| Good grief. Its fantastic and wonderful and at the same time absolutely sucky what bodies do and how linked actions are. I think I have a bossy vagina who wants everything in the world to center its attention on her.
This all starts with the absence of a little (well, actually, normally a lotta) blood. I was supposed to have my period over finals week and a big, fat two day long migraine came in its place. Even though this shit has happened to me before (while on birth control pills as well), I forget my body has a history and tail spined into some serious stressin' out. In the meantime of stressing out (and ignoring the EPT test telling me I'm actually not pregnant) I get a lovely little bump on my chest, which I pay no attention to because I am stressing out about a potential bump else where. By this point, I've taken up re-reading CUNT and taking time to sit and think and try NOT to stress out. Anyway, that lovely little bump turns big and swollen and painful and obviously infected. Ew. So I go to my grumpy patronizing doctor and he gives a big ol bottle of Caflexin or some other big time antibiotic to take 4 times a day. The same day I go to my obgyn and get comfy with stirrups and blue robes(haa haa haa, impossible). My doctor is a tiny, timid Chinese woman who seems juxtaposed as an obgyn - maybe because the only ones I've been to have been loud, bossy, and slightly maternal. Anyway, she tells me that I can try not having a period (via not taking the little brown pills in the set) as a means to avoiding headaches. After re-reading CUNT and all the love your blood and your cycles whooplah, I don't know what to think. It seems like a day dream after so many years and years of pain but in such a spooky unnatural kind of way. Anyway, turns out I'm not pregnant and I have no diseases (which I already knew if I'd just had quit stressin' out). Anyway, I think I'm all cool until I get a handy dandy yeast infection. SIIIIIGH. the medical industry does not care about women. Why didn't my doctor say "drink lots and lots of water" and "eat plenty of yogurt"? Because the medical field is not interested in perventative medicine, thats why. I'm sure the company that makes monostat three or whatever is directly linked to one making the antibiotics which are killing all my bodily flora. they rack in the money for something that only happens to "female" bodied individuals. FUCK THEM! grrrrrr. Furthermore, I wake up today to find that I am suffering from either a cold or allergies. I've never had allergies. Sore throats and sniffles be damned.UHG.
So there is the rant about my body. arg. I could rant about the dipshit car insurance company that doesn't want to cover my medical bills too but I think I'd rather do that with a lawyer. | | comments: Leave a comment |
| Im done with school! Yay! the last month felt like sheer and utter madness. I'm so glad to be done! it will also be my last day of work on saturday...so I'm really done with a lot of stuff!I finally have free time and I don't know what to do with myself!
My neck is doing better but its feeling better slowly. My Chiropractor is happy that my back is not as tight because it means the curve of my neck is coming back! yay!
Panama in a month! Just bought myself some hiking boots!is it possible that I'm more excited about Panama than I was about Europe? I think so. I'm going to smother everyone with pictures of beautiful rainforests when I get back. | | comments: 1 comment or Leave a comment |
| Whiplash = stiffness and pain in my neck and back that feels like its killing me. I can't sit or stand for very long. I'm living off vicodin, naproxin, ice packs, hot baths, and a heating pad. I have to lie down constantly. I can't work. I can't go to school. I can't even ride in the stupid car. My chiropractor is trying to kill me with vicious cracking methods.
Fuck cars! Fuck them all to hell! | | comments: 6 comments or Leave a comment |

| I had a weird spring break.
First of all, my phone fell in a cup of water and died. Insurance got me a new one BUT i no longer have anyone's phone number. So if you're reading this CALL ME! ok? I'm sorry I havent called anybody but I had no phone!
I got into a rear ender and my neck hurts. Doctor says it whip lash (ARRRGH!) and if it continues, I need physical therapy. But I do have vicodin!
I am a klutz (as everyone knows) and I fell down, grabbed Ken and pulled him down on top of me and all that weight landed on one knee. Ouch. I have a bruise the size of my head. Anyway...it kept feeling worse and worse so I finally went and got it checked out. The doctor comes in, looks at it and says "I'm almost sure its broken." AHHHHHHH!!!! X-rays prove its not broken (thank you god) but I'm still relegated to crutches and no weight on it. Thank god I didn't break it. I'd have to do Lali's show in a wheelchair. LOL, THANK GOD! | | comments: 1 comment or Leave a comment |

| Name ten of life's simple pleasures that you like most, then pick five people to do the same. Try to be original and creative and not to use things that someone else has already used.
1. Turning your pillow over (so you can put your face on the cool side) on a hot summer night.
2. Big cups of hot peppermint tea with honey
3. Thinking you have to get up and go to class...only to realize its the weekend and you can sleep in!
4. toe socks and fuzzy slippers
5. The day your period stops--no more pads, sponges, tampons, cramps or leaks.
6. snuggling with someone (especially right before you fall asleep)
7. putting lip balm on dry lips
8. drinking lots of cool, fresh water after exercising. Or visiting europe. or after a night on the town.
9. singing loudly in your car with your best friend.
10. Jumping around and dancing wildly in your own or your friend's house for no good reason except for fun.
TAG!!!---ryan, bryan,leggs, A, and megs.
A totally gross #11 for ya! popping a zit!yuck! | | comments: Leave a comment |

| Im taking a break from writing my midterm.
Ok, this weekend was crazy--for these reasons;
1.Ken took my parents out to probably the fanciest steak house in San Franisco on Friday night. It was sweet and awkward.
2.The next night, Ken suprised me and picked me up from work. we drove over to his mother's house and I met his mom, his sister and her ADORABLE kids. I could have taken Sasha home with me because she was so cute.
3.Yesterday, Ken got a call from his mom telling him that he shouldn't date me because he's too old for me. This upset him. I'm suprised that this isn't happening from my parents.
4. I ask my mom if she wants to know how old Ken is and if she even cares--she says she doesn't care so long as he treats me well. She's more enthusiastic about Ken than Hitesh because she always felt that Hitesh didn't think I was good enough to introduce to his family. She makes a good point. I'm suprised she's not flipping out.
Is this weird or is it just me? Is it weird that we've only been dating for two months now and we're meeting parents? Is it weird that the older man's mother has more of a problem than the younger woman's parents? Is it weird that neither of these issues bother me that much...that it seems kind of natural? Is it just me?
Ok, back to bell hooks and Judith Butler | | comments: 2 comments or Leave a comment |
