The icon above was a screengrab from Lindsey Lohan's latest trial + a question mark made in MS Paint. As you can probably guess, I've never set foot inside Photoshop, and it seems unlikely I ever will. So any icons I make myself will always have that crude, circa 1995-Angelfire vibe to them. Rock on.

Conversation between me and my 14 year-old daughter yesterday morning:

Her: Why won't you let me stay home from school?

Me: Because it's just cramps. And I know it's a scorching case, but it's just not enough of a reason to stay home. Here's an ibuprofin and a glass of milk.

Her: You're fired.

Me: Great! I get to keep all my disposable income!

Her: You don't understand because you're going through menopause, and your periods are, like, nothing.

Me: A) They are not nothing, and B) I've had periods for 35 years. I know everything about periods.

Her: Periods are a curse from God for getting humans kicked out of the Garden of Eden.

Me: Let me be more clear: I know everything TRUE about periods.

How many Justin Biebers could you take in a fight?  (via ms_figg)

I'm happy to learn that I could still take 21 Biebers in a fight. Sure, it doesn't sound like many, but it might buy me some time until I could steal a Hummer or something!

That conversation is just LOL!

I usually stay at home on my first day of period if my stomach hurts to much, like last month. :)

Your mom is way nicer than me!

[macaparket.livejournal.com]

LOL!

Well if it was up to her I'd go to school, but I can't walk or do anything when I get those cramps :P

*giggle* I can sympathize, I had some bad first day of period conversations with my mom like that, LOL! Still, she did the same thing. Handed me ibuprofen and told me to get my butt to the bus stop.

When that ibuprofen wore off, my choir teacher was always good for more. Illicit, of course, due to school rules, but we were all smart enough to not say anything and she was smart enough to know that dealing with 90 females in one room meant she had better come prepared.

My daughter's school has that "no meds" policy too. You're supposed to take all your meds to the office - even aspirin! - with a doctor's or parent's note, and let the school nurse dispense them. Except there IS NO school nurse due to budget cuts. It's a rule made to be broken.

A priceless conversation that! I love your last line.

I had to do the Beiber thing - nice to know I can take 27 should I ever be attacked by a swarm of them - I think I must be a dirtier fighter than you - lol!

Secretly, I have a mom-crush on Justin Bieber. If I ever met him, I would kiss his cheek and feed him cookies. My reluctance to wear Bieber entrails while killing more Biebers probably cost me valuable points.

I can only take 17 of them in a fight. Disappointing, I know. I think it's due to my lack of experience fighting, because I certainly would have no qualms about using parts of him as armor or weapons. I would even rub his entrails over me so that, to the other Beibers, I would smell just like one of them. That way I could infiltrate and destroy from within. Bwa-ha-ha! (See? Reading zombie armageddon comics is useful for SOMETHING!)

I remember my mom allowing me to stay home when my periods were bad, but I USED it. They were seldom THAT bad, I was just having a bad face day (zits) or just felt like staying in bed. I'd say make the little whiner go to school... it'll give her a set of ovaries. ( I'm a much harder person than my mother was.)

I don't care if it's just 17. I like your Bieber-hunting spirit. Step to the front of the line. Here's your spear.

I could take 26 Justin Biebers in a fight. It's nice to know, I'll just pack that information away for future use. You know, in case there are ever 26 Justin Biebers around for me to take out.

My mom never let me stay home with pain from my period. I'm guessing it was because she knows that I have a high level of pain tolerance and just wanted to stay home or because she never was actually around and/or didn't give a damn.

I would take 3 ibuprofen in the morning and another 3 at lunch and be just fine. My only issue was the fact that we had to wear khaki pants, and I was always sure that I would bleed through, so I was always running to the bathroom to check.

I, personally, think your MS Paint skills are pretty awesome! I can't draw a question mark to save my life, let alone trying to do it with a mouse!

26 BIEBERS! I refuse to wear his entrails.

Ditto, I was never allowed to stay home from school for a period. I think I was kept out of school once. On top of that, my family never took vacation during the school session.

[stgulik.livejournal.com]

I was not allowed to stay home with cramps either. I'd be told that's why Nature gave us aspirin.

[droxy.livejournal.com]

I took down 23 Biebers because he's such a pussy. ;)

I'm heartened to know my friends list includes so many bad-ass Bieber-killers.
