TMI alert!

I just got my period yesterday and my ass is cramping up like hell! What the fuck, body? My uterus is all fine and dandy, but my ass hurts so bad!

Does this happen to anyone else? It's never happened to me before! #openthread

@boxspelunker: Your period is mixin' it up, keeping you on your toes. My period likes to do that with arrival day mischief.

Never had any ass pain though. Back pain, yes, ass pain, not yet. #openthread

@Raederle: Stop it, period! It's freaking me out, and it hurts a lot! D:

I usually have lower back pain the first day, and then the occasional cramp. This ass cramp stuff is all new, and it's like someone jabbing me in the butt with a knife. Very unpleasant.

One time, my teeth got sensitive! It was so weird. #openthread

I'm in love with my bf. Of a short amount of time. As in, I dated a boy (and lived with him) for 4.5 years and didn't feel this way a) so strongly b) so soon. (And yes, I've had rebounds, I've gotten over that whole thing long ago.) I feel like "omg, this is what it's like to date the person you're going to marry." And it's awesome and really fucking terrifying all at once, and he's said the same thing, and just.. whoa. Anyone else meet Your Other Half, Kind of Really Literally, and have just been blown away? #openthread

@hellosunshine: Not to be a total downer, but that happened to me and it didn't last; life got in the way. All I'm left with is a hastily purchased engagement ring (that I paid for). Mind you, I'm pretty sure I wouldn't give up the mindblowingly-happy-in-love feeling I felt for anything, even if it only lasted a little while. So, there's that.

Anyway, I'm probably the exception, not the rule. Get off Jezebel and go hug your boy and live happily ever after :) #openthread

@hellosunshine: I felt that way ONE time. After the first date I thought, "I didn't know to want someone like this!" We were engaged 8 weeks later, married 4 months after that. December marks 14 years and we still have first date butterflies, but also this incredibly deep connection that forms from time. And they said it wouldn't last...

Good luck!

I tear up at the mention of a puppy being hurt, I sobbed during Pearl Harbor, and yet I can't cry during sad moments in my own life. I didn't cry when I was dumped this summer, and I didn't cry when I saw my friend for the last time before she moves across the country. Does anyone else have this same problem? Please tell me I'm not the only one this insane. #openthread

Alright, ladies, hate to do this but I am plagued, while watching "It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia" earlier this week, I got the Montell Jordan song "This Is How We Do It" stuck in my head, that was Thursday. We're now on the cusp of Sunday, it's still in there.

I get songs stuck in my head all the time, it sounds fun but it's not, it's almost a burden.

Other famously bad songs that find their way into the nooks and crannies of my brain include:

"A Little Respect" - Erasure (by far the top winner)
"House of the Rising Sun" - The Animals (don't ask)
"PYT" - Michael Jackson
"Holiday" - Madonna (not the whole song, just the first few chords, thank God)
I Want You (She's So Heavy) - The Beatles
MoTown Philly - Boyz II Men

It's pretty horrible seeing as I'm not a big fan of any of these songs, and aside from Erasure, have none of these on my iPod. Yet they stay there, in my brain, and I am one to whistle while I work.

The songs listed above are my staples. I do, from time to time, get a really random one stuck. There was a whole "Tiny Dancer" by Tina Turner incident that I'd like not to discuss. Same goes for Billy Ocean's "Caribbean Queen". I almost needed therapy to remove "Native Love" by Divine.

My "friend"-list of colleagues at work on "Sametime" messaging expect to hear from me daily, it's a running joke, I have a separate collection of names that I have "SOTD", song of the day, I randomly type out to them what song is going thru my head, if I get too close to 2p on any given day I might hear from Marty in I/T, "so what's the tune today?".

So please tell me I'm not the only one with this curse. Or at least add to my random playlist. What's on your involuntary playlist? #openthread

I just got kinda stood up. He told me he'd text me after work at 11, but then he just texted to say he was too tired and had to go to work in the morning, and could we get together Tuesday after class?

We hung out once, then fooled around after I told him I wanted to, I got the impression that he wanted to get together a couple times a week, not necessarily dates but hang out and possibly fool around, but I also thought he'd be more excited about first getting together, and when he had time on Thurs he said that he had a bunch of homework. We're in a class together, and I know he's in a bunch of upper level classes and trying hard to get done. I also know he supports himself and is putting himself through school, so he works a lot, but it's just making me feel like this isn't going to work.

