DAY 73

The end of what could be in the very least described as a tumultuous year. A couple things I probably haven't mentioned in the last couple months--have been going to school, went to visit the relatives in Pennsylvania. They day before that a tire blew up in my face, ended up in the WHC ER. At least one of the doctors was hot. 
Also, there was the robbery and Perpetua's death, yet with all this I have come out feeling loved, cherished even. And fallen in love. I had thought of myself as a pretty non-sexual being, a eunuch, even. So, 2013, bring it!

HAIL TO THE REDSKINS!

Enough said.

DAY 72

DAY 71

SENSE AND SENSIBILITY

Or as they called it on Saturday Night Live, "Dense and Densibility." At one point Kate Winslet gets horribly upset over Greg Wise, goes for a walk in the rain and ends up with an "infectious fever." I can't tell you how many times I've gone out and got soaked and nothing happens to me. Still, at the end Emma Thompson ends up with Hugh Grant...

Festivus is over, but I still have grievances to air: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7KIMRsTu12g

I DIDN'T MEAN TO CALL YOU THAT

Ok, yeah, you were drunk, but you DID call me that and it wasn't nice: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P6G46Mw3PqM

DAY 69

Why am I so tired after about four hours in two hospitals/clinics?

LES MISÉRABLES

Did the Jewish thing, saw Les Misérables Christmas Day. Jean Valjean stole a loaf of bread and it ends up as a two-hour and 37-minute feature film. Great visuals, the vocals not all the best. It seems I am almost always Éponine: http://insidemovies.ew.com/2012/12/14/les-miserables-eponine-and-marius

Marius was a twit, but the Entertainment Weekly person put it well when she said "frankly, having a crush that doesn’t like you back is the very least of anyone’s problems in 19th century France."

DAY 68

Boy, Jesus, you really know how to stick it to people the day after your birthday. But it was your birthday, not ours.

And you assholes who robbed us, you NEVER thought you would take something you couldn't give back and it wasn't money, drivers licenses, debit cards or flash drives. And you managed to hurt all three of us, maybe more, in ways of which you never dreamed. I hope you're happy.

DAY 67

Merry Christmas!

CHRISTMAS EVE IN ADMO

Christmas Eve in Adams Morgan is kind of like the opening of La Boheme. Or maybe Rent: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E5yK-3iUGQE

DAY 65

Today is the fourth Sunday of Advent.

WEEK

Gas prices around $3.30/gallon in NW DC. Week ended with bitterly cold weather, almost too cold to go out last night, so I went with a guy to the Diner after last call.

BRIGHTER THAN THE SUN

"Swear you hit me like a vision
I, I, I wasn't expectin'
But who am I to tell fate where it's supposed to go?

Lightning strikes the heart
It goes off like a gun
Brighter than the sun"

DAY 64

Nothing seems to make a woman more attractive to men than being pissed off at another man and wanting to stick it to him. Go figure.

DAY 63

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z0GFRcFm-aY

The world did not come to an end as the Mayans predicted. Good thing I didn't do what I WANTED, which would have meant my behaving like a total asshole.

DAY 62

Went to confession, managed to not giggle.

DAY 61

Let's do it, just even for a night:

This is the rap version--the "real" version isn't allowed on  US Youtube for copyright reasons, but oh, the sentiment is there, although I don't think I could say "just even for a night."

janedoe@seductive.com

DAY 60

Total clusterfuck. I feel as though I've fallen through a rabbit hole or a worm hole or some kind of hole. Sometimes you just need to cuddle a pig.

DAY 58

Today is the third Sunday of Advent.

WEEK

Dow down, gas was $3.31/gallon at the Sunoco Station at the corner of 14th and U, the place where I got my first-ever traffic ticket. Weather is chilly but not unbearable. After eight weeks of sucking, things now seem to suck less.

MY PRIDE STILL FEELS THE STING...

...you were my everything: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GSBFehvLJDc

IN THE SPIRIT OF CHRISTMAS...

I did not tell the McLean Bible Church assholes to go fuck themselves.

DAY 57

Eight weeks ago today we were robbed. Robbing the obsessive compulsive is a particularly shitty thing to do--we obsess/agonize over it twice as much as anyone else.

ETA-it was 28 people who were killed in Connecticut yesterday.

