2002-10-03 - 6:06 p.m. hi, i don't know how long i have on this computer but i am in new york and god damn i'm so happy to be here. SO happy. of course this isn't a radical fairyland but there's soy milk in the convenience stores & obvious same sex couples everywhere & constant interesting things happening. and after living my whole life in homo-hating, nothing-going-on places such as long island, memphis and philafuckindelphia, being here is totally phantasmagorical. yes. for the curious, i work at publishing company that sells flippant, slightly hip books on consulting & finance. i pack books up and mail them off to our hos in different zip codes. today i sniffed my armpit when i thought nobody was looking and heard a suited guy sigh in a distracted way. oops, i forgot that i'm too uncouth to ever have a "respectable" job. i'm pretty sure everyone around the office thinks i'm weird, but oh fucking well. it won't be the first time and at this job (so far, anyway), i don't have to beg and plead to go to the bathroom, nobody threatens to kill me, and i don't have to stand up for hours on end (all conditions i've experienced in my last job & others) so fuck it. it's pretty good, and the best part is terrorizing 7th avenue every day with my mail cart! people always seem to be pissing in the street in chelsea, which makes me leery of stepping in puddles now. last night a guy went up to me in a health food store & told me all these theories he had. they were brilliant ones, too. and mary saw a girl who looked just like a younger, hipper gwenyth paltrow wearing a shirt that said "bargain gwenyth paltrow". isn't that weird? i can live off of these random experiences forever.
