ten years of periods

today, november 11th 2008, is not only remembrance day, but also marks my tenth anniversary of having my period.

it was on this day, 10 years ago, when i first got my period while waiting to pick up the kids that i babysat for on a biweekly basis.  

i gotta say that i loved the movie Superbad but the part when the girl gets her period blood on jonah hill's pants while she was grinding with him would never fucking happen.  you can tell that this movie was written by a man--a man who doesn't know very much about women (seth rogen).

water vs. oil

yesterday I had my re-scheduled appointment with Norah (of Norah Salon and Spa) to do below the waist maintenance.

I asked her opinion on whether girls should get waxed on their period.

All she said was: "it's more painful"

She's so professional.

But before I went, I washed my legs, etc. because I thought it is only kind to do so before you go for a wax.  As I was laying down, she swiftly removed the first wax strip; she gasped and said: "did you shower before you came??!!" (as if it were a crime)... I hesitantly admitted to doing so.  She tsk tsk'd me and said: "NIKKI I'M GONNA KILL YOU"

I didn't correct her misuse of my name, but asked her why she wanted me dead.

(I thought it was cause I'm a jew)

And she said that by showering before I came, I rinsed off all my body's oil which made waxing much more difficult.

SO DONt WASH be4 U WAX!!! Or You'll be a dead woMAN walking
