I teach 8th grade math. I have two troublemakers in my class. I live in Illinois. I volunteer at a non-for-profit agency on the weekends with my family.
I prefer language arts to math. I enjoy reading before bed. I volunteer and sell comics at comic con. I role play at comic con with friends. I'm going to ComicCon as Bat Girl this spring.
It turns out a few of my students are going to Comic Con. You'll never guess what they told me they're going dressed as! Well don't keep me waiting! What are they dressing as? I promise I won't steal their idea since I've already figured out my costume. They are going as Batman and Robin. Keep a watch out for them.  How long have you been going to comic con? Oh wow! That's awesome!  I'm totally going to find them and maybe even get some cool group photos.  I've been going for the past five years.  It's a pretty fun time and I get to meet a lot of people with similar interests.  Do you have any fun plans for the weekend? We're going to be volunteering at the shelter this weekend. Making meals mostly. What about you? Any exciting plans? Oh that is such a wonderful thing that you guys do giving your time to those in need with your whole family.  I'm going to clean out my home library and put away stuff that I won't read anymore to donate to the public library or local school.  Nothing too exciting.  How are classes going?  You're almost to the end of the school year. It's a zoo like it always is the closer to the end of school it gets.  What are you reading now? I'll need some good reading material for the summer. I'm in the middle of two books at the moment.  One is non-fiction and called "I'll Be Gone in the Dark" by Michelle McNamara.  It's about the search for the Golden State Serial killer before he was caught.  Since that book is too creepy to fall asleep to, I'm also reading "Beach Read" by Emily Henry which is more on the lighter side.   I'd be more on the lighter side.  Reading about serial killers would keep me up at night. Yes, it definitely has been listening for noises and thinking about what these poor victims might have gone through, but the book was so highly rated in my book reading group that I decided to check it out.  It's not my usual cup of tea and let's see if I'm even able to finish it.   I'm curious.  Where do you get comics to sell at comic con?  You hooked in with a dealer? I go through many different sources.  some of my sources I've found through my local comic book retailers that I frequent and others I've found online through various online sites.  Are you interested in purchasing comic books?
