where did she go…?
where has Thursday been?
(oh yes…)
well, trying to find thursday has probably been like trying to find Where’s Waldo at red and white striped shirt and pom-pom hat convention… everything is on repeat & there is nothing new to see
[& i think i should refrain from making further similes in this post...]
It’s not that i haven’t had anything to say on here, i have, oh, have i got stories for you, – i just got boggedy down by finals for the 18 credits hours i was taking in combination with working 20 hours a week.
Finals are ove: they were brutal, but i managed to finish them all & now that i’ve sufficently caught up on sleep I will catch you up on stuff.
I’m not pregnant. did i ever establish that? well i’m not. it’s awesome. it’s also really old news. (BTW You HAVE TO CHECK OUT What To Expect When Aborting! i mean seriously this girl is so right, theren’t aren’t enough blogs or sites out there about abortion, i’m not saying pro-abortion, but just… what this girl is doing. I appreciated it & even if i didn’t agree with everything she said I found a lot of it insightful, funny as hell, and what i needed. you should start at the beginning here.)
… but this leads to newer news! After this (yes, slightly unnecessary freak out) I went to my new fabulous doctor & recieved what i would call a boutiful medical coricopia of after discussing my issues with being a recovering anorexic and being on depression meds and not wanting something that will fuck with my appetite/make me gain or lose weight, or mess with my hormones she/we decided to try the NuvaRing! (why does that get an exclamination point, i don’t know….. oh yes! exclamation for the not getting pregnant in th furture!)
& now i am going to digress into Why I Like The NuvaRing!
-i don’t have to remember to take a pill everyday!
& i haven’t had any problems with it really (yes the whole ‘Vaginally inserted’ part was kind of weird, but i highly prefer that once a month, over a pill a day… i’ll update, because i know it’s always helpful to find different reactions to meds.
& now bringing you up to date on the men in & OUT of my life:
-the 19 yr: nothing ever occured again/he’s kind of a douche
-latin platonic dancing buddy: & i are just platonic again (…can you ever just go back to platonic?)
-Subway boy: went to Colorado & haven’t heard from him since
-Raw Honey: sadly haven’t seen since the week after the election
-Ginger Pilsen: was a mother-fucking-asshole supreme. we dated for a month and then the morning after i had sex with him i found out he didn’t vote. i got very pissed, he got pissed that i got pissed… saw each other once more (why i don’t really know) on a trip/double date to the brookefield zoo- he ruined my day & acted like a sullen fucking idiotic child & was an overall shit. I chewed him out for this. I wish i could have really chewed him out more in retrospect. I hope i never get to see him again, unless i can yell at him in public.
-now. i don’t know what to call the boy i’m with right now, i don’t know if i even really want to write about him, because ge doesn’t just feel like a social experiment, i seriously care for this one; deeply. I…
He was the boy who came over for Thanksgiving & didn’t leave for 3 days in what resulted in THE GREAT SPOON-A-THON OF ’08. it was amazing we stayed in my bed & spooned and cuddled & watched movies …& didn’t even kiss.
he’s pretty splendid & i know there are things between us that are huge points of divergence and places where we will have problems in the future, but i just have so much fun with him!
I swear i will stop gushing… here while i take a minute you can go watch a video of one of my fav songs of ’95.
yeah. he just came over. sigh.
i’ll write more later, esp on Thanksgiving & the insane cooking i undertook (there were four pies!)
ah yes, welcome to hormonal birth control. have you had the big queasy yet, or are you one of those lucky not sensitive to it ones? Cause I pretty much wanted to puke for the whole first month. BIG fun. I would have been way into not having to take a pill every day, but NuvaRing actually delivers a lot more estrogen than most pills, because it is continuous, and the extra estrogen is what triggers my migraines. (well, that, and then the absence of that estrogen when I go off it for the placebo week–pure hell, let me tell you. completely continuous back to back puking migraines for the whole six days. And then the boy and I broke up. Oh yes, october was AWESOME.) So anyhow, now I’m on the three months on and three months off, only I’m currently cheating and going four months on, since the internet says it’s ok, and I can’t deal with — 1. a period 2. nonstop migraines and 3. my mother — all at the same time. So far, so good, although when I’m particularly tired and paranoid, I can totally talk myself into faux preggo panic, what with the whole no period part. But it’s worth it for the missing out on the puking part. Back to my usual two migraine a month schedule. Can we talk about how much this family tendency for migraines in your twenties SUCKS? How did my sister miss this one? SO UNFAIR.
