I first learned about the SU logo/name change at last night's Chancellor's alu m n i reception. I bumped into a "contemporary" of mine from da 'Cuse w h o also works in da Senate--in da same office as that girl I saw MD w ith a few weeks ago. S o we had some drinks at the reception and I went to Red River to meet so m e people from his office. Unf, she wasn't there, but I learned that she th in k s MD is as big of a chump as I do. My SU friend told me that MD w as talking to her long before I came to the Hill. She recently broke up w ith her boyfriend, but SU Dude believes that she won't date MD, th ey're just friends. (N o t that I care anymore, but these things are good to know.) S o my friend AS met up with me at RR and I had two genius ideas: 1 . We should go to Saki. 2 . AS should meet RS. S o I called RS and told him to come over so AS could get a look at him. T h is morning she says (via IM), "He does look like George Clooney, but h e's totally Woody Allen." S h e also said, "He will do anything to make you happy." I s n 't that sweet? And it's true: he stood in line with us at Saki for 1 1/2 h o u rs! B T W , Saki has gotten really hard to get into. But I don't know of any o th er place that is more action-packed on a Wednesday night in W ash in g to n . However, AS and I have decided not to go back there for a few months: we actually recognized people from the last time we were th ere! Which is a v. bad sign. A lso , we will go home and change before we go to Saki. Next time, we w ill not wear our work clothes.

W e went to his house after dinner, a four bedroom in Bethesda. Needs w o r k , but v. cute. S o it turns out that RS cannot finish with a condom on. He can barely s tay hard. So he ends up taking it off and humping away at me. Maybe I forgot to tell him that I'm on the Pill. Note to self... I also learned that he was a cop, so he has scary police shit like handcuffs in his closet. He implied that we would be using them next time, which is intriguing, but I know I'm going to get scared and panicky. (Which w o u ld probably turn him on.)

Just lay back and watch him do freaky shit. W e went to Tune Inn and ate some shit there because it was the only p la ce open at 1am. He walked me home and kissed me at my door.

I am done with W, for real this time. A man who tries to fuck you in the ass when you are sober does not love you. He should at least take you o u t for a few drinks to spare you the pain. Now I know that W does not c ar e about me, only my asshole. T h e whole situation depressed me so much, I turned down a free dinner a n d asked him to take me home. He peeled off a few hundred from that r o ll of cash he carries around, and put the hundreds in my hand as I was g ettin g out of the car. I acted indignant, like I don't need his help, but I k ep t it: why punish myself? I should get something for putting up with h is tired old ass. S o that's the end of W. T h e intern did not show at the party on Saturday. I was disappointed, but it's probably for the best. I don't need anymore sex scandals at work. But I'm bummed that he is not as interested as I had imagined. H a d a good time with AS and her friend G. We got wasted and I passed o u t on my floor Saturday night. S u n d ay, I laid out and got some good sun. Unf, I chose a popular tourist p ic tu r e -ta k in g spot on the Mall, and all these assholes kept trying to snap sh o ts of me in my bikini.
