Hooray for boobies!

Saturday 6.

1. What do you generally find more offensive in a film: too much bad language or too much nudity?
pfft. That's like asking Prince whether he's more offended by too much eyeliner or too much Spandex.

I don't care for sex scenes in movies [unless I'm actually watching it FOR that], but nudity doesn't really bug me. And what is this "too much bad language" you speak of?

2. You're touring an art museum and find that it has a special exhibit promoting the beauty of the human body that features live nude models. Would you walk into that room?
Depends on how much of a prudish mood I'm in. It's totally irrational, but I'd be more embarrassed on behalf of the naked people than myself. If I were alone, I might walk past. If I was with somebody, I'd be dragging them in. Why? ~shrug~

3. What if you personally knew one of the models: would you walk into the room then?
I'd definitely go in then, if only to say hi.

4. Take the quiz: Do you have a dirty mind?
It says my mind is PG-13. It didn't ask about slashfic, though, so that kinda skewed the result.

5. You're cleaning house and you find pornography: would you be more upset if you realized that it belonged to your spouse, your child, or your parents?
I'd be pissed that they didn't share it with me. If it was my kid, I'd be more or less concerned depending on the kind of pornography. If it was your usual run-of-the-mill porn with unnaturally proportioned women being treated like objects, I'd be very worried. If it was just naked people or people having mutually satisfying sex, then I'd be less concerned. If the kid was old enough to be having sex, and I looked in their room and found how-to videos or books teaching them how to communicate their needs and satisfy their partner, I'd be elated. I've felt for a long time that sex ed should focus not just on how it's done and how to avoid disease, but also how to make it mutually enjoyable.

I think I'd be slightly weirded out by my parents having porn, though, but I think I'd get over it as long as they weren't sitting there going, "See, hon, we did this one last week..."

6. If a local referendum gave you the chance to outlaw all pornography in your state, would you want to see that pass or fail?
Fail. It wouldn't make a damn bit of difference anyway unless they either a] conducted routine searches of everybody's house and computer or b] cut off Internet access to the whole state. There has always been porn; there will always be porn. I'd personally prefer to see less of things like rape porn and other stuff that glorifies the objectification of people; but as for just pictures or videos of people fucking, I don't see what the problem is. As long as you're watching it in the privacy of your own home, I don't get why it's anybody's business.

Saturday 8.

1. a high-paying job (with great benefits and minimal actual effor) at krappe hours ... take it or leave it?
Take it. If the only thing that sucks about it is the hours...well, I already have a job with sucky hours, and it also has sucky pay and sucky insurance, and I come home sore as hell every day. I'd go somewhere else, but the pay sucks even worse everyplace else, and I can't afford a pay cut unless I want to default on my student loan.

2. do you have a "one that got away" in your past romantic life?
Not quite; there's one ex I wouldn't mind renewing a friendship with, though.

3. what is one job you would never take, no matter how much they paid you?
Prostitute.

4. what behaviour is completely unacceptable in someone you're dating?
Pretty much everything, since I don't date.

5. have you ever dated a co-worker? how did that work out?
No. Nononono. Frida has more sense than that. I may be a nitwit, a psycho and an only marginally reformed skank, but even I have more sense than that.

6. have you ever been sexually harrassed, witnessed someone get sexually harrassed, or had a friend be sexually harrassed in the workplace?
Yes.

7. the opposite of #3 ... aside from being paid to loaf around and relax on a beach somewhere (or your lazy activity of choice), what's your dream job?
Making art and music.

8. my new boss was totally shitty to me this week "on principle," and even snapped at me quite bitchily; my colleagues were horrified. you have the support of your colleagues, but not your boss ... you love your job - what do you do?
Go over the boss's head. Either the upper management will bring the boss in line, and s/he won't have any choice but to treat you fairly; or the boss will get back at you somehow by either finding an excuse to fire you or making your job so horrible that you have to quit for your own sanity. No matter how much you love your job, if your boss hates you, you are guaranteed to end up hating your job. The sucky boss will make sure of it, and you'll end up having to leave anyway. At least if you report the boss to his/her boss, there's a chance things will work out okay. If there's an investigation, they'll question your co-workers, and they'll back you up.

Hope it works out all right for you. I know what it's like to work with somebody who has it in for you and/or has no respect for you. It's hell.

And that's about it for me today.
