EWwww

I get sidetracked often, this is common knowledge. So, when I was reading up on Necrotizing Fasciitis on wiki, I moseyed on over to reading about TSS (toxic shock syndrome).. where I learned of the "Rely" tampons (or as I like to call 'em harpoons). 
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toxic_shock_syndrome#Rely_tampons
This in and of itself was an EWWWWWW factor to me. I get wanting to give your customers what they want, but this is an example of going too far to please! 
"in August 1978, Proctor & Gamble introduced superabsorbent Rely tampons to the United States market in response to women's demands for tampons that could contain an entire menstrual flow without leaking or replacement."
Can anyone else join me in saying "EEWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW" 


How unhygienic! And gross! Imagine, to keep it in there during the whole of your cycle, for some people ranging anywhere from 4 days to a week (some even longer!) 


Forget TSS, I'm picturing blood clots of sorts, like dried crusted blood.. what if it were to get stuck? What if the string breaks? What if you forget it's in there. *shudders* I'd hate to see what other consequences can come out of it.


Forget all issues, could you imagine the smell??!? Some girls are accused of smelling like fish... this would make you smell like dead corpse Dx


Ok.. enough grossness talk. I just had to get that out of my system and fb didn't seem like an "appropriate" place to put it 


mwahahahahaha >:D

peaceful kitty :)

For the first time ever I'm finally going to be attending Fantasia film festival in Montreal. I've wanted to go in previous years, but never did for lack of people to go with. This year, I'm taking matters into my own hands ^_^ A coworker showed me the program book and I was instantly drawn in! I'll be going to watch "A Frozen Flower" with her. Then I'll be going to 3 other movies by myself.
Way back in the day, I had gone to a couple of movies by myself. In the spirit of taking myself out, some "me" time, treating myself. Those days seem long past. When did I start relying on others to go see movies? Maybe not relying per se, but in the sense that I only go see movies if I have someone to go with. That's kind of the reason why I've never attended Fantasia events before... I lack friends who are into those types of movies. Sure, I've got a few that are... but to actually make it out to a movie on time.. that'd be asking for a miracle lol
So this year, I said "what the heck, I'm going to go by myself", if someone wants to join me, ok, fine. But there are sooo many movies that look interesting that I can't pass up the chance.
It was really hard, there are sooo many movies I want to watch. But being on the tight budget that I am, I narrowed it down to 4 movies. Next year though, I'm sooo saving up for this *nods*

So my list of movies (in the order they come):

- Sun July 11th - A Frozen Flower

- Tues July 13th - Mai Mai Miracle
http://www.fantasiafestival.com/2010/en/films/film_detail.php?id=26

- Sat July 17th - Blades of Blood (like the moon escaping from the clouds)
http://www.fantasiafestival.com/2010/en/films/film_detail.php?id=284

- Mon July 26th - A Little Pond
http://www.fantasiafestival.com/2010/en/films/film_detail.php?id=239

I'm eagerly looking forward to these movies. It's pretty cool, the tickets are $8 a pop, but if you buy 10, they're $7 a pop.. I tell you I was sooo tempted. But I had to smack some sense into meself so I wouldn't go higher that 4 tickets. How tempted I was to get 10 tickets.. I swear, there are soooo many good movies!! They even have some old time black and white classics. Omg they even have The Land Before Time playing. I looooove that movie!!! I'd so love to see it on big screen.. but I decided to go for something I have yet to see. Still though, it's such a shame I have such a tight budget. T__T

Oh! I forgot to mention!! On July 18th, they're having a 2 voice actors come to speak. I can't remember their names, but I'll definitely put an update after I purchase the program book tomorrow :)
I'm really hyped about this!!! *bounces* Voice acting is afterall my dream job ^_^

So ya, many many things to look forward to *nods*

Later my loverlys *waves*
