Now that my cousin is following me on twitter
I feel like “omg, my ob/gyn appointment is tomorrow … please give me an IUD” is not the best tweet to make if I don’t want everyone—read: family—knowing my sexual habits. On the other hand, I am really excited at the prospect of getting one and more women need to be aware of birth control options other than condoms and the Pill.
Given that I couldn’t even take chewable vitamins as a child on a regular basis, the idea of a very low-dose hormone or hormone free birth control that is effective for 5 to 10 years after insertion seems like it was made just for me, hah.
On another tangent: OMFG TRUE BLOOD SEASON 3 STARTS TONIGHT.
EDIT: It’s hilarious that being pro-active about my sexual health is taboo but mentioning how much I would like some bud to lull me to sleep is not. And by hilarious, I mean it’s a damn shame.
Maybe the semi-obnoxious guy from New Zealand is right …
The more I get dissatisfied with the idea of a 9 to 5, the more career paths such as journalism appeal to me. I don’t know if I’m cut out to be a journalist. I don’t find my writing particularly compelling but maybe I’m just being hard on myself. Regardless, I should write more since it’s never going to get better unless I do. With my interest in niche-topics like feminism, queer theory, and sociology, I feel like that’s the most satisfying path I can think of at the moment.
Unfortunately, I have no background in journalism or any publishing/editing experience so I’d have to bust my chops and work twice as hard to prove my mettle but, hey, it’s not like I’m not used to proving myself to everyone else so what’s one more?
All I know is that I feel as if I’m languishing in college. I’m going to finish—don’t get me wrong—but I want to actually start living my life. If there’s anything the past few years has taught me, it’s to enjoy the time I’m given and exist on my own terms.
