There are those days when my head will not stop pounding once the bell rings.

I was out walking the halls, and stepped back into my room to find two students in it and his hand was up her skirt. Okay, I get it, but NOT in my room. I also have to laugh a little just because I did something like that six years ago when I was in school.

I need a drink.

	Yeaaaah...that's always awkward, walking in on that. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	I don't know. It made me feel really, suddenly old. It's kind of hilarious, in this really awkward, deja-vu kind of way. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	My brother would bring girls back to our tiny apartment, forget which room was his, and start shagging them on my bed. With me still in it. It's weird that it's almost a fond memory now. Heh. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	flipstheswitch 2014-01-16 04:49 am UTC (link)
	Yeah, that - I've never done that. The one time my brother walked in on me, I was with his girl. I'm not sure which is worse actually. Did you give your brother the boot at least? My memory is one that we have gotten past. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	l_a_t_e 2014-01-16 12:46 pm UTC (link)
	Yeah he rectified the situation once he realized what he'd done. Being caught with someone's girl's a bit more complicated. Been there, too. Glad you got past it. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	It took a few years, and a lot of bullshit to get over that. My dreams are a little bite of karmic hell, since my fiancé is my brother's girlfriend in them. Here's something even funnier. My brother's old girlfriend, the one he walked in on, and my fiancé are identical twins. I think it's time to give Jerry Springer a call. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	l_a_t_e 2014-01-16 08:24 pm UTC (link)
	That IS some Jerry Springer shit, man. My brother and I didn't end up swapping girls, but I did walk in on a friend once. Eh... awkward. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	flipstheswitch 2014-01-19 09:01 am UTC (link)
	Yeah, better than 90 percent of reality TV. My fiancé and her twin are very different, and I don't even think of them as sisters. I got one better. The sister was the one that turned my brother and I into vampires in our dreams. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	l_a_t_e 2014-01-19 09:43 pm UTC (link)
	I have met a lot of fantasy-type character dreamers, but no vampires, yet. You're the first. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	flipstheswitch 2014-01-20 05:18 pm UTC (link)
	There are a lot of vampires. My brother and in-laws are all playing the fang game. There are some others too. Some have become actual vampires. I seem to be the next in transition. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	l_a_t_e 2014-01-21 02:31 pm UTC (link)
	Apparently, I don't get out enough, but I was pretty well-aware of that already. Are you like cool with the transition thing, or is it like a bad thing? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	flipstheswitch 2014-01-21 09:31 pm UTC (link)
	I've been told that I need to get out less. I actually am pretty cool with it. If it's going to happen, I want to get on with it. I was never one to be half in or half out of the pool. Just jump in or don't bother. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	l_a_t_e 2014-01-21 10:42 pm UTC (link)
	I waver. Sometimes I'll be full tilt... and then usually something goes tits up and I regret it. Haven't found the right speed yet. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	flipstheswitch 2014-01-22 07:32 am UTC (link)
	I get it, man. I don't think I will ever find the right speed, but full tilt all the way. I didn't say it always works. I usually find a way to fuck up. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	OHMIGOSH... totally awkward!! (Reply to this) (Thread)

	flipstheswitch 2014-01-16 04:46 am UTC (link)
	That was my first thought, and after I kicked them out, I laughed my ass off. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	elatedorgassy 2014-01-16 06:40 am UTC (link)
	I would be mortified!! (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	flipstheswitch 2014-01-16 07:22 am UTC (link)
	I've seen a lot worse. I spent a year in a frat house in college, which explains a lot. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	elatedorgassy 2014-01-16 07:22 pm UTC (link)
	Things are worse there, aren't they? Yeah, I saw Animal House. It made me feel uncomfortable. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	flipstheswitch 2014-01-16 07:48 pm UTC (link)
	It wasn't as bad as Animal House. Well - it was bad though. I can't lie about that. There is some crazy shit going on there. I did survive, but killed quite a few brain cells in the process. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	elatedorgassy 2014-01-17 05:19 am UTC (link)
	I can literally not imagine. I'll be going to college next year, but I'll be staying away from frat houses, thankyouverymuch. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	flipstheswitch 2014-01-19 09:03 am UTC (link)
	Go to a party there at least once. You will be fine. Drinking like a brother is optional. You won't be attacked either. It's just fun. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	elatedorgassy 2014-01-20 05:10 am UTC (link)
	Won't they slip something into my drink?? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	flipstheswitch 2014-01-20 08:05 am UTC (link)
	I never did that - not even once. I promise, it isn't the movies. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	elatedorgassy 2014-01-21 06:07 am UTC (link)
	Really? Are you sure? I mean, they're out there, aren't they? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	flipstheswitch 2014-01-21 09:29 pm UTC (link)
	They are, just go with friends who have your back, and you'll be fine. Believe me, a lot of guys want the girl to remember it, and have fun, not be some drugged zombie. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	elatedorgassy 2014-01-22 04:55 am UTC (link)
	That would require friends. I don't have many of those yet. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	flipstheswitch 2014-01-22 07:33 am UTC (link)
	I'm sure it won't be a problem for long. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	elatedorgassy 2014-01-23 06:08 am UTC (link)
	Fingers crossed! :) (Reply to this) (Parent)

	iwantacastle 2014-01-16 02:10 am UTC (link)
	I've been in that situation myself. Heh. Awkward. As the student, not the teacher. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	flipstheswitch 2014-01-16 04:50 am UTC (link)
	So have I. I was standing there thinking I was the world's biggest hypocrite. I'm 23, not 50. I feel so old having to be the 'authority figure'. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	iwantacastle 2014-01-16 06:37 am UTC (link)
	When the age difference is only a few years, it makes things a little bit awkward. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	flipstheswitch 2014-01-16 07:24 am UTC (link)
	Very, especially since I am supposed to be one of the cool teachers. Yeah, I'm cool, but not in my room. I still can't quite get over it. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	iwantacastle 2014-01-16 07:22 pm UTC (link)
	Ah, you're one of the cool teachers? I'm sure that's why they thought they could get away with it. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	flipstheswitch 2014-01-16 07:49 pm UTC (link)
	The irony is seriously killing me. It's a good thing I have a sense of humor about the whole thing. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	iwantacastle 2014-01-17 05:25 am UTC (link)
	You MUST be one of the cool teachers, if you're laughing on it. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	flipstheswitch 2014-01-19 09:05 am UTC (link)
	It's funny. I can't help it. Plus, I'm only 5 years older than they are. I get it. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	iwantacastle 2014-01-20 05:07 am UTC (link)
	Wow. Only five years? ...how did you get your teaching credential in five years? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	flipstheswitch 2014-01-20 08:07 am UTC (link)
	No. Four. I went to UC Irvine right out of high school. In my 4th year of college, I was student teaching, tested during the summer and got hired by the same school. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	iwantacastle 2014-01-21 06:07 am UTC (link)
	You must have been driven. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	flipstheswitch 2014-01-21 09:28 pm UTC (link)
	That's all it takes. Major in history, minor in education. It's only a 4 year program if it's done right. I didn't want to spend more time at school than necessary. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	iwantacastle 2014-01-22 04:56 am UTC (link)
	School is expensive. SO I've heard. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	flipstheswitch 2014-01-22 07:34 am UTC (link)
	True that. Our family has money, so it wasn't that bad. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Good on you. I've never had much in that department. (Reply to this) (Parent)
