Substitute teachers are taking over the school! All things considered, I'd rather have Ms. Creepy Valinda than Ms. (lol bad word) Enid. Or maybe I wouldn't... time will tell.

Sorry for the spotty comments. I'm still avidly reading, just working nights now so I get home and go pass out until it's time to wake up and go do it all over again. Blech.

See, this is the problem with allowing student placements...

I remember I once had a substitute teacher that would spend the whole hour telling the story of how he got his leg scar (apparently he either saved an Arabian princess from a sawfish or fell of a ladder while painting).

Also, Enid isn't weird or supernatural either. On the other hand, she is totally awesome. Or maybe totally stoned.

I'm back! Been reading just haven't commented in way too long.
It (Whatever "it" IS) changes to suit each class??
I think MY weirdest moment with a sub is that two of mine are/were neighbors.
The male one lives next door to my parents (He looks like the guy who played Socrates in Bill & Ted)
And the other lived in the subdivision she was a friend...At least until she got arrested for being a madam. (No, I'm not kidding)
Are these things feeding off of the kids energy? Or is it just one of them?
Can't wait to see how this one turns out!

I prefer Miss Enid - Miss Valinda's too in-your-face. She tries too hard. Enid's more laissez-faire, she's got the right attitude.

I agree with the "totally stoned" theory. I bet all stoners wish they had the power to stop loud annoying noises and to make the people around them shut up and leave them alone. It does seem to be contagious though - the whole class got stoned and lost several hours just by being in the same room. That's potent stuff!

By the way, Facebook is evil and only lets you click "Like" if you are actually a member of the brainwashed masses... er, I mean, if you have a Facebook account :D

VW: dikules. I can't. I just can't. Too... many... childish... jokes.

Ms. Enid seems kinda stoner-ish, but she's a bit too snappy. Needs to be more laid back for a true stoner-feel. But now I think I'm getting a feel for this installment's monster(s). But I'm going to wait to see what happens after lunch to voice it, just so I may have more supporting evidence.

vw: Theries: the correct term for theories that have not been fully thought out. ex: Dill had a few theries about why some vampires sparkle, but got distracted by ice cream sandwiches so never finished his chain of mangled logic. (Had to do with how icky girls like sparkly things because girls are stupid and don't appreciate the finer things in life like blood and fire and turning into bats. You know, the real cool stuff!)

Rai -
Of course you would - because Ms. Valinda's dreeeeeeaaaaaamy!

No problem...hope things get easier soon!

Rubberduck -
One of my friends had a substitute teacher who had gotten bitten by a cobra during the Vietnam War, the only thing that saved him was it had evidently bitten something earlier and used up most of its venom, so he lived.

Maybe Ms. Enid has some odorless, invisible wacky tabacky she's burning like incense...

Mary -
Welcome back!

Exxxxxcelllllent! So Crates!

Woooo! The madam is even better! Dang, your stories are crazier than Peter's...

Cat -
All right, everyone, Cat is in favor of the "Whatever, kid, leave me alone" school of education!

I had a few teachers like that, I think.

Yes, resist the naughtiness of the V-word, Cat! RESIST!

Hoboe -
I agree. She's not really a stoner...she's more of a socially inept/maladjusted, misanthropic hipster. She's not fun enough to be a stoner.

And Dill has nothing BUT theries.

On Ms. Enid's stoner-ness or lack thereof: her crankiness would actually be just about perfect for someone who'd done Ecstasy on the previous Saturday night. I am told it takes a few days for one's serotonin levels to get back to normal...
