I was sitting around at work the other day and I realised that I have new versions of old Varsity co-workers at my new work.

-Natalia, the russian princess is now Carlos, the flamboyant hispanic diva.
-Larry, the large white fiercely hetero caveman who has seen it all is now Jarvis, the old short black gay man who has worked for the movie theatre for 25 years and has seen it all.
-Reed, the gayest straight man ever is now Siegfried, a straight man who like Steven Spielberg and F Gary Gray.
-Dave, the scared timid quiet manager is now Tim, the mysterious non-talkative and kinda creepy projectionist.
-Lucas, everyones favorite hard-working quiet nerd is now Nathan, hard-working quiet depressed poet country music nerd.
-Derek, the old manager, thAt used to lie about absolutely everything is now Ian W, who lies about absolutely everything (including replying "hell yeah! that shit is hilarious!" when asked if he had seen a movie called THE MONEY EATERS, with Chevy Chase, which just so happens, is not a real movie)

Community Service Project Reflection

The project I participated in was the “Safe Sex Awareness” table that was set up on campus. What we did was hand out free condoms and informative pamphlets. This all happened 9:00 am – 1:00pm on a Tuesday. The other people in my group were Adrianne, Ashish, and Jon W.
The main aspect of this project that I noticed was the public’s reaction to it. People were very embarrassed to be seen at our table and more specifically, grabbing condoms. I found this particularly interesting. I had the idea that at the age us college kids are at, that embarrassment over the fact that you have sex would not really exist. I’ve never really thought of it as something to feel self-conscious about, but apparently people are afraid to admit it. They are ashamed of the penis and/or vagina.
Our original plan was to have our table set up with a boom-box sitting on it. We wanted to play the music of the prog-rock band Yes. This was because we think it’s good for the whole romantic theme of the table and they have a song called “It could Happen to You”, which we found to be a good message to send out. We also like the music and it would have made sitting there more fun. We also were going to wear different colored jumpsuits and hats. To add to all of that, there was an idea brought up to hand out Hershey’s Kisses.
Trouble arose when we were informed that we could not have a boom-box because of noise restrictions, which I personally thought was absolute rubbish. So I was the only person in my group that ended up wearing a jumpsuit because everyone else thought that they only went along with the music. We still handed out Hershey’s Kisses, although they ended up melting because it got hot outside.
In the end, most of the condoms and a fair amount of pamphlets were handed out. We were worried that we weren’t going to have enough, but the insecurities of students on campus changed that. Maybe we would have given away more if we would have put our phone numbers on the backs of them? Haha, just kidding.
