Comic-Con was fun. And exhausting. Home now and doing homework all day and then class tonight. Yuck!

I am home with a sick baby. Who, now that she's awake, is a cheerfully hyper sick baby.

Which is all well and good, but if she'd nap, I could sleep, too, drat it!

So. Very. Late., but it seems I am partially Sail, at least when it comes to sex:

I've probably broken all the rules sex-wise. Which is, undoubtedly, why I'm now NGA. Payback's a bitch. Actually, I fall more along the ita line of dating. If you ping me, I'll go there. More often than not it's a one-fer. If he's local, maybe even a five- or six-fer.

I like sex enough and am picky enough that if the person doesn't ping my early-warning system AND hits the "hello, want that" button, I'll go there as soon as I can. 10 years of relationships kind of skewed that behavior, but it's starting to come back. Oddly enough, that behavior started some great friendships.

Also, TOO FUCKING HOT. So hot that I've reverted back to the bad old overheated behaviors, like not eating until it's cooler. My poor cat. (I was down in Woodside this weekend, opening my show, and it was 105 with no breeze. In the sun. Ugh.)

I like sex enough and am picky enough that if the person doesn't ping my early-warning system AND hits the "hello, want that" button, I'll go there as soon as I can.

In theory this is where I am, but I'm horribly awkward about actually communicating that, so it doesn't often go anywhere.

Girly TMI: my period has started. Two weeks after it ended. For the second month in a row. Last month it lasted 12 days. I swear, if it does that again this month, I'm gonna strangle someone. So much for the Nuva Ring regulating my periods .

Can I ask you to join in one last rousing chorus of "I fucking hate the fucking landlord from hell", just for old time's sake?

dang, vw. That sucks. How many months have you been on the ring? (whitefont) you have the ring in AND getting your period? If that's the case, I'd ask the doctor what's what, because that shit ain't regulation.

Of course! I'm still dealing with mine, so I'm sure there will be more stories.

All together now, "I fucking hate the fucking landlord from hell!"

Nora,

How many months have you been on the ring?

This is my forth month, I think.

As to your white font: yes, I'm getting it while the ring is in (a week before it comes out). Last month the doctor told me to keep it in and keep my schedule with it, that there would be "break-through bleeding." Um, a 12-day period is NOT break-through bleeding. It's a pain in the ass.

I didn't know dragonflies chowed on butterflies. I like to put pictures of the flying things together too.

No, I didn't either, love. But if I were going to release butterflies AND dragonflies at my wedding (and since I'm unlikely to have that kind of wedding, even were I to wed, it's kind of a moot point, I guess, but let's pretend) then I'd sure as hell do a quick Google to check whether it would be A Beautiful Lifetime Event or a really pretty and iridescent-winged SLAUGHTERHOUSE OF FLUTTERY DOOM!!!!

And I bet you'd Google to check that too, just in case of The Most Important Day Of Your Life (TM) turning into hideously comedic pretty insect apocalypse. So I think we can still point and laugh at Madame Butterfly and her crappy wedding planners & suppliers.
