Incredibly Ace Moments

[Gho St Ory Qwan]

I had a dangerously ace moment yesterday. Yesterday on the bus, a man talked to me the entire trip (and it was at least a 45 min trip) He was old enough to be my father and married. He basically told me his whole life story, about his days in the Navy, his dyslexia and the problems he had in high school and marital problems with his first wive. I mostly just found him mildly annoying. When he was talking on the phone, I overheard that he was staying on the same street I lived on with family, and I thought that was interesting. When I told my family, they were horrified and asked if I told him that. :redface: I did. Looking back, that was a pretty stupid thing to say, since I have no idea what kind of person this is. It just never occurred to me that he might even think about something like that. I just thought he was a chatterbox.

I have a terrible tendency to do stuff like that. I'm forever assuming everybody is a good person. -_- To be fair, a lot are.

I wish I still thought so. =[

I was talking with some friends at school today about a video they made for one of their classes. And in one scene of the video, a guy walks onscreen with an iron and says "I'm going to smooth out this carpet!" or something like that. I asked what ironing the carpet had to do with anything, and they said it was a sexual reference. Usually I can pick up on these, but... I still don't get it!

Well, "carpet" is a term used for pubic hair, so.

He should have hair straighteners instead then. I don't get what straightening out carpets or pubic hair has to do with sex. =/

Some people say beaver for vagina too' date=' don't they? I don't think Beavers look like running vaginas myself, thankfully. [/quote']

Haha, I DIED reading that. What a ridiculous (if not rather squicky) mental image.

Had another ace moment today, I think.

There's this guy in my health class that keeps trying to hit on me lately, whether he's serious or joking I can't tell. But, he saw these colored bracelets on my wrist and said, "Those are sex bands, you know. I'm gonna call you sex bands. That's your new name."

Well, I know what it means. A sex band is supposedly when a guy snaps a colored bracelet off a girl, she has to give him a sexual favor depending on the color. But I smiled to myself, because the bands are supposed to be kinda stretchy for that, and mine are stiff and hard to move, let alone rip off. I told myself, "it figures, the asexual gets the non-working sex bands!" XD

Maybe you subconsciously choose them that way. ^_^

really embarrassing one... that California Girls song... where it sings about melting your Popsicle... I was in the car with some friends and it came on, first time I had heard it, and I commented that it was a stupid song, who the hell would want some one to melt their Popsicle... then you cant enjoy it/eat it. Every one burst out laughing, after about 5 min of that they explained to me what the song ment... still don't get why that would be a good thing though

That's what I thought too when I heard it, but I caught on to the real meaning pretty quick. I hate that song, but the melting popsicle part annoys me the most because...well.. I guess it just creates such a disappointing mental image. "Oh look, my frozen treat is gone but I get... Katy Perry instead.. <_< "

Some guys I know created a funny parody of that song though. I like their version a lot better.

I lolled so hard at that, omg. Frozen treat > Katy Perry FOREVER. :lol:

One time i got a copy of a film called "The DaVinci Load".

I fast forwarded all the porn scenes because the ridiculous story that strung them together was hilarious and thoroughly entertaining :D

I remember we (my older sister and I) were watching one of those shows where people go on and yell about their controversial lifestyles. One was about a 16 year-old girl who was a prostitute by choice but her sister, 19 or so, was saying that it was dangerous, unhealthy and she could do a lot better than that kind of work.

I remember when the 16 year-old said how much she made per week being a prositute, I said "Ugh, who'd want to have sex with with a 16 year-old?!" and "Who'd pay MONEY for SEX?" Turns out, a lot of people for both questions. Oops. I was about 12 at the time, I think.

More recently, I heard two girls we'll call A and B talking about A's boyfriend.

A: He's nice and all, but a little short and it isn't fun. (I was thinking, you're dumping a boyfriend because he's SHORT? I was of course thinking of height...)

B: But you like him though?

A: Yeah, but, like, he isn't anything on my ex. Last night we tried again and it wasn't any better.

B: Hmm, well, you have to think, is it worth it? I mean, if he's just fun to be around, he's basically nothing more than a friend, right? You need more from a boyfriend.

A: You're right.

B: (laughing) Or you just have to pretend it's like when you were 10 and didn't care about sex!

A: (laughs)

I was so confused. They were 16? and considering dumping a nice guy just because of something petty like sex? and people were going out when they were 10? and after 10 then start caring about sex?! My ace little world died a bit that day.

For reference, I usually get innuendos, double entendres, and even laugh along like others where it isn't overused. It's just actual sexual knowledge and terms I fail at. Why are there so many different words for just having sex?

