the valid point

“I’m not morally opposed to the idea of sexual abstinence. It’s just not practical for me; because I’ve got to have sex…It’s the public nature of it that I find interesting. Michel Foucault, the poststructuralist French philosopher, said that in Victorian society, the preeminence and celebration of chastity was in fact the mirror of hedonism,” Brand explained. “In other words, if you’re constantly drawing attention to your abstinence from sex, you’re also drawing attention to sex. With somebody like Mick Jagger, it’s all about sex, sex, sex. But with the Jonas Brothers, it’s no sex, no sex, no sex. You see what I mean? The emphasis is still on sex.”

words of wisdom from (of all places) Russell Brand, talking about the Jonas Brothers, but I think it can be applied equally to the current Disney and Twilight culture.

In other news, my room is painted, yay!!!!

And my HP picspam is coming along, but slowly. Finding just the right pictures is so time consuming! I'm really happy with it so far.

I wasn't going to post tonight because I was napping, but my friend called me and woke me up, so I thought why not? Hope everyone is well!
