Burt's bees

Guys talk about their "little birds" and girls talk about their periods. The difference is that guys are more open whereas girls try to conceal the fact that they are talking about menstruation. What I've realized is that some of the euphemisms people use may not be as surreptitious as they would like to believe.

For instance...

1. My Aunt Flo is visiting
2. I'm on my rag
3. Big red

1. It's pretty obvious that not everyone has an Aunt Flo and really, who would name their child 'Flo' to begin with? I for one would not want my existence to be associated with menstruation (or diner dash for that matter). 2. Not many people know that this saying stemmed from the fact that women used to collect their uterine lining on rags. I'm sure that was sanitary. I honestly didn't understand the meaning of this until I read some science magazine a few years back. 3. This one just reminds me of the gum. Also, I hate cinnamon, so I'm kind of biased.

M: "Dude... you look horrible"
J: "...thanks..."
M: "No, I'm being serious.. you look SO tired."
J: "...I know..."
M: "Like... there are HUGE black bags under your eyes."
J: "I GET IT!!!!!!" T___T

A blood vessel in my eye popped yesterday. Hooray!

I look like this. Feel like this. And want to this.
