This isn't a job interview, and I am allowed to have a few weeks to recuperate, to be angry, and to grieve like people are allowed after their loved ones die. I don't have to immediately be cheery and upbeat and in denial about what just happened to me.

You have every right to vent. You were just fired. Have you heard of this teacher website:
atozteacherstuff.com
It may be a good place to get advice from other teachers, on how to explain your termination to prospective school principals, when you are ready to apply to teaching jobs again.
Also, if you need to make money, you can always do a long-term substitute teaching job or even short-term substitute teaching. My advice would be to take on long-term substitute teaching positions, as that will show that school principal you are a capable teacher, and you will have a far better chance of being rehired as a teacher again, if you are already in a long-term substitute teaching position. That's how most of the licensed teachers I know, got their teaching jobs. It's the easiest way to get hired into a teaching position.
The benefit of being a long-call substitute teacher, is you get a chance to learn about the school culture, the students, the other teaching staff and the school district with no pressure. It's a great way for you to figure out if the school fits your needs too.
Meanwhile, process the emotions you need to. Being fired is a traumatic experience because it's not just a loss of income, but a loss of identity sometimes. Hang in there.
