I want anyone and everyone who reads this to post in here something they would like to do with me someday.

Then post this in your journal to find out what I want to do with you.

Please be prudent, unless you feel comfortable enough with me to not be so...

Go to a bookstore of your choosing

[ann1962]

That is fun to do. We could have coffee and chat. It would be fun. No betrayals this time! lol Maybe meet some of your students too.

Every time I see your lovely icon I want to walk on a beach at sunset. So, we should do that together.

Sit down and have a talk over coffee. Or another beverage of your choice. ;)

Re: Go to a bookstore of your choosing

[mamculuna.livejournal.com]

Love bookstore roaming! Especially with friends and occasional students. Hope we'll do that some day, some where!

[mamculuna.livejournal.com]

Absolutely! and it really, really looks like that! I'll take you in spirit when I'm there next weekend.

[mamculuna.livejournal.com]

All of the above! And if you come to Chicago, maybe we will.

Discuss students some evening and have a good laugh.

[dherblay.livejournal.com]

Celebrate a Kerry victory.

[winegodeatsyou.livejournal.com]

A class of wine, maybe some chai before, and a evening of chatting about everything from poetry to the dharma.

[ladystarlightsj.livejournal.com]

I have my fingers crossed!!

[gleefulfreak.livejournal.com]

do yoga.

[wisewoman.livejournal.com]

Spend an afternoon watching our favourite eps, with chai, coffee, wine or whisky--and then the subsequent evening discussing them in-depth over an amazing dinner.

(Somehow, food always manages to find its way into my fantasies, LOL.)

;o)

[mamculuna.livejournal.com]

Indeed, one of my favorites! Are you an English teacher, too?

[mamculuna.livejournal.com]

We WILL!!!

[mamculuna.livejournal.com]

Poetry and chai, yes!

[mamculuna.livejournal.com]

And hope that you are, in the midst of your impossible work days.

[cactuswatcher.livejournal.com]

No, Russian. But, some of the wildest (and sorriest) stories I've heard about students came from the English Department.

[mamculuna.livejournal.com]

Hey, this one could happen, if you go to Chicago.

[mamculuna.livejournal.com]

Russian! It must be a little harder to find papers for sale online, but maybe not...

I have some gorgeous and brilliant Russian students learning English--would guess your job's got very different in the last few years.

Poetry is my primary art, I am quitting my semi-lucrative job in insurance (at 23 noless) to go back to school to teach Poetry. So I talk about it a lot.

Horseback Riding..

[midnightsjane.livejournal.com]

and a picnic. My idea of heaven.

[mamculuna.livejournal.com]

Wonderful? You mean you'll be teaching the writing of poetry?

I'll retire from teaching next Friday--but I've been mostly teaching composition and literature, and some ESL. After a break, I may return to it. Teaching is very satisfying though often frustrating as well.

Re: Horseback Riding..

[mamculuna.livejournal.com]

Wonderful! I love horses too, but have never had the chance to learn to do it well. Maybe in the next few years, I will. Do you have your own horse?

[winegodeatsyou.livejournal.com]

I'll be teaching Creative Writing to college students while getting my degree to teach creative writing to college students.

Before I went into insurance, I was in a Highschool teaching problem fresh out of my BA, and then my state hit a budget crunch and only wanted teachers with an MAT (which I was supposed to get while I was teaching), hence my delay.

I would love to teach High School, but I couldn't handle the curiculum in GA nor could I handle a fair amount of the children's parents.

[mamculuna.livejournal.com]

Sounds wonderful! I taught high school for a year, too, long ago, and decided I did not have the patience for that age. I've really enjoyed college--and community college especially--I think it's the idea of the students having some choice about being in school, as well as the age difference.

I've written poetry and now fiction for many years, but haven't really taken classes. One of my possible projects for the next few years is just that. Jeannette Turner Hospital teaches fiction here--it's hard to get into her classes but I may try.

Very cool, the I worked with Susan Atefat-Peckham very closely before she died this year in poetry and Kellie Wells in fiction.

I am vaguely familar with Hospital's work, I think. The name rings some note of familarity to me, but I can't remember anything specific.

Maybe not the Gelert Baths in Budapest, but relaxing in hot springs in some gorgeous natural setting perhaps.

[mamculuna.livejournal.com]

Calistoga, California? Hot Springs, North Carolina? They're nice, but the Gelert still sounds the most cynical and world weary.

Re: Horseback Riding..

[midnightsjane.livejournal.com]

Yes, I do. His name,surprise, is Midnight. He's a paint,black and white, quarterhorse. Cheeky, way too smart for his own good, and I love him to bits.

[altaego.livejournal.com]

I guess I'd just like to meet you in person.

[mamculuna.livejournal.com]

Sounds really good to me! Hope it'll happen, someday.

[wombatina.livejournal.com]

yoga/kayak vacation in baja.

[mamculuna.livejournal.com]

Ready!
