A week earlier I was thinking of posting something, seeing that my birthday was coming up. I wanted to write about the things that make me happy, the changes I’ve gone through and all the things I’m grateful for. You see, the thing with my birthday is that it always falls on a PMS day. And for all the males out there who think that PMS is a lousy excuse for being, er, lousy, well shut up because you don’t know how it is.
I had written something down on a piece of paper, and it was nice and sweet and if it had a smell it would’ve smelled like flowers and strawberries with maybe a hint of vanilla, but of course I threw the paper away and now I’m left with nothing. No gratitude, not a thing I can think of which I’m happy about, and upon reflection all the changes I’ve gone through and all the challenges I’ve taken on only gives me crap results. So, I’m sitting here thinking, damnit, I’m 27 years old, my plant Bruno seems to be dying, my carpet is full of crumbs courtesy of my box of Frosties (which I eat all the time, without milk) and the weather is alternately sunny and cloudy.
Tomorrow will be a better day, and then it’ll be too late because my birthday will be over and will no longer be entitled to Special Birthday Attention. In the meantime, I’ll go bask in a Sulk Session while watching Radiohead clips on YouTube. I have the right ’cause it’s my birthday.

happy birthday Kala dear! Don’t worry, every woman i know goes through PMS (we call it PMT here in NZ). Beware of anyone who is directly in my path when I’m having one of ‘those’ days! haha

Belated Happy Birthday, Kala!
I actually wrote a post on PMS the same day you wrote this. What a coincidence.
Well, you should have more right to it since you are THE birthday girl.

You would cry too if it happened to you!!!
