It is definitely an improvement. Might get it for next time through.

Gilsa, your Shep is as beautiful as your dwarves. What is this madness?!

I actually changed my userpic in honor of the DLC announcement. Also, inciting a dwarf and/or chasind love interest fest on the DA2 boards made my day.

Edit:  soignee keeps telling me to write more of my Brosca AU.  I am lazy.  Pfft.

I would, but I have to drive around in the Mako on some uncharted worlds.  Really.

Actually, I will write more today

Fine. I swear I'll almost get up the point where I have Jarvia involved. I don't want to write sad things about Jarvia, I love her so~

My high school guidance counselor changed my life. She actually looked at my test results. I was In standard level classes my junior year and getting 'C's. My senior year Mrs McCrady placed me in AP classes. I had a straight A average that year. If it weren't for her, I never would have gone to college.



She was a great lady.

My Guidance Conselors were all crap.



It was my Grade 12 world issues teacher who told me:

"drop math, science, english, or drama and focus on history/religion/politics/and social studies. Your bad in the first side, but in the second one you have real potential"



I owe Mr. Glor a lot.

Hey, thanks. I rarely show my main Shepard on the ME2 forums because I don't need someone to go ew on it or say it looks just like every other femShep out there (which is true to a certain extent -- creator just sucks). I have gone through that damn Normandy scene enough times to want to cut my wrists when I start a character, think she's ready, and then I'm playing and go, "Huh, her eyes are too high. Dammit. I don't want to go through that Normandy scene again, but this is going to BUG me for the rest of the game." Thank god I found some info on how to use the ME2 code for your ME1 character so I was able to reinstall my ME game, use the ME2 code to recreate her exactly so that when I imported her back into ME2, she was the same gal I knew. Phew. For other Sheps beyond my non-canon one, I may just use the ME2 faces site and tweak from there to save time. If there's acknowledgement of Liara romance in the DLC, I'll download a saved game with an active Liara romance and start a new ME2 Shep from there. ME1 causes problems on my computer so I often have to reformat after I'm done with the game and have everything backed up. I don't want to reinstall ME1 just for a Liara romance to import for the DLC. =p

I totally approve. Dwarf romance would totally make my day for DA2. (Human/dwarf does not bother me. My human would be honored that someone so awesome is willing to be with her. Just like Alistair was awed by Aeducan taking an interest in him! =D)

And soignee is right!

[Herr Uhl]

I still hope that you can hit that studly dwarf named Varric.



As to the subjects of teachers giving advice. I remember my shop teacher telling me that I was the worst student he had ever had (and he had worked there for about 30 years) at the age of 14. Then came my math teacher that thought that I was on drugs when I was 15. In high school my science and math teachers were angry at me for doing social studies. Then I went to college to re-read the science part that I was missing and there it became a running joke amongst the professors that I always slept. And now after doing odd jobs (and reading modern history of ideas for a short period) for one and a half years I'm going to study biology.



Good times.

I love how my second Shepard turned out...except when she turns to the side and her huge freaking nose taunts me. As has probably become pretty obvious, I have nose issues.

OVERSHARING IN THE MOFO INTERNETS IN WHICH SOIGNEE BORES YOU ALL

High School (12-15)

I was a nerd, but a social one. I was fairly geeky in the sense I always handed in my work on time and wasn't exactly bunking off classes to have a shifty cigarette and a fumble behind the bike sheds. My yearmates voted me to be a year representative, no idea why. At Prom I was voted "Next Phoebe From Friends."

I had a brilliant English teacher who smacked the ADD approach to writing out of me and encouraged my creative writing. He scraped me from a C average to As, pretty much. I loathed my Art teacher as she was useless, but I got an A out of my own sheer bloodymindedness. My drama teacher was awesome too, and young. She took us to trips to London and it was GOOD TIEMS.

A-Level College (16-19)

I lovedddd it here. You were out of school, out of a uniform and oh god the hormone clash. I studied Art, Performing Arts and English. I was rubbish at Performing Arts (apart from dancing, oddly) but I did it for the LULZ. Made lifelong friends here, still talk to them.

The lecturers (not teachers, and we -gasp- called them by their first name) were brilliant too. One took me under her wing and helped me get into a prestigious, wanky art school; without her I wouldn't have gotten in, really.

Art School (19-24)

I studied fashion here and LOVED it. Our egos and our talents were cultured in the sense we were pushed to strive to be unique and find our own style and voice. However, the Real World™ and the industry basics of how to survive and not get eaten in business we weren't taught, and oh god did we all get a culture shock as we left.

