Strange Childhood Beliefs

Apparently there's a meme.

We're actually supposed to post ours in our LJ but I already commented. For the sake of participation, though, I'll put them up here too.

Strange Childhood Beliefs

1. I was only going to get my period once. :| The sex ed talks were all "This is what you do when it happens" and "It means you're a woman", not "YOU'RE SUFFERING THIS MONTHLY FOR THE REST OF YOUR REPRODUCTIVE LIFE."
   
   Though I always DID wonder how pads got the money for advertising. :|
   
   
2. The naked transformation scenes in Sailormoon were pornographic. (Yet I watched it weekly.)
   
   
3. Women didn't get pubic hair. Oh, how I despaired! (I resisted believing I had to shave well into my first razor purchase. :|)
   
   
4. I can exit a portal in my room and drop right into an anime world. This idea was conceived of at the tender age of, oh, fourteen. :|
   
   
5. Some day I'd die and they'd publish my diary like Anne Frank's, and I had better write something good. (I tried to make it dramatic, but it's just really funny now, and if I could find it, I really really want to burn it in case someone digs it out and publishes it just to shame me.)
   
   
6. Added, because I like the number 7: I'm special enough to make a difference in the world. Oh, the idealisms of wide-eyed youth.
   
   
7. Added: One day, I'll be able to get my 20/20 vision back. :| (I got glasses when I was eight.)

I repeat: if there is a Neverland out there, my happy thoughts are ready, just hand over the pixie dust. :|

PS: GIP. Pretty.

1. The whole menstrual thing STILL doesn't make much sense to me. :(

7. AHA! I know, I'm waiting until I'm old enough to pay for it myself and it's really more reliable, though one of my friends had laser surgery done and it's been good so far. I like my glasses though. :|

Ooo, I totally thought number 1 too!

And I LOVE your mood theme. Hee. Nicely done.

HAH. I can't believe they MISLED US. I was all "Let me sign up to be a boy, this isn't in the contract!"

*beams* Thank you!

Indeed. :\

6. Good for you. I thought I'd do it by hosting a talk show, like Oprah. :))
7. Sad day, huh? One day I'll get enough money.

One day, dude, one day. ;)
