that is, our may-november festish.
i return to you now, after too long of an absence, with a national/international story out of time magazine: why are so many female florida teachers sleeping with male students?
wouldn't we like to know?
the syndrome is being blamed on several things, such as blurred lines between teacher-student relationships, more social acceptance of practices like hugging (something tells me that sex is not one of those things that is ever going to be okay between teachers and students), and the like. but for whatever reason, it is more common in florida than anywhere else in the country.
they do have an interesting theory, which will make me up my cardigan collection as i venture into work with college students:
But why should Florida seem to be experiencing an especially high number of such cases? Are those women, and for that matter the hormonally charged boys they target, somehow egged on by the state's more sexually relaxed atmosphere, with its sultry climate and scantily clad beach culture? (California also has a high rate of teacher sexual misconduct.)
that's the reason. beaches.
so hooray for steamy days turning into steamy nights at school, and HOORAY FLORIDA!

passed out in pasco.
that makes one every four hours, forty eight minutes!
in the span of less than 24 hours, five people were arrested after being found asleep behind the wheel of their cars. while time of day is of no consequence (sheriff's office spokesperson kevin doll says "people drink and take drugs at all times of day or night"), the circumstances of a few of these are pretty interesting; far better than the stories i'm familiar with- passed out in the steak and shake drive through, or in front of the 7-eleven waiting for taquitos.
so hooray for uniting in unconsciousness, and HOORAY FLORIDA!

- one of the five was found asleep after doing drugs and having drank 'a lot' before getting behind the wheel, needle still in hand;
- one was in the middle of the street (but claimed to not know why when he was roused from his slumber), foot on the brake but still fast asleep;
- a third, an employee of habitat for humanity, was weaving through oncoming traffic.

exposures of exposure?
must have been a sight to withhold...
a battle rages at sickles high school over a picture of one of its juniors, caught in a compromising position (think basic instinct) made its way into the yearbook.
while the school writes off the effect of the photo, claiming that it's a "shadow," the girl's mother is insisting that no more yearbooks be distributed, the ones that have been distributed be returned, and that the books be reprinted with a different photograph in its place. this woman clearly never had to try and produce a yearbook.
and all this work just to keep a pantyline from showing? i'll buy this girl a thong to escape the controversy.
in any case, hooray for puberty's pantyless problems, and HOORAY FLORIDA!

helen bedd, i presume?
really? just sound it out, officers...
a florida-based prostitution arrest was made to a woman by the name of "helen bedd," advertising in the casual encounters section. a price was agreed upon between "bedd" and a disguised officer, before the arrest was made.
when the meetup occurred, it was discovered that Helen was actually a 41-year old man by the name of arthur ramos. ramos is unashamed by his status as a prostitute, informing the arresting officer that "prostitution was the world's oldest profession," and he "did not understand why the officers were making such a big deal of it."
so hooray for preposterous prostitute pseudonyms, and HOORAY FLORIDA!

naked ambition II
i'm always a little put off when people ask me to bum cigarettes, but i don't think i've ever been this weirded out.
early friday morning, a 52 year old woman showed up naked at a clearwater home, asking for a cigarette. police arrested her later on, walking through a motor home. while she had acquired a pair of boxer shorts, the article did not report on if her hunt for a cigarette was successful.
she was charged with disorderly conduct, but then discharged from jail on her own recognizance. may she throw on a top next time when jonesing for some smokes.
hooray for nicotine in the nude, and HOORAY FLORIDA!
