Convocation Mall Connection

 I saw a MAN  and I am a WOMAN 

When: July 31, 2013

Where: Convocation Mall

I saw you sitting on a bench outside the library, you were wearing a red jacket and I think I saw you smile at me. I saw you later in the hallways of the Quadrangle, and the way you looked at me when I asked you out on a date made me think you might have been interested in me. Also you said ‘yes’ and gave me your contact information, and we’ve since seen each other romantically several times.

West Mall Hottie

I saw a WOMAN  and I am a MAN

When: September 18, 2013

Where: West Mall

You: an adorable brunette with blue eyes and a green jacket sitting outside my office. Me: your boyfriend of five years. You seemed to be waiting to talk to me or something. That’s probably because I asked you to come by and meet me for lunch.

I wasn’t left wondering what could’ve been!

I saw a MAN and I am a MAN

When: September 11, 2013

Where: Renaissance Cafe

Hey. We exchanged a couple of glances while drinking coffee but I was too nervous to go over and talk to you. You left before I worked up the courage but my friend caught up to you and introduced us. We went out together to a movie, but found out we weren’t really compatible with each other and then mutually decided we shouldn’t pursue the relationship any further. That was a good decision.

You look great in that wedding ring I gave you!

I saw a  WOMAN and I am a MAN

When: October 14, 2003

Where: AQ Pond 

I don’t know if you really remember this but we were both in the AQ at the same time once, only the two of us. I was the guy with the beard and the british accent who proposed marriage to you after several years of dating? That was ten years ago and now we live together with our two children and dog, Mr. Grundy. On second thought, I think you probably do remember this.

I love you Linksys12

I saw a   and I am a

When: September 20, 2013

Where: The Townhouses

I was in my room trying to connect to the internet on my laptop but we don’t have our own wi-fi yet. I was desperately trying to remember the name of the lead sing for Jethro Tull when I saw you suddenly appear in front of me. Unfortunately just as soon as you had appeared you vanished, then I moved my computer a little to the right and you were back. Turns out it was Ian Roberts! Thanks, we had a real connection.

What does it mean when doctors ask “are you sexually active?”

By: Noeka Nimmervoll, Staff Writer Content warning: References of sexual activities.  The wrinkling of paper underneath you as you sit atop the patient’s table. A cold stethoscope against your skin. The question, “are you sexually active?” These are all part of a regular doctor’s appointment, but one can be exclusionary if it’s being asked by someone who has a narrow and heteronormative understanding of sex. In the wide spectrum of human intimacy and relationships, what counts as sexually active? It seems the definition is different for everyone, and this reality is not reflected in a doctor’s checklist. For health-care to be truly inclusive, doctors should be more specific about what they mean when they ask, “are you sexually active?” Doctors ask about sexual activity ultimately with the...
