Kind of dismayed
Not being a virgin doesn’t make someone a bad person. Not being a Christian doesn’t make someone a bad person, either. (And before anyone asks: I am both.) Jesus hung out with sinners. I don’t think the loving God that was described in the New Testament would condemn anybody. If there’s anything we should have learned from Jesus, it’s that ostracizing people is not how you improve upon society. Didn’t he preach about how everyone deserves love? I might not be a good Christian, but I’ll rally behind that any day.
I think the true measure of goodness should just be goodness. What you are like as a human being. Not who you pray to, or who you hang out with; not how closely you conform to a standard that was set by fellow humans anyway. Not the state of your hymen or the straightness of your sexual preferences, but how much love you bring into the world.
If the world is a slightly better place for at least one other person because you are in it.
I hope that’s not just me.

Wait. I know this girl. HAHAHA. Woah.
Echoes from my childhood
Is it normal to have whole dialogues of shows you watched as a kid still intact in your head? I’m not sure if I have a really good memory, or if I’ve just been watching too much TV as a kid, but I still hear voices those shows I’ve watched in Nickelodeon and Cartoon Network.
Lil:
My name is boogery Lil.
I give all my boogers to Phil.
They’re yellow and green,
And you know what I mean,
And…and…
And Angelica is the best!
Angelica: Nice save, Lillian! Nice save!

Inside out boy wears a robot helmet, while some kid presents him for a science fair. The kid drops a Twinkie in the robot “mouth”.
Inside out boy (robot voice): The twinky travels down the esophagus where it gets digested in the stomach.
Random girl: It’s so realistic!
Teacher: I’ll say. The winner of this year’s science fair is Mitch Mitchell. Would you like to say a few words?
Inside out boy: *HICCUP!*
(Whole auditorium jumps and screams in panic)

My name is Betty Ann Bongo! I sing my little song-o! I sing it all day long-o! Oh. A twig.

Do YOU still have cartoon voices echoing in your head?
