Christ I'm too old for hangovers.
How old was PG Wodehouse?

I got [livejournal.com profile] okterok out of the house.

Last night was supposed to be The Climax Lounge's 40th Anniversary. We showed up at 10 p.m. expecting horrible bands, pitchers of vodka red bull, cockroaches, and pinball. There was none of that, the doors were closed.

We went over to the Mercury to plot and to wait for [livejournal.com profile] arendal. We obnoxiously drank our overpriced alcohol. We ran into one of Little Brian's old flames. She was wearing a white kimono and doing poetry. We decided to go over to The Rockaway, the new dive/tiki bar that took over The Triangle.

No tiki, no leather, no HEP C signs in the bathroom. But there was ScreamCore, stiff drinks, and the Misfits on the jukebox. Deep conversations with [livejournal.com profile] arendal. And I asked one of Little Brian's friends why he left the house wearing girl's pajamas. I think this was probably rude of me.

TMI


At home I lost my tampon. Well, I knew where it was, it was just not coming out. I tried. I woke John up at 3 a.m. for help. He tried. We pondered finding the speculum. I wished a certain smaller fingered friend was available. I got in the shower, relaxed, and worked it out, but it took 20 minutes.

Friend of mine got half a small cuke stuck in the same way. Way too slippery to grip with fingers, and not enough room to grab it anyway. She came over, I borrowed small, metal, moderately-toothed, pickle tongs from the neighbors, put a condom on each arm (of the tongs), and managed to get enough of a grip on the cuke to extract it. :-)

Hopefully she learned that lesson....

A friend of mine got a lime stuck in her ass. Then the Leatherman broke off in there. She eventually got it out by muscle control, but it was a long night.

"Leatherman broke off in there." Wow. Ass of steel.

Remember kids, always put your instertables in condoms!

(yes, I think she learned.)

Diva cups FTW. never get lost, can be left in 12 hours. Don't leak even a wee bit.

Yay to getting out! Let's do it more!

Thankfully I avoided a hangover. Not exactly clear how.

I have a broken vagina right now and I don't think the Diva cup would fit or I'd try it. I also only bleed 3 days of every 4 months, so I can't justify the cost.

See you tomorrow morning!

I often forget about your very broken vagina (tm). Perhaps you should get one of those ribbon campaigns going for it ;).

You are so awesome.

Or kickstarter!

More TMI

Diva Cups sounded like a great idea and I tried one, unfortunately it DOES leak - a lot, I have a very... unfortunate flow. And yes, I had it in right and tried it for several months. I can only use at the end...

hmm. Well the first time I tried it, it didn't work at all. Then I read an article which helped a lot about placement and so on and have had 0 leakage since. It's, sadly, nothing I could describe more than a "feeling" of knowing when it's right. -_-

I'd love to see the article if you could find it. I think the reality is that I just have a really heavy flow and in way TMI land if I use them at night it literally overflows - during the day when I can adjust every few hours I've had more success, but certainly not total.

I still have it of course, and I really hate all the waste, that's why I tried it in the first place.