The amount of crazy lecturers I had is numerous. My favourite will always be Bryan, who looked like Willie Wonker in all the film incarnations. He used to turn up in pink boots and a velvet suit, just because.


...Yeah, I really lucked out on teachers.

[Giggles_Manically]

I got told to be quiet when I corrected my teachers on things I knew about history.



They were even more angry when I was right and they were wrong.

[Herr Uhl]

As to my personality school-wise through the years (what boredom does to people):



-11 Enthusiastic nerdy kid that loved school.



12-15 Reclusive cynic that was very bored in class. Slept some of the time.



16-18 Not as much of a reclusive cynic, but even more bored in class. Slept more of the time



18,5-19,5 More interested during class, and not reclusive at all. Fell asleep during the first half of most of the morning lectures.



Useless factoid, I've never called any teacher or lecturer by their last name.

[Sarah1281]

I've never been so bored in class as in senior year when I took a semester of regular English (philosophy SOUNDED like fun...) at the same time as AP English. Every day someone asked the teacher what basic words like 'apathy' meant, she told us we were watching the Matrix then writing an in-class essay that she strongly hinted would be about which pill you'd take and I was the only one who didn't waste half the period ****ing about this fact (and I was still the last one done), I was the only one to read the books, the teacher spent a week going over a powerpoint on existentialism and yet every time she used the word someone asked what it meant, I stopped paying attention in class to preserve my sanity - and read fanfics instead - and could still answer the questions she asked me when no one else raised their hand, and I got a 99.7%. Of course, I knew I was in trouble when she explained to us what semicolons were and made us start using them when Freshman Honors English had done the same thing and I ALREADY regularly use them. How I survived that class is really a great mystery...

[Giggles_Manically]

Intro to Canadian history was the same to me.



I got in trouble for calling Louis Riel a bad, bad man. I could have taught that class, sadly about me and 5 other people out of like 30 were the only ones to pass.

School? I slipped through the cracks with severe bipolar symptoms and ADD. Dropped out after 3 months of truancy in senior year. Never made a better decision in my life, and was later informed that the school nurses always thought I was "not okay" which was an astute goddamn observation, but someone should have been told about it. GG school staff. I go to community college now, and am studying game design and plan to do more studio art, writing, and eventually programming when I am up to the task of taking math again (which I like but have trouble focusing on). I actually love school, I was just at a very academically competitive/funded public high school with a lot of pressure placed on anyone who didn't want to attend a four year university immediately after graduation. Meanwhile, on the other side of the tracks in Los Angeles County...

quick unrelated post addendum:  SHEPARD AND DWARVES?  OH BOY.  My shepards always look the /same/ and I am so tired of it!  I have been meaning to try out some of the less used facial structures (I think most people go for 7, if I'm not mistaken.)  But here, for your something or other, is Missa Shepard:

and of course, my favorite male Aeducan.  I swear his name isn't based on Saren.  I swearrrrrrr.

OMG, I know what you mean. I had this English teacher who was teaching us about Greek mythology. Only it seemed like he had rented a beginners book on Mythology and made up more advanced stuff to teach us. I corrected him when he was wrong and pissed off the rest of the students in my class because of it.

I have anxiety issues, so going to school was hard for me, since I was easily stressed out. I tried home-schooling and it didn't work out because my father wouldn't buy the material. Went back to school, had panic attacks and left to go to night school. I got my high school diploma about half a year before my other school's students did and I'm taking a year off before going to college. Mostly because I'm poor and my parents never thought about saving money for my college.

[Sarah1281]

The kids in my classes used to love it when they could show the teacher up, especially in history. I think it annoyed the teachers but they never said anything. It really wasn't anything they shouldn't have expected, though, given the kinds of people I normally had classes with.

The kids in my school were the overachieving type who planned on going to some ritzy college, partying and then settling down in the hick town we grew up in. Or they joined the Marines because they didn't know what they wanted to do with their life. So teachers were really pissed off that people never said anything and I was considered one of their favorites because I would actually listen and answer questions.

Not to mention they were mostly "stupid girls" who would answer questions like, "Like, ummm, I think the answer is 24?" when you damn well knew that they knew it was 24. But girls couldn't be too smart without offending the men-folk and getting shunned. Such are the way of Georgians -sigh- (and why I'm leaving the country after getting my degree).

Really? That's weird...

Edit: And I'm not sure it's fair to judge the whole country based on your experience in Georgia. The southern states are different from other regions.
