Interesting little bits
Okay, so first, my Friday was interesting.  Took an afterschool class because I wasn't carpooling--Cool Carpool partner is on the AVID junior trip.  And hey, 3 hours extra pay.  You can't get much better.  Also, got a ton of grading done.  But then, a kid came back from the restroom 30 minutes late.  Then asks if he could walk out to the car with me, this is not as unusual as you might think, but there it is.  Then as we're walking he tells me that he got rushed in the bathroom.  :::What?!?::::  How the heck am I suppose to do anything about it at 5:30 and the only way to get an administrator is to phone and now I'm walking out to my car and no phone.  His buddies pick him up and I notice that Kids are rushing toward a specific spot....Not good.  I head that way, but hello, loaded down with my purse and grading!  When I get there, sure enough two big guys are beating up on another little guy.  Not the kid from before.  Don't know the students, don't know any of the kids in the crowd, but they hear me bellow and kids finally step in, and all of the fighters start running.  Me?  I'm still loaded down with my purse and grading.  Not spending  extra time trying to catch three fighters, certainly not going to lay hands on kids that were just swinging moments ago, so they run.  What more can I do.  I can spend the next 10 minutes filling out a witness report for the VP who was running towards the fight the minute that she heard.  She's the only one on campus besides us ELO teachers and 2 custodians.  It bites big time....and the worst part is....I was ten minutes late for Battlestar Galactica....The episode which culminates with the rescue from New Caprica.  An absolutely brillant episode and I was ten minutes late.:::sigh::::

Second.....How could RM not kill off Dee. 

Don't get me wrong, I like Dee, unlike the rest of Lee/Kara fandom, I don't think that Lee's entire purpose is to fall in love with Starbuck and lick her boots.  And Dee is very good about speaking the truth, so while the fandom is right, they aren't the hot and heavy sexiness (Kara/Anders), or the blistering attraction(Lee/Kara), I do think that some marriages are mellow and loving.  They are based on love, honesty, and that gentle happy flip-flop of the stomach.  And IMHO, Lee would want someone who was a partner in life, but also some one who would be honest with him.  Dee tells it like it is (gently) and he needs that to keep himself honest, to keep himself from locking up in his emotional pain like he's done before, and like his dad has done also.

Off the topic there for a minute, but I'm gonna leave it.  Anyway, Why couldn't RM kill off Dee like I thought he was going to?  Then I could keep the thrid piece of my story, which was still in beta.  Now I can't because well darn it she lived!  Maybe I go write a Lee/Dee piece.:::Sigh::::