I had no idea what to text back to him, so I just said 'um we'll see about tuesday'. Like, I didn't want to make a big deal out of it in case he is being honest, but...I am a little upset. #openthread

@Needy's Body: While my first instinct is to tell you not to be upset, I know you are but you have to read back at what you wrote, it does sound like he has a lot on his plate. I know, probably not the answer you'd like but sometimes when you have so much going on, even a fun night of getting together is going to fall to the wayside if he took two minutes to sit on the couch, watch mindless tv, and get caught up in doing nothing more than zoning out & falling asleep. Please try not to take it personally, but try not to rule him out just because he's opting for some r&r. If anything, if you chat with him soon, tell him you passed up other plans (even if other plans were to do nothing) and that you would have liked more notice. I don't fault him for wanting to vedge out, I do fault him for not giving you time to find something else to do with your time. #openthread

@Needy's Body: I'm not sure if this is the best advice, but I am the sort of person who, if blown off, will simply wait for them to come to you next time. As in, the ball is in his court, and if he does want to meet up later, only do it if he really makes the plan to do so and not just mentions it casually. Other than that, give him space (no calls or texts) and don't suggest hanging out until he does. #openthread

@Needy's Body: I don't really count something as casual as I'll text you and we'll hang out followed by a text that they are tired to be "stood up."

My question is really, what are you looking for here? This sounds so far more FWB than budding relationship, but you seem to want to actually date him.

I don't see any point in getting annoyed at him at cancelling one set of kind of vague plans. But I do think you need to figure out what you want. If its FWB, I think that tends to work better when the girl calls the shots (ie you don't wait for his text, but text him when you want to come over). If you want an actual relationship, I think you're going to have to point things in that direction (ie he suggests he text you after work and you suggest meeting up on a night he doesn't work instead). Either way, you can tell him you need more notice on cancelled plans in the future. #openthread

@clevernamehere: We talked about what we both wanted, and agreed it was FWB. I was more pissed I had taken another shower and shaved, and didn't get any...I had already showered by the time he texted, and hadn't shaved since I wasn't really planning on getting together, so I had to take another shower, which washed off my expensive lotion. Shallow, but I am a poor college student, and Bath and Body Works is expensive!

@margareita metermaid: LOL - best advice, as my less than enthusiastic response to Tuesday made him as me over for Monday, to spend the night and have pizza. I told him I'd take him up on the pizza, but probably wouldn't spend the night.

Before we fooled around, I told him I wanted to be FWB since I was just out of a longterm thing and wasn't looking for anything serious. I specifically said I would not be spending the night, and he admitted he had never spent the night sleeping with a girl, just having sex and having them leave and didn't want to get into that kind of thing. And now there's an invitation to do precisely that. I don't know what to do or think about this whole thing, but at least I'll get some pizza out of it (oh my god I'm turning into Liz Lemon...). #openthread

@LaurieStrodeTheBoatAshore: After I got over my immediate 'reject him before he rejects you!' fight-or-flight instinct, I realized that he had spent the day working while I got up at noon and my most strenuous activity was walking the dog for 15 minutes (it was uphill though! yeah, I did nothing but atrophy). I also kind of realized there was the kind of implied 'performance' needed, and maybe it was best if he was super tired to put that off til he felt up for it. #openthread

So I've always been anti-"leggings as pants", but tonight the thought of actually getting dressed to go work in the 24-hour library seemed too difficult, so I put on a pair of black leggings, a white tee, a long cardigan, and boots — just like the cliche college girl I've never wanted to be. And worst of all: I am loving it! Leggings are so comfortable! And I don;t even think they make my ass look that bad. Why have I been wasting my time with pants for so long?

I feel as though I have gone over to the lohan-esque dark side. Any other leggings-lovers around? #openthread

@QueenOfCarrotFlowers: You just described what I would have worn when I was a teen, the only problem being I haven't been an official "teen" in, seriously, 20 years (I'm 37, I'm sure I've worn the outfit you just described to Ford City mall).

The fact that this look has come full circle makes me happy in a way that says "NOW I have a reason to open that second bottle of wine"

ETA: If you are both intelligent and giving enough to give your time in a library at some ungodly hour, then absolutely you should wear exactly as you have described. It's lucky you don't show up in a blanket. Working in a library is one of the most important yet thankless jobs, be comfy.

And that's usually because all of my leggings are in the wash. ;) I figure as long as my ass is covered (literally), it's fine. I hope it's a trend that lasts for a while!

Anyone ever taken kratom? There was an article in the local alternative paper about legal herbal drugs, and it described kratom as... I don't know, a wonder drug? It's stimulating and focusing in small doses, like Adderall, and a mellowing euphoric, like an opiate, in higher doses. It's legal here, but illegal in some other countries (Australia and Indonesia, off the top of my head); I'm tempted to check it out but a little scared. But the idea of a legal drug that is the equivalent of both adderall and vicodin? Sounds effing AMAZING. Too good to be true? Anyone ever try it? #openthread

I probably need to apologize to them on Monday. Right now I'm drinking water and wanting nachos like crazy. So at the dance my boy hookup was drunkenly all over me, and another girl.
