menstrualhutI just joined this community and I thought I'd share my own period experiences. I've taken a competive stance with my period.
the ladies of my apartment track our periods every month on the "rag-o-meter" which has just been revamped for the new school year... It used to be created from yellow posterboard and cardboard, however it has come to its conclusion and we've upgraded to a sleek dry erase board I've dubbed "v2.0". We each have icons representing our day one. Our cast of icons: colleen's doplhin, knuck's christmas stocking, kaity's jesus fish, and my dancing pineapple have all been given magnetic backs as well. It truly is a thing of beauty... born of blood and cramps.
This October, I have once again claimed my prize as the "menstrual trendsetter" of the apartment. The trendsetter is the first girl to get her period in the month... and therefore sets the trend and rules over the periods of the rest of the roommates. But alas... the title has lost its luster for me... but I keep it around partly because I win it every month, and because caroline desperately wants to win it, but can't. That's just to show you there's always just a little bit of bitch in everything I do.
The problem with my winning this month is I'm like 5 days early, which is kinda odd. Guys are probably unfamiliar with the whole female cycle thing, all they want to know is at what point they can stick it back in again... but let me educate you a bit. I'm a 31 day girl... and this whole 26 day thing is a real outlier in my excel spreadsheet. It's almost an entire rag-length early.
I wonder if it has anything to do with that ghoul penny I found in my undies a couple days ago. I've got the period from beyond the grave. Maybe that cancerous dog that died is giving me periods as a sign that she truly is ok, and all dogs do indeed go to heaven? Who knows?
at least i know that the boob pain i've been having recently was just a marvelous little part of the premenstrual syndrome of life... and not growing pains or a sign of a storm a'brewing.

Date: 2005-01-31 08:44 pm (UTC)you mean you make them stop? that's no fun! The only thing I won't let my boy do when I'm bleeding is go down on me. And he's not all that psyched to anyway so it tends to be not an issue.
