Why Do Weird Things Only Happen to Me?

Seriously!

Okay, so today, I went to my "girl doctor" and I won't go into specifics, because that's grody. 
But the whole appointment I wasn't feeling great. 
I haven't been in two years, and I needed a renewal on birth control. 
I walk into the office, and was the only patient in there.
I was kinda annoyed with the staff before today, because I was called 3 times in the last month to change my appointment. On the 4th time they called, I complained that it was "unacceptable and unprofessional" to make me change my appointment 3 times, let alone a 4th! 
They let me keep my appointment, but asked the name of the person who had called the 4th time. 
I'll call her 'J' for the sake of privacy.
They told me on the phone call, that J would be made aware of my feelings and they apologized for her. 
(Sidenote: I hate getting people in trouble, but I also should not have to come back from a week long cruise, to a telephone message telling me to change my appt for a 4th time).
So I walk into the office and hear the name J, after I signed in. 
Guess what?!?? 'J' graduated from my high school with me and was actually standing next to me during graduation! What a surprise! 
She also apologized to me in the office today.
I felt so awkward and bad.
We were both looking pretty humiliated.

Okay, now to my appointment:
Well, I passed out in the middle of it. 
Like I remember being in those Gosh-awful stir-ups one minute, and waking up laying down with a cold water bottle behind my neck 30 mins later. 
I was in my skivvies, so I changed, and walked out of the appointment room, and my doctor ran up to me telling me what had happened as I was paying 'J' the copay.

So then I left feeling super awkward, went to Starbucks to reward myself for, well, being me living through the humiliation.
And then bought some Junior Mints, because yeah, I needed some sugar. 

If any of you had an awkward day today, please allow my story to turn your frown upside-down!

Weird Facts

Today, my curiosity has gotten the best of me. Also, I have been researching some interesting topics, and thought it would be great to share with y'all.

1. Their is a woman who appeared on today's episode of Anderson, who married herself, complete with a ceremony, a ring, and vows. She repeats her vows daily to herself in the mirror.

Talk about Forever Alone! I put this as my status this morning, and I've gotten a significant number of likes. Obviously, many find this quite interesting.

2. People of Irish decent are more likely to have gluten intolerance/ Celiac Disease. 

I am severely allergic to gluten. Additonally, I'm half Irish. My first name is Eileen, my middle is Patricia, if that didn't set off the Irish alarms, I don't know what would!

3. I read awhile ago, that there is a family in the United States who have not revealed the gender of their child (who was just a baby when the article came out) and don't plan to. They want to keep their child "genderless" so as to allow the child to chose it's own gender identity.

This was intriguing.
But that child is going to grow up to have serious issues.
Why can't they make a political statement, without involving their innocent child?
*Also, the grandparents didn't even know the gender. Only the parents and the brothers and sisters.
** Yes, they already had kids, who were not genderless. Their last child is the only genderless one.

Weird Questions I need answers to!

1. Are people of Irish and Scottish heritage the only ones who develop red hair?
2. Are there people who classify themselves (gender-wise) as something other than female, male, or even genderless? Basically, is their other gender classifications that I have yet to learn of?


Also! 
This is the first time I've gotten over 1 million in Temple Run! Sorry, I had to share. Ignore the fact that I've had this app since March. If you have any other fun app games, please share! :)

That's all I got for today,
Talk to y'all on the flip side ;)
