Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
The speech I gave my abstainant cousins before they left for college was, "You've set a difficult standard of behavior for yourself and that's always an admirable thing. But if for some reason you don't live up to that standard you can either a) go "crap, I messed up" and return to your former behavior or b) pay for it for the rest of your lives. Get some condoms, put them in your dresser, and never ever open them."
What's so difficult about that, people?
These girls had learned that the same statistic meant that, in real-world situations, as opposed to controlled ones where everything is done perfectly, 10% of acts of intercourse with a condom resulted in pregnancy.
Oh lord.
I am having a seriously eye-stabby day. And so are my coworkers! Whyfor, people???
Oh, and I think it's juvenile crime that peaks after 3pm, not juvenile Doing It. Sorry for spreading erroneous facts.
At my college, anyway, it was kind of hard to avoid getting condoms. There were some in the orientation packet, there was a basket of them in every dorm common room, and just about every group giving out freebies included condoms. One of my friends made a mosaic on her wall out of them, and it was at least two feet square. (And these were all ones that had been given to her, not ones she'd taken from the free baskets.)

I know I shouldn't find that funny, all things considered, but HEE!
Javachick, have you ever read Blankets?
Nope. Should I?
Should I?
It's an excellent book. It sounds very similar to your own experiences. I don't know if that's a good thing, though.

You were the person I was thinking of when I posted that.
I cannot find a comfortable position. I suspect there won't be one until tomorrow. But the nerves on the left side of C3-C7 (well, at least the useless ones) should be dead.
Ugh, ita. I hope you find one sooner than that.
You were the person I was thinking of when I posted that.I figured that might be true.
Apart from the zombie death cold, today hasn't actually been that bad. I haven't gotten yelled at (yet?), and I got out of a dead end project because the partner thought I was out today too.
That's not good ita, not good at all. You did not need to go to the doctor in order to not be comfortable, I'm sure you could have managed that on your own.
Anything I can do to help?
