I was going to go on...

I was going to go on and on yesterday about my car and how I thought it was frozen to the garage floor, but I don't particularly feel like it anymore. Maybe when I get back to school.

I had a physical yesterday. According to the doctor, I am 5'2". My theory is that I drank a lot of water and expanded. Or that whole you're-taller-in-the-morning-and-gradually-shrink-as-the-day-goes-on thing. You know, that thing.

The doctor thinks (stop reading here, you're really not going to care and if you do, I'd be concerned) that I have estrogen problems and is putting me on Alesse. Side effects include blood clots, stroke, heart attack, nausea, vomiting, bleeding between menstrual periods, weight gain, breast tenderness, and difficulty wearing contact lenses. But on the other hand, the advantages include maybe less bone deterioration when I get old and having regular periods. Yeah. Because I was really missing them back when my cycle was anywhere from 32 days to 50 days to 3 months.

Maybe all that extra estrogen will give me some other feminine advantages I've never had the joy to experience, like PMS and cramps.

Yargh. Maybe I should just let my bones deteriorate. Can I drink monster amounts of milk instead? I don't like putting chemicals in my body.

I guess I shouldn't worry so much about the safety. At least these weren't made by JDay...
