So, warning, I've got my period.

And I know some people find that a gross and/or disgusting subject. I don't exactly get it. Firstly, it's blood, it's not more or less disgusting than a nosebleed or a cut on the finger. Secondly, despite what some people think, it's no more disgusting when people know about it (it leaked) than when it didn't. That doesn't refer to me, actually, but a recent post in a certain comm I read. No, not childfree this time. Third, I assume that everybody reading my journal knows that the vast majority of adult, pre-menopausal women get their periods. So if you know I have it, big deal, it's nothing you didn't know before. _{Of course, this coming from a person who calls all such equipment "you-knows" is pretty rich, I know, I know.}

However, because some people have issues with natural functions and the body have a higher ick factor than I do, the rest of this post is ( cutted for your convenience )

The woman, called Kate, is in her 40s and suffers from one of the most severe forms of autism, Asperger's Syndrome.

Um, what? I will NOT post the link, not until I get an explanation of this sentence. I doubt their accuracy anyway.

Okay, seriously.

Do any of my female friends NOT have their period? Because the odds of this coinkydink of blood week should be slim, right?

You know what? I'm pissed.

Anyone who has read my lookie should know I have a BIG BOLD DISCLAIMER up about how blah blah blah autistic blah blah blah rudeness blah blah blah shut the fuck up. ( Read more... )

So, now I've got the longass disclaimer, and I hate it. Makes me look like a whiny snot. Obviously, I need to find a way to tread that thin line between "this explains what happened" and "I'm making excuses"

Help?

Parents who read their children to sleep with Dr. Seuss might be surprised to learn that he never lost his interest in risque material. He was famous for putting a phony page in his manuscripts to make sure his editors were paying attention. In his book of the alphabet he inserted a page for the letter X of a large-breasted woman and the text: "Big X, little X, XXX, some day, kiddies, you will learn about sex."

*gigglesnorts* I just got the boardbook version of that for Ana, too!

Hey, Jenn, does 'dul still want to get her a onesie that says "I'm here because my parents like to fuck"?

Quote of the day:

Jesus, the average human IQ is only 100?

IQ tests are specially designed so that whatever the average is, it's marked as 100. It's graded on a curve. So if you took a room full of MENSA candidates and ONLY measured them (let's say the rest of the human population had been killed off), the average IQ there would be 100. And the same applies to if it were a room full of people with Downs syndrome.

Seriously, doesn't everyone learn that?
