Vagina Monologues, I believe.

Saya 03-11-2011 06:37 PM

Yes! It was really good. I cried during the one about the Bosnian women, but overall it was a lot of fun and hella revitalizing.

Can you blow smoke rings out of yours?

Solumina 03-11-2011 06:38 PM

I'm glad you enjoyed it, sounds like it was just what you needed.

What are vagina monologues?

I'd assume a play, a feminist/woman-centric workshop on expressing some facet of essential humanity or the SoloF section in a porno.

Oh really? Now why do you say that?

Ben Lahnger 03-11-2011 06:47 PM

So I'm guessing (disappointedly) that the power of pussy does NOT lie in Kegel exercises?

Its an episodic play about women and their vaginas, written based on true stories. The author of the play interviewed several women and asked them about their vaginas. One story was about an old woman who hasn't even seen hers and never had an orgasm in her life, one was about Bosnian women who were violently *****, another was about a sex worker who works exclusively with women, there was one about a trans woman, there was one about shaving vulvas (and thats my only complaint, you do not shave your vagina! You shave your VULVA) There was one about reclaiming the word "cunt" (which is why we shouted it), and so on, there's lots of them!

The resource center was one of the beneficiaries, and most of the money went to help women in Haiti.

Usually I say I prefer men over women, but sitting next to my crush and hearing the lesbian stories...

Sunny Day
Sweepin' the clouds away
On my way
To where the air is sweet

The sunshine is calling me and my dog outside. Time for a breath of fresh air.

Solumina 03-13-2011 04:30 PM

Today was a pretty awesome day. Lots of sunshine, a nice long call catching up with a dear friend, and yummy chicken potpie for dinner.

MissCheyenne 03-13-2011 04:31 PM

What exactly is a pot pie? Is it just like......a pie or is it made in some special way?


Also, Versus totally made my day.

Solumina 03-13-2011 04:52 PM

It's a meat pie that are traditionally made individually and served in the same dish in which it was baked (but now a lot of people make them as full sized pies or casseroles since that is easier). Also they are filled with gravy, that doesn't have much to do with them being called potpies but it does have a lot to do with them being so tasty.

MissCheyenne 03-13-2011 04:54 PM

Huh, should have figured that out myself really. Don't think I've ever eaten a pie from the dish it was cooked in, don't think it's the English way to cook.

Ben Lahnger 03-13-2011 10:17 PM

Ooh! Chicken potpie ... yum!

The Divine Ms. M 03-14-2011 02:09 AM

Had a great time @ the Peter Murphy show...man, I wish I had half the energy he does lol. What a show!:D

Fruitbat 03-14-2011 03:18 AM

I got to cut down trees with a handsaw.

Versus 03-17-2011 04:49 PM

So I learned two amusing things today:

In Pashto, "Sister" sounds like whore.

In Pashto, "Sister" is easy to mispronounce as "House."

"May we come in your sister?"

I KNOW it's going to happen.

Saya 03-17-2011 04:58 PM

Ha! Thats why I'm nervous about Mandarin, the meaning of the word changes depending on your tone. So if you don't pay attention to the pitch of your voice, you can end up saying something extremely different than what you mean to say. Foreigners reading out of phrase books get into all kinds of crazy situations.

What made my day:

My school newspaper is a piece of shit, really. Sometimes they have an issues piece but its like they slap them together in half an hour while doing ZERO research. So I generally avoid it, but last week they had profiles on everyone running for our student union so I picked it up to learn about the candidates, and there it was. A piece on whether we should ban the burka, because its a cruel punishment and we need to save the womenz.

So I wrote up a comment, having to keep it short because the website gives you an inch by inch window to write in, and had to send it to a friend to edit my bitchiness out, and today when I went into Women's Studies my prof said she got complaints about the article and how happy she was to see my response on the website, and how awesome it was.

It plucked my self esteem up right before I knocked over someone else's coffee all over the floor. I'm smooth.

Are you planning to go to China?

Saya 03-17-2011 05:37 PM

Yeah, I'm focusing on Chinese religions and philosophy, I have to take Mandarin in the fall.

Fruitbat 03-17-2011 09:12 PM

Saya - go to Hong Kong. You get to practice the language, study China, and yet they welcome foreigners. I love Hong Kong. Although they are pretty strict on no begging rule, and a Taoist monk came right up to me and put his bowl right in my face. I gave him $10HK and later I saw him on the ferry, looking happy.

Saya 03-17-2011 09:15 PM

I was thinking about going there for grad school, actually.
