You heard me!

...Please.

And thank you.

Can I touch your butt?
Er.. uh..
Can I respectfully flirt with you occasionally in the context of fun, harmless, internet shenanigans?

Yes. ^_^ The flirting around here is generally fun and not off-putting. Just keep your hands off my butt. I just ate cheese.

Not to worry, there are safeguards in place.

I make one little comment about how you flirt with all the red heads and now you are trying to up your count already. Sheesh.

You know, I have, but I don't think I ever will. I didn't even start blowdrying it until college (and even then not much). So it's super soft and shiny. I don't know if I want to start putting up money and time to doing something that will likely damage it and also require a lot of upkeep. Low maintenance is my style in all things appearance.[DOUBLEPOST=1444156329,1444156300][/DOUBLEPOST]

How dark is your natural hair? I haven't had to bleach my hair to dye it red. (I'm going to the next time around because I want real fire hair, but I digress.)

What professor are you waiting for?

Good joice.

Choice.

What kind of sauce pan do you have?

What kind do you want to have?

Which member of Halforums would you give the greatest food you ever made to?

How many shoes do you own?

Who is stronger Hulk or She-Hulk?

How many widgets do you own?

Is it really all @GasBandit s fault?

What are you getting me for my birthday next week? Is it Lego?

Because people think "theory" means something that it doesn't--they think it means hypothesis. Creationists claim that anything that was not actually observed cannot be real science. It's also something to take on faith. So, if that's true, then intelligent design (in their opinion) should receive equal time. Most people I've come across have no problem with evolution. They have a flawed perception of what it actually is. I made a kid with a fundamentalist dad cry when I tried to explain it for a kid who didn't understand "why there were still monkeys (ARGH)." I keep it fairly simple, because they're still young. But he literally believes that God just snapped his fingers. Most kids who go through the Catholic schools down here are taught that that's just a symbol for something that took a lot longer.

I can't even remember.

What kind do you want to have?
To be honest, I'm pretty clueless about what the best brands are. Just anything that heats evenly. Mine are pretty decent.

Which member of Halforums would you give the greatest food you ever made to?
I have to choose one??? Man... probably @Gusto cuz we go way back and he seems to appreciate good food. Or Kags because she's a doll. But I want to cook for all of you. A huge buffet of wonders.

How many shoes do you own?
Let's see... 1 pair of runners, 2 of work sneakers, 2 work Mary Janes, 1 of flip flops, 2 yoga sandals, 3 pairs of formal...
About 16 in all. A lot of them are shoes that I rotate for work.

Who is stronger Hulk or She-Hulk?
Gahhhhhh I really don't know. I like She-Hulk more and would like to believe she could kick his ass.

How many widgets do you own?
As many as there are grains of sand in the sky... or stars in the sea.
Is it really all @GasBandit s fault?
Always.

What are you getting me for my birthday next week? Is it Lego?
Nothing because it's actually your fault this time.

1) Super dark brown with some tinges of red in the summer. I can't wait to see how yours turns out. I like the color you have now, too.

2) My "Nature and Needs of the Gifted Individual" professor. She's pretty great.[DOUBLEPOST=1444156945][/DOUBLEPOST]

Aww! That's the sweetest thing.

And selfishly I want to come eat your food because YES PLEASE. Also that means we could meet and that makes me excited.

On a scale of Incredible to Divine, how amazing is sriracha?

I'd call it Super-Incredible, though not divine. In my made-up classification of condiments, a divine condiment has a smoother texture. Also I like the one in the jar with garlic in it a little bit more.

That sounds like a fascinating class. Is it?
I did a paper on the needs of gifted/talented students and lack of support in public school for a class I took on the psychology of the exceptional child. It was a thought-provoking subject.

It is! We have a wonderful textbook that's got a narrative feel to it, so it's informative and easy to read. We cover issues like perfectionism, under achievement, and interventions for students with high emotional sensitivity. I love it. It makes me much more mindful.

I am totally jealous.

I'll send you the book title. I'm not looking right at it and therefore do not know the title at this moment.

Send me food though, for real.

Can I just ask you one question?

Oh wait, damn


...ok, can I ask you two questions?

No, shit!

I mean, can I ask you a question after this one?


Ha! Alright....uhm.... I forgot what my question was. ....soooooooo... If you could teach any single subject, what would it be?

Has anybody yet asked "How'd the meeting go?"

Have you ever been to a haunted house attraction? There's one here and a co-worker actually works there but it's still like 25 bucks just to get your spook on so I'm not sure if it's worth it. What do you think?

Did you read @phil's post the same way I did? Is Phil a big time slacker who loafs on the job while his coworkers do all the work running a haunted house attraction?

Man, if I worked there too I'd better not be paying full price to go see it.

If money and time off work were not an issue....where have you always wanted to travel and what would you go see first?

I know I am likely way later than your appointment with your professor but hey I was on a plane earlier.

3-5 homeroom is my favorite, because you get to cover both language and math. It was always what I wanted the most.

No. It was actually a class. I'd actually set up this ama thinking I wouldn't be able to come back until later that afternoon, but I blew off grading. I'll pay for that later

Just a dorm haunted house that was set up on the bottom floor. But I scare easily so it was fucking terrifying. The decorations and make-up were actually really good.

No matter - keep it rolling! I don't know where I'd travel first...i want to see everything. I guess I'm most curious about Japan.

Bloody Mary, a nice red wine, or http://www.bonappetit.com/recipe/fresh-ginger-moscow-mule

Favorite book is hard... I love A Tree Grows in Brooklyn, and I read it over and over. But lately I've been enjoying Julian Barnes very much. I think right now my favorite book is When You are Engulfed in Flames.

Moscow Mule is a tasty beverage. Some would say too tasty.

Ought to be easy to make there. Seemed like everyone used ginger as a landscaping plant, and stuff grows a little out of control.

I often dream of beaches with strange, pure white stone structures all around. Theyre covered in cut-out windows that are perfectly round. The waters are often murky and shark-infested. Sometimes I walk along the beach until I see an oasis. The trees have really dark green leaves, and they cast all these spooky shadows. There's a hut with an old lady inside, but we've never spoken.

Have you ever read my favorite novel, Day of the Triffids by John Wyndham?

I haven't. Sell me on it! (Not that it doesn't sound good--I just want to hear about why it's your favorite!)

Well, I'm not good at selling things, but let me give it a shot. It's a sci fi thing, a sort of zombie apocalypse story (without the zombies). Written in the fifties, it's informed by the paranoia of that time, but in a subtle unobtrusive way. The characters are well developed and interesting. The writing is solid.

I don't know. It's one of the few books I've ever read more than once. Indeed, I pick it up every couple years to read it again (It helps there that its a short novel so I can go through it in a couple weeks of leisurely reading) and I continue to appreciate it in new ways.

Yep, it's a pretty good book, though it's been a few years since I've read it. The movie is crappy, IIRC
