What to post?
Jul. 4th, 2017 11:19 amI would love to be active here, but it has been a long time since I've kept a journal and I no longer really know how to do so. I certainly don't know how to keep an "open" one, which this would be, about me as several me's. So, I don't know...
And, so, I'll go with unorganized, random facts!
Cory:
* I am the host, generally am the one fronting, and I make most the out world decisions. I'm an ESL teacher, and currently teaching elementary school aged students. I love talking education, learning, linguistics, and literature.
* I graduated from college *10 years ago* last December. (Jimmeny crickets, I. Am. Old.)
* When I let Journey mostly do the introductions without thinking about them too much, I let him choose "Cory" as my name, because it's a name I've always loved and sounds very gender-neutral, so it is a good central name for all of us to use. It wasn't until several hours later that Nate suddenly began laughing at the name, and I realized it could be a bad joke. And I know it will be now. At least we didn't go with Corey as a spelling.
* In the past, I was almost militantly against thinking about having any sort of relationship ever. Due to having some amazing friends who've shown me through their lives that relationships can work, I am less militant about it, but I still shrug it off.
* I am actually pretty child-like in a lot of ways. I like very few things that could be rated "for teens", and definitely nothing above that in ratings. I am mature and can talk about mature things, but things less than innocent freak me out, especially when they're entirely unnecessary.
* The Incredibles is The Best Movie Ever. The Neverending Story and Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory with Gene Wilder are really close seconds!
* I love, love, love books, but mostly I love books that are geared toward pre-teens. I also love to read nonfiction. But because I do not live in an English speaking country, books are really hard for me to come by.
* I love to get to know people! Please feel free to comment and ask questions! (I am going to try to get others to do random facts too.)
