alinna, aka ms. chiu, sure has a lot of nosy little students. They sneak onto her computer, see who she im's, and since we have the same last name think MY sn is alinna's since alinna's screen name doesn't consist of any part of her name. since then, my screen name has apparently been floating around school as "rumors" that it's "ms. chiu's" screen name. so now i have random students im'ing me. some highlights of one my conversations with her student. keep in mind that until i found out he was one of alinna's students, i thought he was a creepy freak:

student: is this ms chiu?
me: who is this
student: [student's name]
me: sorry don't think i know you
me: how'd you get my screen name?
student: [another student's name]
me: who is that
student: lol
student: who is this though
student: is this karen chiu?
me: im sorry i don't think i know you
student: do u know a leana chiu?
me: no

**apparently alinna's students don't know her first name!** continue onwards...

student: i just read your profile and i think you might be lying
me: i'm not lying

**look at that. her students are accusing me of lying!**

student: do u know alinna chiu?
me: yes
student: is she a teacher?
me: yes
student: ooooooooo'
student: thats my teacher
me: oh okay
me: so why does everyone have my screen name?
student: i dunno
student: rumors
student: can i plz have her screen name?
me: no
me: you need to ask her
student: ok
student: gimme her screen name so i can ask her
me: you think i'm that dumb?
me: hahahaha
student: it was worth a try
me: well, nice try
me: :-)
