Anonymous Teacher Person (aka Roadie): Amateur Catholic

Hello! I cannot tell you my name, for fear that hordes of my intrepid student investigators will storm this site in a flurry of Googling.

I see that someone else has already laid claim to the role of Waterboy. My niche having been filled, I would like to volunteer as Roadie to all the other Amateur Catholics.

My blog, Scrutinies, is a chance for me to keep a record of my foibles as a high school religion teacher, unburdened by technicalities like a theology degree. All names are changed to protect the invincibly ignorant. I also started off my blog with a sonnet to the laminating machine in the library, which curiously did not win me a coveted nomination for "most bizarre post" or whatever the category is. You can expect to see me anytime I have mountains of papers to grade and want to procrastinate…just like now.

Technically, I am paid to speak to impressionable youths each day, but since only 22% of them are listening to me at any given moment, I do not think this makes me a Professional Catholic. I also get a bunch of the minor prophets confused. Further documentation of my amateurism can be provided.

See you round the blogosphere!

I, personally, am most impressed by anyone who writes a sonnet to the laminating machine (especially one in the library, which is elegant in its specificity). Welcome aboard, Anonymous.
