Winter Funk

I told KG that I was feeling funky.. and not the kind of in-the-corner-by-the-pool-table-dancing-to-funk-music-in-Carey's kind of funky.. more like the something-bad-is-going-to-happen-or-is-happening-but-i-can't-decide kind of funky. She told me it was normal. And Santa's a freak.

K:

what's that funky mood about?

me: i do not know.. just funky

i think I have SAD or something..

11:32 PM K:
if you don't hate yourself in winter, you're not normal

11:33 PM me: ok thats good news

K: winter sucks

it's too cold.

and we can barely walk

or see out our windows

11:34 PM and narnia doesn't suck because it's warm...you know?

me: but Santa seems pretty happy

whats his secret, i wonder

K: okay...it's like this...

11:35 PM when i was a little girl, my mom was really homesick...

and sometimes she'd cry in the kitchen

but whenever i came in, she'd ask me if i wanted hot chocolate or something

because it was her job to seem okay around me...or at least she felt.

11:36 PM same with santa

oh...and santa is actually not real.

i can't believe that is not the first thing that popped into my mind

KG never fails at helping me feel better.. about bratty students or research methods or feeling funky.
