typepad, the service that i use to compose and publish this lovely blog, has decided to change their compose box to something utterly stupid and impossible to use. i am currently enraged, but the cheery font it is showing me on my screen is telling me otherwise, further enraging me. argh!
anyhoo, i'm pretty spent. i know you've all been wondering "when is amanda going to tell us about her period again?" so here goes. i am too broke to buy tampons, so i have to use pads that, as if they weren't humiliating enough, are ALL WRONG. my mom said she had a stash of old maxis (as they called them once, LOL) and gave me this big, giant bag. well, they are Poise Pads, which, if you don't know, are especially marketed to women for mild incontinence. as far as i know (and i do know) my mother has never suffered from mild incontinence, so she either bought them by accident long ago, or they are ancient relics from previous inhabitants of our house. i won't have you suffer through the details, but let me just say, things that are meant to absorb urine are no good at absorbing other things, and things that are meant to be diapers look and feel like diapers, no matter how pink the packaging may be. screw you, Poise Pads!
that is all.
oh, also i uploaded a bunch of new pictures onto my Flickr, so if you want to see pictures of how my life is, you can. i have a feeling i won't be posting too many personal pics here for a while, if i don't figure out this new input system soon. screw you, typepad!
this new typepad “compose” page nonsense is driving me crazy too. You are not alone.
