I don't suppose there will be any boys reading this. Too bad because it is them who need to hear it the most. We girls know what happens every month. Don't we? Our very busy uteruses grows itself a healthy thick lining in preparation for that egg that we drop every month, just incase it gets fertilized and we is going to grow a baby. Yup and if you are just like most other women then you did not get yourself knocked up and you are not going to grow no baby in there so guess what our uterus does then?

Well it don't need that thick lining anymore so it tears it of and pushes it out. Say? Have you ever experienced discomfort, pain, swelling and bloating? Well sugar, that is what that is! Is your body canalizing from you the part it no longer needs. Why is it that boys can't experience this lovely trick of nature? I sure would like to see there little buddies fall of every month only to grow back again. Wouldn't that be special?

Well, it aint going to happen and I will still be a girl tomorrow so pass the chocolate, the Midol, the hot water bottle and a cup of tea. I'll be fine in a few days!


From WebMD:
What is a menstrual cycle?
The menstrual cycle is the series of changes a woman's body goes through to prepare for a pregnancy. About once a month, the uterus grows a new lining (endometrium) to get ready for a fertilized egg . When there is no fertilized egg to start a pregnancy, the uterus sheds its lining. This is the monthly menstrual bleeding (also called menstrual period) that women have from their early teen years until menopause, around age 50.

10 months ago: I don't know, dude. I know you consider this an exercise in creative writing, but I never felt comfortable with the whole gender role playing scenario. You go ahead and pretend you are a woman, and I'll just keep being a man, and talk to you as if you are a man who is pretending to be a woman. I just hope you aren't carrying your writing to the levels that method actors use.
10 months ago: Wanda Says@ Cypress: Oh my you are so gruff. What a big Texas boy you are! You are still sweet as ever honey and I love you for that. Smooches!
10 months ago: Dude? Are you trying to pick me up?
10 months ago: Wanda says @ OOTB: Have you noticed that here on rant rave only certain topics get the most responses? I believe that is because there are only a certain limited amount of active members on rant rave that actually spend time contributing.

That is not to say that there aren't a lot of readers. I believe there are a lot more readers then there are contributors. However the majority of those readers don't write. Ever wonder why that is? I believe they don't write because they feel intimidated. The regular writers and commentators are mostly politically or religiously slanted. Both of these topics are usually kept out of polite living room conversation, consequently those that might have something to say might not say it because they are afraid to be type cast as either this or that.

My exercise in creative writing servers two purposes. First it allows me to figure out how serious people take themselves. The rant rave community is the best place to do this because I don't really know any of you and nobody really knows me. As far as anybody here is concerned I could be a 70 year old grandmother or I could be 16 year old teenager. I don't feel comfortable playing these mind games on real people but rant rave is a virtual community of opinions. Quite the fertile ground for seeing what makes people tick.

The second purpose my creative writing serves is to explore the boundaries of ideas. In the real world as I said before. It is not a good idea to tell your friends and families something that is not true just to see how far that particular idea can be expanded. People in general tend to react differently when they know something is make believe. In a virtual world ideas tend to take on a life of their own. Truth and Fiction are not boundaries. An idea online therefore can morph organically based upon the fuel of real opinions rather than the cultural boundaries of the real world.

By creating multiple personas, especially out in the open I allow people to make up their mind who to believe. Am I the conservative 40 year old family man? Am I the liberal gender bender? Am I the southern bell? Am I the Christian with cult like beliefs? Which of these personas appeal most to the rant rave readership?

Politically speaking some personas get more attention, albeit negative. However Religiously speaking other personas tend to be favored. One big observation I've noticed is that those that comment usually love an argument. They need a counterpoint. Where as those that only read don't. Some of the rants or raves with the most views have very few comments on them while some of the rants and raves with the most comments have relatively few views.

I don't suppose that rant rave could increase it's traffic by analyzing my various contributions and making changes accordingly but while writing under the pseudonym Siempre Solo I noticed that part of rant raves greatest asset is its greatest curse. People who write tend to have a lot to say while people who read tend to be looking for a voice to express their boxed up thoughts. Bringing them together in one form seems like the logical thing to do except that once that is done nothing has really changed. Those that write do so linearly attracting the same crowed and those that read will not declare publicly what there preferences are.

This leads me to my third and last reason to contribute creative writing essays to Rant Rave. I fell in love with Rant Rave's format. As frustrated as I got on different occasions I kept coming back because I knew that even if their were no comments coming in that writing at rant rave did not fall on deaf ears. Rant Rave has a devoted readership. The problem is the lack of two way interaction on topics that are not politically or religiously motivated. Perhaps by writing openly as different personas I can coaxes others to feel more open about contributing ideas that they might otherwise feel that would type cast them as
10 months ago: one or the other.

I hope this helps!
10 months ago: I think DJ is writing stuff like this to bring RR to a new low... some serious crap, unfortunately RR hasn't given us the option to just flush it !:]
10 months ago: Wanda says @ Truthbrary: Sure it has. You can flag a post if you find it objectionable. You can also give it a thumbs down if you don't think it was well written. Of course the best way to critique a written work is by explaining in the comment section, exactly what it is about an essay that you don't like. Calling something CRAP however without substantiating it is just plain immature. Love ya Darling!
