I've recently started Yaz as my primary birth control method. So far, so good ~ meaning: no side effects & I'm not pregnant.
Why Yaz, you say? I'll admit...marketing sucked me in. The cutesy commercial really got my attention. But before I decided to tell my OB/GYN that Yaz was my choice, I did my homework. Their site (linked throughout this post, btw) is very informative. But I didn't stop there. For nearly two weeks, I read every Google & Yahoo!Answers post I could find.
This morning, I was wondering: Why isn't BC discussed more? When I had my first menstrual cycle, the sex & birth control talk came along with the package. But I was given the short version of everything.
Lucky for me, my over-analytical inquisitive nature kept me from turning into another case of Little Black Girl Lost. I quickly realized that the information I wanted wasn't going to fall in my lap, so I became proactive about it (remember: you are your body's sole protector).
So I ask:
Ladies: If you're using BC, what's your primary method? What made you choose this?
If you aren't using BC, why not?
Men: Is this something that you discuss with the lady (or ladies) in your life?

I LOVE YOU vs I LUV U
Me & my BFF homegirl Carrie were talking about this the other day & both agreed that it would be an interesting blog topic. (I <3 your opinions)
In our tech savy age, text messages & e-mails have made the love letter pretty darn obsolete. I too have found myself beaming sweet nothings into my sweetie's inboxes sometimes more than his ears.
With emoticons & abbreviations being standard for the uber texter, I ask this: Does "I luv u" carry the same weight as "I love you"?
For me, it doesn't. I see "I love you", and I can feel the words like a whisper. But "I luv u" (and its variations) come across as cheap as a knock-off.

GADGET ADDICTION
I was reading this article on pravda, and it got my mind wondering. Is tech addiction real? Better yet...am I tech addicted?!?
I have the AT&T Samsung Blackjack II. My first dabble in the pda/smartphone arena. My sister has the Crackberry Blackberry Curve. Its like some kind of advanced evolution struck me & this thing (I say "this" as apposed to "that" b/c its sitting right in front of me - of course) has become my new appendage. Now, I don't fall into the category of people who "forget about everything else, including food and sex", but "euphoria and ecstasy from buying a new gadget" or "inability to stay away from appliances for long", yea...that's me. Sadly, I realized just yesterday that I'm a member of the text~whilst~driving club.
Looking back, I've always gotten glitzy~eyed over electronics. I remember when Apple dropped the ipod. You better believe I paid that $300+ tab. And I've been computer obsessed since back in the day when it was still considered weird behavior.
Before I got my blackjack, I was all over ebay like a Trekkie @ Comic-Con because I felt like I just couldn't wait for my upgrade discount date. Heck, I get a delightful chill down my spine each time I walk into a Best Buy.
Are you gadget addicted?

INTEGRITY
in·teg·ri·ty [in-teg-ri-tee]
–noun
| 1. | adherence to moral and ethical principles; soundness of moral character; honesty. |
| 2. | the state of being whole, entire, or undiminished: to preserve the integrity of the empire. |
| 3. | a sound, unimpaired, or perfect condition: the integrity of a ship's hull. |
—Antonyms 1. dishonesty.
What ever happened to integrity? What happened to: I'm going to do this because it's the right thing to do. Or: I'm not going to do that because it's the wrong thing to do. Soon, I'm going to start a petition for the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service to list "People With Integrity" on the Federal Endangered Species List ~ somewhere between the Puerto Rican Boa and the Hawaiian Goose.
