From Hag to Happy!
I was just inspired by my good (and hot) friend Tos. His musings on being in a transitional period in his life made me realize that I too, am going through a similar phase and this dovetails perfectly fr om the last post on purging the fag-hag within.
I just moved from Los Angeles, bought a condo, got a new job, started hitting the gym. Like Tos, I’ve also found myself more reflective and honest with both others and myself.
I returned to DC and moved 8 blocks from my old home of 17th/R, 8 blocks in either direction from good friends in Columbia Heights and Dupont. 8 blocks from my favorite bars, restaurants and shops. People no longer stop by my pad EVER. I have to plan on having people come over. I can’t accidentally bump into old friends on the street and spontaneously head off to a bar on a random Thursday. As a result, I spend more time in my apartment, at the gym, and cooking. I’m losing weight, gaining slightly more confident and almost on the verge of re-entering the straight social scene! egad!
Top 5 things to Banish the Fag-Hag within:
5) Cut credit cards in half
4) quit drinking
3) hang out in Adams Morgan, Capital Hill, Georgetown (uuururrrgh)
2) stop watching ab fab and dreaming of being Eddy/Patsy
and last but not least (and this one’s the hardest)
1) drop the attitude!

OK now I’m flattered - pretty girls never used to like me, let alone ones who had 1/2 a brain and were fun. But that aside - daaaaaaaaaaaarling ain’t nothing wrong with you being a fag hag if you choose to use that label. Everything you listed is what we all need to do - ok well save #2 (are you crazy?!) and #3 you don’t really want to hang in those hoods do you?! str8 places yes - that i get, you ain’t gonna meet a bf at cobalt - but all those bars are AWFUL, full of cookie-cutter trendy chain store shoppers who all dress exactly the same (ok so we homos are guilty too, but not this one) and aspire to mega-salaries, suburban trackhomes and the eventual death from BOREDOM. Stay where you belong, the hip funky hoods, CoLA heights, the new U and gag yes dupont/logan. You are far to hip and fun to slum in G-town or worse - the Hill (insert shrieking noise here) Oh and keep the attitude - we need more people who aren’t fence-sitting, wishy washy, non-boat rockers like you (and me!) Stay black! umm I mean stay fabulous - TOS

Debbie,
Well, you should quit drinking as your first aim….
But, drink a little bit is okay…
For me, I think is okay…
At least have been tasted before….
Actually I love drinking….
But, my mom hates it…
So, I seldom drink….
I like to drink Vodka….
I think it is great….
