every day's a new dumb adventure

be gone with thee you f'ing landlubber

i recently started volunteering at 826 valencia as an "editor" for the bayfarer (their newspaper). I put editor in quotes because all adult volunteers are "editors" and all the kids in the workshop are "reporters" - i'm not really editing as much as i am lending a hand and nudging kids in the right direction. this was my first issue and i think it's going to end up being a lot of fun. however, despite all the fun, there is one thing that is going to be difficult: my mouth.

in case you didn't know, and if we're pals you probably do, i have a pretty awful sailor mouth. i am particularly fond of the f-word, but have been known to shit all over everything too. i don't like seeing it in the written word (with writing, you have the ability to edit yourself), but in speech things just slip out. so now, every wednesday from 6-8, i need to make sure i keep my cool and don't go all sailor on them. (oh and yes, randall actually does say "okay sailor" to me on a regular basis).

shit, this is going to be hard.

aw man, I always wanted to volunteer there, and they always told me they didn't need volunteers. if they ever need volunteers again, will you let me know? I'd love to help!

what you need are fun substitutions, like, "what the ship" or "jiminy flipping cricket" or "rockducking brotherhugger."
