its not on if its not on

a few years ago i helped put together a few sex education seminars for the kids at the youth centre i volunteered at. this is something i feel quite passionately about, believing as i do that the amount of sex education provided to adolescents in this country (at least in the public school system) is beyond a joke.

i have been asked to assist in organising further seminars this year. i have accepted the invitation, and will soon be busy organising free condoms and gift packs to be handed out at each seminar.

i am always amazed at how easy it is to convince condom manufacturers to send large boxes filled with condoms to my house. just by telling them i am a "youth liaison officer" (wanker) running sexual health programs at a community youth centre, certain companies have had the packages signed, sealed and delivered to my doorstep within a few days.

last time i did this was most amusing as i purposefully failed to tell my parents that 4 or 5 boxes of condoms would be delivered to the house in the space of a week. hilarity ensued. and i heard my mother say "slut" for the first (and only) time. this time its less funny, as the prospect of having several boxes of condoms at my disposal just seems like the world is mocking me for having ABSOLUTELY NO USE FOR THEM!

so, if any of you are still too embarrassed to buy condoms from the corner shop in case the salesperson tells your mum, i'm sure i can save you a few.

hmm I have only ever heard my moher say the word slut once too. It was in reference to Madonna. I was 11 years old and pasting posters of Madonna to my wall. She pulled me aside and said 'Madonna is a slut. You know what that is? No? It's a person who has lots of non-commital sex. Madonna therefore is a slut" Ok so she used it more than once, but it's the only time!

i'm thinking your mama should have a blog of her own. she could explain bad words to the unenlightened and also tell embarassing stories about you as a young pup.
