I think that I owe myself money. ;) :D

lol. Thats understandable. Does he have a name??? Please don't say Fred... :D

I love teaching Poe because his stories/poems insert some life into an otherwise "by the book" class. It's also a way for me to suck my innocent students into my sick and demented world.:D

Nice. I wish I had more teachers like you. :(

Creativity and addictions are not all that far removed.
There are many examples of this throughout the ages.
Poe is another example on an all too often tragic list.

I'm going to have to go with Annabelle Lee, The Masque of the Red Death, and The Raven. (suddenly I heard a tapping as of someone gently rapping, rapping at my chamber door...you heard me rapping right?)

Get this, when I was in high school we had to write an essay in World Geography about who our hero was from history. Our teacher proceeded to tell us the story of a former student who had written about Edgar Allen Poe. Well, this teacher made his student change his hero because he felt that was a horrible hero, with the opium addiction and what not. At the end of the story he told us that the guy was killed a few years later. Now WHAT does that have to do with having Poe as his hero I ask you?!? Absolutely nothing!!!!!! BUT, according to this teacher, his hero was the reason that all of this happened. What a crock of shit. I gave that teacher hell for the entire year after that.

Are you serious??? Thats so mess up. I hate peolpe like that. Its kind of funny how I got teachers like that all the time at public school, but as soon as I went to christian boarding school, all my teachers became open minded and sane. lol. :D
