There are some things I could rant about, but it's pointless. With regard to the school, I am a very small voice, and as I have noted on here before, people at my son's school do their best to ignore me. I don't fit the mold. But this whole military culture is pretty weird and much of the time I find it so stifling. There are these dutiful but lonely housewives with their stupid woman's vanity, their husband soldiers off at war, big stones of men with easy smiles and big torsos, men whose broad masculine bellies will make that wide decline into middleage, their kids running around occasionally shouting obscenities at me from the buses, these kids who get served the smiling status quo every day by teachers who are mostly local people, born and raised in Hawaii. The neighborhoods are worse, filled with gossipy, nosy people, more like Tim Burton's cartoon vision of the suburbs. I don't know, definitely sick of it.
