Period's started now, so I'm very happy indeed, despite being in pain due to not having any water to take medicationy things with. (It's the way the mood just *lifts* when my period starts that always surprises me; good way of telling when it's happening, too.) See, I knew going out tonight (to the Fusion Tour thingamy) would be good for me.

Now I just have to deal with being exhausted for the next week. Ho hum, it's a lot better than having that lovely black PMT cloud to deal with.

What is this Fusion Tour thingy, anyway? I'm all curious, now.

And eek. You suffer general badness for *half the month*? ::thinks:: Actually, that's about right. I envy you the predictability.

Fusion being the people who do cell groups (small Christian communities within colleges), and the Fusion Tour being some of the leaders of the organisation wandering around the country encouraging the people doing the cell groups.

Technically I've got the general badness down to about a quarter of a month now, due to excessive medication, and it's much less bad general badness than it used to be. (And it does mean I get most of my random bad moods out at a time that I know is going to end reasonably quickly, and I get to appreciate the sudden transition into not being in a bad mood...)

Sounds positively revolutionary.

Hence the envy; it must be nice to have a bad mood evaporate once a month.

<fx>idly wonders why cell groups and not, say, church plus small-groups?</>

I was thinking of the MethsSoc model here, but I know some of the city churches do something similar.

The Fusion idea does encourage people to attend a church too; City Life Church uses Fusion as its main small-groups for students. The idea of cell in this context isn't that it replaces church, but that it provides a local community of people within a college that might go to different churches but all know each other in college and can help each other out when needed due to proximity. Also, it's meant to be a useful informal context to invite new Christians / people who want to know more along to, being less intimidating than a church. Fusion is different to normal church small-groups not only because of the geographical rather than church-based emphasis, but also because it's part of a national organisation specifically aimed at connecting students across the country.

City Life is a charismatic church, yes?

Yes. Very much so.
