It's an honour just to be nominated

OMG, this is my 999th lj-post. Wow. What better way to celebrate than with a good ol' bitch fest about female troubles? \o/

I'm so fucking tired of it, people. Granted: the hormones of hell have given me a break on the pms-issues for the last two months. Besides best efforts of the Boobs of Doom, those days have been smooth sailing compared to the past years. But the period-periods? Have been exhausting. The craving for weird food I can deal with, sort of. But the new way my body aches the day before/the first day of the bloody mess sucks hard. My joints hurt and I feel like I'm a hundred years old. Usually I stay up way beyond midnight, but on those days I can't even make it past ten o'clock. It seriously messes up my sleep-rhythm and I have weird dreams at times where I'm usually awake. Hrmpf.
ETA: I forgot about the backpain. Hello. And how I'm so freaking cold I need to wear socks to bed. In the summer. Another hrmpf.

On a related subject; was confronted with the baby-issue again on two separate occasions. Not in a bad way, but still; like I'm not reminded of the possibility every month. I'm nearly forty years old, a semi virgin and very much single and celibate. I don't think it's gonna happen, mkay? Even if I'm very curious about the options of my body and what it would be like to be pregnant.

*blinks*

Well, how's that for a special post? Hope you enjoyed that, if not: know that I feel better ;)

Now whatever will I do for that extra special next post? Watch this space!

just a comment on the baby issue... don't really know what I shall say, but my first thoughts were that getting a baby isn't 'everything there is to life'. Honestly. You know I love my baby, right? But even after haven gotten a kid, I am still no 'kid-person'. Most of the time I think it's a duty, and I don't have that "I wanna do all for my kid, and my kid makes my life so frikkin' happy"
yes, I love her, and no I wouldn't be without her - because SHE IS HERE, and now that I know her, I wouldn't be without her. But if I hadn't gotten pregnant, so that she never existed, I am not so sure my life would be that much worse. And I probably go to hell to say this..... because mom's aren't supposed to say that.
But bottom line.... not everyone is thet "mom type" and it doesn't change just because you get a kid. And if you haven't been a typical "mom type" up to now, I don't think you would be even if you got a kid... So why not just make the most out not having that responsibility?


I am very unsure now if this was the right thing to say or not.... I just... I always get so annoyd when ppl 'nag' ppl about when they'll have kids... (even though you said it was not in a bad way).

So - I'm gonna step down from the soap box now.

Don't worry about it; it's not a touchy subject, so I appreciate your comment;) Good for you not taking it for granted and admitting it's not always bliss.

I'm very happy with my life, which doesn't mean I don't ever think about how it could have been. But on the other hand; it couldn't have been any different, because this is who I am and how it is. Sometimes that's hard for other people to understand or accept, because I don't fit in the expected pattern of coupling or regret about being single.

:-) I really have a lot to say, but I don't seem to get the words out right today.
Just - YAY for you! I admire you so much! And if there is one thing I've learned through therapy it's being true to yourself about who you are and what you want... and you do that! I need to learn from you!

I don't suppose being single is really all that critical to the baby process...lots of women go it alone. It wouldn't be easy, but sadly many fathers don't contribute much more than the sperm anyway. (I really don't mean that to sound bitter...but society really gives men lots of excuses for not being full participants in the process.) If it's something you decide you want, go for it.

I don't really consider it an option to get pregnant without a partner. It sure as hell wouldn't be healthy for my child. Not that I think I couldn't do it alone nor do I want to suggest it's wrong for a child to grow up with a single parent, but I really think it's better for the world if I don't raise a child by myself. I have such a dislike of people I wouldn't want to affect an innocent soul with my disappointment in the human race. Since I don't see myself with a partner I doubt there will ever be a possibility for me to get pregnant.

I don't mean for it to sound harsh or bitter, I'm truely not unhappy about the subject. And contrary to popular belief I don't hate children, it's because I care so much that I ended up not having them;)

Then I'm glad you're that self-aware. Not many are...or would think of the interests of the child above their own. I'm proud of you!

Almost there, almost there!! *balloons*

Ah, yes... that time of the month. Don't we all love it. Not. My body's been rebelling and doing weird stuff right before it's time for a few months now. Last time? My skin turned super super sensitive on some places. So sensitive wearing my clothes actually hurt. I mean, wth?

Babies... Especially with my new job, I have to admit it's been on my mind a lot. For some reason, I've always thought, even as a child, I'd have kids some day. But I would definitely want to do it with someone else on my side. For now, I get to 'play' with other people's kids. :'3

I will start preparing for the party right after I finished commenting:)

I've been dealing with pms and period stuff ever since the damn thing started. I stopped counting the years, but it's been a loooooong time. I heard rumours there are women who don't have any bother at all. Bitches.

Your problem sounds horrid, hope you manage to find a way to deal. (Lie in bed naked and don't move? Doesn't sound like much of a plan. Maybe you can listen to podfic to feel better?)

Ahw yes, I can imagine being around kids makes you think about the issue;) So the job is a great opportunity to figure out what you want from life in more ways than one! (Once again: it's so awesome you are enjoying it!)
