Young, stupid, but still smart enough to abort
Whoa. Not entirely sure when THAT subject line got entered, but it was interesting enough for me to put on my next boring post.
Go on, be bored. As follows.
Strangely enough, I've been having some issues with birth control. (Yeah, it's going that route.) I usually do the "three-months-at-a-time" hormone pill cycle, but lately I've been so stressed out over my craptastic job (don't worry, I just got a new one, and I start on April 23rd!) that I've forgotten to take the pill at the same time every day. Normally I have breakthrough bleeding for a solid month before my pills are done, but this time I'm at my last few days and...nothing. So I bought some pregnancy tests, just to Make Sure, and they all came out negative. So I will continue to smoke like a chimney and drink like a fish as normal. Thank FSM.
Every time I think about pregnancy, I remember Sylvia Plath's line "infected with progeny" from some poem that really hit me when I was 16 or so. To be fair, I claimed that Ayn Rand "changed my life" in those same years because FINALLY I had found a story that reinforced my "I'm smarter than everyone around me, and better to boot!" mentality that every teenager craves. It should NOT be the voting bloc basis of adult males. Ever.
I am engaged to an amazing man now. I love him so much, and I told myself a long time ago that if I ever got pregnant (again), I would keep it. But my lifestyle is not really conducive to things like "offspring" or "responsibility," so I might have to eat those words if I can't get my shit straight.
