I was really funny in there."
Opal: o.O you're not allowed to comment on yourself being funny.
USA#2: "I so am, no one else noticed."

USA #2 - self centered stupidness points? +5.

Boss: USA#1, do what Opal does and record books. It's an awesome idea.
USA#1: says nothing because she doesn't want to work.
Opal: *sitting right there* "She can't without my laptop. and it was KCW#3's idea."
Boss: Oh, she should find another way. And it's still my idea.
Opal: *facepalm* "I'll do it."

Boss score: +5
USA#1: +2

USA#2: My kids hate writing. I stand in front of class and tell them to write sentences and give them tests. They think I'm boring.
Opal: Here are the games I play.
USA#2: You had to spend $3 on paper to make flashcards. Won't see me doing that. Idiot.
Opal: You can make free flashcards and print them on paper.
USA#2: They are flimsy and it takes work. Can't I use yours?
Opal: No, they aren't appropriate to your class.
USA#2: They might be.
Opal: Your class is 14-year-olds. My class is 8-year-olds.
USA#2: Seems like work.

ten minutes later.

USA#2: Oh hey, I'm done with my work. I'm so bored.
Opal: Oh, did you make flashcards?
USA#2: Nah, I just made worksheets where I wrote one word on each line. Flashcards are lame.

USA#2 score: +5

USA#1: I'm too busy. *while checking her email, looking for another job*
KCW#3: 5 minutes a week?
USA#1: At my old school....(ten minute explanation, back to email)
