period came...

was supposed to be back home yesterday night but somehow managed to walk through the doors at about 3pm today...............for some reason i was really really tired as well as really really bloated, and couldn't figure out why (maybe i ate too much at the wedding), so i did wot anyone would do............ sleep it off.................

woke up just now (11.46pm) and realised why i was tired and bloated (and moody and emotional and hungry)........ yes, thats correct, it was that time of the month, i was menstrating............. woohooo!!!

the idea of blood coming out of you must be a disturbing sight but periods are good news to me............ (okay they are annoying because you need to change sanitary towels every three hours, and when you are out and about there is never a toilet around, and also there is the chance that your best pair of white jeans will be ruined ( do ppl still have white jeans???)and also it affects your body in different ways be it cramps or water retention or cravings) BUT the good thing is, it means that you can still bear children if you want (providing you have good production of eggs) (also it means you can eat an extra 200calories per day or in my interpretation more bananas!!! woohoo) ...................yes i know its a stupid thought but thats the best i can do right now.......... "the lining of my womb has reached the stage where it needs to be rid of, so that a new layer can form over the nx month ready for that precious egg to be made from my ovaries where it will gently glide down my filopian tube and nessle into my womb, the place where life begins" ............. and for heaven sakes you can't be freaked out !!! ............... you leanrt all this when you were 10/11 (remember that "girls talk" we had where we all got free panty liners and 2inch thick towels and remember rushing off to the toilets to 'try' them out even though there was nothing to soak up (apart from piss but tena pads are much better for that job) ....... my point exactly, if you are 10/11 then its 'ewwww' but now we are older (i didn't say mature) its something that you don't have to be embarassed about.................i'm not or else you wouldn't be reading it.......................hahahaha

don't read on if you don't want to know the details.......

i still remember when i first got my period.....i was scared........there was blood where there should not be blood and in the panic i threw my underwear away and used wodds of toilet paper for padding ( at the time i was at home and didn't know where to get towels from okay)................

i didn't want to tell mooma because i was embarassed (yes i can feel shame sometimes, rarely though) but then she found my knickers in the bin (how the hell do mothers do that!!! its like a sixth sense radar thing they have!!!) and instead of me telling her, she was the one that confronted me (thank god someone broke the ice)...................that was a relief because if she didn't explain to me about towels and where to get them, then i probably would still be using bog roll between my legs!!!! (joke joke just ignore me).............

my first experience of shopping for towels was an 'experience' and made me regret being a girl who had the burden of dealing with this every month, back then i didn't really understand the art of towel buying..............supermarkets are wonderful places that give you variety and in supermarkets you have alot of choice, especially when it comes to towels.........you had different lengths ranging from 'normal', 'super' to 'night-time' and then you had different thickness that were '4mm', or '2mm' or one inch thick??? just to add to my ever increasing wish to be a boy at that point you had towels that had 'wings' and were 'cotton soft' or had little 'freshening tissues'???........ now really, when you first have your period all that made no sense and didn't matter to me, i just needed something for protection of my jeans!!!................. in the end, i did wot most ppl would do, buy one of everything and in all the different brands such as 'always' or 'bodyform' or 'kotex' or shop-own-brands...............mission accomplised!!!

wings on towels are great inventions, they keep the thing in place and helps against leakages......... i wish i knew about that when i started out or i wouldn't have had to throw away so many pretty frilly knickers or jeans (blood stains and even vanish won't make it vanish!!!)..................( i realise this blog is gross but i can't stop writng and no one reads anyway so that makes it okay)............. not only did i had to throw away items of garment but i had to get a new mattress too (i was such a troublesome daughter!!!) ............. mooma was trying to explain to me that you need like extra long towels when you sleep and i didn't really understand so just used a 'normal' one...............i didn't know this at the time but when you lie down gravity can affect the body in different ways................i found that out the hard way................. in the morning it looked as if a massacre had taken place in my bed................ being really clever, i thought if i just put the bed sheet in the washing machine and try to sponge-down the mattress, then i would be fine and no one would need to know (as you can tell i was an average teenager, 'never admit to things just try to cover it up')............... of course it didn't work!!! like i said before, "mums" have this amazing sixth sense and mooma sort of found out........... by catching me in the act!!! she was amused to say the least and the next day she had to get a new mattress as well as a waterproof sheet, which she advised to use under the bed sheet, when it was that time of the month (really i don't know wot i would have done without her ) ............

mooma was so helpful through my first few periods, i still recall the time i was in a lesson at school and didn't have any towels on me and instead on going to the school nurse or buying some, i actually called her up and asked for help............... the nex thing i knew, the school secretary came into my lesson to take me out because mooma was in the office with a bag of towels for me........... (like i said, i was not a deep thinker back then!!!)...................thank you mooma!!!

and that there, ladies and gentlemen of the internet world, is my lovely story of the first step to womanhood..............i am very certain that no one wants to know and have no idea why i didn't just delete this blog..............i guess i am just stubborn, if i set out to write something then i will (that added with the fact that i am feeling very emothional and in a shaing mood)......... so enjoy for now because i may delete it later when i come back to read my blog and think WTF am i writing!!!

(on and thank you for the correction of 'trott', i was supposed to write 'jag ar trott' not 'tryck')
