It is going to be so hard to survive this weekend knowing you will all be at Serenity 2 having oodles of fun without me. And I'll be here, probably still sniffling.

Oh well, at least HP4 comes out this weekend. Something to look forward to.

And then there's the Crazy Scottish Browncoat Papparazzi. And all the pictures. That's definitely something to look forward to.

Cos-the full moon makes all of us a little crazy, I think. Me, too, only I don't draw or write, but I do get that itchy skin feeling. Loony Loony Luna.

ReallyKaylee-No, I haven't seen that one yet, but I really want to. I've seen previews for it, and Al looks amazing. I just recently saw the Twelfth Night with Helena Bonam Carter as Olivia, though.

I once saw The Merchant Of Venice at a theatre. With Dustin Hoffman as Shylock.

With regards to the influence of the full moon (and the other planets), I always remember what the great Patrick Moore once said on the matter: that, in terms of gravity at least, they have about as much influence on us as a passing double decker bus has.

I disagree with that, Rel. I think it does have an effect on us. Well, the moon, not so much the other planets. On account that I am female and my entire infrastructure is woven around the ebb and flow of the tides, the waxing and weaning of the moon, the 28 day cycle of life and death and rebirth.

Remember the time when all us TR females had our periods on the same day? (The day all you men look back on with fear and trembling, I'm sure.) You know what day that was? It was the new moon.

Well, I can only speak for gravity. We're passing acquaintances, drink at the same pub, that kind of thing.

Otherwise... no clue

I'm not privy to the secrets of the universe, what makes you think I'd know about something even more complicated than that: how women work?

The new moon thing was probably a coinicidence, though. It's not like *every* female-type person was in the same state that day, was it?

...

God, I hope not.

I know I can't speak for all women, or even try to understand us (I can't understand myself!) but there are a few basic truths to womenkind. One is that any normal, healthy women's body, left to its own devices and uninfluenced by outside forces, will set itself in sync with the moon. That is, she will ovulate at the full moon and menstrate at the new moon. It has been common knowledge for millenia that the full moon is the best time to try to conceive.

So it wasn't a coincidence that we all had our periods on the same day, it was just nature.

And men have hormonal cycles, too, you know.

This is a weird topic of conversation.

Kinda icky, huh?

I have no idea if it really does align completely to the moon or not... it's not a subject I've ever given much thought to, y'know?

There's a certain sense to it, of course; most creatures follow a cycle that aligns to some big natural cycle, whether it be night and day, summer and winter, tides, or pub opening hours.

I imagine us poor, bemused fools do have hormonal cycles too... but what the hell are they? It's not like they are as, ah, externally obvious...

We are pretty stupid alot of the time, does that count?

lol!

I remember I dated a guy, years ago, who used to always get really pissy once a month. I remember he used to blame it on me, saying I was pmsing or something and therefore being grouchy and blaming him, but it wasn't me. It was him. He had male PMS or something. Very annoying.

So, I opened up the fridge at work today and there was a huge wedge of jarlsburg cheese in there (amongst other things, there's a banquet tonight) and now all I want is a jarlsburg sandwich with cucumbers and dijon mustard.

Wow, that sandwich sounds really icky. Also, interesting fact in light of your weird random conversation - do you know that women who live in the same house will always menstruate at the same time? It's true.

You confused me for a moment, Serenity - I thought the cheese thing was part of the story!

And yes, Queenie, I did know that. No idea why I know that fact and so little else about that subject, though. I think the reason for it is to make men's lives even more difficult around that time than it would already be.

Yet another piece of evidence that tells us God is female.

If you had been at a boarding school where you'd have 60 odd girls living in the same house together, you learn that fact pretty quick.

I do believe the moon cycle has an effect on us but I think it's more a light thing than a gravity thing. Besides... moonlight is very romantic. Fleeting glimpses of nudity in the silvery light...

Not always true. I tend to have roommates with irregular cycles that throw me out of wack. But it does happen, and it's kind of nice. Misery likes company and all that.

A couple of months ago I was at the beach during the full moon. Midnight moonlit walks are VERY romantic.

That's true. How else would you arrange for the males to strut around being violent to each other and looking stupid all at the same time?

So they messed up your hair at the salon again?

Is this what the problem is?

Okay, I have a 2 step solution. It's simple really.

1) We kick the butts of the evil salon people who messed up your hair and made you pay for it until they beg for mercy and give you your money back AND fix your hair so it looks better.

2) You wear a cute hat to S2. Nathan will just think you have keen fashion sense.

And it's probably not nearly as bad as you think it is. Really!!

Is it one of those flippy hairdos? Where the ends stick out? They're cute.

What about clips or barrettes or something? There must be SOME way to fix the hair without taking 3 hrs.

I still think cute hat is the way to go. Do you have a Jayne hat? Because that is always appropriate attire for a con.

I have just returned from Rome! (I mean the hairdresser) She styled it all anchorwoman (aaaak! gaaaak!) so we're laughing about 'our top story tonight' and I realized it wasn't anchorwoman hair, it was Condolezzzzza hair, so I went all Condoleza dominatrix on them. My hairdresser screamed and made me get back in the chair and re-did it. That was fun!
