In other news, I really want to have an idea for a series, instead of just self-contained novels, but I think in order to do that you need an Overarcing Plot about saving the world and then a bunch of miniplots about the steps to get there, because you can't save the world every book, you kind of end up in a realm of "geeze, how many evil overlords are there?" And all my books are specifically centered on one evil overlord and the fate of one or two countries. Because again having a bazillion countries takes a ton of work. I need to come up with something involving a prophecy OF DOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM. (And probably more dragons.)
(Well, you know, have some TMI back at you--I've never worn a tampon and have absolutely no idea how that works. SO I have been there myself! What I would do in this situation is hopefully own a two-piece [which I just acquired one for my honeymoon so you know I would just wear underwear under the one-piece] and then just wear the top and some shorts over the bottom so nobody has to know whether you're actually wearing the bottom or just normal underwear, and hang out at the side of the pool and get your feet wet and just avoid actually getting in the water and, you know, if you can get the subtle hint* to one or two of the other girls that you know there [assuming they exist], they will understand and hopefully protect you from being bothered about getting in the pool. Or you could [I assume uncharacteristically] drink so much that it would be unsafe for you to get in the pool. Or you could drink just a little bit and then act like it was too much for you to get in the pool. If they're even serving alcohol. But I highly recommend the get-your-feet-wet-but-intimate-that-you-don't-intend-to-get-in, keep-your-shorts-on method. Hope that helps? *HUGS*)
*(examples: "I'm really not feeling up to swimming if you know what I mean" or "Do you have any Midol?" or "I. Don't. Feel. Good." With requisite glare, of course.)
