like celie, i'm here.

i took the plunge. i started a blog.

wednesday night, after an unsuccessful rainbow tour of the east village, mario and i found ourselves wasted at the new venus diner on 23rd and 8th. as we were inhaling our swiss bacon burgers, a girl at the table behind us was being questioned by her homegirl, james. he was asking her if he really wanted to have her baby, especially without a baby daddy. she said she was keeping it, then proceeded to being telling her friends' business, saying how 'tamika' has had two abs already (abs = abortions.), and bonqueesha had this many, and this antandra had already had this many and is still having a baby. i was thinking two things: why is she telling everything to everyone? and two: are abortions still this common place? im not trying to get on a political platform (at all), but that issue is just so far removed from my friends. having to take someone to "the clinic" is never an issue nor is it an appropriate topic for late night patter at the diner. (ESPECIALLY over swiss bacon burgers...the nerve of some folks.)

thinking back, i'm sure people who've sat within earshot of me and my friends at basically any meal (chilis in bloomington or at dallas bbq in times square) have heard some really fucked up/funny things.

whatever, i'm getting cheese fries.

lady gaga's performance on sytycd was pretty fierce.

I think it's fabulous you're blogging!

And the nerve of abs talk at a late night diner... without buffalo chicken strips. Tacky.

k ... leave it to MOI (let's face it, your probably LEAST LIKELY friend ... or close to it!)... to not only FIND your blog right away, but to comment right away.

Several things are funny about this post:
A) The names of the gals spilled their diner-patronizing friend. (Atandra? I love it!)
B) Imagining you finding a way to laugh anyway, without it seeming as though you were laughing at these people's pathetic life circumstances; and ...
C) After the highly controversial subject matter, stating, "Whatever. I'm gettin' the cheese fries."

Aoki Lee,
I couldn't be more excited you're blogging your life on the internet. You've inspired me to start mine up again. In the meantime, you can look at Tim's. Ok, I love you.
