okay okay

I'm posting something new for you, Kory, since you're the only one who is still checking this thing to see if I've written any more. The reason I've been away is mostly that I'm busy with teaching, but also I've been scared away by the legal boogeyman. He's about 5'10, and can give a presentation on blood borne pathogens (sp?) in under five minutes. The school district's attorney came for our last inservice day before teaching began and instead of detailing all of the ways to sexually harass a coworker, he told us scary stories about teachers who have been fired for stuff they've put on their myspace accounts and things they've said while blogging. I've always been careful to avoid the really funny dating/work stories on here to avoid humiliating myself too thoroughly in front of any rogue student who cared enough to cyber stalk me, but this had my mind reeling. What if I wrote the wrong thing? What if I got blog-fired? and then the realization came on slow and heavy: I've never done anything I couldn't post on here. No beer bong extravaganzas for me. No slutty photos, etc. I don't even drink caffeine. I'd like to make some sarcastic comment here now about whether or not it's a good thing, but then again, Big Brother may be watching...
