I flunked my English certification test. I cried - but I had already accepted the fact that I'm a loser, so it didn't destroy me. If anything, I consistently deliver on my personal theory of myself. I can pride myself in that I am 100%right about me (and this is all).

I don't know how to teach English, apparently. No knowledge of methods, etc, and obviously I'm not intuitive in this department either. The good news is that one day I will die. I haven't gotten a pap smear in forever, and if I keep at it I'll probably (since I've had the early stages before and it runs in the family) develop it and pass away.

You know, when you stop fighting life, give in and let the water pull you under, there is such peace. Fighting to survive takes energy, and rushing to drown takes energy, but letting it happen while remaining still requires nothing more than a little patience.

I haven't been to this site in a few days - I come back and, as usual, there's a legion of posts awaiting my attention.

Forgive me but not enough time today to get caught up (it's my fault; I've been indulging my OB fetish this morning).

For the one other Bloom admirer on the forum - LOL - you know who you are, here is a UNO Shishiedo commercial for you. I swear I want to have his babies:

He's so Jules Vercini in this commercial - totally in love with himself. I think I hit the nail on the head with that book in so many ways - personally and professionally. Too bad it'll fade away like my decaying corpse.

Here are screencaps:

    I'm glad you're back. I have to take my first Praxix next month. I'm a wreck. I'm only just now in my first methods class. Thinking about it makes me sick. Don't beat yourself up so much. I think you ROCK!

    Countess you're incredible. You're so totally hooked on Bloom! When you have a minute, go see my latest blog. The last paragraph and the picture are inspired by you; never in a million years could I have done something like that were it not for you......................sorry you failed your exam. Could you teach English Literature? That seems to be another one of your talents.

    Sorry to hear about the exam, but at least you still have your OB-session (lol) going strong. I think everyone here can relate to failing one thing or another, it won't sink any of us, despite the initial shock and maybe feeling somewhat embarassed (I speak for myself here, with a certain music thing that went on, and that is all I'll say -- yeah, me, the know-it-all Chopin nut...lol... but cried myself to sleep over it). Think that these things just groom us for something later in our lives, you know? We are being honed for a better tomorrow or something like that. Hang in there, love the fan updates you provide here, hee hee!

    Sorry to hear that your test didn't go well, but don't give up on life because of it. Try to quit stressing over what you don't have, and focus more on the good things in your life. I hope things start going better. Try to think happier thoughts dear Countess:)

    Countess, don't let crap like a test get you down. If I crashed everytime I failed something, motherhubbard wouldn't be here. LOL Take it again..consider this a pratice test. And DON'T let nerves get in the way of. I have a friend, a former police officer, who was outstanding and wanted to be Sargent. Took a written test about 10 times. The top guys knew he would be good at it but he froze up on written tests. Finally gave him a oral test and he did better than anyone ever had! Just stick with what you want and don't let them get you down. I bet you can do anything well!

    Hi Countess. I don't know if you'll find this but I wanted to tell you that I watched "Elizabethtown" yesterday with my Mom and was thinking of you all the while. I have to admit, every time I watch an OB film I'm liking him a bit more.
