jeva_chan!!!!! Do not let me forget that I owe you a sneak-peek of the next fic for 30_nights. It's angsty and dark and not-happy and all those things that make our tar-blackened little hearts sing emo Linkin Park songs for joy. And Evil.

It's my last day in Student Teaching Placement #1. Tomorrow is the elementary school program...I WILL TOTALLY REMEMBER TO BRING MY CAMERA AND TAKE ZE PICTURES, YES!! :D :D :D *fails at life* Today's rehearsal might be a wee bit on the chaotic side, because it's the first/only rehearsal with costumes. And ZOMG wait until you guys see the Purple People Eater mask ♥

Starting next week, my commute will be about twenty minutes, instead of an hour. Now Candy-chan will put on her Happy Face :DDDDD And watch, I'll have to be there at 7:30 AM or something T_T Guess I'll find out when I go meet him on Friday.

I'm sort of sad to be leaving the elementary school...overall it's been a really good experience (eight weeks, and only one total mental meltdown!). The program has been a delight to work on...and while I was driving home yesterday, I had an idea for another program you could do with kids: the months of the year! This led me to remember a favorite book of mine from childhood.

Please tell me someone else remembers reading Chicken Soup with Rice. Pleeeeeeeeeeeeez?

Actually, I did a lot of reconnecting myself with my childhood yesterday. I was trying to remember the poems from Chicken Soup with Rice on my drive home, and then last night I sat down and did some hard-core knitting and watched my newly-acquired DVDs of one of my favorite animated shows, in all its cheesy glory.

... *sings really loudly* TEENAGE MUTANT NINJA TURTLES, TEENAGE MUTANT NINJA TURTLES, TEENAGE MUTANT NINJA TURTLES! HEROES IN A HALF-SHELL--TURTLE POWER!!! *windows break, fire hydrants turn into geysers, and adorable little puppies explode*

This is so weird...I updated my MKR epic after a year's hiatus due to my computer eating my outline, which I have not yet totally reconstructed due to waning inspiration...but now that I've updated it again, the ideas are just flowing like crazy O.O Maybe I'll be able to get that outline pieced back together soon after all :D And finish the fic...without waiting another year to update... *hangs head in shame*

Well, we've got some kids coming in to finesse their program parts a little bit in a very shot time. So I will stop my pointless assault on your f-list now :3

Chicken Soup with Rice! I loved that book when I was little! I know I have that book somewhere in my house too! I have to go look for it now!

[candy--chan.livejournal.com]

In September for a while
I will ride a crocodile
[something about the] Nile
[Something] once
[Something] twice
[Something] chicken soup with rice.

After wracking my brain, that's the only one I can remember ^^;; *goes to look it up online*

[soc_puppet]

♫ Oh me-oh once~ Oh me-oh twice~ Oh me-oh chicken soup with rice! ♪

...Unless what I'm remembering is completely different from what you remember.

[candy--chan.livejournal.com]

That's from April! *just found the stanzas online* And you're close--it's "Oh my once, oh my twice, oh my chicken soup with rice" :D :D

...how did you do the music note things? O.O I MUST KNOW!!!

[soc_puppet]

Ah, okay :3 Really? I always learned it with the 'oh' at the end. Maybe it's interpretational.

How To Do The Musical Note Things:
1) Make sure Num Lock is on.
2) See that number pad on the right hand side of the keyboard? Okay. Hold down the Alt key while typing in 13 for ♪ and 14 for ♫. (Also good for quick ♥-marking is Alt + 3. Go nuts!)

[candy--chan.livejournal.com]

♪♫♥ YAY IT WORKED!!! *luffs on you liek whoa*

Also, icon love.

[soc_puppet]

^___^ If you explore with the numbers a little more, you can also find other things they'll type. It's a fun thing to do when you're bored :Db

Thank you ♥

I loved Chicken Soup with Rice! And, I'm not sure, but I think an animated film was made of it and we saw it in school.

Yay for Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles!!! I haven't seen the new movie yet, but maybe I will this weekend if I don't have to work...I used to watch that every Saturday morning.

[candy--chan.livejournal.com]

I remember my kindergarten teacher reading to us on the first day of every month with the new stanzas. Such a cute little book...I'd forgotten about it until I started trying to think of songs for the months of the year :3

Our generation was the generation of Saturday Morning Cartoons. The shows I remember watching are Where on Earth is Carmen Sandiego, Dragonball, Power Rangers (not a cartoon, but hush >.>), Garfield and Friends, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Sailor Moon, The Magician...I'm sure there were a few others, but I'm drawing a blank as to what they are *drives a convertible down Memory Lane*

[jeva-chan.livejournal.com]

Linkin' Park, you say? I SHALL BE ONLINE TONIGHT AND SUCH!

