his name was mr. o’hagan and he was undoubtedly the single coolest person ive ever met. he would play his favourite albums in class and make the person at the door watch just in case our principal came in. never raised his voice and would wait a few seconds between his sentences to find the right words, so the classroom would hang in silence. on the final day of my time in high school, he wore a short sleeve shirt for the first time and I found out he had these twisting vine tattoos along both of his arms and he gave me a copy of never let me go

my freshman year of high school i went to a new school and i didnt know how to do school well bc i have learning disabilities. it was an academically rigorous traditional school and i forgot to do my homework bc i was bad at planning ahead and like generally keeping track of things. anyway like the first week of this new school i get to class and got called on about the homework and i had to say in front of the class that i forgot. this teacher was known to be an odd ball/old school and he yelled at me and sent me out of class and asked me and told me only to return when i was prepared and ready to learn. needless to say i was stunned and packed up my stuff and ran out crying. i mean i was literally like 14.
this then became the folklore everyone told new students about this teacher and it got passed down but no one realized it was me and when i became like a senior i would tell freshman and they were like that was you?!?!
anyway this teacher years later got clocked for sexual misconduct and buying kids alcohol lol

Get back in touch with that one teach who made you read Dubliners or A Fan's Notes or whatever. They love spilling tea about the other teachers you hated who made you read Beowulf.
It's usually awful information, but nonetheless scintillating information

you can be a vibe if you want to! wear those oversized jeans you don’t know if you suit! light your cigs with a box of matches! play chess in a field with your friend! every time you do something like that and you don’t give a fuck, you get a little bit closer to having the best vibe out there

like cooking, it’s about seeing those enjoy what you play them than the process itself!

my brother is 2 years older and he decided to sneak into my room and cover my face in sudocrem. my parents walked in, he started crying, I started crying and they immediately thought “we have to capture this”
