...personal*
personalityAnnie is one of those people who just gets along with everyone she meets. She can fit in with any crowd, the smart upper class, the fun-loving girls, even a few bitches. Relationships and coming into new groups just comes easily for her. Of course, there ARE the few that she manages to hate with a passion. These include up-tight, chauvinistic men and druggies who go to her school. Both of them make her just want to up and burn something, and NOT in a good way.
Annie has a fervid hunger for new information concerning sciences of all kinds. She loves her environmental studies, her chemistry, biology, physics, it's all GREAT. SHe'll regularly be seen looking up new articles of scientific importance just for the hell of it and spouting out factoids (rather loudly) in the middle of the library. It's a bad habit she finds very hard to break. However, due to this she finds it very hard to go over everything numerous times so her students can understand. She moves at a fast pace in her class and anyone who isn't keeping up is left in the dust.
Annie is also pretty damn vain and proud of herself. She just loves mirrors and knows she can do no wrong. Maybe it's some kind of god complex with working with kids all day long and getting used to superiority, or something engrained from a childhood memory, but either way she knows she's practically perfect in each and every way and that you never will be. It's best to just get over it quickly and move on with your life.
pastAnnie was born the child of Aslan Mukemmel and Julie Tisbury. They were two parents who brought together the brightest and best of their field in the culmination that was Annie. Julie, a free-spirited, feminist artist from the East coast taught Annie the beauty of Music and painting and art in general throguhout all her childhood. She amde sure that Annie knew how to read sheet music from a very young age, and she could NEVER use a crayon, it was chalk sticks or pastels from day one. It was her free spirit and refusal to take on her husbands last name that led to the awkward linked names Annie ended up with.
Aslan, on the other hand, wanted to make sure she knew each and every one of her facts. instead of nursery rhymes and other foolish texts she was read the periodic table of elements and the works of Charles Darwin on the Origin of Species and the works of madame Curie. Aslan was of Turkish decent, and made certain that Annie was fluent in his native language. Between the two of her parents, Annie was raised as a bubbling fountain of knowledge and talent.
However, once she hit high school she bloomed from an awkward, geeky walking encylcopedia into a godly social butterfly. In her small town, there wasn't much competition to make herself the queen bee in terms of popularity. Unlike in the cliched schools of 1970's movies, Annie's school was wrapped around the finger of the smartest, most talented student. It was a dream come true for Annie, to finally put her knowledge to use.
For college, she studied chemistry, just like her father wanted. She made sure to keep up with her studies in music as well, wanting to be the perfect, well-rounded student so she would be accepted wherever she went in her adult life.
It wasn't hard to realize exactly why she went to New York City after college. The center of the arts as well as scientific advances, it was the place to be for an up-and-coming girl such as herself. In order to support herself, she took a job at a local school and, well, 5 years later she just hasn't had the heart to quit. While she may not like going over the saaame information each and every year, she also loves working with kis and teaching them the tricks of the trade. It warms her heart to see some that really get it and can move on quickly.
present
Annie is currently the head of the science department at Baum academy. It's really not surprising that she was chosen for the job. None of the other teachers have the same voracious appetite for knowledge like her, or her need to be on time for everything. They're content to just push dates back and back and not even worry about the proper time needed for good grading tendencies. It was disgraceful, really, that she had to show them exactly how one was supposed to go about daily life.
She also has taken up the position as chorus director. She loves to sing and one of her favorite things to do when in a boring class and there aren't any burnable materials to be found is to try out some new song or melody.

~Fire ( Kiiind of a pyromaniac)
~Bags, bags bags! She loves them!!!
~British Accents (More like LOVES)
~Chemistry ( She is avidly obsessed with it, and is always trying to learn new science facts. As such, she easily bores when her students don't grasp at terms and concepts immediately)
~Mirrors (SOMEONE's a teensy bit vain)
~SINGING AND CHORUS ( She IS the chorus instructor after all...what, you didn't think I'd let Mary Poppins get away without being connected to music, did you?)
dislikes
~Going over information she already knows
~Saying...things...slowly...so students... can write...everything...down. ( Same thing goes for having to take songs slower so people can hear the chords)
~Silent Study Halls and test periods. They creep her out.
~Untidiness. God, it PISSES HER OFF.
~Stupid questions, and YES, GODDAMNIT, THEY DEFINITELY EXIST.
other notes Even though it SEEMS like I've made Annie a tad bit ADD, but really she just gets bored in her class when her students are operating at such a lower level than she is. As such, she randomly will come up with something to distract herself while her students are struggling through a topic. Fortuanately enough for her, the science department seems to have lots and lots of flammable liquids laying around, and those desks were made to be fireproof, so wasn't she really doing them all a favor to investigate the crafstmanship of school property?

Mary Poppins TEXT HERE
backstoryMary Poppins in P.L. Travers' books is strict and no-nonsense, asserting her unusual brand of discipline over the four (later five) Banks children in her charge. Mary is very vain and is always admiring herself in the mirror and other reflections. She constantly scolds the children for their "bad" behaviour, especially when they point out the magical things she does, for she constantly denies she is anything but a prim and proper lady. Mary only shows her gentler side around her friends, among them the Matchman (Bert), Mrs. Corry and Nellie-Rubina.

how you found ouacI helped birth it
rp sample DEXTER:
It wasn't really a date, right? It was just two friends going out for dinner to discuss the fact that their other two friends had seemingly vanished into a void of absence. And it really HAD been strange, both Delilah and Theo up and moving out of the city without another word. Dominique and Dexter had gone from being part of the big four friends in the high school staff to two almost autonomous people. They'd never been TOTALLY best friends. Dexter was always a bit closer to Delilah and Cominique had paid a bit better attention to Theo it had seemed at times. Right now they NEEDED this dinner to cement their relationship and make sure they didn't break off and both become totally friendless.
So they had made plans. it didn't take long, they had just decided that the scene of their friendship's therapy would take place in that nice little Greek restaurant downtown. It was perfect because neither of them would have to fork up much money and please, there was NOTHING romantic about Greek food. Italian, maybe, but Greek? Not a chance in hell.
Sitting himself down into a booth, Dexter tried to make himself comfortable. Ah, yeah. This was what he needed after a long, hard Friday's wroth of teaching imbecile's and grading their papers. Sometimes he was just so amazed that ANYTHING that walked the earth could be so STUPID as to write down for answers some of the things they came up with. THAT VERY DAY, for instance, in place of an answer, one boy had drawn a GIRAFFE and scrawled "idk the answer 2 this. Plz acsept this girafe insted." The fact that the test wasn't even about AFRICAN history or the history of the zoo franchise was quite possibly what led him to failing the test on the spot. Perhaps if they had drawn something at least vaguely related to the time period, say, a scale drawing of the parthenon, he wouldn't have called home to the parents and informed them what a nuisance their child was in class.
He glanced warily at his glass of waterm wondering if it was appropriate to order an alcoholic beverage before his dining mate arrived.
