Hormonal Madness
My brain has divided into factions. o_O
Usually I escape pretty lightly on the whole PMS-type hormonal moodswing front. Every once in a while, though, perhaps just to remind me that I am at their mercy, my hormones do a number on me. This month it is the post-period bloodthirsty, obsessive, and lustful number. *sigh* -_- Lovely, I'm sure, if I had to go out and hunt deer with my teeth while ensuring the continuity of the human race, but really, I could do without it.
Usually I prescribe myself tea and Blade of the Immortal, and try to ignore the obsessiveness. (I think last time the obsessiveness hit like this, it was with Hot Fuzz. -_-) This month, however, I was juuust getting over the "rabid" stage of my fangirling of all things Jägerkin and Girl Genius related, and getting nicely settled into the plain old "mostly sane fangirl" stage, when two things happened. First, I got the Sister to start reading Girl Genius, and second, my hormones said "HALLO!" Soooo...... now there's about half of my brain taken up with the Jägermonster camp, which combines both obsessiveness and bloodthirst, and "awwwwwww, cute!"
Most of the rest of my brain is frothing at the mouth and demanding a GOOD romance, darnit, and now! But those are so hard to find that I have given up. They are either entirely too vanilla, or too steamy. Either one is annoying, theough the latter more. So that's the Romance camp. It is Frustrated.
My poor bits of remaining sanity, meanwhile, cower in some corner of my brain and gibber. My self control, which I have taken to thinking of as the Brain Wardens, are trying to keep the two camps separate. Riot gear has been issued, and all attempts at breakouts by either party shall be met with all necessary force. Attempts at combining the two camps (Jägermonster romance, anyone?) is met with screams of "NO!" from my sanity, and the Brain Wardens beat the camps back. So far they've been very successful, with only a few breakouts, which were swiftly contained and smushed.
And then I started reading Twighlight, and about half my brainthings went "OOH! VAMPIRES!" and got distracted, and my Brain Wardens breathed a deep sigh of relief and muttered, "Oh thank goodness. Only vampires? We know how to deal with vampires." and shove the Vampire faction toward the mental keyboard. So expect some more Vampires With Bad Hair drivel soonish, when I can get my brain things lined up.
In summary: I am crazy and anthropomorphize my brain, and there will probably be more vampire drivel up here soon.
Also, hallo to the Puppydogs, who finally bookmarked my lj so that he can snoop while not on my computer! I was wondering how long that would take... ^_~ Hallo Huppy Dod! Now you can read about my insanity whenever you want. I refuse to self-censor, though, so there'll be just as much witless babble about hot actors as ever. I only love you, though. <3
