My Vagina

NO really, I am writing a blog post about my vag & other things I got sidetracked in places OK? Funny story about my vagina, I called it a bagina when I was small.  I know, so cute makes you want to go squee right?  Perhaps not but whatever.  Anyway, I volunteered my lady bits to partake in an art book.  Not I, just my vag.  Its called the uvula project & its all about vagina\’s and lots of them.  Not just mine.  Although perhaps a book starring my vagina would be kind of cool.  Although, I can only think of one person who might appreciate that.  Perhaps not, he could be dead for all I know.  Which would suck on so. many. levels.  I digress however, after all we were talking about my vagina right?

Anyway today is that day.  I\’m tired, cranky, bloated and stuff.  My vagina, well that was a  little whole lot of cranky too.  That was one of the main reason(s) I had to make the painful decision to say no to catching up Thursday night (which I would have loved to do) oh and my sleep schedule was so fubar\’ed that it also would have been a bad idea.  Which was too bad, they had stories to share.  I like other people\’s stories, they\’re interesting.  Maybe I\’ll still get to hear them & talk about something other then what a train wreck my life is for a change.  I like knowing more about people, but I don\’t generally ask a lot of questions unless the mood strikes me because I hate to pry.  Perhaps not (as in have the opportunity)?  Which would also suck 🙁  Oh there I go being all moody again.  ANYWAY (I know, get on with it right?) as I was saying…

Debunking myths, rumours & other asst\’ stuff…

So last night I stayed up a little later then usual because I was having the most random, although interesting conversation with Mike on the phone.  Which may I add (should he happen to read this) his roommate & I won a \”bet\” about the weather.  Would it snow before or after Halloween, we both said before (has to stick & stay white on the ground according to him) and well sure enough its fucking snowing!  Welcome to your first winter in Mtl Mike, your in a for a treat (Toronto ain\’t go nufin on this place!) 😉

Anyway then as I\’m about to go to bed, I get a text message at 12:07am out of nowhere that said:  \”I need you to tell me more about the HSV  thing its freaking me out\”.  HSV (Herpes simplex virus) should only raise cause for ANY type of alarm IF its

HSV-2 which is genital herpes (that sounds like a ton of fun! relationship killer) whereas

HSV-1 isn\’t so bad because its nothing more then a cold sore *ahem*

So yeah said person (they know who they are and yes they do on occasion read my blog so no need to name names) apparently isn\’t talking to me anymore because of a fucking cold sore I had two months ago.   Except said person needs to grow a pair and actually say so, I don\’t go away that easily…  But yeah OK saying you have herpes is a hell of a lot more damming/cryptic/nasty whatever then saying you have a cold sore but guess what ladies & gentleman chances are that you have the virus too and don\’t even know it! Its as common as a cold and easily spread and more often then not people come in contact with it in their infancy.  However its So flipping minor, well at least hsv-1 is, that there\’s no legitimate reason to get your panties in a knot over it.

So yes while you can in theory get genital herpes from HSV-1 its STILL only the HSV-1 strain, NOT HSV-2 which is FAR more damming then HSV-1.  Its pretty simple, you have a cold sore/fever blister outbreak, keep your lips to yourself!  My Doctor & both my dentists told me that the only way HSV-1 can spread is *IF* you actually have an open cold sore, HSV-2 well again that\’s a whole other story.  I honestly couldn\’t imagine what on earth I would do if I ended up with this (its a tad graphic) all over my genitals *shudder*!  Christ I have a fit if I have razor burn, never mind anything else!

Thankfully, on the rare occasions I actually have a cold sore( I almost never get them, I\’ve only actually ever had 3); I get uber paranoid about bacteria (well I already am, hate germs) but I kick the precautions up an extra 100 notches to make damn sure that the cold sore stays in the microscopic section of my lip and NO WHERE ELSE.    Not only that, I see my obgyn every 6 months and even though my sex life is non exsistant and has been for a while I still get my blood work done every 3 months just because I\’m paranoid cautious, aside from the fact that I have to get regular stuff checked anyway (sugar levels & blah blah blah) because of that incident in the summer of my blood pressure being sky high & what not.   So I figure if your siphoning blood out of me anyway, might as well cover all the bases and thank God I am STD free and I WILL stay that way too!

