Never Ask A Man!
I've got a question for you. This goes out to both Male AND Female Blogger types: Do any of you ever show "questionable" posts to your significant other before posting? You know, posts that might contain TOO MUCH INFORMATION?
Here's the scenario: You write a post and consider it an entertaining work of art, and then you giggle to yourself, and then go off and do something else for a while. When you open it up again in a few hours, you get the goofy idea that maybe your mate would get a kick out of being the first to read your masterpiece.
Two hours later, when you show him your post, he reads it, and looks baffled by it! He even admits that he doesn't "get it". That's when insecurities set in. It's like the big, black, evil INSECURITY LIGHTBULB has gone off over your head and all of a sudden, even though you were feeling confident and almost cocky about your work earlier, now everything you wrote looks like it was written by a sicko with mental problems! In your very own insecure mind you've suddenly turned into a weirdo freak with a need to "overshare" with several hundred strangers. Has this ever happened to you? (All right now. Speak up here! Remember, I ALREADY confessed that I'm sensitive as shit! How about you?)
Now this part goes out to the girls. Come on now. Half the world's population is women. We ALL experience similar bodily functions. We all eat, shit, poop, and menstruate! The other half of the population has to put up with our mood swings as we PMS! Last Guy actually puts the dates of my period in his palm pilot so that he knows what days I'm going to turn into PSYCHO BITCH FROM HELL!... Oh, am I sharing too much?
I wrote a post earlier today about my sister, our youth, and a nasty first period experience. I'm not talking about high school study hall here. I'm talking about the first time I actually HAD my period! I really thought it was funny. I showed it to Last Guy and he just didn't get it! As a matter of fact, he was put off by it! (And no... it's not "That time of the month"). I wonder if it was because he's a guy? Would a guy who wasn't MY guy find a little ditty about menstruation amusing? (Don't get me wrong. Last Guy is VERY sensitive about most things. But no matter what... HE IS A GUY!)
I believe girls can relate to stories of blood, guts and glory, but maybe it takes a SENSITIVE NEW AGE GUY to find the humor in TAMPONS!
What do you think?
