I wish I could squoze things. You might also want to take a few EM classes, Brandy - they're pretty fun from what I hear. Though, next semester is apparently not the right time. I tend to make friends with my teachers, it worked better in HS, but I've been able to do it a bit at the university.

Actually, as I recall, I HAVE to take one for VC, though taking a few more isn't a bad idea.
See? Venom, you're not alone!
This gives me a fun idea for a WoW guild name--FriendsWithTeacher. XD

I had an awesome art history teacher in college. He was kinda weird and made all these bizarre jokes. For example, one day, we were looking at a gothic kind of house, and he said, "Uh oh, someone warn Brad and Janet!" There were three of us in the first two rows who got it. Everyone else was silent. That was a great class.

That reminds me, I need to see Rocky Horror Picture Show all the way through. I've only seen parts of it. He's got to be an awesome teacher if he references that movie, though.

He was great! Wiseass, hippie, idiot, and prof all mixed into one.
One day, I was hanging around the coffee shop with some friends. He came in, and we had a question for him. No one sitting at the table could remember if he was a Dr, a Mr, or just Professor. So, being the complete social lackwit I still am, I looked over at him and yelled "HEY CARTER!" He turned around, fixed me with a level stare, and said, "Ah. Miss Parker. Or is it Wolf? In any case, 'HEY' is not generally regarded as an appropriate title for a college professor." I responded, "I honestly couldn't remember what your title was." He kind of looked at me funny and said, "When in doubt, Professor is usually a safe bet. Even the hoity-toities with their doctractes will answer to that. So what did you need?"
Just the way he carried off the whole conversation so inoffensively was hilarious. Something to remember about me, I went through a phase in college where I wore a black robe and a red-and-black spiked hat with a tail on it to class every day. Ahh, so many funny stories about that hat. And the robe.

I don't find that kind of talk all that uncommon, alot of {title here} are just plain strange, like they all go to strange university before they teach anything. At least in my experience almost all of them were just plain weird. Creeps me out. The professor actually referenced you as Wolf? That's funny!
That's some strange clothing to wear, especially every day, but it definitely sounds like something to remember a person by. So, what kind of funny stories? *is listening*

Well, one day after acting class, I was walking across campus with my partner. We'd just done the prison scene from Mary, Queen of Scots, and were discussing it. We'd done the scene in some minimalist theme, so I was wearing a black robe, she was wearing a black gown. Anyway, I had the hat on, too, and there was this guy walking behind us, humming this tune I recognized, but couldn't put a name to. After a while, I turned and asked him what it was that he was humming.
He got totally flustered, and kind of stammered out the name of the tune. He mentioned that he was in the choir at St. Mary's, and the director's name. I've known John since I was a kid, so I told the guy to tell him "hi." At the time, I was working at another church, and couldn't go to St. Mary's.
Well, he went and told John the story. I caught up with John a few days later. ((This was right after he moved back to town.)) He told me that Steve had "encountered" me on campus, and even though he didn't know my name, John knew it was me he was talking about. I'd totally freaked Steve out, and John still knew it was me, even though we hadn't been in touch for a few years.

Yay! I love scaring people. One time in my freshman year of high school I was waiting for the bus to go home and this kid started throwing rocks at me. I first lectured him about being rude and immature, but his general attitude was "Yeah, so what?", and he kept throwing rocks. So, I changed tactics. I sat down on the curb next to him, leaned very close to him, and said:
"Death comes in the form of a black cat!" And then I started meowing at thim. Over and over. He was totally freaked out, and ran away and hid behind his friends, who looked at him like HE was the freak! He stayed scared of me for all the rest of high school. 'Twas awesome.
By the way, Pipe Organ, I wanted to let you know that Incendiary Cheese Wraith is now a rank on the forum (though it takes like 2000 posts to become one). Hope you don't mind.

Oh SWEET! I'm overwhelmed they're that popular! I went back into the archives to find out when they were created. The document they're first mentioned in was created Thursday, July24, 2003. Just in case you were interested. Wow! A forum rank. That's awesome!
"Death comes in the form of a black cat!" Poofie, that's awesome! What a tactic! You so deserve karma for that!

Oh, you mean Wapsi? Yeah, I love them. They just keep getting cooler the more you read. I still shudder to think of the work that went into the print, though. 2003, you say? They're still updating 5 days a week even now!
Thank you! That originally came from another dream, where the angel of death was this freaky black cat. I was sick and slightly delerious when I had that dream, but it was one of the more memorable of the ones I've had.

I don't know what Wapsi is. I was talking about going into my own writing archives to see when the ICW's happened.

OH. Wapsi Square is a webcomic I read that I referenced. WOOPS. I think my brain needs a major revamp, because I seemed to have only absorbed half that paragraph. >.<
Zombie moose is the highest forum rank though.

Ahh. It must have been the word "archive" that threw you.
S'okay! Zombie Moose are cool, if rather frightening. I'm still just totally pumped that someone liked them enough to use them at all!
