novembre ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- first day in the non-office workforce autistic and mentally disturbed children and teenagers. indie rockers and sexy lithuanians, non-profit politicos and dirty floors. giant vans with cloth interior even though 40% of their passengers have a habit of nonchalantly wetting themselves. i was given two marriage proposals today. we celebrated the chinese new year. gung hay fat choy. courtney, a tiny fifteen year old with an iq of 130 started screaming in italian and climbing the walls, missing a trip to the park where a tiny six year old named houston sat on me as we swung back and forth, gripping my ponytails and shreiking with laughter.everybody loves houston and this little boy is a sign that i took the right job; a couple of months ago i wrote a story that included a amiable houston character. and names like that don't just pop out of the sky. a couple of years ago, during a bad spell, courtney scratched her eyes to smithereens. she is legally blind but continues to barrel down the school hallways cracking jokes about false philosophers (spoono and forko, followers of plato) and wearing red because it is the chinese new year 6:28 pm - 02.12.02 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
