I'm in Iowa right now. Why? Well, since I'm enrolled in a few distance courses right now I occasionally need to get tests proctored. While E and I were living in Cincinnati I was able take them at the local library, however, after we moved I went to the Lexington public library and was told that they did not offer the service. What to do? Being the impractical person that I am, I decided to turn it into a month long trip to Iowa. Rest assured, there is some method to my madness. The school I attend is here, so I'm able to get my tests proctored at the university instead of arranging them at a random library. I'm also hoping to get the final wedding plans worked out during the next month, as well as spend time with my family and friends.
E and I drove out here last Tuesday, and got into my home town around 6. E then proceeded to take off right away to meet his friends in his hometown for slice night at their favorite pizza place while I spent some time with my family. He drove back the next day to see me before he headed back to Lexington and we spent some "quality" time together. At some point he asked how I felt about staying here for an entire month without him. To be honest, it hasn't been too bad yet. We've been able to talk quite a bit since we both have decent wireless plans. The worst part has been not being able to have sex.
The fact that I miss sex more than I'm missing the intellectual company of my fiance may seem rather callous, or vulgar to some. What you have to understand is, before I met E I hadn't found anyone I could even entertain the idea of having sex with, resulting in me remaining a virgin until the age of twenty. While I wouldn't say it's weird to be a virgin at twenty, it certainly seems uncommon to be an unintentional virgin (especially if you're a woman) at that age. *FYI an unintentional virgin is someone who has made no formal commitment to remaining a virgin, yet their virginity remains intact* Now that I do have sex, it's almost like I'm making up for lost time, and I certainly don't want to go a month without it! For the record though, if forced to choose between personality and sex I would choose personality (but it'd be a hard choice).
Other than lusting after a fiance I can't have, I've been keeping busy. Friday night I made (more like watched the making of) homemade macaroni with Heidi and Britt. I also got to see Britt's daughter, who's almost two now! Then on Saturday night Heidi and I hung out with Mike, his (pregnant!) wife Amber, and some other friends for awhile. Also, I'm planning a trip with my mom and E's mom to see our wedding venue. We're going to get a feel for the space so we'll be able to buy whatever decorations we still need while I'm here in town. This is going to be a busy month...

Fuck
Can people not keep their minds out of the gutter? Earlier today I told my dad I'd like money toward a camcorder for Christmas so E and I could make movies of our adventures together. As soon as I said that I knew I'd made a mistake...
Dad: I don't think I want you two making movies together!
Me: I didn't mean that type of movie Dad!
Soon after I texted E at work.
Me: I told my dad that we wanted money toward a camcorder for Christmas.
E: For what?
Me: To record stuff. Maybe our honeymoon or something.
E: I doubt our families will want to see that.
Me: *Sigh* You're just like my dad.
Seriously, who in their right mind tapes themselves having sex? And why would anyone who knows me think I might be interested in doing it? If I ever have to talk about something sex related with dad again I'm gong to kill myself. Just a tad too awkward for me.

Birth Control
I may need to switch to a new brand of birth control pill.
I started taking Kariva (a generic form of Mircette) at eighteen to help regulate my period. After starting I began getting my period every month, as opposed to once every couple months, and was fairly satisfied with the results.
The only negative thing I have noticed with Kariva is that although my period does come every month, my start date is almost always different from one cycle to the next. For example, I might get my period on the 22nd day one cycle and the next cycle it might start on the 24th. This wasn't really an issue the first two and a half years I was on the pill, since I wasn't sexually active. But now that I am, for my own mental sanity I'd appreciate a pill that could keep my start date regular.
Does anyone else have any experience with this issue, or have a pill that seems to work pretty well at regulating their start date? I'm very careful about taking my pill everyday at the same time, so that's not the issue. I really hope this issue can be resolved; each month I start my period late brings me a little bit closer to having a mental breakdown.

Excruciatingly Long Week
Have you noticed the week before vacation seems to go on forever? That's exactly what's happening to me right now.
My sublease in Iowa ends this month, so I need to make sure the place is cleaned from top to bottom before management comes in to asses for damages. Although this task should only take a few hours, E and I have managed to turn it into a week long vacation. We are officially the king and queen of senseless justifications! Senselessness aside, our main purpose for extending our stay was to spend some much needed time with our friends and families. I've been pretty homesick lately and I think E is missing his friends more than he cares to admit. I knew it was time to get him home when he actually expressed concern over one of his friends Facebook entries. Really? This coming from the man who hasn't called his best friend once since we've been dating, because it would seem like he "cared too much"? Guys are weird...
Exact plans for Iowa? I have a vague list of things I hope to do: attend my brother's 19th birthday party, hangout with my family, celebrate my best friends 22nd birthday, meet E's half sister, spend time with my friend Lydia, and just relax. I'm really excited to spend time with E's family, especially since it will be his dad's side. I've only met his dad once, but he seems great. I can actually see myself marrying into E's family, something I couldn't say about any of my previous boyfriend's families.
Besides being the week before vacation, this week is long for another reason. I refer to it as the monthly Week of Deprivation. Honestly, I waited twenty years to have sex. I think that was long enough! Why should I also have to abstain from sex 25% of the month, every month? Ugh! It doesn't help that E seems to look especially good during the third week of every month.
