The universe has been nagging me to write a blog for awhile now and I keep telling it to go to hell because who cares about my life and also because I don’t know things about the internet. I’ve been home in good ole Hereford, MD for a few months now but I was traveling and exploring in Australia, NZ and Bali last year. Then probably would’ve been a better time than now to start this thing but here I am, mid quarter life crisis, writing a blog with a period name but not about periods much at all.
The name? I decided, full-on, two weeks ago that I was going to start the blog but I was torturing myself over what to name it, so naturally I went through all names relating to eggs, philosophy and feminism. I knew the blog would certainly include these three things at some point along the way as they are the three non-person, most important things to me. Here are some of the options:
- The Washed Up Philosopher (meh)
- Philosopher Until Graduation (meh)
- Out of Cuntrol (I love the word cunt but people literally recoil at it. More importantly, I feel it’s my duty to give my sister a grace period for stealing this name as a platform for her “angry feminist,” teen ranting, She’s smarter and better.)
- Sunny Side Up (already taken by a mormon lady who has her shit together and posts stuff people care about like pretty couches and back-to-school organizing.)
- Over Easy (Tried to make this mean something but couldn’t.)
- Egg Lover (I just love eggs.)
Then one day I forced myself to go to work with my dad at our family marina and I was walking to the bathroom and thinking about flow (like being one with yourself and nature and stuff) and as I was emptying my Diva Cup and the quote from Mean Girls about a heavy flow popped in my head and I said yep! That seems good! (For the record I’ve never actually had a heavy flow but I just recently got an IUD and now I’m like popping iron everyday and wondering if there will ever be a day when I don’t ruin all my underwear…so that’s ironic I guess. I should call my doctor. I will.) So I went back into the marina office and created this bad boy! Right when I paid for my domain my friend texted me back and it went like this:
Me: Eggsistence Over Easy
Me: Is that just a blog about eggs?
Me: Sunny Side Up Eggsistence
Bonnie: What does this mean?
Me: My blog! What about Pussy Parlour?
Me: Welcoming Weird
Me: Mastering Mystery
Me: Egg Lover
Bonnie: Egg Lover is the wonder
Bonnie: And the winner…
Me: God dammit Bonnie! I named it A Heavy Flow
Bonnie: Ha.
I guess this post has been a lot about periods.
