WAIT WAIT WAIT. Tell me THIS isn't a contradiction

Especially since I'm on the topic of feeling more feminine, here's something that needs explained to me - How come mensturating is the most womanly thing to do and it makes you feel the worst? I don't think I need to do an in depth monologue about how women really feel about their period (the new commercial for the U line by Kotex does a pretty good job of that...incidentially, it's a fantastic brand to use. In fact, its probably the best way to make you feel awesome during your period...besides eating brownies).

Speaking of, went canoeing with Mom on Sabbath. Crappy canoe, and I'm not very good at steering, so we ended up pulling it half the time. Thus, I pulled muscles in my upper abdomen, and I'm paying dearly for it. It hurts. Any tips on that feeling any better pleeeeease help.

I want to see....

Perrier's Bounty. Seen it?

Be more....girly?

Yeah yeah, you heard me. It's not that I feel like I'm a boy or anything, just somedays you feel less feminine than other days. Sometimes, when you get overwhelmed because you feel fat or your hair won't stay un-frizzed or, and the way I most strongly relate, your boobs feel more like man-boobs. Those feelings all suck. And why should we let them let us feel sucky? This week then, I'm determined to find ways that make girls feel more girly and by default, more awesome. Probably the best way I know is wearing Victoria's Secret underwear. Going to the Victoria's Secret itself can be quite demoralizing, but once you have those underwear you can think "Man, I bought these underwear at the most girly store ever." Same thing with bras. Buying a bra that makes your boobs feel all snug and sexy, or even one that just looks awesome (like mine is orange with polka dots), puts you in a better mood, even when you find out you bought the wrong size belt...
