"When authorities warn you of the sinfulness of sex, there is an important lesson to be learned. Do not have sex with the authorities." Matt GroeningToday in the school newspaper, there were two things on sex. One was a column written by a girl who'd just taken the morning-after pill, and the other was a message from the health center saying to practice abstinence. Wow, can we conflict and give more sermonish messages, or what? Gag me. I am sooooooo sick of being fed lines like these:
"Peer Counselors in Sexuality understand that all people are prone to feeling certain unannounced urges during this much-anticipated season. (And every other season! Sheesh!) We also know that spring fever may awaken certain sexual urges . . . Many people have had the experience of somebody trying to talk them into having sex by using the proverbial phrase, "Everyone is doing it," or "I want to show my love for you in a real way." (Let me just say that any guy who fed me that line would not be getting sex because I'd be too damn busy laughing. Hello, dumb cliche?) Waiting until one gets married is still very much an "in" thing to do. (For the record, the only people I know who do that are fanatically religious born-agains. And I've already stated how I feel about this silly assumption that "someday THE MAN will show up and marry you." This isn't realistic!)" And then they quote from the everpresent book (have you ever read some of this stuff? There's a few suggestions that are extremely stupid, or are likely to lead to the dreaded SEXUAL ACT if done for a while) 101 Ways to Make Love Without Doing It. Okay, 70-80% aren't bad, but aren't there any other sources they can quote? You know how many times I've heard that by now? It's getting old.
Well, the fun's over when it came to the e-mails. After getting about thirty today =), most of various chats about literary stuff and get-togethers, we got a final one saying that the listserve had been shut down, our mail would be censored, and nobody could chat ever again. Isn't that nice? Waaaaaaaah! I hate authority figures, they ruin all the fun!In other news: I bombed the psych test (does this mean I did well?), still haven't decided what to do about the weekend (and the clock is TICKING at this point), just got through with my French homework for the week (I think), but still have all the stupid papers to do. Oh, whee, what fun!
Kristen (see last entry) came over tonight- in a very funny 80's outfit (sorority thing). Very odd to see her after the conversation I heard yesterday. Also, Sarah and Hardeep came over for dinner and Friends-watching- boy, did I call the ending! On the Outlet I'd already heard that there was a cliffhanger (big surprise). As soon as I saw that Rachel wasn't going to interrupt the ceremony and come to the wedding, I started thinking, "Let's see . . . either she interrupts at "any just cause" (which they didn't do- is that the new trend, no opportunity for interruption? I thought you had to do that!) or he says the wrong name, ala One Life To Live . . . I was right! Continuing about the show- hmm, Chandler and Monica did the nasty. Somehow I always figured that would happen too (I saw a whole web site once dedicated to getting them together), but they didn't seem to be too thrilled the morning after. Well, if I were in her place . . . =) And as for Monica being all depressed at the wedding . . . did I really need to see that after having to go to Ron's? Totally my experience, only minus (yet though, I'm sure) the "she'll never get married." Ick. I say next year they fix her up with someone so she can prove them wrong about that thirty-single-washed-up TV thing.
Geez,I have got to finish typing my French and decide on what to do tomorrow!!!

Now that I'm no longer getting 25 e-mails a day (sigh- I already miss it), can you take a hint? Well, only if you want to- if you've got nothing to say, then I'm not going to force ya. Completely understandable.
