The BESH 30s TTC thread in the world EVER - 2010

[CUNextTuesday]

C'mon girls, this is the year. We will form a circle and concentrate hard on diffment.

Meanwhile, David and Jenson have popped the corks and are pouring out the Bellinis. Truckle of stilton anyone?

cho I got weird shit in my womb too sistah! And I still dunno wassgoinon...

And gin's Word of the Day is 'Shit'.

Really must work on my vocabulary.

I'm v. ashamed of myself for selfish self-pity over slight mentalist ishoos in comparison to some of this biz and am shuffling out, quietly shutting door behind me on my way out, bidding well to everyone like a mad thing etc. etc..

scorpette though I am naught but a fucking upstart newbee I was thinking 'where is she of the Studious Studies; I hope all's well' yesterday so there it is.

medee you do know that the CBFM is a MENKUL machine dontcha????? I hated mine so much I gave it to scropy but I don't fink she uses it - cos it shunned her early on or summink...

I do, don't worry oinky but with a 42 day cycle, I gotta be doing something. Can't start it till next cycle anyway, now, so maybe I won't need it.

that necklace is lovely.

I got one o dem macheens and i hate it - drives me mental but its like i'm addicted man.

ok. reeely want a bottle glass of wine tonight - i know it iz bad for the baybees but may i?

sal fuck yeah.

cheers gin

cho was thinking,is slightly shit the way they tell us bout stuff sometimes innit? I mean,being told 'hmm,look at that' before you can be given an explanation is bound to cause utter google mentallism some concern.

Mine was a radiologist ultrasoundy person saying 'you have a lot of adhesions at the top of your uterus...oh you had 2 erpcs close together? Hmmm yes' and NOTHING ELSE on the subject when I had 1st dildocam on last pg.

Now of course,given that I then had ectopic mc,and no one told me nuffink,I done did the google shiz,and now I'm a tad perturbed...

On the plus side I have managed to get gynae app a month earlier so now only have to wait til 19th feb... Sounds like I will be having similar stuff to you,laproscopy been mentioned to check tube,obv they gonna check adhesions too... Not sure on their plan for reviewing my ladybits til after app I guess.

But I have 'cobwebs' in my womb!!!! How beshy is that?

Sorry that was supposed to be support not just blaaaaaaah meeeeeeee.....chuggachuggachocho I am now going to bundle you. I expect other beshes to follow shortly.

Cheers sal it's also Friday,which I believe means tequila...

Aw, thankee Eadbanger . Tis nice to be missed. I'm here all weekend and every Tues and Wed. Try the fish, it's our special. I don't take requests.

Where was I? Oh yeah. I'm not doing my PhD at the mo - was deferred due to lack of cashola Have places at 2 separate unis, acksherley but still can't get no lucre. Topic will become irrelevant soon I have a lowly and rubbish but fun n groovy p-t job. BTW, you should've witnessed the hilarity on Boxing Day of me trying to explain what Critical Theory is to TYF's family, as his Aunt was bizarrely aggressively quizzing me on my academic leanings, etc. (she didn't hold with 'book learnings'). Did not help to have TYF murmuring shit like 'now explain Lesbian Continuum Theory to her' and 'go on, chat about Dialectic Materialism' in my ear.

Sorry - once a Critical Theory nerd, always a Critical Theory nerd.

Piggsy did indeed most kindly give me her CBFM but, despite TYF and I both having poncy academic qualifications coming out of our collective wazoo, we can't get it work proper-like It resolutely stays loyal to the Piggster's cycle. On the plus side, it has told me some quite shocking secrets about her home life

And I want that necklace, it's gorg.

ead don't worry by the way,is what this place is for!

Bundle!

No? Ok, I'll slope off back to the housework then. what have my Fridays nights come to? (house viewing tomorrow, please cross BESH fingers, if you're not all out having fun)

So what do CBFMs do to fuel the menkulness? I suspect I should probably avoid them but am now intrigued.

