Our School Chaplain is Awesome.
So, today our ticket-selling table was in the Loyola Colonnade (or, as ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
castusalbuscor calls it, mini-Lebanon), and it was close to the washrooms, which means it was close to the water fountain, which is right in front of the SMU Chaplaincy.
I've met the SMU Chaplain a couple of times before; once to talk to him about the possibility of the Drama Society working with the Chaplaincy in performing a few skits related to some theological discussion he was having (it panned out, but I gave him Dr Chorney's contact... he asked if anybody would like to read any poetry that dealt with religious points of discussion, and Dr. Chorney's expertise is in the 16th and 17th centuries' poetry and prose, some of which have some very strong theological points). He's a great friendly guy, very open, very liberal-minded man... he's righteous without being self-righteous.
Anyway, I dropped in to the SMU Chaplaincy to visit another friend, and we got to talking about the Vagina Monologues, which he totally should come to, and there was another girl there who also wanted to go, and wanted her boyfriend to take her. The Chaplain, Dan, came out and overheard us talking, and he joined in the discussion, encouraging my male friend to go to the Monologues, too, and that he was looking forward to seeing them.
We then proceeded to have a very frank, open discussion on the following topics: women's menstrual cycles (how it keeps women grounded, and men DO have cycles but since they don't bleed once a month, they don't notice it), birth control (pros and cons, how some women just don't want to muck with their hormones), abortion (we were a bit mixed on this; Dan believes it should be available and of course in life at conception, but we all disapprove of late-term abortions and think counseling should be available too), whether or not men and women are really wired differently (Dan thinks so, I asked him to give men a bit more credit than to just say that men 'just don't think about stuff').
But basically, I left the chaplaincy to return to my table, and they were still going on in the vein I had started just talking about the Monologues.
Stuff like this makes me generally psyched to be doing the VagiMons.
On a different note, there were these two girls who came to check out our table... one girl had to be dragged over, actually, and when she realized we were selling CHOCOLATES IN THE SHAPE OF VAGINAS! she had this silly "EEEEE" reaction which made me, my table co-worker and her friend laugh. I hope she comes out to the Monologues. She'd probably still be squicky about the whole thing, but hey.
