ladies,

those of you who are familiar with this seasonique stuff [or those who aren't - it's a birth control pill with the goal of decreasing your period to happening 4 times a year] how comfortable are you with the idea of holding that stuff inside you for 2 months longer than you're suppose to? to me i hear, "why poop once or twice a day when you could

tv is wack

[lodidodi]

i have a friend who took seasonique for a few months, and she was all about punching walls. not bleeding on a regular basis made her crazier than regular birth control did. punched a few walls, as i recall....

my tv is sitting next to me on a little table still unplugged. yaaay for no tv... though I bet it would cure some of this boredom.

wow. that sounds totally worth having less periods a year. is this one of those, 'i have a friend... who is actually me' things? i won't tell anyone, i promise :x

the only thing i'd prefer to have the tv plugged into is a dvd player. and probably an electrical outlet if you want to be technical. how are you bored? we should do something about that?

[sleepwalks]

being someone that's bleeding all over myself as we speak, and on sarafem (otherwise known as prozac) for pms and a retarded amount of naproxen for pain right now, HELL YES to not having a period for months. HELL YES.

does it work that way? doesn't it thin out your endometrial lining to the point where you don't have to have a period for months? so technically you don't have all that shit inside you.

that being said, fuck alllll that. periods are a pain in the ass, but they're a beautiful thing. nature's own pregnancy test. most girls i know would freak out without having to deal with this shit every month.

p.s. can i borrow your penis

Oh god I used to play with mercury all the time too. My dad used to fix and make watches and his profession, and you need murcury for that. He had an entire peanut butter jar full. It was incredible. I played with it all the time.

[enemyofthesunn]

wow. that's a lot of mercury. i wonder if you can still get it as easily these days... my dad had a little 6 oz bottle, i have no idea why he had it, but my sister and i would always play with it because of it's ..awesomeness :D

[dystropia]

the only reason I think seasonique is useful is in cases you really can't have your period, ie when you get a boob job and you can't have yourself bleeding, 'cause your boobs will get biiiigger and that's bad for surgery.
Or in most cases involving surgery. But I don't know if seasonique has immediate results.

Other than that, I think that menstruation helps the human body to get rid of all the crap (!) & no one should do anything to stop it, even if the pain on those days is too much to take.

hm. interesting topic.

anyway, yeah, don't watch tv, it's evil.

[enemyofthesunn]

i agree, let the body do what it needs to. i suppose if you're going to be getting a boob job you wouldn't be opposed to changing your body, including how often your period is.

television is pretty much evil, i agree. i wish i could get a cable setup that as just discovery and national geographic channels without commercials.

[labyrinthyne]

maybe it's because i come from a feminist, hippie-ish upbringing, but mostly it just makes me sad that so many girls (and the team of scientists, many of whom were undoubtedly male, who helped to develop the seasonique stuff) are taught to hate or to be embarrassed about how their bodies work. if there wasn't such a stigma about it (and there absolutely is - think about how many people feel uncomfortable talking about menstruation as compared to how many people feel uncomfortable talking about, i don't know, male ejaculation), and if women's bodies were discussed with the same openness as male bodies (among people in general, not just as "girl talk"), i don't think there would be so strong a desire to cheat nature this way. or any other dangerous way women alter their bodies.

[enemyofthesunn]

anything else i could say would just be headed toward masturbatory.
so i'll just remind you of the fact that you are awesome.
