Ok, so I go in the Pill to help with my awful, horrible 'times'. I'm about three weeks into it, and I START MY PERIOD before I get to the placebo ones. So I get the cramps, nausea, horrible sleepy allover crappy feeling anyway! So since my body is overpowering the medicine, does this mean I'll have TWO this month? Oh, no sir. That shall not happen...

JD that really sucks!

Spoiler:

How far away from the placebo pill were you? I myself was on the 21 day pill cycle (they just don't have the placebos) & never experienced early periods. But I did have cramps & all that all lovely crap while I was on it & it seemed even worse than before. I'm sorry for your pain *big hugs*

That doesn't look anything like my Ponstan. According to what I read your Ponstan's also way, way weaker. Not even the 500 version, which has about the same buzz as a couple of beer.

I'd have to ask my bro. He has access to the sh*t. Turns out the army is good for something.

JD, What is the name brand of the pills you are on? I was on one type at the end of last year (can't remember the name, but it was a new doctor and his recommendation) and the hormone dose was too high. The same thing that happened to you happened to me, plus I was really moody and bitchy (and it freaking sent me into mommy mode BAD). I went back on my normal brand (Mircette 28 day pack) which has a lower hormone dose. I feel good again. No mood swings...no cramps....short period...in other words...NORMAL.

blegh. I had a crappy day at work. my boss said I did such a good job getting my work done that she would give me some of everyone else's to do so that they could catch up. Reward by punishment. and all those lazy bums got to go home early....while I was still sitting there doing their work

[Swany]

Bleh! Prom sucked ASS! food was crap, music was crap, venue was crap. Choice of weekday was crap.

My feet hurt.

But Damn, I looked good, I was the only girl wearing trousers. The most popular girl in the year told me she wants my boobs and my hair...This was after me assuring her that big boobs are a curse. BTW, me in my outfit is going in the new pic thread.

That sucks, Katie. I'll never understand slackers! I just worked my a*s off today all the time keeping half an eye on the prat next to me who was surfing the internet for holiday destinations! So i can relate.

You should tell your boss that if you are going to be doing other people's work for them, you should get thier salaries added onto yours as well!

no worries, my prom sucked some balls too.
beautiful music, beautiful girl, beautiful venue and envenomed food resulting in food poisoning half past midnight and then a wicked hangover the next morning.

that seemed fun in retrospect, actually. but i wouldn't have touched the food.

They spiked the food? When we moved to England I went to an old-fashioned, all boys shool, so the closest thing we had to a prom was rugby matches which could get a little too touchy-feely.

Here's me. What a plonker. I just drove my car into a parked vehicle with a massive tow-bar.

The other car is fine but my back lights are gone and my registration plate is smashed.

What a plonker.

Aww jenna! So sorry to hear that! Is the owner of the other car going to make a big fuss about it? Hope you're insured....

Oh and Raphaelsgirl, your comment will most likely wind up in the "Chatter" thread...just so's ya know....

If it makes you feel any better, the day after I got my beginner's license, I plowed into a parked car while attempting to park with Ram Bam's new car & totalled the back passenger door. Like you, the other car was fine, but our car looked like crap

The other woman was really nice about it - she actually laughed because a few months she did the same thing to my sister's car (I was visiting my Mum & Dad and she is their neighbour) so it was quite good really.

That's really lucky actually. A few years ago a woman skipped a red light and wrote my car off. Then she denied it was her fault and took me to court for her 'no claims bonus'!

Fortunately the damage is minimal so I won't be claiming on my insurance. I'll just pay for the repairs.

It happens to so many people. It's my third accident!!

Thanks for the nice words and support, Ruko & Sassy.

[Swany]

Oh Jenna you are indeed a plonker. But at least its just minimal damage and youre OK.

