|| from the desk of estrogen and progesterone, party promotion extraordinaires. ||

we, the hormonal chemicals of jennifer h's body, have decided to mix things up on this, the dawning of yet another menstrual cycle. in addition to the regular mood swings and emotional outpourings, there will be an over-the-top parade of the dastardly and already decidedly volatile combination of characteristics dictated by the astrological sign of cancer, a particularly emotional and sentimental personality, and this, the exxtreme hormone brigade of champions. witness the scene in mr. mopps' toy store when j.h. notices the victorian dollhouses and remembers how her mum made one, complete with handmade furniture and floor coverings, in 1984. witness the breakdown while working very hard on final school projects (we'd like to thank adrenaline for making the stress levels pop! jazz hands!) and watching a wedding show on tv, especially the part when the bride tells her dad she loves him and then cries on his shoulder (please note for future reference that dads are an excellent trigger). witness the welling up while driving to ann and conchita's baby shower, for babies are yet another weepy trigger. the old lady in the house coat stooped over and gardening on the corner made it a little too easy, but we'll take that episode too. we are riding this cresting wave, adding floats and marching bands and beauty pageant winners letting the mascara run into the gutters at every opportunity, just to see how far we can take this mighty parade until our powers subside and we have to wait around again. thank you.