No it's "Pennsylvania Guys" by The Sloppy Secondz. But I just watched the Key of Awesome video and it reminded me of Candy Land! ^_^

Today I had to attend a sexual harassment workshop for all the new graduate students in my department. It was pretty awkward...there seemed to almost be this assumption that at some point, you'd want to have a relationship or have sex with one of your students, or with your advisor. Um, what??? They even specifically don't have a rule against these relationships, since "we're all sexual beings" (grr) and it's assumed we'll have these feelings. The only rule is against abuse of power in such relationships. Like, if you start sleeping with your advisor, s/he's not allowed to be your advisor anymore.

I went into the workshop thinking it would be a simple "Don't have sex with your students or your professors" thing and then that would be it. It didn't even occur to me that some people might have difficulty following a simple rule like that, enough that they'd need to change the rules to accommodate these desires. If anything, I hoped I'd get some advice for what to do if one of my students gets a crush on me or something, but the only advice there was not to exploit it. Of course I'm not going to exploit it, I just want to know how to properly put an end to it!

(In one of my undergrad classes, a fellow student made frequent comments to the TA that were borderline harassment. She usually just laughed nervously and moved on. I hope I never have to deal with that, because apparently there's no system in place for when the harassment comes from the person lower on the academic hierarchy. It's assumed that the one with power is always going to be the harasser. *sigh*)

My friends and I were watching some porn together (yes I know how weird that sounds), and they were shuffling around, crossing and uncrossing their legs, blushing, fiddling with their hair, giggling, etc. and I was just laughing at how bad the plot was and the fact that the couple was copulating outdoors in the rain.

Neither my husband nor I get that either. Can someone please explain?

I'm one of those people who has that annoying habit of launching off on trivia about any subject that I know something interesting about when it comes up. Just the other day, one of my friends put forth the hypothesis that "mad_scientist probably doesn't know anything itneresting about penises".

I'm a biologist.

My friends now have an understanding about the interesting aspects of elephant, hedgehog and duck penises (and that ducks are special among birds for having penises instead of cloacae), duck vaginas and reproductive strategy, the basic structural differences between clitorises and penises, hyena clitorises, the reproductive strategy of diving beetles, and how men lying about their penis size in surveys has increased over time. Also the biological effects of Nitrous Oxide and Viagra.

Did you start talking about bacula (penis bones), and how they're present in most mammals (including many primates)? That tends to freak people out! :lol:

My physical anthro teacher talked about that. You're right, it did freak most of them out. -grins-

And how did your friends react to your lecture, may I ask?

I assumed it was either sitting on, or in other less (dare I say) gracious ways of melting the popsicle; by placing it in one of the places were the sun doesn't tend to shine (unless, of course, one's a porn star in the rain; then it's possible it got a glimpse of the sun at some point). But I can't be sure.

Lol at sloppy seconds, i know the meaning of that band name was vulgar but luckily I forgot it. XD

Ifind that sexual harrassment meeting thing stupid and you should complain about that. Thats not acceptable.

I remember the teacher at school saying it was perfectly natural to have sexual urges and not to laugh if a guy basically was hard. And I said he didn't really need to be horny for that and they agreed and i asked why they said it was normal and if they were saying it wouldn't be normal to not be thinking about sexual stuff and me and my rival ( <_< bastard <3) had a huge arguement about whether it was normal or not to not care about sex. And the stupid teacher said guys think about it more and it was normal for girls not to be so sexually minded and that they just wanted the class to be considerate of these things. I really wondered how considerate it was that they hadn't considered I was talking about not thinking about sexual stuff at all, not just less. *shrugs* I doubt my teachers were even educated sometimes. =[ Poor fellows...

I looked at this de/motivational poster for absolutely AGES trying to figure out a dirty meaning for "ostrich." Aaaaaaaaaand then I got it.

BUT I STILL DON'T GET THIS. Even after reading all the replies, haha. The metaphor just doesn't make sense to me.

[Gho St Ory Qwan]

lol well it could be because their 'sunkissed skin thats' oh so hot could be sizzling away the ice within a 200 meter radius. Or a link to the popsicle melting and leaking. Similar to ejaculation. because of how hot they are. And hot means good looking or sexy. or maybe hot means horny I dunno one of those. And melting often describes erm, falling for someone or getting nervous or some similar emotions.

OOOrrr she could have shoved it up the pooper and made it melt nyahaha gross or in that other nasty place. Bleh I would rather stop thinking about this. my over-thinking abilities aren't suited for sexual matters methinks...

