I spent the evening with Wednesday watching the DVD Collector's Edition of Dirty Dancing. She had never seen it before (yea, i know!) and I thought I would end her misery. Patrick Swayze and Jennifer Gray are so amazing together. I still get a little hot during the sex scene no matter how many times I've seen it. I wish dancing was a part of foreplay in my bedroom, but alas, if it was then I'd probably end up laughing hysterically half way through.
It's been a pretty dull few days. I've been trying to occupy myself without having to spend much money (since I don't have any). I'm fighting urges to go thrifting for yardages and battling even more desires to spend what little money I have on fusiable webbing and zippers. Instead I've been spending my time in front of the computer and toiling over my sewing machine, creating and creating. I've made almost twenty headbands, two handbags and a belt all within the last 72 hours. Not to mention I've started a new website for my little mailorder business.
Sometimes I think I need more of a life; something that will take me outside in the sunshine and brown this fair skin of mine. I detach myself from society when I sew, and even though I sleep so much better, I still feel quite anti-social.
"I'm sorry, I can't come out tonight because I have a handbag that I must finish making"—How fucking nerdy does that sound? I mean, really.
Though, I am starting to get bored with the fabric I have right now. The patterns don't seem right for some reason and nothing fits. I'm not at all satisfied with anything. I want to expand my skills and create something fantastic. I want to make dresses and hats because every day should be a Pretty Day, even in the studio and even when I'm so bloated I can't fit into my underpants. The right fabric has a way of changing everything and that's what I love so much about textiles. Textiles have helped shape the world and our cultures, but since they are something so every day, they go completely unrecognized. Fabric has such a profound effect on people and they probably don't even realize it.
I'm babbling a little bit. I'm tired but happy I didn't attempt to eat ice cream earlier this evening. Tomorrow I'll wake up at the usual time, take the dog for a walk, and try to read with a cup of tea. A week from tomorrow my boyfriend is here. A week from Tuesday I start my period. Bastards.
But I'll leave with a question maybe some of you can answer for me: I've heard that if you skip the 7 day break/placebo part of your birth control pill and start taking the hormones right away that you will skip your period. I tried this once before and had period-like cramps and bleeding that lasted for one day, followed by a few days of light spotting but I got freaked out and stopped taking the pill for the rest of the month. Was that normal? Or am I just a weirdo? Was my period supposed to completely skip or not?
Yea. Your responses would be great.
