As to the moon, as it waxes and wanes does its distance from earth vary? Just as tides are influenced by the moon, maybe on a much smaller scale fluid in our brains is as well. Maybe a trip-wire effect; if you're unstable a little push is all it takes, if you're stable that little push might make you more irritable, but nothing more than that.

I'm convinced we are influenced by electric fields. Just before a thunderstorm while things are charging up, people and other animals get on edge, act all nervy and skittish. I've been close enough to a lightening strike ( flash and bang being as close to simultaneous as makes no difference) to remember feeling really freaked out just before it. You know you're close when you don't hear any echoes, or rolling thunder shaking the rooftops, you just hear a fucking great bang.
Yes, it does. And I believe so. That's right and also true. We are, they do and so have I. It blew apart an apple tree, just outside my bedroom window, when I was 12. You also feel the static charge rise in the air, just before the boom.

I'll be doing my taxes tomorrow. I should be getting a return, but it won't be much. Whatever, I no longer care.
