Tart Cart
During homeroom today, in Miss Kibbe's, the funniest thing I've heard this year was uttered. Joulette Runner was sitting by a window that she had opened for her older sister who is allergic to heat and the room was nearing the temperature of an oven. Sitting in front of Joulette was a girl whom I've never talked to because the way her face is layed out, she can be easily mistaken as a bitch. Infront of her was Megan Rhinehardt who is kind of bad but innocently funny and blank. Joulette had her head out the window looking out to see the kids flocking in from the cold and rain when she said, "Oh, look, the retard bus just got here." Megan almost exclaimed, "Don't call it that! That's mean!" The "bitch" then said, "I call it the Tart Cart." very blankly that it was so hilarious. I laughed hard and cried because of it. I'm not sure why it was so funny...maybe it was because I never expected something like that to come of her mouth, but it did, and it made my day. The weather is very schlecht. Speaking of "schlecht", the Germans don't talk about the weather as popularly as a conversation article and subject as the Americans, which is an interesting fact. It is only this year that I've noticed exactly how much of my mood is affected just by if it's overcast during the day or not. And when I say during the day, I MEAN during the day...not the night. I don't care what the weather does at night. Let me explain...it is depressing when the sky is overcast with flat white clouds (stratus) where there is no depth to the sky. If the clouds are grey/gray or black, it is not depressing, rather exciting. And if they are in weird maniacal formations then they are even more exhilerating. If the sun is shining through some patches of storm clouds, it makes me happy to see both together in total harmony, which the human race only gets to experience in nature since we are such a horrible species. We are, by definition, a virus...we go where there are resources, we populate the area densly, use up the resourses, and don't replace them efficiently and time-affectively. We eat away at the world, a pure bacterium. Although we are not prokaryotes, while bateria are, which I have learned in Biology/Biologie. The best days are those when it is very windy but the sun is mosly out with puffy cumulus clouds or even stormy cumulonimbus, which are the f'n best. Thunder and lightning (Donner und Blitzen) are the best forms of "destructive weather." Und jetzt weiss ich nicht wo meine Pupsi ist...hoffe sie wird im Internet bald sein. Ich vermisse sie..."...I want to heal, I want to feel like I'm close to something real. I want to
find something I've wanted all along: Somewhere I belong..."
