[cuzgoatsrkool.livejournal.com]

i mentioned one little thing about periods and my dad freaked out told me to stop talking about it and left the room screaming "LALALALALALALALALALALALALALALALALALALALALALALALALA"..

what a geek..

i started a new pack of pills today...two days early..next month im going to skip one sugar pill so i'll be back on the right day (match up with the package)...yep..exciting i know...

oh a funny thing..i was saying to my brother, "a lot can come out like when you're walking around...in the mall or whatever..and it's almost like you're peeing a little but you can't stop it"
and he's like "well i'll have to see when your ears are red to show your embarassed so i know when it's happening"
me: "uh..brad...i dont get embarrassed about it...it happens every month..im used to it..in fact..it could be happening right now and you wouldnt know it"
him: "yeah right!!"

lol..what a weiner..

It's so weird that we are EXPECTED to be embarrassed about it...I mean, you can see it in the ads and on the boxes..."So discreet, no one will ever know!" and crap like that implies that we should be ashamed or some shit like that. It's not like we can help it, silly. :) I'm glad you have a healthy attitude toward it. It's always nice to hear.

lol...i dont see how we can get embarrassed...lol i went to visit my boyfriend yesterday and as soon as i walked in the door i slapped a pad on his table and said i was raggin' and i'd need it later lol...my dad is a freak i think...lol..i always talk about it to my boyfriend but if my dad hears even the tiniest thing about it, he freaks out..i can't even say "birth control pill" without him freaking.

I used to be totally embarrassed about it...but I left that behind in junior high, about the same time I got over being embarrassed about hairy legs and not wearing makeup and other stupid stuff like that. :) I'm glad I'm over it, but at the same time, why are so many things designed to hide what we really are? Why are women not good enough the way we are naturally, but men ARE? Blah.

Oops...got off on a bit of a rant there. Sorry. ;P

lol...i rarely ever shave my legs anymore..i used to every single day because...well it was my "routine"...and i HAVE to follow the "routine" but then i had a bet not to for as long as i could and then i loved it so much i just barely ever shave them...im not a makeup person...i wear black eyeliner usually..thats it.. once in a while..blue moon, might have some eyeshadow..and lip tint stuff..not lipstick..heh..what a loser
ohh i just bought the book "cunt"
lol...so this rant fits perfect with it

Oooh, I will switch tracks entirely then to RAVE about Cunt. It's such a good book! I lent it to all my friends and it's just about falling apart now from all the reading. :) I read it again every time I start feeling icky, and it works WONDERS.

haha i haven't started it but i will tonight!! have you read the vagina monologues???? i read that and then everyone told me i had to read cunt

[yruugrrl.livejournal.com]

I got the DVD for Vagina Monologues because the book was checked out of the library ALL THE TIME. :) It was also good, but I think Cunt is better. I bet you'll like it. :)

I think many males have been brought up in households where it was never mentioned - or if they found out by accident then it was something men shouldn't know about. Hanger on from victorian values where females didn't have legs - in fact piano's didn't have legs - they had limbs and their 'limbs' were covered in little dresses.

I know my Husband is still getting used to it - doesn't like too gory details but is now happy to buy tampons etc. and does ask how I am doing - it was never mentioned by his mom.

Hey, my mother thought she was dying the first time as her mother had never told her about periods - despite the fact Grandma was a nurse - and was HORRIBLY embarassed about it. Something she never really forgave her mother for!

yeah my mother didn't know what was happening when she got hers, and she was at camp! i don't think my dad ever buys the pads or anything...but my boyfriend already asked what kind he should buy me for next year (when we live together)...but he was freaked out when i talked about it at first...and then he realized that i talk about everything and don't think it'sa big deal...
maybe when my dad is old and has lost his hearing, i'll sit and tell him details about my period hehe....he'll never know!
