Calling All Bloggers

I need help.  As I have mentioned in previous entries, I have only scratched the surface of the internet underworld.  I am looking for interesting blogs to read, but am coming up short.  I don’t know how to find what I’m looking for! 

So if you have any suggestions, I would really appreciate them.  Please share your favorite blogs with me so I can check them out and find some new reading material

Things I am not interested it:

Blogs that chronicle people’s illnesses and doctor’s visits, blogs about infertility or breastfeeding, blogs that just ramble on about text messages.  (This may sound weird, but these are they types of blogs I keep stumbling upon!  And they’re annoying!)

Things I would love to find:

Blogs about conspiracies, blogs containing interesting political and/ or cultural information, music blogs, art blogs, funny blogs (not just funny YouTube videos), rants, and inspirational/ spiritual blogs.

So, in the meantime I will be searching on my own, but if anyone has any suggestions or would care to share their favorite blogs with me I would greatly appreciate it!

Always learning and exploring…

How to not kill your significant other while PMSing

Since that first glorious day of womanhood (what a wonderful transition… 14 and in diapers again!) I have experienced PMS quite similar to demonic possession.

For years I have transformed from normal, well-adjusted girl to werewolf.  Screaming, crying, eating everything in sight, etc. etc…. you all know how it goes.  But to me PMS has been much more than a headache and being a little moody.  My PMS has hindered my life and left me virtually disabled for a week out of every month for the past 10 years. 

During this pre-menstrual psychosis my husband hides in fear, temporarily mute for fear of an outburst… moping around like an abused dog.  My mother fears answering the telephone, and spends countless hours telling me the same thing to calm me down- she doesn’t dare mention pms though for fear of me dramatically snapping back “no it’s not!  there’s something WRONG with me!  don’t you understand?!?!?”, and I pity any poor fool who dares to cut in front of me in line or whistle at me as I walk down the street.  Forget headaches and cramps… that would be wonderful.  When I have pms it’s like having a brain-eating fungus that transforms me into a giant female praying mantis. 

Then, after a few days or a week… back to normal.  Fine.  Great, actually, thanks for asking.  This is ridiculous, I should be able to function as a human being during this time, if I feel a little down then that’s okay… but my pms has affected my relationships with people, my jobs, my bank account, and my own opinion of myself! 

No prozac for me though…. enough failed attempts with pharmaceuticals have forced me to swear off anti-depressants… for me they made matters much much worse… another rant altogether.  PMDD commercials got me thinking… but again, I don’t want to have to get a prescription filled.  I may smoke and drink and try the occassional hallucinogen, but my body is a temple (insert irony)!  No way am I taking something actually prescribed to me!  (Silly I know, honest though!). 

So… after much research and experimentation, and my whole point here… I discovered Evening Primrose Oil.  My angel, my savior.  This supplement, for me, has saved my life.  I swear by it.  For some reason, taking three capsules of EPO every day has toned down my pms to normal levels.  I no longer find myself weeping on the floor, eating like an elephant, or violent.  This supplement, when taken correctly, works!  Of course, do your research, blah blah- don’t be an idiot.  But if you too, turn into a bloodthirsty maniac once a month and have not yet found a cure… talk to you doctor and give it a try.  It worked for me and probably prevented me from killing someone!  A much better alternative than a silver bullet or a stake through the heart.

Forget it

Okay, so after a morning of doing this whole blog thing the only thing I know how to do is set up links and write posts.  But less is more, I say, so I apologize for the dull page.  Hopefully some day I will figure out all the bells and whistles of having my own page!  If anyone has any good websites with instructions for this kind of thing (that are easily understood by beginners!) I’d appreciate some help! 

thanks!

Does anyone know how I can put my paint drawings up?  I feel they are really socially relevant and showcase my talent and would like to share…
