I finally found someone who slavedrives herself more than me, and readily concede defeat.
I am currently serving time in Research Hell, drowning in databases that churn out tons of irrelevant stuff despite the numerous keyword permutations.
This is the extent of my sadomasochism, which apparently has a cooler name - self-defeating personality disorder.
First day back in KoolPurpleSkool since exams and it's my first time teaching 5 students back-to-back. It was slightly disconcerting, having to switch modes every 30 minutes, because all of them have such different personality types.
The new Korean student is un-readable. It's exciting in a way, because it makes me try harder. I think I have an obsession with trying to read people. Sometimes I really identify with Sylar, the "Heroes" villain, and the way he goes around cutting people's brains open to see how they work. He does it to absorb their powers; I don't do any of that gruesome stuff, but in a way I suppose knowledge is power, like the power to manipulate.
That is terrifying knowledge.
