    I guess this is the deep end...

    If you read some of my last posts there, that's been the theme of most of my recent personal work. I spent a long time thinking of myself in terms of a victim, and letting other people tell me that's all I was. Then I realized that the people calling me a victim were people who had never had...

    http://offthedeeps.blogspot.com/2011/06/taking-leap-ofsomething.html This is a project I've been reluctant to start, but I think it's time, and that it needs to happen. This will be my public account of my healing journey. It's public because other people need to know they're not alone, and...

    Glad you're doing better! I know it's hard to navigate around triggers.

    SlutWalk in DC this August. I'm going. I think I'm finally ready to be that ballsy. The length of this dress ≠ a YES!

    I've been working on a journal full of collages as a sort of art-therapy project. The quote in your signature is totally going to get it's own page! Thanks! :D

    Cross-posted from CricketSong because it means this much to me: It's time for people to stop deciding what they think I'm strong enough to face, and what they think I'm too weak to handle. It's time for people to stop talking down to me as if they think their words will break me. It's time for...

    Thank you, but no. I think we had best leave this at a polite but firm "Goodbye." Your stuff is boxed up and ready to be returned. I will send it to Darkon next weekend, along with your ring. I did not want that back. The box of your things will be sent through Hound, or Havoc if you prefer...

    I've recently put up another blog on a different site for me to sort out thoughts and feelings there without fueling any more drama. I'm also posting my art on the same site, if anybody's interested in that. As an artist, I'm always looking for feedback! If anyone would like a link, feel free...

    There are two sides to every story. In the interest of not continuing an already relatively ugly fight, I will not be posting mine here, at least for awhile. I want to thank you all for your support and advice, and wish you well on your journeys! If you wish to remain in contact, feel free to...

    "...Do not, as some ungracious pastors do, Show me the steep and thorny way to heaven, Whiles like a puffed and reckless libertine Himself the primrose path of dalliance treads, And recks not his own rede." Hamlet (1.3:45-51) I don't like that I identify with characters like Ophelia, and Anna...

    --hugs to LR-- I just can't wrap my head around the idea of a bunch of rich white men telling poor women that they have no choice but to bear children that they cannot take care of for reasons of either emotional or physical health. Having been hurt, and having been terrified that at fifteen...

    I've calmed down somewhat since my last post. I've also done some homework. My understanding of this bill is as follows: The GOP wants to make it so that neither public nor private healthcare providers can use taxpayer money to fund abortions. There are, of course, exceptions: 1.) if the...

    I guess this is the deep end...

    So, there's this thing going around on FaceBook - in several different forms, that says that the GOP is trying to pass a bill that would deny federal financial aid with abortions, except in the cases of potentially fatal health complications and "forcible" rape. Here's the thing - the sites...

    Just went with no power for about four days. J took pity on us and stayed, and kept two separate fires going the whole time so we wouldn't freeze. Just got power back - SO grateful. Hot showers again!

    I'm having J's best friend cough up tar for him tomorrow. It'll be educational.

    I guess this is the deep end...

    So, J smokes, as do most of our other friends. My little brother worships the ground those boys walk on, and wants to be just like then, so J has gone out of his way to tell my brother in no uncertain terms just how bad for him smoking has been. We do NOT want my bro thinking smoking is "cool."...

    Actually, it's really nice and really helpful to know someone else has been there - I feel a little less crazy. On some level I know that this is just an emotional growing pain - but that knowledge is currently all but drowned out by the pain itself. Thank you all.
