I'm going to take a moment to enjoy yours too... ;)
Hee, you should have seen what the boys at our school got (I cannot look at those pole kitchen roll holders without sniggering even now) What is it with all-girls schools and avoiding dealing with sex and female empowerment? The one place that should be a breeding ground for feminism, all girls together, aren't girls great stuff and they all seem to be just the opposite. Figuring out sexuality at school is pretty horrendous at school without an environment where acknowledging it is taboo. The perception of masturbation is ridiculously and unnecessarily phallo-centric (http://xkcd.com/194/). As though female sexuality cannot possibly be constructed on its own grounds for its own sake. It's not all about 'filling a lack' women aren't incomplete. Masturbation is about pleasure pure and simple, sex should be about intimacy and shared pleasure, not some mechanical tab A into slot B. Penis' (flesh or artificial) have their place but they're not the be all and end all of female sexual pleasures.
People in general are most definitely hot. That's generally my standard explanation to people going 'but why?' at the bi thing. Forget the whole homogenous plastic 'beauty' in magazines, quirks are half the pleasure in assessing beauty. Diets should be about replacing processed food with fresh not starving yourself. *kicks media and fashion industries*
And, seeing as this comment is already epic, I'm going to provide another link because I found this one while I was looking for the above...I'm going to be a lighthouse keeper (http://xkcd.com/59/) when the floods roll back...Here's to being the girl in the tower, rescuing people...
