I'm Not Dead

I read another book today, this one for my Contemporary American Fiction class. It's called 'The Reluctant Fundamentalist' and is told from the POV of a Pakistani man who moved to the U.S. for college and landed a job in New York City. Once 9/11 happened, he underwent a huge shift in his life priorities, and the book really explores his ideas of nationhood, identity, discrimination and the American Dream. Phenomenal stuff.

TFTNT!!!!

Ju, I quite understand. I hurt my pretty every month. When I was in high school, had to go home in pain, even vomited... once I almost fainted because I could not stand the pain....
now is not so painful, but still hurts.

I have nosebleeds since I was less than a year old so.. I know what it is like.

Hey bbs, thanks for the love and hugs And your title made me laugh Stephen, SO appropriate


Aw Ainara, I'm so sorry Have you ever taken anything to help with the pain? I know some women sometimes take treatments to stop menstruating altogether, even

I've never had much pain or physical symptoms, my main problem is what it does to my mood, I get extremely depressed, like this is the week where I should NOT be allowed to make any decisions, because I just can't see beyond sadness, I feel completely worthless and drained, it's awful Then as soon as I get my period, I'm good again as if nothing happened and I never felt this way. It's pretty crazy, really


Sis, I hope you have fun on your trip I need to buy my tickets to São Paulo, me and mom are going this weekend, can't believe it's here already


And I hope you're feeling better now Mirjami

Tftnt, Stephen. I don't do stressed out fangirl anymore. I like to take the calm approach.

That sounds awful, Ainara. Mine are painful but I have pain killers that work most of the time.

I'm Not Dead

Hopefully we all can follow your lead.

I'm more of a "lazy, slacker fangirl, unless it's fangirling."

It's so much more easier just to sit back and enjoy a show instead of wondering if your ships going to get ruined in that episode.

I'm Not Dead

I feel like such a guy because I worry about things like whether the director is going to do an interesting job. Maybe it would be easier to focus on couples.

Aurora Cormier

Well you do know that the title doesn't really have anything to do with fandom life, don't you?

The couple is within a story. I worry that the story is well told and played. Getting them together the right way at the right point IS good storytelling, an it IS the director's job, plus the actors' and everybody else's to make sure it's interesting. So if a relationship is a big part of the story that a show is telling, as is the case of many sows like HIMYM, Castle, etc, getting together or not is a lot less silly than it might sound to a non-fangirl/boy, imo.

Yeah, I take ibuprofen. But I have to have careful and take also a stomach protector because it can hurt you your stomach.
