Chemistry Experiment

I was not together today.

I got into an argument with my father and Society Max about washing the dishes, and instead of being my usual infuriatingly logical bloody-mindedly stubborn self, I was shouting and was near tears. Then again at the bagelshop, although I did not let anyone see, I found myself irritated by things and wanting to yell, or to go into the washroom or in a corner and cry. This is not my usual self; I have not felt anything near this for five weeks straight, and I wondered what it was. I only spoke to two people before the argument, both online and one turn-based, and neither of them can I imagine affecting me with willful harm. This is the wrong time of the month for this, and last month happened fine without it. I have heard that such emotional instability often happens in the early stages of pregnancy, but if I am pregnant, I am so going to sue the pants and robe off that Archangel Gabriel for not following precedent and making me an Annunciation of this fact. (Aside: Gabriel, you tell a sixteen-year-old girl that she is going to get all of the misery of pregnancy with none of the fun of sex, and you have the gall to call her blessed among women?)

So yes, I am not  fully together. Furthermore, I may be slightly insane from the possession by a pair of earrings. Yes, I did mean to write "by" and not "of."
