I decided to give todays lecture on Body piercing and tatoo's a miss for a number of reasons. Firstly, I heard there was going to be extremely horrible pictures and I am extremely squemish. Call me a girl if you want, I don't care! Personally, I would never get anything pierced but I don't really care about other people doing it. I can't think of a reason why it could be considered bad. (Maybe if i went to the lecture I'd have a few, oh well!).
I might consider a tatoo if it was the definate thing i wanted. I'd be upset if it looked shit though, so i don't know if when push came to shove if i actually would go through with it. But interestingly this course has made me push myself further. For instance, i overcame my fear of rollercoasters by going to Alton Towers, and overcame my fear of Americans by talking to Jackie, to name but a few examples. Thanks 'Being Bad', you made me a more complete person!

I really enjoyed Mark's lecture on masturbation last week. (I love how we can call lecturers by their first names!). I thought he dealt with a delicate subject well and I think everyone took it with a pinch of salt and had a good laugh. I know I did! The thought of it being a bad thing though is simply preposterous. For me, it's just part of life, like eating and drinking. It's human nature. I don't really want to go into excessive detail about my own habits, but lets just say I don't pray for redemption everytime I pleasure myself!!
Just as a side note; I thought some of the terminology and euphemisms used to describe wanking were hilarious. I don't know who said it, but the one about 'shooting the yoghurt cannon' or something to that effect was inspired. Whoever it was, let me know, because I am in your debt!

I hate this module! It keeps emphasising what a bad person I actually am. Everyone seems to be spurting the same crappy line, "I don't know what to write about"....yet i seem to have no problem. I'm not saying I'm Adolf Hitler or anything (although I would like a moustache like his!) but I seem to just be reciting my life on this damn blog!
Anyway, just a note to say how i really enjoyed the lecture on 'Smoking'. The lecturer whose name i've already forgotten (that's pretty bad) was excellent at working the room. He put forward some great points I had never thought of and his clips were hilarious. I don't smoke and never would and really can't understand why anyone would bother. Maybe it looks cool on some people but not most of the people I see! Its a constant drain on resources not to mention health.
My personal view is that people who smoke have some kind of insecurity. Smoking releives the stress of life and makes them part of some gang or elitist group. I suppose if it makes them feel better, then it's up to them. Each person to their own as I say.
Just as a side note, I have a mate who constantly takes a drag of his fag and blows it in my face. It drives me crazy, so if you smoke and are doing this conciously or otherwise, then read this message;
STOP IT YOU WANKER! IT'S REALLY F***ING ANNOYING!!

I really don't want to make myself sound like an alcholic, as my last entry included a comment on my consumption of lager and subsequent hangover but again, I was entoxicated heavily on Saturday and did my 'Being Bad' image the world of good!
Celebrating the 19th anniversary of my escape from the womb, I invited some of my close friends to partake in a birthday drink. This turned into many quite fast. Mixing is a rookie mistake, and I now know why! After 5 pints, a double whisky and vast amounts of Vodka, (God Bless Russia!) I was a little worse for wear. By the time I got up town, I was able to totally redecorate the Civic with my vomit spreading like wildfire.
To say I embaressed myself, my friends and everyone I came into contact with would be a horrible understatement! To compound my misery I had to work six hours in the very pub I got drunk in the previous night, with everyone regailing me with tales of my supreme idiocy (is that a word?). Me and my liver have learnt a valuable lesson about alcohol abuse. Don't expect any more posts about drinking because I won't be for a hell of a long time! Well... at least until Christmas.

It's safe to say i've found the last couple of lectures hard going, for various reasons. The session on 'infidelity' was very much different to what i had expected. I was sort of thinking beforehand that we would have the idea drilled into us that cheating on a partner was wrong, full stop. This wasn't the case! Our lecturer played with the idea that infidelity could be condoned in some cases. I didn't agree. I don't usually stick with convention on many ideas but i beleive a relationship only works one way, if you stay faithful to each other. When trust diminishes, the repotoir you share with a partner goes the same way. But thats just my opinion. As i noted in my earlier entry, i already feel like an old man because of my views and attitudes towards life. When the Tories are voted back in, (which isn't likely to happen soon) I'll be happy!
In all honesty, I really wasn't in the mood for yesterdays lecture on 'Bandits'. I usually work late on a Tuesday but they let me go early as we were horribly overstaffed. I took the opportunity to enter a local drinking establishment and consume some beverages of an alcholic nature. Predictably, the next morning I was a little worse for wear. I was tired, hungover, yet somehow managed to pull my haggered carcus into the lecture theatre. With no disrespect to our lecrturer, who always makes the debates interesting, I was falling asleep. I did however perk up, when we were shown the old clip of 'Robin Hood'. A good choice because it illustrated his point of the lecture well, but also made me laugh because of the costume and in my opinion, horribly below par acting. Yet again though, i beleive stealing is wrong in modern day society no matter what. Back when the people who we discussed were around, (Ned Kelly etc) things were different. Welfare was not available and governments didn't always look kindly on the poor. This is not the case now. Call me old fashioned if you like, I don't care! I am old fashioned.
