Hooray of the Day!
Going on a field trip tomorrow. Woo!
Woo!
Oh and I got my period. That's a hooray because even if I'm on the pill I'm always worried, and since I was with Alex before Christmas I was expecting this one. All's well.
Yay! I always get excited for half a second when I get mine because it's an assurance that there's no Virgin Mary shit going on in my body.
Hahaha I always freak out about this too. When I first got my period in jr. high I wouldn't get my period for three months. It continued like this for years until I lost my virginity. Then I became more regular. So when I miss several months at a time these days during my dry spells I freak out that I may be miraculously impregnated.
I was the youngest girl in my class and the last one of the girls to get her period. Why did I want that thing so bad? It do nothing but cause me problems from the day I started it. I am glad the hysterectomy took that shark week away. I've been Shark Week Free for 3 years in Febuary. I love that. Wanted to get it so bad and oh so happy to see it go.
Whatever Whore!
I love that you call it Shark Week! That's my hooray of the day!
That's a cult name that I think Z started.
And you weren't the last one Winnie. Kids are just really good at making you think things like that.
I really didn't want to get my period and didn't tell anyone other than my Mum I'd started for ages - far too embarassing! I was almost 13 when it arrived, on the day of a grandparent's funeral, I seem to remember. Hello puberty!
This conversation is so Judy Blume...
Haha, I think I've said this before but when I got mine the first time I went to my mum and I said, "I've started..." and she said, "Cleaning your room? Well done!" and I went "No." she said, "Oh your biography project! Well done!" and I had to say, "My period!" and she burst in to tears and I called her stupid and ran off. I think I was about 13, ugh. Every time I got it I used to get horrific cramps and faint and such but because I used to fake sick in school so much I was often left to just suffer through it in a classroom on my own. I felt like what I imagine it's like to come off heroin, sweating, agony, sickness, light headedness. It used to always be a surprise. Fuck Shark Week!
Tears of joy or sadness? 
I think my Mum gave me a hug. I hear Americans give girls cakes? (I think I read this in a Judy Blume book!)
How come you don't get cramps any more? Mine are slightly better when I'm on the pill.
Yeah I've been taking the pill since I was about 15 because it was so bad! My mum cried tears of joy, it was so mortifying and awful.
I never got a cake! I was ten (ten!) and started crying and asked my mom if they could give me a shot to make it go away for a few more years because I was just a little girl.
Shark week free since February 2004. 
I started the morning of my hysterectomy and worried that they wouldn't go forward with the procedure, but my doctor laughed when I asked and we were both like ahaha, fuck you, uterus!
I was 11 and a half and I was at the countryside, so mum had to go and ask my aunt for pads. I bet it was an interesting conversation.
My sister got hers last autumn, that's almost a year later than me.
I didn't get a cake either!
Starting at ten is tough!
Just remembered, when I was boarding during prep school we used to call having your period your pony.
i.e.
Friend 1: Do you wanna go swimming?
Friend 2: Nah, I'm on my pony this week.
This is just one of the code words we used to communicate.
Anyway, I might revert back to calling it this, but I also like the sinister tone of "shark week".
Your pony! What a cute name for something so bad.
I call it "on stop" or something like that. In Romanian, of course; when I'm referring to it in English, I use "period".
Ahaha, "I'm on my pony." I love that one!
Most of those girls also owned ponies, haha.
I'm beginning to notice that the cult guys are outnumbered these days.
Yeah, I was just saying that to Pål Martin, hehe. "This is what happens with so many women gathered on a forum."
Seriously, the men need to step up and post more. Wusses.
My balls have been sticking to my leg more frequently lately. I've been dropping some pretty epic shits lately too. I christened the toilet at the apartment and it's never been clogged before. It was a proud moment.
Better?
Not necessarily about your balls and poop.
I wore a pair of dark maroon pants the entire week of my first period.
I was 13, and visiting my grandparents in california for the summer. My little sister was in Florida with her dad and when we both got back home I had the big news to flaunt and then it turned out she got hers too. The same week as I did, just a couple days later. Completely spoiling my fun about being a woman while she was still a child.
She synced up with me from across the country!!
Yeah, I got nothin'.
This is why we can't have nice things.
I like it, all us lady women need to have some pink cocktails and dance to Single Ladies and have our periods because we are awesome.
Good luck with that, Amy, I think I'm the only single lady around.
Why does that happen?
Why did you ask?!!
HAHAHA! HOORAY!
Why does that happen?
Lately it's been night sweats.
...it still makes me laugh. I used it recently
As your attorney, my advise to you is to start drinking heavily(er).-Tuffy
I got a nooner!
And have done nothing productive today!

Me, too! Minus the nooner!

That's what she said.
I rarely have anything to post in this thread, but UPS finally brought my new Kindle! It is friggin awesome. It's the new Kindle Paperwhite, with the built in light. It has tons of new features, I'm reading a book I borrowed from the Kindle library that I would never normally read just so I can play with it a bit. It's a bit heavier than my old one, but I'm sure I'll get used to it. I also keep trying to hit buttons that aren't there, but I'm sure I'll get used to that too.
I'm so excited!

I was gonna say me too but I guess I'm not single anymore...this could be a hooray post.
Yeah, hi, I'm single.

I received Amber's card!
Today I found out that my Operation Christmas Child shoeboxes went to a boy and girl in Belarus
Oh! I didn't realise you hadn't received it yet.
That took more than three weeks.
Hattie, I love that program.
Pretty great day. Had some gift cards to spend at the mall this morning while trying to relax for an exam. Took a placement exam and tested out of all four semesters of Spanish. Now I just need to take a simple one-hour course (probably fencing or aikido or something fun like that) to get the credits transferred to the university and I will be set to graduate in May. Next step, get a decent job this semester.
Celebrating with some Midnight in Paris, which I just bought on Blu-Ray.

Congratulations!!!!!
Just got back from AP night and I introduced my biology lab teacher to my mom and she said to her, “Your daughter is really bright. She rocks.” and then she turned to me and said, “I mean it. You’re really bright. Please take an AP science course. You have the mind for it.”
I was strongly under the impression that this teacher didn't like me. I guess liking me or not wouldn't shield over the fact that I am good with science but she really seemed enthusiastic.
She won that presidential teaching award for science last year and worked for NASA and stuff so she's smart as hell and it's really nice to hear that from someone like her.
I'm lucky to go to my high school.
Maybe this is a hooray buzzkill or TMI but lets see. Me and Cassie had some great sex. Like all sorts of passion and good stuff and afterwords she was all blown aaway about it. But what that lead to was her all of a sudden realizing, "Shit I am leaving in less than 2 months for who knows how long, I all of a sudden am not sure if I want to leave." And me being like, "Oh shit I want to leave in a few months to anyplace but here." And both of us realizing were fucked. Yay?

Oh and I got Sarah's card with all of Lucy's adorable cuteness!
