LOVE MAIL

It's my youngest son's birthday, so I shouldn't be thinking about you guys.

But I feel bad.

I'm here at the District watching the Spongebob Squarepants movie and how Spongebob loves everything and I love that about Spongebob.

Mallary continues to surprise me. She's turned into one of my favorite poets and I don't think she was really into poetry before this class.

Michael is hilarious and I've thought so since his sophomore year.

Abby Waters doesn't swear at me even when I mark her absent on accident.

Tanner Johanson must be sick of me by now. English 10, TA, CW1, CW2, is he sick of me yet? Thanks for being real and funny and shy and funny. 
 
Kailee writes sick blog posts like this.

Squidward's talking about giving everyone refunds and I just hope these students don't ask me for a refund.

Morgan and Cass and McCall have broken the cheerleader stereotype. I'm serious. These girls have proven that you can be more than one thing and it's everything I've ever wanted people to get out of my class. They're dope writers and journalers and I'm glad they're in the class. I'm not afraid of cheerleaders anymore.

John melted the girls' hearts as a junior, so I can just imagine what he's doing to them this year. #jernhayes

Reagan has synesthesia and she said it so casually and it sounds amazing and you can read about it here.

Megan is Matt's little sister, and that means a lot to me. But it's getting close to "oh hey, that's Matt. That's Megan's older brother."

Tanner Thompson is Tim's little brother, and it will always be that way and I'm sorry. But his last blog post had me feeling some kind of way. (And I've never used that phrase before in my life.)

Sara is my daughter's favorite.

Plankton's talking about teamwork and he calls Spongebob the worst teammate ever. I felt like that today.

Isaac is good at Lacrosse and drawing and writing and other subjects and footbag and probably everything. And he's humble. What?

Abby Newell is a good person. I asked her to swear yesterday and she wouldn't. But she was smiling as she said it.

Annie probably doesn't do drugs and she probably never will. She took my class as a junior and I don't feel like she's ever left. In a good way.

Madeline is the Shawn Kemp of our class. Freak athlete who could jump out of the gym, but then they sold the Supersonics and I think he has like 17 biological children. I'm not sure that really connects, but I saw some socks at Nordstrom with him on it and I almost bought them even though they were $18. I seriously don't know how this connects with Madeline, but I've written more about her than anyone else, so I don't have time to explain anymore.

Colby has been on my mind since his sophomore year. That sounds really creepy. But I followed you to Arizona and I'm just glad you're home.


JJ wasn't supposed to be in this class, but I'm so glad she is. Her mom favorites some of my tweets.

Micah won the cutest couple with Mitchell Squires in the WritersParis Film Festival and I think she should win cutest couple when she was pretending to be me.

Squidward tells everyone it was fun while it lasted. We only have 16 classes left together.

Natty is Zack's little sister and I can still remember the video she made for the film festival. Just her in the forest. Goofy faces and poetry and it was dope squared.

Mallory, Ashley, and Saige aren't in the class anymore, but they still helped build our broken plane.

Sam is smart and I'm always trying to impress her.

C.J. has all the good ideas and I should do whatever she suggests.

McKay's blog was one of the greatest of all time. I talk trash that girls are the best writers and boys are cowards, but McKay is easily one of the most creative cats in the game. He changed what a blog could be.

Cole is a lyricist. He's a deep thinker who reminds me of myself when I was younger. Only he's much more opinionated and intelligent.

Taylor is straight up now tell me. There's no playing games with her and I DIG THAT ABOUT YOU MAN.

Emma is Clark's sister and I remember I once made the joke that Fruehan sounds like a yogurt, but I don't ever think of yogurt when I see her.

Natalie plays footbag sometimes with us during lunch and her leg bends sort of weird so now we call that kick The Pliler Leg.

Maddi's Beyonce rendition at the Noscars still blows my mind. How could such a powerful voice come out of such a small, quiet person?

Jess should be the president of the class.

Hannah doesn't talk much but she can sing the freaking roof off.

Hailey is directing A Winter's Tale, which plays tomorrow, Thursday, and Friday. Holy crap.

I need to shave my head. I need to trim my nose hairs. I'm doing a TEDx talk tomorrow for crying out loud, I shouldn't be writing this freaking blog post.

But at the end of the Spongebob movie, the dolphin (Bubbles) had a freestyle rap battle with a seagull and it made me think of you guys. This year will always be the specialest....
