Lions and Hymens and Bears...Oh My

So apparently the new "it" thing, or maybe not "it" thing but the newest possibility of a trend is called a hymenoplasty. In other words, with one hour long surgery and $2,500, you can buy your virginity back! Why would anyone want their virginity back?!?! You get rid of it for a reason. However, there are apparently some that do request it back. Usually this has to do with getting married and being a virgin on one's wedding night. Some cultures take this more seriously then others, so some women are choosing to get a hymenoplasty done while others are being asked to get it done by their families. This was all in the Saturday Star under this article, for those wishing to read the whole thing. http://www.thestar.com/article/456711 I guess some put a lot of importance into the hymen. Just because it's broken doesn't mean you've had sex. I find this all to be quite ridiculous. I believe in the Charlotte York virgin idea - if you haven't had sex for a year, you are a born again virgin.

Apparently I live on a property with some magic bushes. One time, they procured a Best Of Nirvana album for me. Yesterday they presented me with some Nintendo Wii Composite Cables. What are the odds? They retail for $39.99 at my nearest Best Buy. My guess is that someone stole them and then threw them into my bushes to hide them. Idiot should've known never to throw it into bushes located on a well-kept lawn. The Park Ranger makes daily rounds.

I am currently watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer for the first time in years. It's amazing seeing it again and cringing a little bit. And also realizing how young I was when I first watched the show. And I realized something odd. No matter the fact that obviously Buffy and the main characters obviously live for awhile, especially since they had about 7 or 8 seasons, I still sometimes get worried someone is about to die. Very juvenile of me.
