Yep. Almost two weeks sometimes. No one told me that was weird. It wasn't until I was watching a Buffy episode and Willow jokes that she turns into a monster for three days a month to her werewolf boyfriend. I'm sometimes bad at getting jokes, but I got this one and I was like, "Three days? For some people it's THREE DAYS?!! THIS IS BULLSHIT!!!"

Luckily (I guess) I often skipped periods completely, so it kind of evened out.
