"An industrial capitalist society that does not recognize ecological limits but only perpetual economic expansion and has the profit motive as driver, will eventually consume and destroy itself."

oh man, what the hell is going on here?i don't think i've ever really been hit on before. not in college, not in high school, and not in DC since i've been here. However, in the last week lots of things have changed, following late late night bike races with a courier dude in the in the rain and a heavy night of halloween eve drinking at the sojo house i've become kind of sick (you know that little bug where your tummy and throat hurts, you cough pathetically, and your head feels funny) and have hence embarked on a steady diet of post halloween candies, french fries, greasy-nasty pizza, alcohol, and a refusal to shower. i have consequently gained a few pounds, a greasy head, and a steady stream of attention from my male counterparts. At recent parties i've found myself drawn into party-long conversations with older men where i drunkenly bull-shit out of my ass. such as at the MVS party on saturday and the election night party at Dirty's house where i actually left the party with the guy's number in my pocket (Paul Selby 240-535-0946). At a party in NYC last night I decided a great way to avoid unwelcome advances was to simply pull the "oh, I'm not really into guys" line, at which point the scary New Yorker guy offers me drugs, which i promptly decline and excuse myself from the conversation. A similar thing happened today as I was was not-paying to ride on the metro, as i'm following a guy through the metro-thingy i here him start to chuckle so i mutter a quick "thank-you." On our way up the escalator he acknowledges that we "all gotta do it sometimes" (not pay to ride metro) and seeing this as an opportunity to be bad-ass i reply "i do it all the time" (this is very much NOT true, MEG does it all the time, i'm usually on my bike, but i'm used to us being clumped together, so it's true enough) any way, the dude starts speaking some sort of south-east, inner-city jargon, which, although i'm not drunk, I attempt to bull-shit my way through but eventually have to admit i have no idea what the hell he is talking about. I end up telling him I have a girlfriend which is totally cool with him 'cause apparently his baby's momma does too, at which point he too asks me if i do drugs and if i would like some "x" and i'm free to stop by his place over there on the other side those apartments. ahhhhhhhhh! what the hell is going on here fellas?!??! i don't understand. If a girl is clearly not interested why would they want to but drugs from you? and worse yet, why is the only cell phone number i acquired AND wanted, the one from the biker guy who said he could get me a courier job, not work? grah. poop stain.
anyway, pretty much i just thought it was funny how after i told people i had a girlfriend they offered me drugs.
