Girl Problems... A TMI Post.
Hello there... This is gonna be a really TMI post, but it's something that I want to talk about.
So a few years ago, when I was at the age of 15 my parents moved us from Queens, NY to Sicklerville, NJ. My brother and I were starting a brand new school and what not so our parents decided to take us on vacation to Florida. We had a great time until the end of the trip. We were in Florida when Hurricane Katrina hit. Obviously most of the damage was in New Orleans but we can't forget that Florida did get hit pretty hard. Once the storm had passed over us, we were able to get out and back to our new home in Jersey.
I started a new school and what not and then my body decided it didn't like me anymore and wanted to do it's own thing. I went about 5 months without getting my period (I know TMI but i warned you), my mother even thought i was pregnant. Then BAM! one day I get my period. I was pretty happy that she would get off my back about the pregnant thing, considering I hadn't had sex with anyone. So then my body really decided it hated me and that it was gonna make my life hell. My period didn't go away for almost 3 weeks. Obviously that isn't normal and if you're body is currently doing that then I recommend heading to the Gynecologist ASAP!
So of course my body started to shut down, I was losing too much blood. I was very weak, had constant headaches, was fatigued to no end. I could hear my heartbeat/pulse as if it were a bell ringing in my ear. Finally I couldn't take it and before school one day I crawled into my moms bed next to her and broke down in tears.
She, like any normal mother, thought that i was faking just to get out of school but she went along with it. She decided to bring up the emergency room as a test, if I declined wanting to go, she knew i was lying. And of course I did, what 15 year old wants to go sit at a hospital over something as embarrassing as her period? But I decided it was best, so she took me and we sat there for hours. Finally they got me back to see a doctor. I got all the normal stuff done and they determined that I was Anemic. My iron level was too low due to the amount of blood I had lost.
They put me on iron pills as soon as I got out of the hospital the next day and a week later I was on Birth Control. The BC is not only protection against getting pregnant, it also regulates your hormones by tricking your body into thinking you're pregnant without actually being pregnant. The brand I took was, one pill last three days, you take one every day for 28 days. The rest of the month which was usually 4 days or so, I'd have my period. Like being pregnant, the pill makes you nauseous and gain weight.
I'd taken the pill for over 4 years when I decided I didn't anymore. That was this past July... And everything was fine until now.
Exactly 5 years later, I'm right back where I was. My body hating me yet again. But I've seem too have caught it earlier even if at this very moment I'm weak, fatigued and have killer headache. I can't believe it's happening all over again but I'm happy I know exactly what's happening because of that experience.
I don't know why I felt the need to write out a whole post about it but idk... I guess I wanted to get it off my chest. I hope you all aren't grossed out... It's a natural thing.... Even if my case isn't oh so normal. Alright awkard turtle. I'm gonna go now lol.

Pranksters
Hey guys :)
So the last two days have been very interesting and hilarious. Thursday was April Fools, so Jen and I decided we wanted to play some pranks on some friends lol.
We started our night by her coming and chilling at my job. It was so slow and extra boring so it was good to have her come visit me. After I closed at 8, we headed to the dollar store where we bought streamers, markers, a balloon, candy, Christina Aguilera tattoos (lmfaoooo) and some other random things. We then headed back to my house and decorated the cone that was chilling in my drive way. Made it all pretty and took it to Nicole's house where we set it up so it blocked her from getting into her driveway. She saw us across the street and we talked for a bit.
We then headed over to Chris' house and put a simple note on his car, along with the tattoos and some candy. Nothing too bad haha. I'm really trying to stay on his good side.
Now the highlight of the night was totally finding Dan's house when he wouldn't give me the address and then wrapping his car in streamers. We ended up calling him and telling him to come out. Where we proceeded to write on his windows with car chalk lol. We wrote things like "I <3 Justin Bieber, hi my name is Dan, tweet me -> @c6D (please go tweet him funny things, he will say funny things back lmfao), food, tight" etc. As we were writing these things at like 11pm, this guy walking his dog comes by and is like "who did you piss off?" We turn to Dan and point "him!" The guy looks at Dan and is like "NICE DUDE!" LMFAOOOO greatest moment of the whole night. I died :)
So anyways we finished it up, talked for a bit and then headed home.
Now last night Jen came back to Jersey and we decided we wanted to try this all again. We went and got more streamers and what not. We headed to the Friendly's in Glassboro to visit Josh. Got some ice cream and as we left he said something about not messing with his car... hahah that was stupid. We didn't do anything crazy, just wrote on poster board and dropped it into his car... Cause he's stupid and left his moon roof open and windows cracked lmfao.
We then drove around for a bit, found some cones to use and headed back to my house. Wrote some funny things on the cones and grabbed tape for the streamers then headed back to Dan's house. Set up the cones around his car and started wrapping streamers around them like caution tape lol. I really thought we were gonna get caught. We finished up and headed back toward Sicklerville.
Went back to Nicole's and put streamers and cones on her car. It was really one of the hardest things to do. Nicole's window was open and we couldn't make any noise. We got it done though and headed back to my house. We finally got back at about 4:30 where we proceeded to leave videos on their walls on facebook. It was quite entertaining. We started getting tired but still stayed awake.
And now we are at the present lol. I haven't slept in over 28 hours. To say the least I'm dying. I'm sitting at work writing this blog and pretty much about to pass out from sleep deprivation. I can not wait to go home and just sleep into Easter lol.
I hope you all don't mind how hurried and not so well written this blog is hahah. I'm super tired. I feel like my heads gonna fall into my keyboard :) so I'm just going to stop now.
xoxo Livv
