Same!  I enjoy celebrating it with my students.  It was sad this year because they weren't allowed to exchange physical cards, so we didn't do fun boxes or anything. :(  We did digital cards on Google Slides instead... not the same.

Aw, some of my kids did that in their classes too and hated making them. It's not the same.

I like one-word titles.  Are there any other titles you're considering?

Not at the moment. I think I might stick with it but we'll see if another one doesn't jump at me before the weekend is over.

Side note... So for the story I'm going to be posting after this weekend and If I Knew Then is done... I am not sure if I want to keep the title as it is or if I want to change the title. I'm undecided. It's called History like the song by One Direction. The song kind of fits the theme. But I am not sure.

I've never heard the song. I'd also like a list of other potential titles and a summary to fully weigh in.

Beauty and the Beast, but the beast is the creature from the black lagoon. That's the whole premise.

Didn't Nick originally want to be the creature from the black lagoon in the Everybody video? I think that's where this "weirdest fanfic you can think of" came from. Why do you love all my joke ideas? That's two now that you said should be legitimate fanfics. haha (Death by snail doesn't count as a "legitimate" fanfic even though it will be beautiful.)

Yeah, I think so.  Nick made a hot mummy, but Creature of the Black Lagoon is more him, with his love of water.  They should have let him be the Creature and made Kevin the mummy instead of his weird Jekyll/Hyde thing.

Some of the best ideas start as jokes!

I bought a Google Slides from TPT that had a bunch of cute animated stickers and punny sayings with trendy themes, including Among Us and Fortnite, so they were excited about that.  But I will miss seeing their fun boxes.  I'm sure the parents are thrilled they don't have to help make them though! LOL

I always hated valentines day. I never got cards from the other kids cause I was picked on a lot for being the weird kid. Then as an adult. I've only had a date twice. Once wasy ex Joe who took me to the olive garden and got me a fake rose since I said I didn't like getting real flowers due to the fact they die.

Then the other one wasn't really a date but this guy I was talking to at the time named Will stopped by my job and gave me flowers and brought me chocolate, and sushi for lunch since I had to work. We were only together a month, I dumped him cause he tried to control me. I also found out he tried to pick up my cousin when we were together. Valentines day for me is a day to get excited only cause chocolate on the 15th is on sale 50 percent off. I'm now a diabetic so I can't even fully enjoy that. I'll live through my characters instead xD

If I remember right nick said the reason they didn't do creature from the black lagoon was cause you wouldn't be able to tell it was him with the makeup so they went with the mummy.

Aww, that is sad.  We've always had a rule that if the kids are going to bring Valentines (which is not required), they have to have one for everyone in the class.  It's definitely more fun in elementary school than junior high and high school.

I feel like they could have taken some creative license and figured the makeup out like they did with the other guys.  He made a good mummy though.

I think that's right, that you wouldn't be able to see his face in the makeup (though I agree, of all directors to have the creative vision to do it, that one would be it... Joseph Kahn sound right?). However, as it was in the peak of his transition from "the cute tiny one" to "teen heartthrob," seeing his face was very important.

Oh, I know. That's how all of our minds work. Obscure jokes that turn into fanfics are always the best!

The not being able to enjoy chocolate half off is the icing on that disappointing cake. You're awesome! :) Mean-spirited people are not worth the time.

Yup, that's the rule we have as well. All or none.

I also have a side note... Back on our sex topic: what's the least stupid way to write "If you keep looking at me like you want me, I'll have sex with you again right now." Because I have been trying different things for months and they all sound so stupid... (including that)

  • "I’ll do it again if you keep looking at me like that."
  • "Keep looking at me like that if you want seconds."
  • "Keep looking at me like that and I'll have you again."
  • "$&@%!"

I've given up, basically, haha.

Honestly, I like it the way you originally phrased it best: "If you keep looking at me like you want me, I'll have sex with you again right now."  It's direct, no cheesy innuendos.  I would maybe shorten it to "If you keep looking at me like that, I'll have sex with you again right now."  Or "Keep looking at me like that, and I'll fuck your brains out," depending on how crude the character is LOL.

You're probably right, Julie. I looked at it again while writing it for context for y'all and thought that it actually wasn't half bad. I'll probably go pop it in and see how I feel about it in a week.

Seconds, haha. It was that way for two weeks and it just looked so stupid every time I looked at it.
