1. oh well. that's what i thought. i'm doing some online shopping for shoes, since it's getting increasingly hard to find any non-leather ones in the stores, and I came across a few cool-looking canvas sneakers. so i was hoping maybe they weren't all as bad as i remembered in that regards.

2. i still don't get it. Guess it's going to take some real-life experience on that one for it to click. Maybe i should at least buy a few condoms and see what they're like close-up.

3. i'm not sure which questions each of your answers go to... but i sort of get your drift. and i really should do some more research on the topic, so that i don't feel as iffy as i do now on it. i guess i was also wondering, if unprotected oral sex is dangerous, wouldn't sharing saliva also be so.. but if so, why don't i ever hear people talking about not kissing, in regards to safer sex (because i've never heard about ppl using protection for kissing)
