Argh.

Now that that's out of my system, I'll tell you about my day yesterday!

I went to the S/AM workshop. It was for high school students all over the area. What's odd is that the three high schools who were conspicuously absent were RHS, Bonar Law, and Tantramar, all curiously connected to Sarah in one way or another.

So, prepare yourselves, because I may never say this again:

Teenagers are COOL.

I've had such a biased view of them for quite a while. My view was based mainly on the jerkoffs who scream from car windows, blaring Eminem and 50 Cent. But, man, these kids were neat. Granted, they were a select few of the top student peer helper types from their respective high schols. But they've renewed my faith in their generation. There were two guys who killed me all day, they were so funny. During an icebreaker, one person would stand in the middle of the circle and say something like "I have a dog", then everyone with a dog would stand up and run to sit back down in an empty seat. Sort of like musical chairs. One of the guidance counsellors got up and said "I had sex with my husband this morning", and the two guys, almost on cue, stood up and changed seats. Fuck, it was funny.

I also fell in love with a teenage girl. She never said much most of the day, but she just COOL. She plays in a band, plays the bass guitar. She was dressed like a rock star, and had red hair with a blond streak in the front. If I was in high school, I'd totally be a lesbian by now. Wow. I want to be in her band.

There were also a couple of obviously (as least to me) gay guys there. But they seemed to be very open. One of them spoke up and said he went to the Sexual Health Center every 3 months, which leads me to believe he must be pretty, ahem, BUSY. I was a little shocked at first, but then I thought, 'hey, he's smart enough to get checked out every 3 months, he's doing everything right'.

At the end of the day there was a condom-on-the-banana-race. I'm proud to say my team won, with flying colours. I was the holder of the banana (the surrogate wang, if you will). I had 8 students run at me with condoms and deftly cover it one at a time. What a sight.

Anyway, that was day. So looking forward to the weekend.
