Raging Hormones

Isn’t it weird how greatly our raging hormones can take hold of us and spiral us down a path we never would have approached had we been in our right mind? I find it extremely interesting, especially since I’ve been a victim of my hormones on many different occasions. Right now, I think I’m going through a stage that’s just confusing the shit out of me. For over a month now, all I can think of are babies. For no reason, just one day I got infatuated with the idea of a cute little baby.
I don’t want a baby, not now at least. I already have a dog and even he would be impossible for me to take care of if my boyfriend wasn’t co-parenting, which I guess goes for babies too. Actually, there is no doubt in my mind that I am completely not ready to even think of having babies for at least another couple of years. But, that hasn’t stopped my obsession. All of a sudden, I’m noticing babies everywhere, and I can’t even stop myself from cooing at their cuteness. I’ve never felt this way before, it’s like my logical brain completely shuts down for a moment, that I’ve actually been having internal fights with myself. I’ll be thinking of babies, and then all the sudden I switch on and go, “What the hell are you thinking? Are you crazy?” in which I respond, “Probably.” It got so bad that one month my period was late I was secretly wishing that I was pregnant, even though I knew I couldn’t be! I wasted money on pregnancy tests even, pretending that I’m devastated when really, I was hoping by some miracle it’d come out positive and my excuse would just be, “whoops, guess we have to have a baby now!” I’ve been trying to figure out what it means; is it because my body is at its most fertile? Is it because I’m in a steady relationship and my mind is automatically jumping to the next step? I’m not sure, but I’m not succumbing to it. It also made me realise, maybe I’m not the only one. Maybe that’s why some people too young find becoming a mom attractive, and actually go through with the pregnancy until they give birth and realise…shit. 16 and Pregnant and Teen Mom have become my new favourite shows throughout this whole weird ordeal, and I made a point to watch every single episode, as well as go searching for any other baby related entertainment. I guess it gives me the baby fix I yearn for without actually having to give birth. It’s the weirdest thing because I realise how weird it is, but I can’t stop. I feel like I need to be around a baby or just hug a baby or something. Ah, the bane of being a female. Of course, I can’t wait to have children, but I want to be able to support them fully, not bring them into my living paycheck-to-paycheck life. I feel sort of frustrated that I’m wasting time thinking of babies that won’t come any time soon, but at the same time, it gives me that time to think and plan and make a logical decision instead of just…getting pregnant. So, my solution to the problem was to buy a notebook, and devote it too all of my baby thoughts. If I ever begin to think of them, I bring it out and write it down. It works! I’m happy to say, my obsession has subsided to just a stage of my life I’ll be excited for when the time comes, and my boyfriend is very relieved I’ve stopped planning our future children.

These Darn Whippersnappers!

Apparently people have been all in a buzz about the recent antics of a classy young lady by the name of Miley Cyrus. Miley is a Disney T.V. star who got famous playing Hannah Montana on that classic show we all know and love, Hannah Montana. Just like all the other Disney T.V. stars before her, she was absolutely riveting and obviously, when the show ended, it was only natural that she would continue to invade our lives with that angelic, soothing voice of hers. And, of course, make movies with her Dad, who is, I believe, ALMOST as talented as she. But that was before, because Miley doesn't even live with her Dad anymore! She's moved on to much bigger and older things! She is now in the process of revealing to the world just how sexually frustrated she was during her Disney times, and how now it all needs to come out in the open. On National T.V. In front of millions. Because, as a 17 year old girl who just discovered she likes penis, this is the smartest thing to do and she definitely won't regret it in a year or two.

First, she did a photo shoot where she showed her bare back (!) with just a sheet covering up the rest. I didn't think it was all that bad, I really didn't care. Because, honestly, I hate knowing about celebrities, and I try to give them the benefit of the doubt until it's impossible for me not to admit they're a douche. *cough*KanyeWest*cough* Then she started dressing sexy and made a video with her as a bird in a cage wearing lingerie. Again, I didn't care. I mean, yeah it's kinda weird that she's my youngest sister's age, so it kinda creeps me out thinking she's showing the goods to the kind of people that like 17 year old girls. Not good, but again, that's her prerogative. So, it was sort of mentioned in a conversation I was having where I was told that before she had released a bunch of "sexy" pictures of her in a bathing suit and other slinky things online, that she was dating a 20year old at the age of 15 and that she moved out of her parents house and is living with her boyfriend at 16. Again, in a normal world this would mean she would be a Senior in highschool.

I'm gonna admit, 17 wasn't long enough ago for me to forget how I was at 17, so I totally understand her behaviour. You are definitely confused and overly sexual around that age, of course, but there should be a filter that most people interpret as: their parents. Wouldn't your mom or dad just KILL you if you went on T.V. in less than a bathing suit singing about how all the guys give you "mad attention"? Even if they do...your parents! She's not even legal in Quebec!(18) And especially not in the States. And I know she's all hormoned out, but she was JUST a Disney star. You need some kind of calm before the storm! You can't go from having a kiddie line in Sears to flashing 80% of your vagina on award shows! And again, you're only appealing to people who like 17 year old girls! Everyone else thinks it's inappropriate and gross; why do it? You're not even getting positive feedback! Oh, but it's who she is now so leave her alone! HA! What a teen.

No one can say they didn't do stupid things at 17, but nobody was as stupid as Miley Cyrus to let the whole world see. If you're such a good actor, maybe you should try and act less like a douche, then maybe you'll realize that your new fan base will be just a bunch of balding, creepy middle-aged men.-->I had to include this picture! Look at the girl on the right of the stripper, she's thinking just like me. "Uhh...this is weird. Too far."