Kids are great. Part of the reason I love to be around them. Of course, I had a sucky childhood--socially, that is. My peers, they were cruel ;o; But besides that, good childhood *nodsnods* And kids are so creative and active and so refreshing to be around sometimes~

[candy--chan.livejournal.com]

Yes, Linkin Park. Because ONLY LINKIN PARK CAN UNDERSTAND THE EMO NATURE OF MY SOUL!!! *is bricked, shot, and stabbed, not necessarily in that order*

My childhood had a lot of ups and downs...most of the kids at the elementary school are great. And yes, they are VERY creative and VERY active, even when you sometimes don't want them to be :3

...you were not online (or I did not see you) ;o; *pets poor, abandoned half-finished fic*

[jeva-chan.livejournal.com]

My AIM is acting weird and saying my email-password combo doesn't work. I'll figure it out this weekend and then you can share. :D

[candy--chan.livejournal.com]

D:!! *stabs your AIM in the face*

Hopefully I'll get to talk to you soon!

[insaneladybug.livejournal.com]

Yay angst-fics! X3

It's nice that the commute time will be shorter, but it's too bad that you have to leave the elementary school when you're enjoying it there!

**waves hand.** I had that book, and the accompanying cassette! Not sure where they are now, though.

Ahh, I love it when ideas suddenly start to flow. XD

[candy--chan.livejournal.com]

*pets angst* I loves it so... >:D

I know...but I guess that's all part of the experience. Still kinda feels like I'm starting right back at square one with learning names and figuring out how things work...ayiyiyi... >.> But I shall keep my chin up and be optimistic and things will be smurfy!! *victory pose*

I actually found the words online!" (http://comsewogue.k12.ny.us/~csinger/class2001/chickensoup/words.htm) That made me very happy :3

I love it too--sometimes I just wish they would space themselves out a little more, though...ya know, so I could actually WRITE THEM before the next idea bites me :D;;

[insaneladybug.livejournal.com]

Ah, yes. XD It's been so long since I've heard it, but I vaguely recall the music.

XD **gets knocked down by plunnies a lot.** They can multiply so fast!

[candy--chan.livejournal.com]

Every once in a while my plunnies just go nuts--and for some reason, being in the classroom seems to make them go overtime liek whoa. Last year I did classroom observation for the whole month of January...and wrote nineteen fics in the process between my two couples for 30_kisses ^_^;;

[magic-truth.livejournal.com]

Yay for short commutes. 20 minutes is awesome.

Aww, I would be sad about leaving an elementary school too. When I used to volunteer (not in music just general), ZI always hated my last days. Kids are fun.

Hee! I was singing the teenage mutant ninja turtle theme song to my brother. He was amazed I could rattle it off so quickly.

[candy--chan.livejournal.com]

*nodnod* Yup yup yup! Might also mean I get to sleep in a little bit more in the mornings...which will also be teh lovely :3 It is sad to be leaving...but I guess that's part of the process. Now I start all over at square one with the high schoolers >.>

I'd forgotten a couple of words, but I remember them all now! It's also online. (http://youtube.com/watch?v=qI0FbYe3lRE) Yay, YouTube! I'm just working my way through it--still missing one DVD, and they're only up to season four (of ten, I think) :D :D :D

[kaitodoushi.livejournal.com]

Dude, I have Chicken Soup With Rice. I think it's just a few feet away from me on the bookshelf XD.

And WE MUST WATCH TURTLES!!! We can't do Kingdom Hearts on Friday (unless you wanna start after 9). What do you and Rachie's Saturday's look like? :D

Oh, and see my LJ for my newest achievement :P

[candy--chan.livejournal.com]

:D :D :D *snuggles childhood memories*

I thought you would appreciate that :3 BTW, have you seen the trailer? (http://youtube.com/watch?v=r_RHuX8x-Ig) Don't know if you can on your home comp, but it reaffirms Mikey as my favorite ♥

I'm not sure what my Saturday looks like...I don't mind starting KH after nine, though. Last week we didn't start until eight. How late we could go then would depend on...well, who's driving and how early they get tired ^^;;

[kaitodoushi.livejournal.com]

No, I haven't... And I'm in the school library right now so I don't think I can watch it now, either ^^;

Actually, now that I think about it, aren't you off on Friday since you're done at that school? If Rachie doesn't have to work at all we could make it an afternoon thing or something! Or just start really late XD.

[candy--chan.livejournal.com]

Tomorrow I'm going to meet my coop for my next placement. But he said I could come anytime during the day, so I could go in the morning (since it's only a twenty-minute drive) and we could hang out in the afternoon...that would work...it'll depend on Rachie's schedule, I guess :)
