Here is a thing that is weird.

I can't say that things that are weird are going to be a major component of this blog, but here's one to start us off.

So imagine that you had a really bad case of sinus congestion. You have sinus pressure going on, sinus headaches, etc. You're really miserable. Your friend tells you about this nasal spray that works really well for her. You try it out, and it's like heaven, it feels so good. It totally relieves all the symptoms you are having. But then, you read the warning packet insert, and in the small print it says that using this particular nasal spray may cause a small creature to lodge inside your sinuses. This small creature may actually lodge itself into the mucous membrane lining your sinus and begin to suck nutrients out of your flesh. It will grow larger and stronger with these nutrients, and will eventually grow so large that your face will start to become swollen and disfigured. This creature will continue to grow and suck nutrients and disfigure you for several months before it dislodges itself from your sinuses and attempts to exit your face via one of your nostrils. This will be incredibly painful and will require you to go to the hospital, and most likely your nostril will never be the same.

Okay, now ask yourself: would you EVER use that nasal spray, ever again? No, right? That's the most terrifying nasal spray ever. And yet (and I'm assuming you've figured out this is a metaphor for pregnancy) and yet, chicks are like, "Hey, getting pregnant is not the most terrifying thing I've ever considered. It seems totally normal! Hey, that boy is really cute, I'm not at all petrified of the possible side effects of having sex with him!"

That is a thing that is weird.
