Getting girly again

I just started back on hormone-based birth control recently, after a few months of being off of it–the return to the BC being highly motivated by an ‘accident’ that led to a frantic trip to the grocery store for some rather spendy Plan B.  I have mixed feelings about taking hormones, and will be pretty happy when DH gets the snip so this is no longer a concern for us.  However, there do seem to be some positive side-benefits to the hormones.  For one thing, my libido returns to a level that seems far more ‘normal.’

Teen sex

And now, some sobering news.  Watching Sex and the City as a teenager will double (!) your chances of involvement in teen pregnancy.  

I’m generally in favor of sex on television . . . as long as you don’t fall off.  (Rimshot).  

But seriously — damn.  Doubles the likelihood of teen pregnancy.  

It’s almost enough to make me reconsider whether church leaders are actually right (or maybe partly right) on the issue.

Hot for teacher

Parents of a high school class in Hungary are upset that the class’s teacher (described as an attractive twenty-something female) stripped down to her underwear at a school party, on a dare.  

The students are upset that another teacher stepped in and stopped the show; apparently, she was giving no indication that she was planning on stopping.  

Clearly, I went to the wrong schools.

(No, she’s not being fired.  The principal, after carefully and extensively reviewing video of the incident, ruled that it was just “a bit of fun“).  Also, applications to the school have quadrupled.  Okay, that last sentence was a joke.
