x_losSome women's periods pass in near invisibility, leaving their hosts calm, pleasant people. I dread mine because the hormones rape me, leaving a raving lunatic who cries and leaves aim messages like "I hate you I hate you I hate you! Validate meeeeee! I wish I could make cabbage right! SOB" I accosted Colin in the library and shouted "I hate you for being a MAN!" "'Night, Erin." He responded, rolling over. I have a job interview in 12 hours, how can I go with teh CRAZY still controlling my system?!
Is it irresponsible and anti-feminist to have this semi 'I can't control my actions' respose to this time, and does it damage my credibility as an intelligent, autonomous person to be so thoroughly controlled by my body? Do I play up the responses to excuse my own poor behavior choices, or is the confusion and emotional turmoil I experience in these times authentic? Augh! Don't listen to anything I say for like, 24 hours, I'm probably just going to burble incoherently at you, cry over seeing a squirrel, arrange to back pack through Europe, and demand you come over and either watch Two Weeks Notice or DBZ. (It's the last bit that I find so unsettlling).
