i think i may have found mine... at school. but let me begin by saying that i think i am a bad teacher. i'm moody, i cheat, and i pick favorites. none of these traits are desirable in an educator. thankfully i keep them relatively well hidden, but still.
so on to the type and typing. i have always been one to say that i didn't have a type, and that, in fact, i thought typing to be limiting and basically a flawed concept. of course, i never argued being someone that i liked's 'type', but i prided myself as not having one myself. as such, i have ended up with a variety of different people.
ok.. that sounds bad. not that many, but very different individuals. no one can be compared, for example, to my skinhead tattoo-covered japanese dude who listens to punk, techno and trans (eek), and generally looks pretty scary.
but i digress. what i am getting at actually involved the classroom. i mentioned just now that i pick favorites. as in, there are certain kids in my classes that i am drawn to during class time. when i have my students complete a worksheet, for example, and i roam the class checking on their progress, i find myself often haunched over a particular type of kid (aside from those that actually need help, of course. i'm not that horrible). in a nutshell, they are all the 'bad' kids, the loud ones, which in english, is a good thing. and, despite them being 'bad' and 'funny' and 'cool', they all have really sensitive, sweet hearts underneath it all. i just love talking to these kids. its way fun, even more so than class itself.
so my deduction is that this (not that all three of my loyal readers even care), is my type. or at least, its the type i am drawn to. and let's be clear- its not just about love relationships, its about them all. so here's to meeting new crazy, loudmouthed people, with supersoft centers.