Feh, I wasnt in the mood for posting yesterday. I was up till like 4AM with my little bro refusing to sleep. He had to get up at 5 for his bus leaving (to go to France) and didnt want to sleep in. I eventually got fed up and went to my own bed. That was after hours of trying to get him to sleep. He eventually went upstairs and I fell asleep on the couch for like 15 to 30 minutes and woke up ROASTING. Went up to go to bed and my wee bro was asleep on the top landing floor. Sent him downstairs and went to bed. M&D found him sleeping on the couch. He did wake me up before he left to give me a wee hug and a kiss though. Feh, little brothers! More throuble than theyre worth.

I've done that before, way back when I first got my licence I was driving my dads truck. It was down pouring that day so I was having a hard time seeing what was all around, so when I was backing up I hit my friends moms car.

I took off a bit of the plate on her car but did jack to my truck. She told me she wasent going to file insurance for the accident but a week later she ended up filing it any way.

I felt so ashamed for a long time but you kind of get over it, it takes awhile but damn is it embarassing for awhile.

[Machias Banshee]

Man... a lot has changed in two years.


I should probably start at the beginning. Well, more like the end.

Some probably noticed the hasty retreat I did a while back. Life at the time was really putting me under an enormous amount of pressure and I just kinda snapped...

The last year I spent in college was a horrible time. Having been in the same room for 4 years, I was suddenly uprooted and crammed into a female’s only dorm. This room was located in the icy depths of ‘hell’ – that’s the name of the floor. It never rose above 50*F, had no sunlight... Black mold made me so violently ill, I still can't function well in a dampened room now.

The last few months of school are honestly still a little blurry. There were days at a time where I had little to no sleep. I spent 70 hours at a time awake in front of the computer in the IT office several times within the two months I spent editing film. I nearly had a nervous breakdown when the computer I was using glitched (due to someone else using MY files for storage) and all the edited material was wiped out. I just about collapsed at my committee’s feet and begged them for mercy. Thankfully, they were able to get an extension for me, but all that work lost… I still look back on the final showing and all the trouble I went through and want to cry.

But Graduation day finally came. I regret not getting a video recording. The reaction to the song I sang was just so genuinely wonderful. When reality sank in that I would be leaving college (around 11pm when I was packing my stuff into boxes), I felt really mixed about it. On one hand, I was free from school, which was great! No homework, more free time… But on the other hand, I really had no idea what I was going to do.

Now my focus has shifted to applying for new jobs at the local newspaper. While proofreading isn't much, its at least a foot in the door.


Now as the year is settling down, I’ve looked back a lot and realized how much I’ve missed people. I never wanted things to happen the way they had. Stupid fights and nonsense. I felt like I just abandoned people, and I'd never want to do that..

I’ve grown such an attachment to this place and the people here (and many whom have moved on). I’ve really missed talking here with the ol’ gang and the new gang and the characters in-between. While I do not have internet (the reason I’ve been round so much this week is because I’ve been hanging out at my brother’s place), I really would like to keep in touch with folks here. I honestly don’t know when I’ll get internet at home… but I do want to try.

So... I guess this is kind of an 'I'm sorry" and a..I dunno...

[GK Punk]

I just had a joygasm seeing your user name. <3 you Machi. Missed you to death

[Cascadia]

We missed you for these past two years.

I better not get too cocky, it has been quite awhile since I have had a car accident. Since I have not had one in quite awhile, my insurance rates have decreased big-time.

I was suppose to graduate with my Master's degree tomorrow but it will not happen.

[Machias Banshee]

*hugs Michi/Gk/kittie/Alison/february/Grunger-sexpiallodocious* <3 you too, sweetie. It's been way too long..

My sympathies Sci. Freak, I can just imagine what youre going through. Hopefully that will get sorted out soon...

[Cascadia]

I am in a one-year teacher-prep program....all of my buddies are graduating tomorrow. As for me, I will have to wait until next year because I was unable to finish my student teaching--I got seriously sick and could not teach effectively. However, I will be done with all of my coursework in 5-6 weeks then all that I have left is my 2 student teaching experiences and my portfolio.

[April]

It's nice to see at least ONE familiar face from way back when.
It's been quite awhile! Welcome back, my love.
