2 - Truancy

Part One - Part Two What worried me first was *not* that I might die up there. That after many years some hapless student, sent to fetch extra halos, might look behind the giant paper mache cat and gasp in horror at my desiccated corpse still clothed in the brown plaid skirt and too-large white button down shirt (polo shirts were allowed after spring recess, but that was not for weeks) They would shake their head sadly at my scuffed up black and white saddle shoes and wonder who I was. It would be a tremendous mystery. No, what worried me first was the more immediate future. I would need to yell, or bang, or maybe get the great gong from the music storage and make a racket so that someone would open the door. How could I get out without being seen? I decided to deal with this issue ... when I was ready to leave. It was silly to have gone to all this risk and not at least look around. I walked with carful soft footsteps up the dark attic stairs.

The attic of that school was massive. The school was a C-shaped building with a courtyard: the attic was a single vast room that covered all the rooms below. The rafters were wooden, and there was a little light from the small half-moon windows at the ends and from the window seats spaced along the length. From the outside these windows in the attic were like hooded dark eyes. As if the school were a great, but probably friendly I supposed, spider. (I liked spiders.) And that was when I realized that the attic wasn't just a storage space, it must have been what people kept calling "the old library" This little private school had a proper library, of course, a brand new one. With computers and CD roms, and brightly colored bookshelves. When you were a new student, as I had been last year they took you on a little tour and made a big deal about the new library: a glass addition on the first floor that connected the lower school building to the upper school so we could walk to science class without getting rained on. That they didn't show "the old library" just proved whoever planned those tours didn't know what they were doing. It was so obvious that the attic had once been a library that I wondered why I hadn't noticed it before. Every wall was lined with shelves. Some even still held books. (but mostly old ones in poor repair) many of the shelves were blocked by stacks of boxes, or extra desks and extra chairs and even a whole stack of extra cafeteria tables with their attached circular seats they seemed like a heap of giant millipedes. I could even see where the circulation desk had been, and the Librarian's Office. As I was taking all this in, I could hear the sound of recess ending. The noise-- once pleasantly distant was filling the building. Everything sounded a bit different from the attic. Some sounds were impossible to hear-- but the big doors on the cafeteria we used at recess seemed louder up there than when I was right beside them. They boomed shut. The flurry of noise died down to the quiet of afternoon classes. I waited. Expecting the detectives and police and Mrs. Nevens and probably even my mom to come bursting in looking for me. They would all be angry. Unable to understand or even listen to why I had to come here. (But I had to get away from the recess. From and the awful and too bright noise, from all the sing-song and taunting voices.) I would try to explain, and they wouldn't understand. It would be A Very Serious Matter. And there would be Consequences. I waited to be arrested, or put in detention, or worse. But, nothing happened. Old buildings are funny. They have a funny way of carrying sounds. Three floors up the voices of my peers were mostly a senseless jumble... and now that class had begun it was silent-- yet now and then I could hear a bit of conversation crisp and crystal clear. The soft rustle of pages turned, and sums calculated. Afternoon classes went on without me. I wondered if it were just as easy for them to hear me. No matter. I would simply make no sounds.

Part One - Part Two (to be continued.) I think I could expand this into a bit of fiction. I just wanted to capture the feeling of what it was like to be so sad as a kid you end up locked inside of an abandon library.

Watching CUTTING CLASS (1989)

Lifeless 80s horror you watch for the kitsch of seeing Brad Pitt in one of his first roles. I'm sure he's real proud of being in this movie.

Barely any violence as you have to wait until almost the midpoint until anyone gets murdered and then you realize the only thing getting murdered is your time.

Brad Pitt has worked with directors Guy Ritchie, Barry Levinson, Steven Soderbergh, and Martin Scorsese. Neither of those names hold a candle to the fun your mouth will have saying Cutting Class director Rospo Pallenberg.

It's the only fun you'll have associated with this movie.

Media Update 9/5/24

Cutting Class (1989) While I was browning, I could not resist the name of this movie. A jock and an awkward boy just released from juvie compete for the affection of a young and idealistic young woman but people start to die. Jill Schoelen plays the good-hearted and somewhat nerdy main character who wants the best for herself and her boyfriend. Brad Pitt (!) plays her boyfriend, a hothead jock…

having good & true friends will literally save and protect you in a million unfathomable ways. like okay we have written so many times about lovers. but the way a platonic friend laughs and cries with you. the way they hold your hand at 14 years old and at 34. the way they keep a little silver tie to you, touching base over and over and over. how you can go years without talking, only to re-meet and discover: oh shit! you're still cool!

there are people who have been in my life for more than half of it, and i have loved every version of them. do you know how fucking beautiful that is. yeah love will save the world. but the way friends love you is gonna save the you.

listen I expected literally Nothing from the D&D movie okay, like I can't make it clear enough that I expected the most soulless money grab with a good cgi budget imaginable, I went in having already gone through every stage of grief and landed on acceptance and LISTEN

I fucking CRIED during this dumb RPG movie. it wasn't just "not terrible" it was objectively good with a clever plot and compelling characters and sincere emotional beats. this movie loves D&D so fucking much and it NAILS the "a bunch of goobers try to be cool and accidentally discover The Power Of Friendship And Also Great Violence" classic D&D party vibe. their barbarian's last name is fucking Kilgore and my entire family cried in the theater.

I hope they make twelve of these motherfuckers.
