I want to read a novel with my writing teacher as a character. He's just so damn fascinating.
He's an openly gay man, and enormously proud of that fact, but he's been extra flamboyant the last week or so. Today Kim had chocolate-covered fortune cookies. Mark was so excited when she gave him one, and then when he opened it, his fortune said "A loved one will have exciting news" or something like that. Without missing a beat, he sang out "He's going to be PREGNANT!" in his charming South African accent. Last week he left right at the beginning of class because there had been all this confusion about the short stories we were supposed to pick up from his box. When he went to go get what was left, he did this ballet leap and flounced out of the room. It was adorable.
