i'm a moody person to start with, and right now i'm PMSing. i get REALLY severe PMS. i spent a good part of my day weeping (sometimes the tears were accompanied by an annoyed, "i have no idea why i'm crying, ughhh i hate hormonal cycles!") i'm totally unable to deal with anything today. nothing emotional, nothing physical, i just want to lay around

sounds like a rough day, davin. i hope things improve.

what is off the map about? i know crimethinc release a book by 2 womyn called Off The Map, which was all about their trip to europe, punk style... it was actually really good, and one of the authors also wrote a long zine called Half-Wild...

while i was looking for off the map last night i think i found the book you mentioned, which i think might be called off the road.

i've only just started the book, but so far it's about maps and the way we percieve ourselves in the world, like by seeing "you are here", you're not really seeing each blade of grass, the hills, or any of the monuments that are important to your history, or say, the history of your people. how maps are both an abstraction, and only through one person's eyes, who, she says, is "the empire's" eyes. and how, in the olden days of all of our ancestors, maps were oral, maps were songs, maps referenced a certain kind of bird singing or a certain rock. and now they more mark conquest than the actual land we live on.

it's pretty amazing.

holy shit. i hope you feel better, what shitty news.
on the pms tip, i know what thats like. i get super emotional and super crampy too. im definitely in a spot where i lose whole days due to my period. if you can get your hands on it try taking vitex (chaste tree berries). its an herb thats been known to lessen the symptoms of pms and relieve cramping pains. you have to take it for awhile for it to have an effect but it works i think.

i forgot to mention, i take vitex have have noticed an improvement. so maybe it might work for you too.

yeah, i was just reading about that herb LAST NIGHT, so next month i'll have to try it.

Oh man, I know exactly what you mean!!! I get really severe PMS too. Like now for example. I'll cry out of nowhere and have no idea why. I have a hard time dealing with anything when I start PMSing.

I'm sorry you had such a bad day =(
