omg Mr. Mathis

SQUEEEEEE!!!

Mr. Mathis has a posted email address on the Edmond Memorial High School website!!

Oh god.

Do I email him? Tell him about the daydreams I used to have in class about him? About the yearly dreams I still have?

GAH! I have wondered for years what I'd do with this information... and now it's here... right in front of me.

Note: the amount of freaking out I'm doing is directly related to the amount of amusement I get from freaking out. I'm giving my life all the humorous dramatics I can give it at the moment. ;)

Email him or I'll kill you.

[juldea.livejournal.com]

That's a convincing argument. Want to help me craft the email? ;)

[azadam.livejournal.com]

From the king of humorous dramatics...

I say e-mail him. ;) When it comes to embarrassment vs. great new stories, you know what wins.

[juldea.livejournal.com]

You are so right there!

Do you think I should ask him if he's gay?

[azadam.livejournal.com]

Hmm... I'd lead into it easy, just strike up a "hey, how are you?!" kinda thing, and then maybe drop something about having a crush on him, etc. :P Or mention some guy from your class back then and say, "I remember he had such a crush on you!"

Just gotta finesse it out of him. ;) I figure if he's kept it a secret for this long, he probably won't give it up too easily since you could easily spread the info back to current students...

Bah. He gave me his CABIN ADDRESS - he trusted me then to keep secrets, so perhaps if he remembers me he'd trust me now? ;)

Although, I have to admit, I'd be hard pressed to keep from posting that (friends-only, of course) on here. ;)

Despite all the warnings from the peanut gallery, I stand by my prior assertion. ;)

> When it comes to embarrassment vs. great new stories, you know what wins.

Speaking of HS teachers, did you know (of) Mrs. Harrold? She found my blog recently and sent me a long note. :P Although perhaps seeing pictures of me jogged her memory. Maybe you should attach one of yourself if you write Mr. M, just to up your odds of being remembered...

[juldea.livejournal.com]

I totally remember Mrs. Harrold. I never had any classes with her, but I did Medieval Club. I think it's cool that she found you - she must've been looking for old students!

Hmm, sending pictures to Mr. Mathis... This provides opportunity for many amusing thoughts. ;) I'm such a bad girl!

[azadam.livejournal.com]

Actually, I had a dream about her once when I was first writing my blog. I'm now the #1 and #2 results for the search "Patti Harrold." :P

Mmm, pictures for Mr. Mathis. "Ooops, I sent you one from my private folder! I'm so embarrassed, I've been such a naughty, naughty girl. Very naughty."

[juldea.livejournal.com]

Heh. Maybe I should make a LJ post with nothing but "Steve Mathis" in it! ;)

Julia. Are you crazy. He was my teacher for two years, I went back to visit when I was at OU, and he didn't hardly remember me! He won't remember you either, except that suddenly all indications that you were a crazy girl when you were his student will become remarkably clear... who has been harboring delusions of finding love for the last 6 years. And having creepy dreams.

[ex-dervish821.livejournal.com]

Glad somebody else said it.

[juldea.livejournal.com]

Hey, hey, read the fine print up there - my obsession here is mostly joking. I haven't been harboring "delusions of love" since, well, 1999. Heh. I'm simply amused by allowed my imagination to run wild. :)

I will argue, however, that he DID give me his cabin address back then, which I'm going to guess wasn't very common. So I'm going to say that he will probably remember me, even if it's just as a student that he knew a little better than others.

Man, I hope he's gay, else I am totally out of a girlfriend.

[juldea.livejournal.com]

Well... possibly. Although if you were to put on some nice-fitting Wranglers, I bet your ass would put his to shame. That would be pivotal in my decision-making process.

His ass in Wranglers was the subject of many a wistful sigh back in high school.

Oh, and you have the hair. Hmm. This might be tough. ;)

Hrm, you know, I wrote a TA a few years ago that I had crushed on when I was dating Adam. He responded in such a vanilla (I have no idea who you are) kind of way that I was unwittingly completely insulted.

I wouldn't do it, but if you must, I would leave out the stuff about the dreams.

This is a person who just might show up at your high school reunions and that might become a teeny bit uncomfortable.

[juldea.livejournal.com]

Heh, I'm not actually planning on writing a "I love you so much and I've had dreams about you for years and we're meant to be together" email. Just a "hey, you were an awesome teacher and I wanted to let you know, and tell you a little bit about how one of your favorite students [grin] ended up" email. Heh.

Mmm, reunions. I hadn't thought about that before. Perfect opportunities for one-nighters! ;) (Once again, JOKE!)
