| missing & exploited children, zombie breakout |
[Mar. 16th, 2009|09:58 pm] |
[other day, after watching Changeling:]
My son is missing and the police won't look for him.
Some people are abusing little kids. There's no medical justification for the anal probes, and I suspect they're doing worse.
[next day, after getting killed by an ettin zombie in NetHack:]
Zombies are after me. I'm climbing a chain link fence, and the zombie mob is right behind me. I'm hoping I can reach the next fence when this one bends down, and that when I get off the first one it will spring back and they won't be able to immediately follow, but maybe they'll just climb up and weigh it down too. I make it to the river (or possibly ocean bay--swimming away could be a workable escape), and sit quietly in the water. Gradually other people silently join me, sitting waist-deep in the water under the bridge, hoping to go unnoticed by the zombies & be safe. A woman and her little boy, some others drifting in alone. Then zombies begin to arrive, and they look like us and it's hard to tell on sight, and then I'm fending them off by stabbing them with a pencil, which stops and turns them briefly but they keep coming back. |

| dream: overheard conversation about student |

I have some stuff I'm carrying around that maybe should go in one of the school lockers; some of it is stuff that maybe could work as prizes for students--stickers mostly, some of them word balloons. I'm not clear on whether I have a locker; I don't know a combination, and I don't know whether putting the stuff in an unlocked locker, like these two that seem to have been recently cleared out and cleaned, is a good idea.
I'm teaching in a school, as an intern or as part of a team, and I end up having a conversation with another teacher that mentions a student named Monica, who is apparently disruptive and troubled and not well liked by her peers. A student overhears the conversation and something gets back to other people, and someone wants to talk to me about inappropriate attitudes or comments, and I'm trying to figure out who I need to talk to, and exactly what I need to say, because they seem to have gotten the impression that I said I didn't like Monica, which is not what I said or meant and isn't even true--the conversation just acknowledged in the course of talking about general principles that a student like Monica might have more trouble in a given situation, because of her behavior problems and lack of popularity. Or something like that. The problem is exacerbated because I can't quite keep track of who is who among the adults--there is an Asian woman with short black hair, and a Caucasian woman with longer brown hair, and maybe another Asian woman with medium-length greying hair, and I can't remember their names or which one is the person I probably need to talk to, and I don't want to let on about that confusion either. Then Monica's mom shows up in the library as I'm talking with Monica and helping her pick out a book, and I start to say something to her about how we should talk because there seems to have been a misunderstanding, but it's too late and she takes Monica away, possibly to pull her out of the school. Sinking hopeless feeling, guilt, anxiety. |

| plea for wanted features |
[May. 30th, 2006|10:18 am] |
Does anyone know of a way to look at:
1.) LJ tags by usage, *for a given time period*
2.) a list of subject lines and dates for LJ entries with a given tag, without having to look at all of the entries in their entirety
I would happily use either LJ features (although having poked around in the help files and experimented, I don't think they allow for this) or second-party features, if anyone knows a way. |
