A short excerpt from a conversation in Biology class...

Biology Teacher: "Pan, I like the questions you ask in the class, you think in a special manner."
Pan: "umm...does that mean in a good way or bad way?"
Biology Teacher: "I just mean that you're a special person... different from everyone else, you know"
Pan: "Ah, I'm different then, and special!"
Biology Teacher: "Yes, that's exactly the word for it, different"
CB (random unimportant guy in class): "What he really means is that you're such special person Pan, that you should go to a special school for special people who think in the special manner that you do"
Biology Teacher: "Exactly..."
Pan: "What...?"
Biology Teacher and CB: "Nothing...absolutely nothing."

Fine, now I'm abnormal...*drama queen sigh* why me? Is this because I'm left handed? Is it because I'm a socialist sympathizer? Is it because I'm obsessed with ducks? Is it because I'm paranoid about neatness and organization to the extent that I can't write on a sheet of paper unless it has margins on both sides? Is it because I can't roll my tongue like most people and for some reason everybody has to pick on me for it? Or is it just because I'm attracted to gay men who are English teachers? I'm not too sure actually...
On a completely unrealted note, I snapped at my Maths teacher and am feeling guilty about it because he didn't deserve my blatant rudeness, even though he was being rather irritating.
On another unrelated note, went shopping and drove TPF absolutely mad due to my whinging and indecisiveness. I don't think she likes me anymore.

TPF hates you.

Aww, TPF may hate me but you sure do love me don't you, Fat Midget?

I did apologise to TPF after all for starving her and for her bag too. Its not my fault that she's so testy and always late. Its the principle you see!

Eris said...

so im not the only one who thinks you belong in a special school?
your bio teacher sounds creepy.

Had an argument with my Biology teacher about evolution, where he kind of admitted that I was right. (Remind me to make a seperate post on this sometime, I'm rather passionate about it!)
Thereby you're reminded and I'm terribly curious. And yes the prof sounds creepy.

Her bio teacher is creepy. Pan is the only who likes him. Which is even creepier.

Pan, you do realize that you're that one in nine people who can't roll their tongue? That officially makes you abnormal, your other quirks aside. And you should stop being so mean to your maths teacher. That man loves you and all you do is treat him like dirt. You should be ashamed of yourself.

And that is even worse than the way you treat me, btw. Seriously, you're such a nuisance. I don't know why I insist on befriending you.

I am really glad that I'm not the only one who has had a crush on an openly gay guy that was totally unattainable. Also, I loved your English Teachers and Bad Boys post. That was great. It's totally cool that you dig Aladdin. I've always been a fan of Prince Eric from The Little Mermaid.

Panacea said...

Eris - Yoy're telling me I have mental problems? Its like the pot calling the kettle black!

Nitin - Alright, you've given my next post, but you'll have to excuse its serious nature and my ranting :D

TPF - There is absolutely nothing wrong in not being able to roll your tongue. Its a genetic thing! You can't blame me for it and it is definitely not a sensitive issue for me.
Umm...you insist on befriending me because I'm the best alternative you have. Its either Mags or me and between the drug addict idiot and the whinging nag you would rather have me :D

Nitin and Eris - Please don't listen to TPF, my bio teacher is not that creepy, (alright, I admit it, he's a little creepy!) but he's just not a social person and he doesn't have too many friends. When you get to know him, he can be really nice. As I said before, crappy teacher, but a nice person.

Meg - And here I was thinking I'm the only lost soul in the world who finds gay men rather attractive. Prince Eric is definitely fan worthy. I mean, how low open is that shirt of his ;)

Should I remind you of the time you wanted to go and sit with your bio teacher during lunch????!!!

It's understandable maths teacher loves you... you are both Indian.
(And no, I refuse to aknowledge him havig lived in Canada)

Sophia said...

About this rolling of the tongue, there was a time when I seemed like the only person who couldn't do it either. But one day I just sat in front of the mirror, folded my tongue with my fingers, and practiced this until I could do it myself. I don't remember how long it took, but today I roll my tongue effortlessly. Where there's a will, there's a way! (Incidentally, this is also how I learned how to raise one eyebrow.)

Panacea said...

Harry - Alright, lets work this out using your warped up logic. You're born in Canada, your parents are Italian and you've lived in Italy all your life. Just because you have a Canadian passport, you're Canadian according to yourself.
Now lets use the same logic, Mr. M was born in Uganda and he lived in Uganda till he was 15, then he did his A-levels and University in the UK and then lived in Canada for the rest of his life. So according to your logic isn't he supposed to be Ugandan? Where does India enter the picture?
You and your stupid logic exhausts me.
The only reason I wanted us to sit with Bio teacher for lunch was because he was alone. He doesn't have friends and I don't want him to be alone all the time...

Sophia - God, now you've given me a great idea and a way around my whole genetic tongue rolling problem. This is what I'm going to spend the next few days of my free time doing. Although I'm sure I'll never manage to raise one eyebrows. But who knows enthusiasm and will power can work wonders! :D

The Poodle's Friend said...

Um, sorry to curb your enthusiasm, but you can't exactly learn tongue-rolling. Sophia probably knew how to do it but she just hadn't ever tried hard enough before. I'm sorry, Pan, you'll be an outcast for life.

Panacea said...

TPF - Not being able to roll my tongue does not make me an outcast. As I told you before, tongue rolling is not an issue with me. I've completely come to terms with my genetic disability.

Frankengirl - See, now you've made me feel better unlike my unsympathetic and not to mention, very mean friends :D
I always thought crushes on gay men was just a female stereotype untile I had one myself.
