Porn and Donuts

Well, yet another reminder that UBC isn't the little happy private school that TWU was. And yet another thankful prayer sent heavenward that I didn't have to live in a dorm here!

Our buddy lives in "Vanier," one of the first-year dorms. It's tiny and cramped and dingy and cheap. He saw a sign for a "Porn and donuts" party. He figured the porn part was a joke, or maybe even just 'soft porn.' There's no way people would actually watch something like that together, right? In a group? No way.

But he loves his donuts, and went to grab one. There were about 50 people there, and a big-screen tv playing some hardcore, not-soft porn. They had the windows covered so you couldn't see in from the outside. People were milling around eating donuts, like the tv was background noise. Our buddy booted it out of there in about 10 seconds (enough time to grab a donut, haha).

So, yet another way of desensitizing us. This is a legitimate event organized by the housing directors. Let it happen in groups, let people get over the awkwardness of it, and soon it'll be ok in every area of our lives. It makes me sick.

thats unreal. when i went to visit one time around Valentine's day there were workshops discussing better sex tips...as in students sharing thier personal experiences. it's crazy how postmodern it all is. I consider myself pretty liberal but that's just beyond me. hollah TWU!

Hi prayer sista! I didn't know you have a blog - it is fabulous. Just wanted to say that you have brought me so much encouragement this year. Thanks for being you. I will miss you, but I won't miss living in Vanier!
