Kind of. more like if I were doing a mohawk, but only shaved part of one side, and had someone cut a design into the shaved part.

that's really cool :o

I don't even really like sweets, but I like these cookies. They can even make meringues taste good.

A barber shop would be able to do the designs, Den.

i love sweets as long as they're balanced with other tastes, so they're not cloying. that's why most of the desserts i like are things like lemon tarts and salted caramel cheesecake.

I'm a bitter, salty, sour woman.

Salty, sour, sweet, umami fan here. not terribly fond of bitterness.

I love me some slightly burnt toast, or charred meat. XD Oh, or unsweetened tea.

Got an IUD today, went pretty well. only 'bad' part was when I got nicked by one of the tools and started bleeding (was outside the uterus, and the bleeding's stopped by now).

I had one of those for a couple days.

I'm gonna be paying attention for unexpected pain from that area for the next few days. funny thing though, turns out my uterus is naturally curved, kinda like it's been squished down from the top.

Huh.

I just hope you don't wind up with labour pains, like I got. I am SO glad that I will NEVER have kids.

So I'm past the three-day mark. aside from some minor cramping that happened in the car on the way home and for about an hour after, I haven't had any pain or cramps.

...I feel like I want to kick you on the butt. Hopefully, you remember how little anger is actually in my opinion of kicking people on the butt. LOL It's just minor envy. But I'm really glad you're okay and it's working, too.

I go for my follow-up next month, so I'mma also bring up the stuff with my boobs and the rashes from sweating and all that junk, and ask about either top surgery or a reduction to an A cup.

I'm really starting to long for removal of the plumbing. I'm getting sick of periods lasting over a week, and getting heavier again on like, the ninth day.

Maybe look into the implant?

Don't know. The doctor didn't think I was on the safe list for anything with hormones. And... wughhhh. I'm shivering at the thought and mentally rubbing my arm.

Let me tell you, this feeling emotions and things? Is worse than a roller coaster, but also better. Even though at times it also makes me want to urp.

Fair point. Better to be safe, than sorry. Also, no reason for you to get a copper IUD, for similar reasons to me (in other words: not participating in the activity that would cause need for that).

Moving on... been almost a week since the IUD got put in. no issues so far.

would it be possible for you to get on birth control, tam?

ngl, i do want to get the whole uterus thing removed at some point because periods are a fucking pain in the ass, but, y'know, i don't exactly get bad cramping? like, the most i'll get is a weird sort of ache in the first couple of days but it's mostly able to be tuned out.

...the nhs refuses to remove it unless i'm in my late forties or have tumors, though.

Yay for no issues. And the copper IUD the doctor tried me with was for trying to stop the unending period.

No, because I see stars too often. Means the birth control would put me at a risk of stroke.

Speaking of periods, THIS (deleted word) WON'T END.

Copper IUDs are usually just used for birth control...

Yep, sounds about right. Think being on T should alleviate some of the monthly stupidity, but uh. Errrrr. Parents.

The doctor said it'd regulate or clear out the period too, Den.

but without hormones, that doesn't make sense to me.

She said something about because it bugged the inside of the space.

(I think your cactus is under your shoe)

Huh. Seems a bit weird to me, but I'm not a doctor, so *shrugs and goes to fix avatar*

Do you like pokemons at all?

I have a few pokémon I like, but I don't really play the game I have a whole lot, and I don't play Pokémon Go all that often either...there's not really a lot of gyms in town or pokémon in my part of town.

Ahhh. I was wondering because I've been building eveelutions dolls.

I have a lot of love for Evee, and a really hard time picking a favorite for Eveelutions.

eevees are cute. iirc, they're based on foxes?

I think so?

hell if i know, but espeon looks more like a cat.

Yeah, that's fair.

Well, if you guys can pick one (not Leafeon, I'm hoarding that right now. ...Den probably knows why), I'll send that one to you (offer to both of you, Den gets first pick because I've known her longer). They're little jointed plastic critters. Really pretty. And yes. I have an unevolved Evee, too.

Eevee seems to be based on a hybrid type of animal, based on its lore. Probably a mix of fox, cat, and dog if I had to guess.

Also, I know I don't swing by here that often but I wanted to share some arts XD

Evee or Sylveon.... hmmm....

Yay for arts!

XD Flip a coin, Den.

Sylveon! pretty ribbon fox critter <3

Okay!
