Draco Malfoy is your perfect guy!

You like guys like him,

arrogant and acid-jokers.

a real Slytherin!

You don't care if he's rich as

(daddy son), long as he won't change.

Evidently the spelling errors are deliberate. The quiz does allow you to skip questions.

This would be the correct answer for

cassieclaire's Draco Malfoy, but I doubt that the standard HP canon Malfoy (who's a nasty little snot, even if you do know him personally and are friends with him) would work with me at all. When I was in my teens, a guy who acted like Malfoy to me, and persisted in it (fortunately, IRL, none did) would have been on the receiving end of a nice hearty slap.

I did smack a guy over the head with a library book (paperback) for asking me on a date once... it was when I knew that anybody hitting on me was only hitting on me to make fun of me. In retrospect, he was a nice guy, and he was just flirting... if I'd dated him, I would have been hanging out with the 'in' crowd.

I've seen my career, lifepaths branching. I have yet to quite find the centerpoint upon which the paths are all leading back to.

...I've seen this. It glows in my mind, bright purple. Shawn is somewhere around the center of the decision tree, the point where it all started changing back. First Shawn. Then DeVry. Then computers. ...no. First Shawn. Then ...

It's crossing on me. It's not neat and tidy. But where I strayed from my original Intent, there I'm coming back. Coming home. I formulated my statement of intent tightly after all. How young was I? How did I program myself? I'm a programmer, a writer, an artist, a teacher. I want students, not children.

Students and children are different?

It is impossible to see the paths forward. You can only see the one you're on. The rest are chimerical. Forking happens a dozen times a minute, as you keep breathing, as you look up with joy, as you hit the refresh button, as you walk across streets. To trace them leaves little time for living.

Students and children are very different.

Teachers and parents both raise kids, but in different ways.

Teaching is more precise, to some extent it comes with the famous instruction book parenthood lacks. You get to concentrate, to foster an enthusiasm and watch it grow. A parent can rarely see the wider picture because of the sheer volume of demand placed on them. A teacher has the luxury of being slightly detached they have a chance to enjoy the fruits of their labours.

I want students rather than children, too.

And it's more focused, in a specific area or five, rather than so broad-spectrum. Yes, we work with our children and teach them certain things, specifically, but we've got so much to teach them and do...

Teachers are devoted to seeing that this specific thing get learned....

"my children" is a member of the set "my students". Not all members of the set "my students" are members of the set "my children".

Every now and then, in the middle of something else, pathtrace hits me. If, in that moment, I can make an insight about where I'm headed based on places I've been, or places I didn't go last time around, and that will save me grief later on, I make a note of it.

This time, pathtrace hit me in the middle of an entry.
