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.

It's serious and I don't like the way it's been made into a fad or fashion statement or whatever.
This statement in particular helps me understand more where you're coming from, because it really disturbs me when Hindu religious items/iconography is used in a faddy way by people who don't GET IT.
Seriously, I am so thankful that you took the time to engage me in dialogue on this; it couldn't have been comfortable to make that first comment, so I very much admire you for doing it!!
