Rantings from the bonfire
Pictures of far better times
I've never wanted a holiday weekend to end as badly as this. This was by far one of the worst weekends of 2009 for me, a series of fail that become Colossal Fail, ending with - for the first time since childhood - being called a "n*gg*r", or even better, a "stupid n*gg*r".
The following people have my sincere thanks for the cheering up: Troy, Brittany, Margreet (that twat corrected YOU?), Jordan, Stasia and her peach pie, my awesome sister Amanda, the Crazy Danes (particularly David, Brian and Ib), missfussy, Will from Ohio (come back to the Gothic Realms.. we have cookies), Ronny of Morgenroede, and that very long and very needed conversation with Anthony tonight that will help me to wake up with the revelation that hey, I am made by God, I am made THIS WAY by God, and I am meant to be this way because God saw that it was good, so if you all can't see that.. @*@&# YOU!
Not bad for a "stupid n*gg*r", right?
FRIDAY:
Friday night was a night of zombies and drag queens.. not mixed up.. actually that would have been the Ultimate Cool!!! I went to exquisitetrash's zombie party on Friday the 13th (it's what you do) and saw Hal, Christy, Greg, Angel and some guy whose name I never learned.. we all saw 28 Weeks Later (made me oddly homesick for London), and then some strange movie with Daniel Craig and Nicole Kidman Invasion, had a great time realizing how wrong Hal really is, how he needs mental reprogramming and to be weened off guns (hehe Hal is awesome in his own sick and twisted way), and how exquisitetrash makes the best zombie cupcakes.. and from there I left to see drag queens at the newly-reopened Ziegfeld's down off Half Street.. that was way fun as well! See the pics to see what I mean.. ran into Troy down there and had even more fun with that officially awesome character..
SATURDAY:
I spent the day lounging about doing nothing and feeling unmotivated mainly because being that it is VD and how I hate Hate HATE that holiday, I wanted to avoid all human contact until it was necessary to rejoin them. I did manage to get my skit together and put on my red finest for spellbound_dc of course.. I even did something for the first time ever: I got in before 11pm to take advantage of VIP discounts (the responsible thing to do in this shattered economy) and had a great time hanging with lab_rat1, raghasidhe, pippilongstokin, deadmoonrising, Skot, Bevin, oldsmobile_mike, dj_transept and loss_of_signal (see you at Gothic Renaissance someday!), shadow27 and pmhrh, violinpadraic and Angela, Misha and Diane, Andy and Amanda, coffinwolf (thank you so much for the ride home!!), Ted, vicar, dharmata101 buzzing through, carolynn_dc, tuath13 and their friend Amanda, Sean (333) who looked fabulous, Dirk, Erica, Kirk, Eric, and others I probably forgot because I'm that scattered.. fantastic time and allowed me to momentarily forget my tragically single status..
SUNDAY:
I would just skip today were it not for people begging me to tell others why it was so bad. I went to see Coraline - which was quite good but not as dark as some people make it out to be - then again, normies will find it too dark while freaks like us may not - alone, no one was able to show up. I did see Osiris and his friends but they were going to see the new Friday the 13th (why?). After the movie I walked out only to notice that my $60.00 Smarttrip card I got 2 weeks ago was - you guessed it - lost. So now two bad moments in a row. I am forced to hail a cab home, only to remember that black people cannot hail cabs even in this Obama administration. Was painfully reminded of that for the hours around DC I traveled via Metro farecards (can't take Metro home - Pentagon station is closed for the entire 3-day weekend of evil) Meanwhile this guy in a white hooptie claims he's a "police officer" and orders me to go home. I told him that I'm trying but can't hail a cab. He reminds me he's a "police officer" and orders me, again, to go home. He's in a white hooptie with Maryland license plates. I told him I'll report him to the DC police and ordered him to produce a badge. He said "Mother @*@&@ go home now!". Miraculously, a cab pulls over at the same time to take me home. I gave him the finger like the good Christian I am.
MONDAY:
OK so if you thought that was bad..
Granted I'm off work today and this was probably the only time I wish I were at work..
The landlord lets herself into the apartment while I'm sleeping to tell me she's raising the rent..
I pull a chest muscle and find it difficult to breathe when I get up after being awakened by said landlord
I decide that since I'm up now I'll go online and join an international chatroom. A guy from the Netherlands is not apparently happy that I cannot speak much Dutch (never mind that I speak Swedish instead), and calls me a "stupid n*gg*r".
Monday is now fired.
I went to church dressed completely down because I was too tired of being the church freak and watching 450 stare at me. So I dressed as a total normie, went to Chipotle to join Scott and Stasia, along with Dwight, to celebrate Scott's birthday with burritos and peach pie (mmmm). Then to church together where I run into Jordan again for a bit before I left to go get much-needed alkeyhall, ran into Troy and his friends, and had a fantastic long talk with Anthony that convinced me that dressing down, even for church, is wrong, and that I need to be "who I really am" and if people can't handle it, stare nastily back at them and tell them to go "@#&*#& OFF".
I might do that. At church. What dark fun.
Is it Tuesday yet? More zombies and drag queens, please!
