So Katie Koestner came in and spoke to us about date rape this morning. She was a really good speaker and she told a really moving story about how a guy she thought she could trust betrayed her. I thought his "come with me to Greece, but you have to drink and wear whatever i say" was a little cheezy, but she was in love, and when you're in love, you have sorta like.. a beer goggles effect, so she totally couldnt see through it. not like ive ever been in love or anywhere near, but thats what id imagine itd be like. She also, even though it was a serious matter, kept a really humorous undertone in order to keep the talk less awkward. I especially liked when she was talking about jersey kids getting caught having sex in the aisles of public movie theaters. And Mr. Raffa, my french teacher (preppics webmaster) took tons of pictures while she was speaking, and the stops her speech, singles him out, and yells "Sir, do you think you have enough pictures?!?!" he felt so awkward and refers to it as his "public humiliation", but it was so funny. She gave us her screen name and I added her name to my buddylist. Im going to IM her some day. Which means im going to go to first base with her in new jersian elementary schooler speak. see below.

"In an elementary school in New Jersey they were going through the 'bases' for me. First Base is IMing. Second Base is a Phone Call. Third Base is Eye Contact. and Fourth Base is touching above and below the belt, hooking up, and sex. all at the same time."

"At different colleges they call it different things. At my college they call it "hooking up". In New York they call it "talking". At Oregon they call it "Shacking". At California they call it "Mashing". In Texas they have "shacking" AND "Mashing" which can get pretty complicated. And in Iowa, they have... well.. they just dont have it at all in Iowa"