Scorps, what is Critical Theory then? (Sorry, have unending nosiness about other people's PhDs even non-happening ones. Have already grilled Ead so now it's your turn).

Cho I'm also in the pathetic about needles club - not sure whether that means I should have more sympathy for you having lots but not minding, or your boyf having not many but hating them. Midwife sister has been gleefully telling me for years how much blood they'll want out of me if I ever have babies. I was v good and let them take some out of me for the first time ever this time last year - they needed to check my HepB antibodies and decided to check rubella at the same time (I think I mentioned maybe wanting to ttc at some point in the distant future) so at least I know that's all OK, assuming that's what the strange message they gave me when I phoned up for the results actually meant.....

ah, now, I read something about how to reset it, I shall come back to you, Scorps.

Just for IggyPlop - Bumsex O'Clock!

Just for Ocarinaroony - here's a quote demonstrating some basic C T (this is Gender Studies stuff, from one of the most-used book for my MA):

"Performativity cannot be understood outside of a process of iterability, a regularized and constrained repetition of norms. And this repetition is not performed by a subject; this repetition is what enables a subject and constitutes the temporal condition for the subject. This iterability implies that 'performance' is not a singular 'act' or event, but a ritualized production, a ritual reiterated under and through constraint, under and through the force of prohibition and taboo, with the threat of ostracism and even death controlling and compelling the shape of the production, but not, I will insist, determining it fully in advance."

From: Bodies that matter, Judith Butler (93).

I love that shit

And we too read how to reset it. It refuses to give up on Iggy coming back to it. I haven't dares tell it yet that she got diffed without it

But please send me a link if there is one - would really like to get it up and running and any extra tips would come in v handy

I iz on holiday tomorrow. Rock!

Ouch - that made my brain hurt. Doesn't help that I'm not sure what performativity means - is it just any kind of action or is it more specific than that? Sounds to me like she's arguing for predetermination of everything, but then at the end says she's not. Or am I completely confused?

As for how it relates to gender studies, I'm lost completely. This is why I spent years putting things in test tubes I think, all these ideas hurt my head. So I'm impressed at your cleverness and think someone should fund your PhD immediately (which would probably lead to immediate diffment, just because life tends to be complicated like that).

Work is finally finished, apparently the packing is done, so I too iz on holiday tomorrow.

Don't have too much fun without us

You're not coming on holiday with me are you Ocarina?

Judith Butler! scorps I love you. Really. Apart from my beshtest pal what I did my Wimmin's Studiez Mst wiv, no one knows about JB. You are v clever & special.

Camelz, you're my Wombynz Studiez MA twin! We gots the same quals, huzzah! Judith Butler ROCKS! One of the things I first hearted about TYF was that he knew who she is (although being a Butterflies & Wheels devotee, he thinks she's a bit waffly). You're clever and speshul too

That bumsex thread made my day. Also does everyone bother with that showerheadhose biz? oops...

Hey scorps I have a brain-crush on you now. My studiez consist of drinking whisky (on my supervisor's advice) and thinking "Hm, shall I make it rain? Or howsabout a light mist? Or .... oooo .... I could do thunder, that's like an actual pathetic fallacy that is! Nah, I'll just go with a low-lying fog....I think I'd better have a long bath and give it some more thought" etc. etc. ad nauseam.

In other news I spunked forty squids on sticks to piss on yesterday. Have discovered am not making an nice little eggy even though I should be THIS MINUTE. I think it's pretty clear that my ovaries have packed it in and all that snot last week was me hocking up my fertility into manky tishooos.

Teeeeeeeny possibility that OvSticks are counter-productive. PRODUCTIVE! God, I'm funny.

i'm ill......felt sick all day yesterday and in fact was. Couldn't keep anything down until late afternoon. Got up this morning, feeling nauseous, and have just been sick. So of course now i'm thinking 'how early does morning sickness start?'.....too early to POAS, though i've not been counting days this month but i'm 8 days past OV (cos i do know what day that happened). I'm just ill aren't i? I must not get my hopes up.......
