Woke up covered in blood

[conuly]

No santa for me, too busy doing laundry.

OH NO! That's unpleasant, to say the least.

[conuly]

Annoying, anyway.

[archersangel]

the big question is whose?

[conuly]

Mine.

[miss_s_b]

I'm hoping you are ok and this is "just" menstruation

[conuly]

Yes.

[miss_s_b]

Phew. Thanks for letting me know.

[sapphire2309]

:/

*offers elephant hugs*

[conuly]

*squish*

[thornsilver]

Always a great way to start the morning. Especially when you are late for work.

[acelightning]

That's one of the things I miss the least about being younger...

[conuly]

Appropriate icon is appropriate.

[acelightning]

I try my best :-)

[kshandra]

I got to reset my Crone Clock this week, alas.

[conuly]

NICE ICON.

[kshandra]

Thanks. My friend anagramofbrat found the original graffiti, IIRC, and it was too perfect not to use.

[shadowkat]

Been there. Done that. And not that long ago.

You have my sympathies.

[conuly]

Likewise.

[grammarwoman]

Times like that are why I keep a bottle of hydrogen peroxide next to the laundry machines. :|

[silveradept]

Those are the best kind of days, because who doesn't want to wake up to the realization that their plans have been derailed by their own body?

[marahmarie]

Have you ever, like, tried it? Just curious. Asked by somebody who's body's monthly mutinies are the least of the derailments her body puts her through.

[silveradept]

The sarcasm wasn't coming through clearly enough. Sorry.

I have had to see the effects and clean up after them, including the plan derailment parts, though, so I am probably as close to that as one can be without menstruation.

[marahmarie]

You know, I almost edited my comment to say something to that effect but was so tired I literally couldn't find simple little words like "unless that was sarcasm" to string together, but re-reading your comment like three more times it finally hit me, that might be just it.

[silveradept]

Yeah. It requires a bit more tone than the text can convey easily.

[elenbarathi.livejournal.com]

Oh hell; sorry to hear.

[conuly]

This is one of the things that makes me believe in evolution. Any deity that'd make human bodies this annoying deserves to go fuck itself.

[elenbarathi.livejournal.com]

I know, right? 'Intelligent design' my ass!

[conuly]

Then again, this IS the sort of situation a man might come up with because, lol, it doesn't inconvenience him so who cares.

[elenbarathi.livejournal.com]

Oh no, I think the men are definitely inconvenienced by their ladies' inconvenient plumbing, and would gladly thrash the damnfool that designed it, if only they could.

[conuly]

The plumbing is another issue! What genius routes a major sewer through an amusement park!?

[elenbarathi.livejournal.com]

Ah... as to that issue, I don't see a practical way around it, because gravity. The amusement park has to be on the 'ground level' for accessibility.

Well, I suppose it doesn't have to be - we could have our reproductive organs in our chests, or exchange genetic material by some form of kissing or whatever - the fish and other sea-critters have certainly come up with some interesting ways of doing sex. Of course, living on land does cut out some options.

Leaving aside its unavoidable proximity to the waste-disposal system, the female reproductive plumbing is terrible design for a creature meant to walk upright, and having it 'open for business' all the time is terrible design for a peak predator: most only go into heat once a year.

[polydad.livejournal.com]

You OK?

[conuly]

Yes, it's the girly kind of blood!

[polydad.livejournal.com]

I shall have a word with mammalian evolution on your behalf.

[conuly]

Kindly do.

[elenbarathi.livejournal.com]

Yes please. We would like 100% conscious control of all our reproductive functions (without having to learn Martian) so we could turn them off when we're not intending to use them.

[polydad.livejournal.com]

Regretfully, mammalian evolution simply suggested I engage in self-propagatory behavior, as it wasn't going to assist itself.

[conuly]

LOL
