I Enjoy Being A Girl — Page 38

I am also awake...my friend just called me freaking the **** out because she lost her virginity earlier (yes, on a Sunday night) and is now regretting it. This is comedy GOLD.

Aww, thanks.

My sleep schedule is all out of whack. I was up until 5 a.m. on Tuesday and I haven't readjusted from that yet.

Mine, too! I, for years, would get violently ill along with incapacitating, excruciating pain like I cannot describe. I can't go on the pill and pain medications on which I'd be able to function normally weren't doing it for me, so I've been giving Chinese medicine a try, and it's rather miraculous.

I had a dream about Daniel Radcliffe last night.

One thing I have learned--very slowly--is that your body changes. I know that a comment like that might elicit a "DUH!" from some of you, but I mean, as the years progress your body changes in drastic ways. For example, in college, my menstrual pains were so intense, I, too, would get violently ill and even passed out a couple of times! (I took nothing for the pain stronger than Excedrin back then. It didn't really help.)

Over time, it got somewhat better. Then I had babies and only started having "bad" periods every other month. That's when I finally found out that our ovaries alternate months.

Now that I'm getting "older," I get hot flashes, unbearable sinus pain and debilitating migraines right before my period. Once I actually get my period, I have abdominal pain for one or two days. Then, Poof! I'm fine. No head or abdomen pain.

I know this is tedious. But it's freaking 3:13 in the morning, ya know?

I'd been hoping I would get better as I got older. A lot of doctors suggested that I would, but I was actually getting worse. I'd be sick for like, four or five full days, and it was getting in the way of life. I'd miss class and school because I simply could not get out of bed. I finally had to think outside the box.

I should try to sleep. I have an unusually busy day tomorrow.

---

The two days before I get my period, I crave chocolate like crazy. Citrus, too. These are also things pregnant women crave.

Em, you will get better. When they say "older," they mean a long time from now. That's ANOTHER thing it took me decades to understand: medspeak! (Now I also know that they make up a lot as they go along!)

JAG2, I wonder if your friend lost her virginity at the exact time I was talking with the Virgin agent. We talked for 29 minutes. I hope your friend's experience lasted for at least that long!

Ok, why can girls be so bitchy to each other?
Me and my best friend are both in relationships right now, though she has been in her's a little bit longer, and last night we were talking about our guys. Well, I told her I was on the phone with my guy (this was over AIM) and she goes "ummm... yea... just wait til it's more than the phone and you truly care about the person." I was PISSED! She acts like her relationship means more then mine just because he BF lives 15 minuets away from her and I'm 3 hours away from mine!
Why do some girls let the claws come out when talk turns to guys? It's crazy!

*end rant*

Oh dear lord, this thread has me cracking up!

What the hell were you all doing up at 3 AM?

---

It's 8:05 AM where I'm at and it's time for me to get ready for school..argh!

WithoutlovewithoutU, that would piss me off too.

Hi everyone! I'm in kind of a rush. I woke up a little late to make a noon appt. on the upper east side. I used to be able to wake up and get out of the house in 20 minutes if need be. Now it takes a couple hours. The computer doesn't help!

See ya later! Have a great day everyone, it's sunny where you are, I hope!
