Hint: Never Talk About Movies or Books That Involve Dogs Dying While On Your Period

... Which is exactly what I did 5 minutes ago. I don't know what came over me... I was talking about how in Where the Red Fern Grows, Old Dan dies protecting his owner from a mountain lion. Then Little Ann is all sulky without her big brother... and she's just so depressed. Then she goes missing. And they end up finding her dead on top of Old Dan's grave. And as I'm saying the next part, I'm choking on sobs because in the end, a red fern grows between the graves (which is a really rare flower). It was sooo depressing. I blame my nervous breakdown on the hormones. Then my mom made me go out and get my apple juice and that seemed to calm me down a bit. Then I talked about it some more and turned into more hysterical sobs. And now I'm here. Still tearing up. God damn dogs dying in movies. I now feel like re-reading No More Dead Dogs (a book in which the main character hates that dogs always die in movies/books).

I hate periods, dammit.
