Either lj or my e-mail is refusing to send me notification mails, so if I have not replied to a comment I apologize! I keep scrolling back to keep tabs on comments I've left, but I might forget some.

Anyhow, for anybody who hasn't seen it: the Wee Sister betook herself to see Jared & Jensen at the soap-box derby this weekend, for those who are interested in that kind of thing. She took pictures!

Also, I hear Jordin Sparks lost her shit at the VMAs and implied that anybody who doesn't wear a purity ring is a slut? Well, guess what, honey -- I'm contentedly close to being asexual and I STILL think purity rings are fucking nonsense. ESPECIALLY if your parents give you one at 13 (along with your betrothal papers to a nice young person from a wealthy family that daddy picked out, I'm supposing). They're not some magical barrier against pre-marital sex; in fact, all they do is provide a visible, tangible way for their wearers to lord it over everybody else for having superior "Christian values" and being heterosexual future breeders.

Then again, Jordin Sparks is what, seventeen? And there's no better time to act like a jackhole than when you're seventeen; it means there's still time to grow out of it. heh.

Seventeen = just a kid and thank God there wasn't anyone recording my vast "wisdom" at that age, but purity rings are the creepiest shit EVER. "Look at my physical hymen symbol! See how it's perfectly UNBROKEN? My daddy gave me that! He spends a LOT of time thinking about my hymen and my private parts and how horrible it would be if some OTHER MAN ever got near them!" Brrrrr.

It's like A Date With Dad (http://www.family.org/parenting/A000001229.cfm) all over again!!

.......am I weird that when I was that age, I so did NOT want or need my father "affirming my femininity"? I keep thinking about the horrible dad in It: "I worry about you, Bev. I WORRY ABOUT YOU A LOT."

ETA: " 'The research clearly says that daddies make all the difference in the world,' says Kevin Leman, national speaker and author of What a Difference Daddy Makes. 'I have tremendously more impact on my daughter than my wife does.' " Yeah, because Jesus forbid a mere woman have any importance or relevance in any aspect of family life beyond the royal privilege of birthin' YOUR babies, right? God, these people get more fucking twisted by the hour.

The repetition of the word 'daddy' is really grossing me out. I mean, in addition to the other gross parts.

[violetisblue.livejournal.com]

Yes. My "dad" stopped being my "daddy" long before I hit my teens, which they'd probably point to and go, "Ahh, now THAT'S why you're gay! See? See?!"

There is only one Godly word to use for your father! Anything else is endorsed by Satan.

I like how they fuck up and accidentally paste in a part near the end where they talk about taking your SON out for pizza and slipping him tickets for "a game". So I guess gay dates with Daddy are okay too!

My brain just broke trying to picture a father-son "purity ball." I hope you're happy.

There'd be a lot of those shoulder-punch manhugs, right??

That... is seriously the creepiest thing, ever. I think it's the pet name in the narrative, mostly. Sugar? Omg. Omg, I can't handle it or the idea that a metal band is supposed to stop kids from fucking.

IS IT NOT SO GROSS. I mean, I am all for fathers taking a more active role in parenting, but do they have to frame it as a "date"?!? That is SERIOUSLY messed up. As much as your dad having that much interest in your hymen.
