For those who know my quirks and qualms....there are 2 major issues that I am in "denial" about.

1. I am a small woman
2. PMS is real

Quirk #1
Throughout my highschool and much of my University career, most of my peers happened to be Asian. In these volatile coming of age and getting to know yourself teen years, I had always felt a little odd among my peers. For one, I'm not completely Asian so I look nothing like them. Like the song from sesame street, "One of these things just doesn't belong here..." I always felt like I stuck out like a sore thumb in the crowd. Mostly becuase i was always a head taller than all my friends. I tried to feel like i fit in as much as I could. But reality sunk in and I faced the fact that I just have to accept my role as the big fat tall girl who hovered among her pretty petite friends.
So fast forward a few years to where I have some new friends and am working with a whole new sea of people in the corporate world and I'm suddenly called "small" or "cute"

HUH???

I've never felt like a small or cute person, so this concept is strange for me to grasp.

Quirk #2
I've never believed in this myth called PMS. IT's always seemed like such a cheap way out to excuse moody behavior. I never like to attribute my flux in attitude or appetite to PMS.
Period.

Though today i really couldn't get a grasp on my emotions. I was just so damn moody and sensitive...and there was really no good reason for it. One minute i was laughing and joking around, the next minute rage. Out of freaking nowhere. I also felt like i was always hungry. I tried explaining these feelings to my lovely co-worker, L, and she asked me with a smile, "are you expecting your period soon?" Yeah, so it's due on Saturday....what's that have to do with anything??

So maybe to the average person these 2 quirks seem pretty obvious, but to me..........well maybe i'll see it one day.
