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.

Weez, if that is an award you would treasure, it's yours.

I, too, am awake...because I fell asleep for several hours and woke up at 1:08 AM. Why? because I am experiencing that cyclical event that makes us all distinctly "girly." I've been taking pain meds all day, so they knocked me out for a while.

I had a weird dream about Arthur Laurents. (I asked him to write a letter of support for a grant proposal I was writing that was supposed to help save the lives of swimmers.) Then another one about the new show MINSKY'S and the BWW poster WithoutATrace. (I can't wait to tell him!)

So, now I'm here! Not that I'm "entertaining" either. (But YOU are, Em.)

BTW, JAG2, your friend lost her virginity earlier today and I was on the phone with Virgin earlier today. Now, how surreal is that!

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.

miss p., this belongs in that other thread about coincidences!

You have my sympathies about the "event"! That can be some of the worst pain in the world. Here's hoping your pain meds kick back in and you can get back to sleep!

And your dream...LOL!

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.

I'm awake. It's Monday, 12:02 AM here. Still rather early for me. I'm staying away from Alaskan Barley Wine Ale tonight, not that I regret the post I made last night. I actually learned something about America from that thread.

Ah well, time to change subjects.

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?

migraines are the worst. I don't often get them, but it literally takes a couple days before I feel normal again after a migraine. I think I've gone 2 years now without one. (Fingers crossed.)

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.

Luckily, I've never had them so bad they I've vomited or passed out. I have a few friends that deal with that every month, and I honestly can't imagine. Cramps can be painful, but nothing compared to that.

Migraines and sinus pain? That sounds like hell! Here's hoping that eases up for you...and that I never have to deal with it!

I've discovered the joys of the pill, and have completely eradicated my period. I'm liking it. I'm liking it a lot.

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!

All you night owls crack me up!! I honestly cannot stay awake past about 10:30 anymore. Probably because I have to get up with the dog every day at 6:00am come hell or high water...

I was chuckling wondering if any guys read this thread and if they just sit there mouth agape the entire time!!

And jag, I hope your friends first time was better than mine! What a letdown that was! Oh well, it only gets better from there!

Good morning to all!

edit: Who loses their virginity on a Sunday night anyway? lol

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!

"The two days before I get my period, I crave chocolate like crazy."


I must be pregnant or have my period 24/7 because I'm always craving chocolate.

And on the period subject, my cramps were horrid. I've bent over in excruciating pain not being able to move a muscle. After they found I had appendicitis (and got that removed), they found I had severe endometriosis. So, they put me on birth control so it could help with the cramps and having my period more regular. It helped...a little. But then, I begain to get blood clots so they took me off the birth control. I need to go back for another option soon. Especially, if the endometriosis gets worse, I may not be able to have kiddies

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!
