Fitting in

ceitfiannaI had I think one of my best days of work today with lots of little and big moments. My school has special days and today was one of them, Diversity Day. The students organized all of the activities which were workshops talking about different ways of being outside of the group and how to create good dialogue and be respectful. For the teachers and staff, we did our own version of the same workshops which went great. Lunch was provided by the parents who made so much delicious food, I'm only now getting hungry after eating around 11:30. During the workshops, I was part of a lot of great conversations about fitting in, politics, religion, identity, the stuff I love.
During lunch, I got to talking about fandom with another teacher and a student who is in the library a lot said, I would take a class about fanfiction, the teacher also said we need to talk more. She teaches history but also does creative writing, so that was great. The day ended with an assembly of performances, I talked about two experiences I had in New Zealand; one of my being welcomed and the other of jokes by friends and asking them not to make them. It felt great, I ended it with my knees a little wobbly and smiling, before I left people kept telling me they enjoyed it.
Then after school, I talked a lot with some of the middle school students who are into programming including trying to stop one of them from trying to find out the admin password. There needs to be a better technology program or else these kids will be doing who knows what. I know they're interested because they keep joking and saying, we need a class to teach us ethics, I'd teach it. I just felt today as if I fit in with the community in so many ways, it was wonderful.
The weather is getting colder, which I'm grateful for as the past few days have been foggy and weirdly warm. I'd rather it be cold and clear than so foggy you can't tell the time.
I'm enjoying the character meme and am still open for more characters as I've only answered Charles and Demeter here and Will on LJ.
Ask me on this entry or here on the original entry.

This comes out in conversations and relationships, he's good at hiding it but there will be a something in his eyes, then he's gone in the morning. He also always has a way to get out of any situation, he would feel odd if he didn't have that.
Uberwald/Discworld: The Disc isn't like other worlds, its funny, magical and runs on narrative convenience. That means that if there's something that might be funny, but illogical yet would happen on the Disc, it should. I've used this as an excuse to get Moist into some awful situations. Though the Disc does have its own logic that it brings into things. That comes into play with how I've created his background from Uberwald. He's from a part of the Disc, where people are the low point on the food chain, where people are used to being scared. He rebelled against that but its also where he's from so it slips out.
Pleasure: Moist enjoys life and its luxuries from beautifully made suits to good food and enjoyable lovers. Sometimes he does a job to get more money to enjoy something.
Violence: Moist isn't violent, its a huge part of his character and causes some issues with Urquhart. As soon as violence comes into any of his crimes, it becomes far more severe and he doesn't want that. He just wants to steal money and enjoy being other people and traveling.
