I ... I ... I think my DVD player is broken.

*whimper*

You know those lovely idiotic abstinence-only CDC guidelines? Well, go here to read comments about it that were posted through the CDC's comment page. And if you want to enter the fray, go here to send them your own opinions. (Much thanks to eiluned for the links.)

I submitted, although it's not up there yet, but it basically said that I am a twenty-six-year-old virgin and I could count the number of people I knew besides me whom abstinence worked for on one hand, then brought up that my brother went into sex well-educated and he knows better than not to use a condom, while the son of a family friend became a father at the age of fifteen. (Granted, he's turned out to be a really good father and a responsible kid, but still, fifteen. Gyah.)

I also threw in a reference to that metaquotes entry here, which as an escaped Catholic I adore with a fiery, loving passion.

EDIT: On an unrelated note, yesterday I was going to work and was counting all the women I saw wearing those mesh flipflops with the sequin flowers that everyone seems to be wearing, and I thought, "I don't think I'd go out and buy a pair of those." Then I got to work and Bosslady gave me a pair of new red ones that a customer gave her that were too small for her but fit me perfectly.

You know, I don't think I'd go out and buy an eighty-inch flatscreen TV and a state-of-the-art DVD player. *sits and wait for karma to kick in*

Aw, nuts. Maybe it only works on Friday the 13th.

So, I have a new DVD player. So that's what my savings were for. (Oh, I didn't spend all that much of my savings. Just enough to make me cringe.) The screen's the same size as the other one, but it's much less bulky than the one my mother got me. Of course, my mom got mine on sale, so it wasn't going to be perfect, although God knows I was grateful for it. I think the guys at Best Buy must have thought I was infatuated with the show model, but they were playing ROTK on it, and it was at the part where Pippin sings for Denethor. How can anyone possibly expect me to pay during that? Bring the register over and I'll pay while the battle commences. Sheesh.

Also bought Bartles & Jaymes strawberry daiquiris. I may just be buzzed enough to review Volcano. Maybe.
