Childhood book thread so I'll ask here. I read a book about some school kids who had the best tacher ever who then got sick/disappeared and then some bitchy as fuck teacher took her place. They then tried to find the original teacher only it turns out that she was actually the bitchy teacher all along. I remember the big reveal happened at the teacher's house.

It might have been called "What Happened to Miss____" Forgot her name and google has returned no results.

My bad, it's German. Here's the wiki: 19 / F / physics/astronomy junior

TURN ONS:
>Being slightly derpy and awkward
I love people that know how to have fun in a derpy way, such as giggling like an idiot while watching awful movies or other such things. I'm rather uptight, ordinarily, and it takes someone like this to make me take myself less seriously.

>Intelligence
Not pretentious individuals, but I like people that I can talk to that can actually understand what I say, be it programming, flag manifolds, astrophysics, or whatnot. It's not a must that this potential partner have knowledge of topics relating specifically to my areas of expertise, but someone possessing above average intelligence is preferred, even if they never show it.

>Within the range of ottermode to chubby
I'm quite thin myself, so it'd be horribly uncomfortable to be with someone else of similar ilk. Slightly chubby is fine, but no landwhales.

TURN OFFS:
>Smoking pot
I detest pot -- I think it's horribly boring and promotes nothing save for intellectual stagnation and warping of my already exceptional perception and mental clarity.

>Foot fetishes
There's nothing more awkward to me then the notion of nervously poking around at a man's feet while he masturbates voraciously, all while I have no idea why.

(If you are acquainted with Homestuck, I'm essentially seeking the John to my Rose. Please don't kill me.)

You’ve hiked through Snake Canyon once before while visiting your Uncle Howard at Red Creek Ranch, but you never noticed any cave entrance.
