Movie soundtrack meme. )

Love/hate meme. )

1. Think of the first word that comes to mind when you think of me.
2. Run a google image search on that word.
3. Reply to this entry & post one of the pictures from your search, but don't tell me what the word was.
4. Put this in your journal, so I can do the same.

(Just out of curiosity, am I the only one who's fucking pissed at the cultural assumption that once boys become aroused they suddenly become primitive assholes with no thoughts in their heads other than VAGINA VAGINA VAGINA, and thus don't have to do anything to make their partners comfortable in sexual situations? Please tell me I'm not.)
