Okay, this is dorky.
I responded to a post on a forum about what character I would choose to be from a film.
Here was my response:
Darth Vader, High School Teacher
in
A Disturbance in the Classroom
Mr. Vader, or as the students affectionately called him Mr. V, watched as a paper airplane drifted across the room. He didn't have to ask who did it, he already knew. There was a disturbance in the force.
Mr. V stood, the top of his helmet bumping an origami swan dangling from the ceiling and setting it into motion. It swung back and forth as Mr. V approached the third row nearest to the door.
He scanned the students, his immense height towering over them. Suzy's pencil snapped as she furiously tried to write. Jacob felt a disturbance in his pants as warm liquid streamed down his leg.
Johnny brushed his long hair over his eyes and sunk into his seat.
"I find your lack of respect disturbing," Mr. V said as he lifted his hand and squeeze the air between his fingers.
Johnny tugged at the neck of his shirt, then gripped his throat. His eyes bulged as he attempted to say spit out his words.
"Apology accepted," Mr. V said as he returned to his desk. He sat back down and a silence filled the room.
Everyone listened as Johnny gasped for breath. Mr. V had let him live. But only because Mr. Vader hated parent conferences.

OOOH I loved it! :-)Somehow I sense this story has a basis in real life.
lol.
too true.
I responded in the same post that I wanted to be Bruce Wayne/Batman -- but another person wouldn't let me have the Batmobile... So now I want to be Zeus, so I can smite all of you with my wrath.
hey, I tried to post a comment over on the Xanga site but I can't see the word verification in Firefox on that site so here's what I would have said if you'd posted about YOUR AWARD here - congratulations. It's a big deal when the students select you, enjoy the accolade.
Thanks!
I liked the xanga site at first, but there are some glitchy things and you can't edit the html on the pages, at least I don't think you can.
It's just not as user friendly. I keep in in reserve as my personal and political blog.
Ray: The batmobile is an expensive piece of equipment. Insurance is through the roof. Of course, now that you're Zeus, what's a little insurance between friends?
