x_cannonball: (hey there!)
Christmas shopping time is here again apparently, though I've managed to be a very good boy this year (hear that, Santa?) and I've got presents for some of my brothers and sisters already.

No, it wasn't planned, I just happened to stumble upon the perfect gifts for some of them, which worked out well for once. Usually I'm last minute shopping and praying I can get things wrapped up and sent out in time, heh, but not this year.

Unless I just jinxed myself, which I totally just did. Whoops.

May?

How is it almost half way through May already? Sheesh. Growing up people used to say time goes faster as you get older and I never used to believe them, but damn, they were right.

I think I'm overdue for a break or a trip of some sort. Anyone up for an adventure, and/or have any ideas for such a thing?
x_cannonball: (hey there!)
Well, I've been planning to go home for awhile now, since getting back across the pond from Muir, but something always stopped me from doing it. Not this time, however, as I just got off the phone with mama and I'll be heading back to Kentucky this weekend. It's the twins' birthday and when she asked them what they wanted they asked if I'd be there, heh. How can you say no to that? Ok, they also asked for some toys but that's what gifts are for after all and I'll be bringing some.

She reminded me to ask if any of y'all would like to come with me then you're more than welcome to do so. We've got plenty of space and mama likes cooking for a crowd (even though she still has one at home as it is), so just let me know if you're interested and there'll be a cozy bed and a warm meal with your name on it just waiting for you. :)
x_cannonball: (hey there!)
So, seeing as how cookies travel better than cake, there's a bunch of home made cookies in the kitchen for anyone who wants some, made by my Momma so you know they're good. And yes, in case anyone is curious, I did help myself to some of them first but there's still plenty to share with everyone.
x_cannonball: (covering mouth)
So, let's just say we'll never talk about that again, fair enough? No pun intended either.

ow

if anyone could refrain from making any loud noises or quick movements around me today that'd be great. because ouch.

So.

x_cannonball: (relaxing)
How about that football game, huh?

Yeah, I've got nothing.

So.

I'm probably not going to be wearing any flannel around here for the next little while, I think.
x_cannonball: (laying down)
I think that everything should come in a pumpkin flavored variant. And not just in the fall, but the whole year round. Though that could just be me.

Mmm.

Oct. 25th, 2011 10:38 pm
x_cannonball: (covering mouth)
You know what's great? Pumpkin donuts, that's what. Mmmm. I even brought some home with me, if anyone's interested.

... I'd better go jogging extra long tomorrow to make up for it, though.

So

x_cannonball: (covering mouth)
I'm not the world's biggest baseball fan or anything, but I know enough about it to know that everyone should be extra nice to Adrienne today after last night. Wow.
x_cannonball: (laying down)
Think it's off to bed early for me tonight. I know, getting old, huh?

Hoping to actually drag my butt out of bed early, though, and maybe get in some jogging. That's the plan, anyway, we'll see how well I can follow through when the alarm goes off.

Anyone else out here do any morning running, by any chance?

Cravings

Sep. 5th, 2011 11:27 pm
x_cannonball: (covering mouth)
Ok, well, I know we just had a big ol' BBQ on Saturday, which was very awesome and all, but I've had a craving for a Big Mac for almost twelve months now, heh.

So, I'm making a late night run. Anyone wanna come with, or want anything brought back?

Returning

x_cannonball: (hey there!)
Wow, I'm surprised I remember how to even turn this thing on, let alone use it. Been so long since I've used it and I never really was all that good at using it in the first place, but here I am, back again.

I'll be unpacking and getting settled back in for the next little while, followed by some shut-eye after all the travelling. I just figured I'd make a little announcement here first, I guess, so there you have it.
x_cannonball: (Farm)
I wanted to take the opportunity to thank everyone for another great year and all the help I've received. My favorite part of teaching is getting so many new and unique perspectives. Now it's time to let everyone know that I'll be leaving for the summer, at very least. Jay is under more intense care and that's where I need to be now, I figure. He doesn't have any family where he is and that's something Guthries are big on. I'll be around for a week or two yet before I go, in case anyone needs anything and while summer begins. Thank y'all so much.
x_cannonball: (Relaxed (4))
I've begun a study about the possible effect of mutations on the developing history of ethics. I've left surveys on the table in my class room, the main lobby of the mansion, and if anyone from any of our other local communities would like to pick some up and mail them in, I would be thrilled. The survey is only two questions and it is anonymous. Everyone is welcome to participate and I would really appreciate it! I'm going to compile the results in a week maybe. Most than likely I'll just start then. Thank you in advance.
x_cannonball: (Casual (4))
I wanted to give a week for everything to settle down and so I could collect my thoughts. I'm currently suspended from teaching and the team due to hurting quite a few people and I'd like to take responsibility for that right now. I shouldn't have projected my anger onto the employees of Snow Valley and I certainly should have been cautious enough and in enough control to not hurt Kyle. I am very sincerely sorry for all of those events. I know better and there's nothing excusing me from those decisions.

I owe several of you quite a bit and Kyle the most. I have no right to expect forgiveness but I'd like to do what I can to try to earn it. I try to look at the positive side of most things and I think this has helped me to understand some things I hope I can pass on to others when the time is right. I've made the decision that I'll gladly explain everything to anybody who wants to ask me about what happened so they can learn from my mistakes.

My favorite author, Robert A. Heinlein, wrote in "Starship Troopers" that "Violence is the ultimate authority from which all other authority is derived." I always believed that was wrong and that the ultimate authority was freedom. The same book also says that violence "has settled more issues in history than has any other factor." I had always believed that hope and mercy held that honor. Now I know that I was right. I hope that I can use my experience to help others and my new knowledge to make up for my mistakes.
x_cannonball: (Suit)
When I'm not in classes I'm going to fly around and look for my brother. I know that's not likely to help but it's more likely then sitting around here and not doing anything at all. If anyone made it - Jay did. He has a history with being really hurt. If any of y'all need me for something then call or set up an appointment after class if it's about schooling.
x_cannonball: (Tired)
So everyone knows, since it was kind of significant to me, I'm fine. My skin is all pretty much back in place and unmeltified. I'll be in classes whenever everything gets back on track, so no luck my students. I'm very glad everyone else seems to be alright. I may go for a flight sometime soon to survey how the city is doing and otherwise process everything. Anyone who'd like to join me is more then welcome but I can only carry about one person comfortably, unless it's Cain. That would just be very uncomfortable for both of us.

And I'm done trying to be funny for the day.