DAY 56

27 confirmed dead in Newtown, Connecticut. I pass the site of the robbery at least once every day.

Every traumatic incident feels more traumatic now--ambulances, cop cars...

DAY 55

Today is the feast of St. Lucy. According to most calendars, starting today, the sun will go down one minute later every day.

DAY 54

Today is the feast of Our Lady of Guadalupe, apparently a big one in this neighbourhood. Things are weird here and it's nowhere near full moon.

janedoe@seductive.com

DAY 53

I am not handling any of this well.

DAY 52

Paybacks are a bitch. Just sayin'

Bushed

Three parties in one day.

DAY 51

Today is the second Sunday of Advent. Yeah, I know it's pretty lame.

WHY IS THIS NIGHT DIFFERENT FROM OTHER NIGHTS?

Oops, sorry, wrong holiday. Happy Chanukah!

WALK AWAY

This is what cops tell me to do: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lmpJZ8hNZR0

And I just think this is a cool song: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SqAh1dQu_pg

DAY 50

Today is the Feast of the Immaculate Conception. Seven weeks ago we were robbed. Perpetua died four weeks ago.

WEEK

Dow closed up, weather got pretty cold, week ended rather pleasantly. The lowest gas price I saw was $3.35/gallon at the Sunoco Station on Harvard St. and one other place. On new meds but getting sloppy about the old ones. Not sleeping well and forgetting to eat.

janedoe@seductive.com

EVEN AT MY AGE

I still ache from desire: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r0cZx6JN6SQ

Infamy

The Japanese bombed Pearl Harbor 71 years ago today. When I was a little kid it was on calendars like a holiday but my parents said it was inappropriate to wish peeps Happy Pearl Harbor Day.  Some peeps say last year's earthquake, tsunami and subsequent nuclear disaster were revenge for Pearl Harbor. And then there was Godzilla: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ln8-Y-fIbqM

DAY 49

This car ran into Mac's. I can vouch for my whereabouts at the time. First the fire at Shenanigans, now this. Who's next? Millie N Al's? North Sea? Pizza Boli's? Starbucks? The Diner?

LIFE DOES NOT IMITATE ART

A bunch of Law and Order SVU episodes on the USA network. DC cops are nowhere near as diligent. And yes, sexual crimes are heinous--at least I wasn't raped.

DAY 48

Happy St. Nicholas Day: http://universecityblog.files.wordpress.com/2011/12/patron-saint-nicholas-patron-saint-of-poor-people.jpg?w=640

OUR PEOPLE ARE FUCKED UP

janedoe@seductive.com

WHAT DO I STAND FOR?

Most nights, I don't know: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qQkBeOisNM0

DAY 46

Talked to a cop tonight--he told me not to feel guilty. But do you realize I didn't mean for any of us to get hurt? And that I probably think about it a thousand times a day?

MATTERS OF THE HEART

The sister of a high school classmate is awaiting a heart transplant in California. Apparently I wouldn't make a good donor, even dead: http://hearttransplant.com/faqs_hearttx.html

TO THE ASSHOLES WHO ROBBED US:

You have no idea what you've done. I hope you're happy with the less than 60 dollars you got from me. Because things will never be the same. You suck.

janedoe@seductive.com

AFTER ALL THAT WE'VE BEEN THROUGH...

I will leave it up to you: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zqq3tW3iACw

And I DID say I was sorry. Nothing more I can do.

DAY 45

My ass does not smell like patchouli. And I am not into voodoo. I'm Catholic.

SUNDAY PAPER

DAY 44

Today is the first Sunday of Advent.

WEEK

Bitter cold in the last couple days but warming up. I think the cheapest I paid for gas was $3.35/gallon at the Sunoco station on Harvard St. Working through medical stuff--it's a struggle to make appointments, take medications etc.

MASSAGING ASSHOLES

Talked with D about massaging assholes. I meant people who are assholes, not actual rectal massages.

"NOVEMBER...

...is the most disagreeable month in the whole year"

Louisa May Alcott

And now it's December, but yeah, it's been a sucky couple of weeks.

WORLD AIDS DAY

Today is World AIDS Day.

DAY 43

Six weeks ago we were robbed. Perpetua died three weeks ago. At least now I have two pigs again.
