1. PMS sucks this month. More so because of external things than hormonal things. I have been crying A LOT, for all the sadness in the world, for all the fear in the world, for all the fucked up-ness in the world.
2. I was in my local library and in the "Books For Sale" section, there was a Rush Limbagh book, "The Way Things Ought To Be". Out of Liberal curiosity to see how the "Dark Side" thinks, I picked it up and took a look. I came to a section on women in the military and here is a brief paraphrase: "I love women, in fact, I worship them and put them on a pedastel. But when it comes to women in the military, I have to put my foot down. And do you know why? PMS. Yes, PMS. Most men know that when women have PMS, they are some of the most viscious, violent and agressive people on the planet. Imagine putting a gun in the hands of a woman with PMS? She'll pull the trigger before it's necessary and bomb the heck out of innocent villagers before orders..." etc, etc.
OK is that FUCKED UP or what? I know when I have PMS, I want to crawl up with my cat and cry, I want to hold in my arms all the children in the world who are homeless, abused, sick or lacking. I want to grieve with all the mothers who have lost children. I want to scream at all the injustices and the environmental hell we are creating for the future humans on this planet. If I was to hold a gun when I had PMS, I would gently put in on the ground, fall to my knees and cry.
3. Prayers and thoughts of light to my sister, the reason I am crying so much. She is in a dark place at a very dark hour and facing her dark demons in a really big way....I hope I don't loose her...
sister,
pms,
stupid dumb people
