   Weekend Happenings
Managed to borrow/beg/steal/'liberate' copies of both Lolita and The Virgin Suicides, and am enjoying them with great gusto. Am beginning to suspect that I'm slightly more of a deviant that originally suspected.

Bought womens clothes yesterday; two dresses and skirts, (respectively) one strapless and one from Juicy. (Shock! Scandal!) Had to not only speak to salespeople, but also to admit to them that I had no concept of female sizings; as far as I am concerned, I am a boy's size fourteen. I then had my proportions estimated in three different colours, was told that I had 'a good figure for dresses' and was persuaded to agree to the purchase of said garments. My mother, completely oblivious to the inner torment caused me by this moral compromise, now claims to be looking for 'skirt opportunities', which almost included this morning's annual round of Coming of Ages. COAs are somewhat like Bar/Bat Mitzvahs or Confirmations in that the adolescent makes a commitment to their faith (in COA's case, that of Unitarian Universalism), although unlike the other ceremonies it isn't simply a recitation of dogma so much as it is (intended to be) a profession of personal faith. I had mine last year, which makes it even more dissappointing to see this year's class spouting the most inspid of cliches. And wandering about barefoot in the sanctuary, but that's considerably more tolerable for Unitarians.

I have the feeling that I've left at least five run-on sentences and the smothered segue into another paragraph in there, somewhere.
