Well...

Some relaxing with both my sons...

At least for me and my older son, cause the younger seems to be having the least fun

All of them. And from now on they'll be known as Alex 1.0 and Alex 2.0

Anyway, I dyed my hair yesterday.

So black it HURTS.

(Sorry, this'll be a long post, but I'm just gonna copy this all from my LJ entry - my "for-my-parents-so-it's-all-PC-and-happy-rainbows"LJ)

Today was my school's graduation ceremony for the 3rd year students. It really was an excellent and sad day. Everyone was dressed up, and feeling both sad and happy about the ceremony. One of the English teachers, Ishizuka-sensei, dressed in traditional clothes and looked really amazing. She told me she had to have the home ec. teacher dress her for half an hour, but the results were great!

The ceremony was held in the gym in the morning, and was very formal. It basically comprised of various combinations of 'sit down' and 'stand up' and 'bow' commands thrown at various combinations of all the groups of people involved (the teachers, the parents, the 2nd and 1st year students and the 3rd year graduating students). I got up and sat down so many times I lost count. Sometimes only sitting for 30 seconds before having to get up again. Speeches weren't too long, and students weren't given a certificate one by one like in Australia. They had one representative per homeroom receive a certificate, though everyone's names were called out.

These are a photos of after the ceremony:

At the back of the gym was the school band, conducted by the music teacher who is about the coolest thing in the world. I know he's gay. I -know- it. He's way too good looking to be straight. Anyway, he looked so cool conducting the crappy band, I tried to get a decent photo of him but it didn't work. Ah well.

Eventually it was over and the kids filed out one by one, looking so mature and happy to be done. I felt quite proud of them, and I'm really going to miss them. They were a good lot.

After the ceremony, I made my way back to the English teachers' room and tried to kill some time, waiting for the group of students that Chizuko and I teach after school. I had made crappy little cards for them all with my email address and a little Australian animal badge on them. Not much but it was something, and I'd like to at least give them the chance to keep in contact. My best student without a doubt is Ayano, and I'm confident she'll write to me.

This is such a good photo of them! I really can't believe how well it portrays everyone in it. On the left are Iwahori-sensei and Chizuko-sensei - definitely the two teachers I'm closest to. Sagara-kun is the first student on the left and was definitely my best boy. The other boys, as shameful as it is, I can't remember their names. 2 of the 3 didn't come to the after-school class all that often. The girl is Ayano-san and she was both my best student and the student I'm the closest with. She actually gave me a cake she'd baked for me today (well, she called it 'cake' but it was like a slice of a brownie).

It was insanely delicious, despite it's sneakily plain appearance.

There was much hugging, and thanking, and everyone was happy and excited. Ayano cried and we all signed her year book (which was REALLY good, a zillion times better than anything any of my schools ever produced. I'm gonna try and get a copy, no matter how much I have to pay).

So, that's that then. I now have an easy month of preparing for my final semester at Yokosuka Koko.

Impressed by the vission of Helm's dad, I decided to post my parents. Hope everyone follows the example and post pics of his DNA donants.

This is mom, with a t-shirt that obviously was too small for her.

And this is dad. Dunno why he is so happy.

If this has success I'll post the pics of them, nowadays, to see how the time affects people. Fortunatelly, not a lot to dad and mom...

Nacho · Wed 01/03/2006 18:45:14

She is, I heritaged her ears.

EDIT: Eric, do you mean "What about if she is not my mom?" or "What about if she is not good at bed?"

Because I am discussing the meaning with Helm at msn and if it's answer "b" I goofed the joke...

New edit: The nowadays! I'll try to fing photos of mom without sunglasses. Added also La_Lore's mom photo, who is hot also.

Aight, we were playing country... in suits... and a terrible hangover, hence the bored look... in our school, my and my friend as the bassist. I guess I'm now officially in the guitar club, eh?

Nacho · Tue 07/03/2006 12:23:30

Totally agree with the explanation of the correct translations.

So... I am son of Helm and Yufster, who were took to the seventies by Eric Feurstein?!?

pheeew...

And now, with the only desire to annoy the old school feminists who understand feminism as loss of feminity, and to make Helm's day... My mom again, foxier than ever! (Hope this explains why I have problems with islamists, see? We even make "fiestas" where we slaughter them... Spanish folklore!)

Helm · Tue 07/03/2006 12:47:38

Why, yes, let us compare daggers!

Here I am keeping tabs on your mom in the past. My beautiful legs are only second to hers.
