I found a new PMS emotion! Severe shock. I read in an old friend’s blog that he was LA-bound this weekend, a mere 30 miles away from me, while I was chatting with him online on Instant Messenger. So I instantly wrote to him:

Me (10:58:13 AM): You’re in LA this weekend?! When???
Friend (10:58:26 AM): oh right now!
Me (10:58:41 AM): YOU’RE IN LA RIGHT NOW???
Friend (10:58:46 AM): yeah!
Me (10:58:55 AM): ?!?!
Me (10:58:59 AM): WHERE???
Friend (10:59:06 AM): haha in santa monica
Friend (10:59:20 AM): over at [another friend’s apartment] right now
Me (10:59:24 AM): !!! When’d you get in???
Friend (10:59:54 AM): yesterday afternoon
Me (10:59:58 AM): WHAAAAAT???

And then I thought, “Why am I so SHOCKED??” It’s not like he doesn’t come down semi-regularly, or travel really regularly to even farther places. Then it hit me. PMS. I know from experience that PMS makes all the emotions stronger which causes the roller-coaster effect. But I’ve never been severely SHOCKED before.