[Amputation Defenestration]

Well, for the longest time it never suggested anything to me but actual Popsicles, and then when you all started vigorously debating the most likely interpretations of the lyric (and I finally was like, oh, there's sex in it--haha)..to me it sounds like a guy losing his erection, which obviously doesn't jive with the whole sexytimes crazy talk.

[annwyl_cariad]

Ifind that sexual harrassment meeting thing stupid and you should complain about that. Thats not acceptable.

I was tempted to, but part of me is afraid to find out that I'm wrong and that the urge to sleep with your advisor or your student really -is- that prevalent, and that telling people to be careful when deciding whether to engage in such relationships really -is- necessary. I do kind of want to request that they no longer use language like "we're all sexual beings" because, um, no we're not. But I'm not ready to be out in my workplace. *sigh* It just doesn't seem appropriate to bring up.

I had more of an ace night in a way? tehe

My friends decided to drag me clubbing... I am more of the let's go to bar where they don't play terribly obnoxious music and play pool or get the drunk sports watching freakazoids all rowdy while I obnoxiously belt out songs I know and down cheese fries. My lovely water bottle in tote as per usual, but I mean I like dancing... actually I love it (I jump up and down like a loon at concerts all the time) but I'm a total goof and make like silly faces and do the shopping cart and shit like that verses the massive crowd around me who are grinding and humping the air... so one ace moment down for the count.

On top of that. I swear like six minutes after we got there that damn 'my neck, my back, my kitty, and my crack' song came on and I loudly proclaimed something along the lines of 'Oh dear Merlin, any other song!' which drew some attention my way... whoops.

It got to the point where in my head I was making up my own lyrics or just zoning in on the beat and tuning out what was being said. I really just wanted to get up on the little stage thingy and be like... 'THIS IS NOT MUSIC YOU TWITS' and waltz out and down the street to the bar. (No offense to anyone who might actually like that kind of music, it just drives me loco hot coco)

Then, there was this dude who seriously looked like Adam off of Degrassi (not sure if any of you watch that or even know what it is)and I just like could not stop staring... like he was kissing his girlfriend at one point and I was paying no attention to her whatsoever because I was too fascinated by the fact that he looked like Adam... and yea. he was so adorable! ^_^

Then I fell down the stairs, but that's just an Annie thing... not an Ace thing.

So about starting Club Ace?

Getting hot = getting horny

Heat melts things, like ice.

Popsicle is a phallic reference.

These are song lyrics, not to be taken literally in any way. She's really just singing about how sexy she is. Don't read too far into it.

I think the issue is they havent helped the issue. Of harrassment. Maybe they need to figure out what it means. because if you or a student is being sexually harassed being 'a sexual being' doesn't mean you're going to give into it (willingly) and the only issue would be keeping it under the carpet. They're forgetting that they're possibly making sexual harassment and abuse easier to hide by saying such actions, thoughts or relations are fine. While the relationship with two willing people is fine with them they still need to set out rules on how to protect people from harassment. You don't need to come out at all for that because sexual or not the risk is there.

Oh, sorry if that wasn't clear. They definitely said that if someone was making advances on you and you didn't want that, you could report it. They actually spent a long time talking about the difference between "wanted" and "unwanted" sexual advances, which I kind of dozed off during because to me ALL sexual advances are unwanted, haha, and I wasn't going to be making any towards anyone else.

The workshop seemed to be primarily directed at telling us the consequences if we harassed someone, rather than what to do if we were harassed, and laying out the millions of rules for consensual relationships. But I was mainly kind of irritated by the implication that the person with more power in the relationship is necessarily going to be the harasser, and the implication that everyone in that room was going to have sexual feelings toward an inappropriate person at some point.

But regardless, they said if anyone was pressuring you, you could report them, and they'd get a warning. Do it again, and they're removed from the university. They said it mainly as a warning to us not to harass people, but from that we got the information that we could report people as well.

What really puts my back up about that song isn't the nonsensical popsicle-melty sexiness but the 'gurls'. The sodding 'gurls'. Gurls gurls gurls gurls gurls. Yes, all right, I know it's actually a Brian Wilson tribute of some description, but she's not going to be explaining that individually to every child who assumes it's OK to spell it that way because Katy Perry did, is she?

That still seems a little off to me. I've gone through a ton of sexual harassment meetings for various jobs, and I've never heard anything during one about how to handle consensual relationships or about us all being 'sexual beings'. They always just lay out the rules, give us a few examples of bad situations, and tell us who to contact if harassment happens. There seems to just be an assumption that everyone understands the difference between wanted and unwanted advances, which seems like a reasonable assumption to me.

That's just for office work however, but it would seem to me like a job working with students would be even more careful about these things. The fact that they seem to be okay with relationships providing you follow certain rules just boggles my mind.
