Oh and.

For the last two nights I have had dreams in which I am either Alfred, from the Batman comics, or a comics writer working on a Batman story in which Alfred figures prominently. In both dreams, Alfred is/I am trying to stop Robin from committing suicide. In the one where I was almost certainly Alfred, he had made several attempts at death by drowning. In the one where I might have been the writer, he was working on a pills and liquor combination.

And I say unto you, That Shit Is Not Right. Number one, it is not fair that I should have had that unlikely combination of elements twice in a row. Number two, I know the boy is classically depicted with no pants, and there are all the rumors and everything, but really, it's not worth offing yourself over. Just buy some pants and get a girlfriend.

EDIT: And, speaking of nightmares, woman goes in to the doctor for stomach pain, as it happens, she's about to give birth to a baby she didn't realize she was carrying. This sort of thing freaks me right the hell out. Perhaps today will be a good day to call a doctor to discuss getting fixed. I'm practically thirty, maybe I can find someone who will take pity on me this time. At 18, 21, 25, and 27, I was told I was too young and would no doubt change my mind, and was therefore a poor risk for the procedure.

This might sound harsh and biased, but by the gods, I've been pregnant twice, and any woman who goes to term not even suspecting she's pregnant has to be as dumb as a sack of hammers.

The weight gain, possibly. Many other body changes, maybe. But the third trimester, when your abdomen goes through Pan Farr? Sorry, but nobody could think that's just gas.

I try to tell myself these things, but I have a persistent phobia about it; that somehow I could be pregnant and just not notice until it was too late to do anything about it. At which point I would have to shoot myself in the head. I understand it is irrational and unlikely, but that's what makes it a phobia, right?

Seriously

If one were seriously untuned to their own body I could even be convinced of getting through the first and most of the second trimester...provided there was no morning sickness and minimal weight gain....but really... No way could the third trimester pass for indigestion.

My thoughts exactly.
