Awesome pics!

When you misread Lexx as Lerxst! When you see a book titled "How to read literature like a professor" and wonder how Neil reads literature...

Before being diagnosed, my anovulatory bleeding was very irregular and unpredictable. Which made it very annoying- especially since I was not wearing tampons back then (old-fashioned family). Cramps were easily manageable with exercise- I did not even need an analgesic. Other mainly annoying part was the acne on my back- didn't get it on my face. Hirsutism I shaved/bleached/depilated/waxed off. Mother made a big fuss about my extra weight (she has anorexia nervosa and orthorexia nervosa), but I was not a plus size (just on the larger side of average and not even the heaviest girl in class), so it was not the biggest annoyance to me- yet it was the main reason why I was taken to an endocrinologist. I have been slender since my diagnosis, have no acne, no hirsutism, and a very regular and predictable and pain-free drip. Blood sugar is still very low. Cholesterol has gone down since I became a vegetarian. I do know a lesbian couple who had a baby recently. One partner had two children from her first marriage. But the other one had the baby this time. I know another lesbian couple who will TTC starting next year. I know several women (mostly straight) who were devastated upon finding out they had PCOS and their likelyhood of having kids was lowered. But if anyone can handle that side effect, it is me. I just don't want to risk diabetes. Or to bring another person to this already overpopulated world. Biological parenthood is just not.for.me.

Apple Chai Infusion from Starbucks. I drink it nearly every day. I get it about 99% of the time. Last time I got something else at SBUX was a couple Saturdays ago, when they were out of apple juice and I got the passion tea instead.

Various people telling me I looked great- even with my cold. I dressed up nicely, wore my hair down, and wore full make-up. But it still shows that I have a cold. This means a lot because my last crush saw me today. The only clue I had that he did not feel the same way for me was that he never complimented my appearance

This is one gift Mother Nature did not give me. I do not PMS because I do not menstruate. I do not menstruate because I do not ovulate. I do not ovulate because I have PCOS. I have zero interest in having biological children, so this may be moot. I have been successfully diagnosed and treated. I am more concerned with preventing diabetes than with the infertility part. I am in a good mood every day of the month...as long as it is before 11PM or so. After that, I am just plain incoherent. My solar cycle works well- it's the lunar one that does not work at all. I still like being female.

I like Alfonso Cuaron. But I watch movies because of the plot and genre, not so much because of directors.

When you name your iPod Touch "Geddy Lee" OK, so I also named my cell phone "Elle Woods" because it is pink. And my car is "Indigo Child". And my condo is "Little Pink House".

Feeling well enough to get through Body Combat, though I was not particularly energetic during it. And yesterday, it was the fact that I felt well enough to make it to and through Eine Kleine Nachtmusik at the symphony last night. I am not a night person. I have a nasty cold that will not.go.away. But I did get to see the symphony play a favorite piece by a favorite composer.

I liked British Literature more than American Literature back in high school for some reason. I did my 12th grade AP English Literature big paper on Gulliver's Travels. I love that book.

Awesome!!! So nerdy and inventive. Very in-character for Geddy and Alex.

When you write December the 21rst in the European/Latin American/Military way so that you can have it be 21/12

I prefer to know the setlist ahead of time. Especially for more expensive concerts, or for bands that I do not know a lot of their songs.

This year's concert was my first one because it was the first time I was aware they were playing in my city. I thought it would be cool to see my fave songs of theirs performed live- I checked the setlist before to make sure Freewill would be played. I did see many women there. And many kids and teens too.

When you see a street called "Pratt Lane" and you squee. When you want a digital 24-hour clock so that it can say 21:12. OK, so I do want a 24-hour clock everywhere for many unrelated reasons anyway. But still cool.

I am going to see Eine Kleine Nachtmusik tonight. Does that count? And next week, I hope to see Apocalyptica.

I was at the right place at the right time for a good reason. A very cosmic one that reminded me why I was there and why I came from where I come from. I was able to assist someone whom nobody else could have assisted at the time. And everything will be fine. I feel like a hero today.

None. My job requires way too much brainpower from me to have anything left to play RPGs with. And that is a good thing : I do play Guitar Hero whenever I host Game Zone at my library. Last year I did play the Sailor Moon RPG Another Story.

When the car in front of you has a tag ending in YYN, and you are thinking "hey, if you flip the N sideways, you have YYZ!" And I do know what Red Sector A is all about- and that is one of the reasons why I like that song. I do all 3 parts to Rush songs upon hearing them. Haven't gotten a Rush T-shirt, but I was asked who Rush was when I said I was going to see them on my birthday weekend.

I put non-changing detailed. It is what they are accustomed to. The only remotely spontaneous one of the trio is Alex- but I still think he likes his big show. I wonder if too much change and improptu work would upset Neil. And it would still be a bit out of element for Geddy.

Finally I will admit it: I misheard "A modern day warrior" as "Monday morning" and "The world is" as "No worries" Please understand English is my second language. "ducks and dodges the tomatoes"

My costume page: http://www.cosplaylab.com/cosplayers/detail.asp?memberid=128 Costumes can be considered art, right? A few of them are from scratch. Most are made from modifying existing articles of clothing. All of them are hand-sewn- I have never used a sewing machine.

No kids here- just pet mice and goldfish. I do like Dog Years. I can think of several worse songs.
