Party Of One

I didn’t know when I would actually write this, but Feministing posted on the Passion for Christ Movement and after reading all of the links, I just couldn’t ignore it anymore.
Masturbation: is it a sin?
I always had the impression that it was. As a young teenager growing up in a Christian church, anything remotely sexual was automatically deemed as unacceptable for myself in my mind. This didn’t prevent me from surreptitiously looking at porn [although I was first introduced to it by a male family friend…thanks for corrupting me at such a young age you JERK!], among other things.
Kings Or Queens

Over the weekend, Roomie #1 and I turned to VH1 and saw a reality show that was completely unexpected:
Drag queens.
OMG!
For Better Or For Worse

“But I tell you that anyone who divorces his wife, except for marital unfaithfulness, causes her to become an adulteress, and anyone who marries the divorced woman commits adultery.” Matthew 5:32
I feel like I think about marriage a lot. It is something that many typical Americans experience or at least hope to someday experience, although there are indeed some who denounce it as institutionalized oppression by the patriarchy. The first few times I read this passage in Matthew, I nodded to myself and figured that it was pretty reasonable. Marital unfaithfulness would definitely convince me to get a divorce.
Pomegranate Love

Pomegranates are my favorite fruit. They’re not my favorite because I eat them all the time, although I do love the taste and might be inclined to eat them more frequently if they were cheaper and easier to eat – I simply love everything about pomegranates. They’re beautiful, unique, healthy, delicious and were rather rare before food companies started pimping them out like no other [I’m usually drawn to things that are unconventional].
The first time I had POM Wonderful juice, I was enraptured. It was so authentic that I could feel the dry aftertaste, although I’ve never been able to convince myself to buy it again because it’s so expensive. Since then I’ve had Pomegranate 7Up, which was tasty but lacking genuine flavors, which is the same that happened with Pomegranate Izze. I was super excited when I got an email from Red Mango announcing that pomegranate was their newest flavor. When I tried it during winter break, though, the flavor was way too subtle for such a high price. I would recommend getting pomegranate seeds as a topping instead if one wants the flavor.