So I think that\’s just really a total cop out…  This \”incident\” occured 2 months ago and its only creeping you out now?  WTF?  Makes no sense to me, other then the one comment that they made in conjunction with me possibly being dissapointed (with what I STILL have NO idea).  Well I have some semblance of a clue I suppose based solely on an assumption due to a comment they made once a while ago.  I got news for them however, I have ways of finding things out (sneaky stalker ninja Steph) and they\’re NO where near as hideous as they may think they are.  My opinion actually such as it is, not that it matters now anyway couldn\’t be MORE opposite but whatever…  Ah sometimes I DO love the internet 😉

I am also not the only one who thinks this whole situation is ridiculous either( not only that but I expected a little more from them and thought they were smarter then that)…  Whilst gabbing gossiping/venting with a few friends on MSN, this was the \’jist of it:
C i lack words in danish, Spanish, Swedish AND English to describe how low that is lol
D: He wont talk to you because of THAT? wtf?
Steph says:
I know! OHHHH I\”M SO pissed!
C says:you should be..
Steph says: Thanks! Glad someone agrees with me!
C says:that\’s just incredible lame lol i cant believe he ignores you because of some cold sores..
Steph: I\’ve only had one in the past 5 years, likely due to the extreme stress of Jason dying, the time before that was about a month before I moved here and the time before that I was like 11
C says: damn >.<

So that being said, went on another job interview after work today.  Jason the actual manager was off somewhere so I was talking to the sous Chef and that was well \”interesting\” to say the least.  Bottom line for me on that Bistro job? Its an insult to my qualifications/bank account and my all around personal integrity as a whole.  So came home and applied for a few more that I know I\’m not over qualified for (for a change!) and I need to call Dominic as well sometime soon to see about doing a trial run in his kitchen.  It was such a  sketchy interview though!  Not only that, a lot of time has passed between Saturday and today so I have my doubts but ain\’t going to know squat unless you try.  So try I shall…  I\’m running out of time here though.  My rent ain\’t going to wait or anything else for that matter!

On a final note, my lovely friend and I have a long running inside joke about heels & fancy drinks 😉  So while doing a shoot, she was the first person I thought of (with someone else a close second) when I seen this image (well one of them anyway).

I\’m going to be narcissistic today…

Because its my blog and I can…  So deal with it 😉

Still sick, not as sick as I was before so that\’s an improvement I suppose… I\’ve gone from having a hardcore runny nose to this awesome cough.  I LOVE when that happens!  If anything its a great excuse to take some time for me and me alone.  Something I haven\’t really had since Jason died.  Except my damn cell phone is going insane!  All of a sudden I\’m miss popular today and truthfully its rather irritating.  There was only one person that I heard from that I actually *wanted* to hear from which was totally random because this person happened to cross my mind and then a half hour later they texted me earlier today.  Kinda creepy in a not so bad way.  Strange when someone\’s in your head like that…  I suggest they get out while they still can, my mind tends to be a dirty, messy place on occasion 😉

Anyway in spite of being sick, I had a photo appointment that I had to commit to and here\’s the end result:  All of which are totally un-edited as well…  I\’m allowed to have my narcissistic moments right? Of course I am!

Hoodies rule my world…

So its been another one of those insanely busy crazy weeks YET again and once again I\’m poor…  Granted I didn\’t have to spend $130.00  at old navy on 3 new hoodies/2 shirts.  My black one was looking a little faded and dated so its perfect for wearing at work in the winter but not for wearing \”out\”.  Then I found a really cute red one to replace the one I used to have.   I parted ways with it because it was just too damn big.  Then I found a really cute green one and of course 2 absolutely adorable SO not my style shirts.  I should have paid of my visa ahem but c\’est la vie!  I\’m getting girlie-er by the minute,   and its freaking me out!  I mean really if you seen the new panties I bought anyone who truly knows me would think I was outta my mind!

Thankfully my days of working 9-4 are OVER!  That extra hour (well in my case 5) that I lost this summer per week really adds up!  So it\’ll take me a while to \”get back on track\” by no fault but my own of course.  So as of Monday I go back to working 9-5 and as of Wed I start going to McGill to get this dental hell of mine sorted out…  Which I will be paying out the ass for in more ways then one!  I have decided however to do some comparison shopping since I have a consultation with my private dentist on the 25th and then at McGill as well.  I have decided that anything that\’s *really* expensive I\’ll get done at McGill because its more cost effective.  Simple things like fillings and so on I\’ll go to my private dentist for.  Mostly because at McGill a filling might take up to 3 hours, yeah THREE HOURS, that sounds fun, what does a root canal take all day?  McGill\’s hours SUCK 9-5 just like my job and my private dentist is open until 9pm and on Saturday\’s.  So to go to McGill for something minor like a filling is hardly worth the money that I\’m going to loose in lost hours.   I\’ll loose money as opposed to saving it so I think I can strike a decent balance between the two.  I\’ve already discussed this with my private dentist and she didn\’t begrudge me for it, she knows that dental care is expensive.  So here\’s to hoping that Leon and Dr. F are harmonious with this situation…

Overall I\’ve had a pretty good week!  I got in touch with a friend that I hadn\’t seen in a while only to discover that her sister (also a friend of mine) is in the hospital which really sucks!  So I\’ve been in to see her as well because the hospital is a damn lonely place.  I still miss Jason each and every single day but it gets easier.  It still hasn\’t sunk in yet 100% but I know that it will and will most likely be at some really awkward moment but I\’ll cross that particular bridge if and when I come to it…
