INCENTIVE
7:15 pm:
I'm taking Nerve apart. I'm moving. I will live in Capitol Hill now. One thing I did notice while inspecting my new house and neighborhood is: it's Gay Pride week, and so there are banners hanging from every lamppost on Broadway Ave. that look like a pink triangle with rainbow streamers hanging off of it. Many people (who are acting very stereotypically 'gay') are hanging around that Ave. that normally don't live in Washington. You'd never see Waikiki having a sexual-orientation related festival with banners and things. I guess I've never lived in a canonically "Cool" place. Cap. hill is cool in so many ways, and real obnoxious in a lot of others. It'll be interesting!
Anyway, I've gotta get going cleaning up this room and packing up my computer. I will certainly enjoy having my own room. My own atmosphere. A place to put things where they will definately, definately not be fondled or even gazed upon without clearance from me. Oh yeah, I like my space.
It's Gayness week, but it's also something else week, which I'm not really understanding. Imagine, do, that you are feeling down in the dumps. You break into little sobs and things at innoportune moments, and you're not sure of who you are, or if anyone really understands you. THEN, some person you only know through email decides to declare it YOU-WEEK! They make a big fucking deal about it, distribute banners, get lots of people to participate...they go whole hog. Two hogs, even. Would you feel better? If you were me, you'd unplug the phone and hide in the closet until everyone got the heck over themselves. Thank you.
