I can always tell when I'm PMS-ing
I want to eat all food in the house. ALL OF IT. Especially the salty foods. Chips, cheese, rice, pizza…I’m about to down the sea salt.
Also, the extra heavy boobs. Dead giveaway.

I’m cautiously optimistic for California’s marriage equality. Here’s hoping it spreads to other states!
