I always get a bit weirded out when people go into too much personal detail on their blogs, so I'll keep this brief. Period pain sucks. Who the hell decided that the whole being a woman thing should be so sucky?

I did read an interesting analysis of PMT the other day. Apparently, some scientists think that women get it to 'chase off' blokes who haven't impregnated them that month. Would make sense particularly given that me and most of my girlie mates didn't start getting PMT till our mid twenties - prime baby-making age. Is a tad unfair, particularly given that some of them don't even *want* babies. On the plus side, it gives a good excuse for excessive chocolate consumption, watching shite films and being all shouty.

Off to drink some gin. Doctors may not recommend it but when it comes to curng period pain, nothing beats ibuprofen and gin.
