Canada Day

Not a bad day, woke up, made blueberry pancakes, read nursery rhymes for school, thought about someone a lot, smiled, did some gardening and got my nails dirty, stood mostly nude on the balcony to watch lightning streak across the sky while the ground rumbled from the thunder (and set off car alarms).

Birth Control

I'm reading a friend's website, and she's talking about birth control and how most teens are afraid to acknowledge they have it or are terrified when their parents find it. What the hell was wrong with me then? Birth control was a "Yeah, and?" sort of non-event, of course then again the mood swings I had before birth control, which although only mildly alleviated may have served to override the parental concern that I may be having sex. Everyone knows boys have cooties anyhow. Speaking of which, when I went on the birth control shot, the nurse told me i still had to use condoms for the first 2 months. Wait a minute? Just the first two months? BIRTH CONTROL DOESN'T PROTECT AGAINST STD'S!!!!!! It's advice like that that gives people herpes.

and another thing...

Oh yeah, and I'm sort of seeing the boy I like again
