"My Angry Vagina"

[buckettgirl]

This is the title of one of the monologues from "The Vagina Monologues" by Eve Ensler
If you are a woman and have not had the opportunity to see this play, you must see it whenever you have the opportunity.

I was able to attend this at my local university last weekend. It is perhaps one of the most profound performances I have seen. It truly touched me.
Btw, we had 3 protesters who stood outside with pictures of Jesus.... They were all elderly women... lol
This is how I feel today. These excerpts from this monologue sums it up:

"My vagina's angry. It is. It's pissed off. My vagina's furious and it needs to talk. It needs to talk about all this shit. It needs to talk to you. I mean what's the deal — an army of people out there thinking up ways to torture my poor-ass, gentle loving vagina. Spending their days constructing psycho products, and nasty ideas to undermine my pussy. Vagina Motherfuckers."

"Vagina's supposed to be loose and wide, not held together. That's why girdles are so bad. We need to move and spread and talk and talk. Vaginas need comfort. Make something like that. Something to give them pleasure. No, of course they won't do that. Hate to see a woman having pleasure, particularly sexual pleasure. I mean make a nice pair of soft cotton underwear with a French tickler built in. Women would be coming all day long, coming in the supermarket, coming on the subway, coming happy vaginas. They wouldn't be able to stand it. Seeing all those energized, not taking shit, hot happy vaginas.

If my vagina could talk it would talk about itself like me, it would talk about other vaginas, it would do vagina impressions."

"My vagina helped release a giant baby. It thought it would be doing more of that. It's not. Now, it wants to travel, doesn't want a lot of company. It wants to read and know things and get out more. It wants sex. It loves sex. It wants to go deeper. It's hungry for depth. It wants kindness. It wants change. It wants silence and freedom and gentle kisses and warm liquids and deep touch. It wants chocolate and trust and beauty. It wants to scream. It wants to stop being angry. It wants to come. It wants to want. It wants. My vagina, my vagina. Well...It wants everything."

3. What does Jesus look like?

Did someone do a life portrait that lives in the Vatican repository? Image from the shroud of Turin? A grilled cheese sandwich? How could anyone presume to know what Jesus looked like?

Didn't know he played keyboards, did you?
