THE CALM BEFORE THE STORM

This is for the ladies-Hell, maybe men too, since you penis' also have a monthly cycle, but it's more mental...

Ever get that feeling of contentment right before PMSing? Everything seems to be going right, your skin is flawless and you find yourself smiling for no reason? You've got your weekday routine down pact, with nothing out of the ordinary veering you off track? You're getting along with people and even taking the time to listen to what they have to say, instead of just waiting for your turn to speak?

Then about five days later, you want to ram your car into the nearest Ben&Jerry's...You know, because it cuts out that whole parking and walking up to the counter thing.

While in college, I started (never finished) a research project on my notion. I called it the calm before the storm.I surveyed about 60 females and ultimately,their responses supported my personal hypothesis that (I'm not psycho)there must be a surplus of some type of hormone (I'll call it happy juice for lack of anything better)that releases right before we get bitchy. This is what I think:

Right before we PMS, our glands (I think it's pituitary?) empties out all the happy juice so that we can exert it, so our glands can have enough room to fill up with an excessive amount of estrogen, that causes our PMS bouts...Just enough to turn us into emotional wrecks. Are you still with me? So that calm before the storm feeling is that high we get from our bodies rush to use up all the happy juice so it can flood us with PMS juice...Am I making sense? Well that's what's going on with me this week. I'm in my monthly calm before the storm period (hence, the freakish confident look I have in previous post).

Moving forward, I think I'll refrain from blogging while under the influence of caffeine and Red Bull...
