baby names....

So, I've been moved by my students to come up with some names for my future children. You may remember that I began this list a few months ago via another blog, but I've been further inspired by the babies at my school, as well as the folks in the news that are trying to name their kid "Superman".

A list so far:

Pangea

Ozarka

Lil' Scooter Crunch

Captain D

Sims 2

Elocutious

Riki Tiki Tavi (R2D2 for short)

Lourawls

Ubiquitous

Bahrain

Gubinetorial

Barackyomama

Xpansion

Sanguine

Kayaq

Solja * since originally compiling this list, the song "Soulja Boy" has swept the playground top 20, so the added "u" will be accepted. *

Roller Skate

Flux

Catalytica

Lolrus

Tina Turner is the Queen of the Universe

Libido
Venn D'gram
Hollaver
Pineapple (pronounced Puhneeplay)
Bob (pronounced Twan)

Any suggestions will be appreciated, as I plan on getting pregnant at prom this year. Let's be realistic..my date's Camaro has a backseat, doesn't it?!

my life, etc.

I am officially a paid teacher. Gimme my moneys, y'all!!!!
However, they have me on the Bachelor's pay scale. BLASPHEMY!!!
Did I not spend tens of thousands of dollars to earn that +3 on the pay scale? Didn't I!???
Oh well, I'll get that fixed. Remind me, won't you?

My students are outstanding. Inner city kids are the best. Everyone asks me if I'm scared, or isn't it weird to be the only white person in the class.
It's weird if you're ignorant, I guess.
They love Miss Jumper, what could be better?

In other news, I think my Blackberry asked me to marry it last night. We did spend two wonderful nights together, and it hasn't left my side. Should I take the plunge? I'll think about it.
