The dreaded Teacher Auction is this upcoming Friday, and rumors have been flying around the school about who's buying who, and which teachers are in the auction. The official list of teachers comes out tomorrow, so my homework for the weekend was to write a biography about myself (I guess that's an autobiography, huh?) in both English and Spanish. It was not an easy assignment. It's not easy to write about yourself, so Maribeth, Ashley, and I got together to help each other out. Here's my bio. I think it sums me up pretty well, let me know what you think.
- Mi cabello es rizado o lasio, depende de clima
- Tengo una obsesion extrano con el color morado
- Soy de Pensilvania (no Transilvania como Dracula)
Me gusta:
- Bailar de salsa & salsa de aji
- Tejer a crochet
- Beisbol
- Libros
- Postres
No me gusta:
- Champinonas
- Alahas
- Los persona que masticar con boca abierta
- Rod Stewart
- Demasiados de comas
Translation for those of you who did not understand a word of that:
- My hair is curly or straight, depending on the weather (Editor's note: Maribeth insisted we start with a physical description, since that's really all they're probably interested in.)
- I have a strange obsession with the color purple
- I'm from Pennsylvania (not Transylvania, like Dracula)
Likes:
- Salsa dancing & salsa the condiment
- Crocheting
- Baseball
- Books
- Dessert
Dislikes:
- Mushrooms
- Jewelry
- People who eat with their mouth open (Editor's Note: This is important, since I have to eat dinner with them)
- Rod Stewart
- Comma splices
- I intimidate men when I explain the infield fly rule (Editor's note: Did not bother to translate this one. Am convinced this is the reason I'm still single. Right, Holli?)

It's really a simple problem. Stick to explaining why everyone screams "BALK!" on the fake to 3rd-throw to 1st move. Far less indimidating. Save the Infield Fly for the 2nd or 3rd date.
That move never works. Why do they even bother?
Oh Kelli, If we discussed all the reasons why you're still single, we'd be here all day. Please refer to Tip #327 of my new book (yet to be titled/written) which tells us how we must pretend not to understand elements, rules, and/or broad concepts of anything resembling a sport.
Everytime I hear that (or say it myself) it suddenly works again. I saw it at least 5 times watching MLB last year. Granted it was tried at least 500 to get those 5, but still.
As for the overlying theme... I think it's okay if the girl knows sports. It's when she knows MORE that you run into a problem.
Given that Kelli has called college baseball and I have a tape of it sitting around here somewhere probably (did you call a game on the FM?). she definately knows quite a bit.
