Overheard in Dupont Circle no. 2

Once again, our setting is near HRC b/c I'm on my way to the Dupont Chipotle.  I pass a VERY lively threesome:

Swishy + sweetly pudgy: "I'm serious...if I were fuckin' I'd be 20 lbs lighter right now...but I ain't, so I'm not.  I could start fuckin' tomorrow and it just MELT right off, okay?"

Reed-thin male friend:  "Oh...no...you di'nt...no, you DI'NT just go there."

Hag:  "OMG, that girl's* FACE when you said that!"

*that girl being ME

RTMF:  (looks back at me)  "Hahahaaaa, she think you TRIPPIN' Jevon."

Hag:  (also looking at me)  "Omg, tha's too funny. I'm sorry, it's just...your reaction..."

SSP:  (glares at both friends) "What.  It's the truth, aight?  (turns and also, finally, looks at me)  Mmmm-HMMM.  Sheee-it, you know it true, GIRL." 

Me:  "I didn't disagree with you!!"

SSP:  (triumphantly) "I know THAT'S right.  See?  She know. FUCKIN'.  You don't need NO diet or exercise if you FUCKIN' "

...and they laugh raucously down Connecticut Avenue...  :)

Overheard in Dupont Circle

...now that car+metro-free me roams about everywhere on foot.  with apologies to the original, since these probably only amuse me vs millions...

right outside HRC, gang of four:

"You're coming in drag, right?"
"Well if SOMEONE had CALLED me with enough notice..."

.........................

super adorable brown boy, just south of the circle:

"I think it was Ayn Rand who said..."

(why do all cute brown boys dig rand?)

two men outside of a bank on Connecticut Ave:

"i think you need to rethink the closet...if it makes you happy."
