last night at zouk was excellent. everybody i love and care for at this present moment were all under the same roof, if not room, at the same time. boyfriend, 1/2 of the papads sam and ming, and the 3N's nisa nads noodle. when i woke up this afternoon, the next thing i did after smsing ming and sam to make concrete papad-time plans for next week, we're such forward-thinkers, was to come online and check out their blogs. i sort of like it when my friends are predictable like that, it lets me be voyeuristic without feeling like i'm stalking them. anyway, i'm already looking forward to next week, le petit breton then rent. i indulged in my ritualistic sunday newspaper reading in bed this afternoon. the main part of the paper had some big picture with the accompanying headlines, 'secret lives of teenagers', that was i suppose, meant to titillate and shock. it was a hilarious full page article on how.....sit down and get ready for this now.....we are doing it like they do on the discovery channel. the journalists who were assigned the article must have lucked out, research material must have come easy because it isn't at all hard to find teens getting it on these days. come to think of it, when everyone's have sex, whether you're a president's scholar or mat, we are all back to being animals, we aren't all that different after all in the pursuit of satisfying carnal urges. funniest thing was, the article just had to mention that even ace students are having sex. cmon, was it necessary to bring grades into an issue everyone knows is happening and talking about, not to mention filming?? the grades thing was grossly irrelevant. having sex is a lifestyle choice, not a measure of how well you're doing in school and society. one could have quit school and choose to only do it on their night of marriage, another could be a future minister and be a sexual deviant as well. it's a choice, a balance, a decision. it's so funny that on saturday night, when the few of us were getting keyed up pre-zouk and the conversation topic veered to our fetishes, fantasies, wildest places we've done it etc. alchohol emboldened, answers came fast, unhibited and a little funny sometimes and we were such a varied group of people. the journalists of that article would've had a field day just listening to us.

the textual siege.
