In response to Jenni's blog I would love a weekend in The Dame but not sure the old man would believe it was a university requirement . As Jen also said about prostitution It's your body . I believe that's true however I do think that for most it's not all high class and glamour like Billy Piper makes out . I think if you asked the girls up Carma (red light district in Walsall) they would tell you it's cold ,has long hours , the customer feed back is terrible and the pays piss poor.

Bulling tactics at university

I think bulling should come under the being bad heading . At school I was fortunate to not have been bullied but I saw the devastating effect it had on some of my peers . However since last week in one of my seminars I had the feeling a set of females where trying to bully me . When I was talking to the lectures they where constantly laughing and making both myself and the lecturer feel quite uncomfortable . The situation could have gotten out of hand if I had reacted in a immature way , and forgot I was a grown up and had a reason to be in the lecture (like to learn ). Sadly events like this are all to frequent especially it would seem in university amongst people who are doing degrees in things like social care ( that was my seminar )

Again in response to Tracy's blog I find it hard to lie but just as hard to be blunt . I remember when I was a kid my mom told me you had to have a very good memory to lie and I never have . I try really hard not to lie , but sometimes when peole ask things like " how old do you think I am " I will lie because the truth might end with a slap in my face.

I think Tracy's piece on masturbation is brilliant she's right about the Victorians they where all a bunch of repressed pervs . as I said in by own blog I feel uncomfortable talking about it I am happy to say I don't feel there is anything wrong in it . The Victorians have always intrigued me I'm sure I hear ed some where Old Queen Vic herself was a smack head

Mainstream masturbation

In Thursdays lecture we spoke about masturbation and how it has changed in terms of years . I do find it shocking to think it was regarded with such venomous distaste . However I remember being told by my nan that not so many moons ago children who wrote with their left hand where thought to be spawned by the devil . What seems so absurd to us today was part and parcel to life back in the day . I'm a 30 year old women and I must admit I find talking about masturbation uncomfortable , but I do come from quite a prudes family . It also gives you hairy palms and sends you blind.

Loved what Jamie had to say about the Planet . I have similar memories about a club that was there before the Planet was open (same deal diffrent location) It was called The Base it was great loads of cheap drink , sly spliffs and plenty of serial sex fends . Those where the days before kids and consequences . God I miss being young free and loaded.

In response to Tracy's blog

In regards to Tracey's blog I feel that addiction is a gene that we are born with . I think the word addiction is used to frequently for terms i.e cleaning addiction is that an a addiction or is it a habit or a compulsion . Addiction to me is a thing that brings intangibility to a persons live . So yes cleaning can be an addiction if it is an unmanageable aspect of your life.

Cyber Stalking

As we are expected to find things to blog about with relevance to our subject i thought i would have a nag about cyber stalking . It is no great shock to my peeps that i'm naff on a computer but after today Mark the module leader got a lesson is this . Since about 1 this afternoon i've bombarded him with e mails moaning i can't do links , i can't down load photos ' i'm not sure my comments are right ( you get the picture ) . It finally accrued to me about 7pm this evening that i had to stop e mailing him as he was gonna think i was a stalker . Really the poor man must have been s******g himself at my constant barrage of complains the last reply i got was a "yep" . Has anyone else had a similar problem. Not with the stalking but with the blogging.

Smokin the hidden costs

I missed last weeks session so i will write about smoking . It is funny how your politics change on smoking when you give up i was for ever saying as a smoker " it's my business if i smoke its only me who's effected " well now as a non smoker i can see this is a stupid statement as the cost of smoking on the N.H.S is between £1.4 billion and £1.7 billion a year . This is to treat smoke related health problems. I'm not about to bang on about the effects of smoking as where are all adults but the point i am trying to make is how easy it is to see the other side of the argument when you stop deluding yourself about the habit your trying to defend . Very much like addiction don't you think ?

Prostitution and Audrey Hepburn

In last weeks session we looked at film , animation and comedy clips . It was quite funny to look at Audrey Hepburn as a prostitute . If i knew that it was about prostitution I'd have watched at least once over the years. Seriously though i think all the clips could be linked to my first blog as they do high light forms of addiction you could say stealing in the family guy clip is an addiction , stalk king in the peep show clip is related to sex addiction and prostitution can be a consequence of drug addiction . Its worth thinking about.
