anagram 05.23.99
hi :) I have barely
any cool campix from the last few days 'cause I was redesigning anacam and that
took one whole day. then the next day I was kind of computered out so I stared
a lot and generally just felt pmsy. I don't know WHEN I'm going 2 get my period!
I know it's been more than 28 days but I'm not worried that I'm pregnant. it's
just that I went off the pill because I ran out and now my body is trying 2
readjust and find it's natural clock. I'd go in and get the pill again, but
I'm afraid that the appointment they make for me could land on a day I have
my period. because they make u get a pap smear before u can get the pill, and
u can't have a pap smear during your period. because, for those of u guys who
don't know what a pap smear entails
they stick this speculum up u
and
argh..u know what? I don't even feel like typing it out! that's how pmsy I am!
lol! look it up on the net :)
I am really happy about the new design of anacam. I think it is more representative
of
part of me! ack! I cannot explain it. it's cool, I like it so that's
that! I cannot even type today!
so here is a post I made in the bbs. I don't know what I'll do today. I don't
feel calm enough to do nothing but I feel like I want 2 do SOMETHING! oh! and
here are some more genital pix! that's for the women..and I have a TON more
guy ones! but after this anagram I think I'm genitalled out for the wek at least!
I wish more women would've sent there's in. but here is one more woman trooper
who sent her gorgeous one in! ok, so here is the post:

i posted this at a different bbs, and i'm posting it here, as well. i woke up
really early! it's sunny out, but cold. i have a knot in my back that burns.
my face is breaking out with zits al over the frickin place 'cause i went off
the pill and my hormones are readjusting. ok, here is my post:
i was raped about ten years ago and then lived 7 years in total fear that it
would happen again. i would plot out different tactics 2 different scenarios
of how would keep myself safe if that ever happened again.like if he came in
through THIS window...i'll run HERE.
this guy that did it to me was a total stranger. the locks held on the door,
he busted right THROUGH the door in a good nieghbourhood while i lived with
my mom at 10pm. he must have been stalking me. and this was when i only worked
at a donut shop, i was now known in any way.
so it wasn't like i could say "well, don't dress like a slut in the bad
neighbourhood at midnight"
it was more like "don't wear your floppy pjs in your bedroom reading while
living with your mother in a good neighbourhood!"
i never felt safe anywhere after that. it seemed so random. it effects me greatly
to this day.
i went over and over the "karmic implications" about owning a gun
for years and years and years.
then finally i saud FUCK i DESERVE the right 2 defend myself!
if somebody EVER comes busting through my door again like jack nicholson from
the shining...i'm NOT going to hide and hope he doesn't find me..i'm going to
SHOOT him! i deserve better than to live my life in fear like that.
so my thoughts changed to "i hope i don't die a violent death today"
to "i hope i don't have to shoot anyone today!" which, as bizarre
and twisted as that seems, was a HUGE HUGE HUGE load off of me.
and i felt SO much more peaceful and light!
it's such a paradox, i know.
i just DECIDED i am going to buy a gun with NO GUILT or SHAME because i DESERVE
the right 2 protect myself from that.
my spiritual beliefs are as such that i think one could just repell violence
with sheer will of joy and love. or like a tai chi master..do what they do..which
is incredible..i cannot explain it.
but i'm not a perfect calm tai chi master yet. i guess i am not "trusting
in the force" to make that work effortlessly!
but until i reach that place i'd like 2 be, i'm gonna have a gun. 'cause i feel
a BILLION times better with it than without it. i think it it because i decided
2 buy it with no guilt. i had 2 rid myself of all the fear i had about guns.
it is my intent behind buying it that i think gives me peace. and the sheer
ACT of buying it is the "force" that keeps me safe now, rather than
the actual gun, itself.
am i making sense 2 anyone on this?
the symbolic act of buying the gun had enough energy "behind" it to
keep me safe than the actual gun.
i hope that sentence makes sense 2 anyone!
ok, that's my personal view of it.
and 2 quote the old "it's not guns that kill people, it's people who kill
people". i think that is very right on.
we need 2 stop glorifying violence so much. it's as simple as that. we need
more communication and more love in the world. it's as "simple" as
that. ha
i mean the american ANTHEM has in it "and the rockets red glare, the BOMBS
bursting in air...gave proof through the night that our flag was still there"
do u not think that sends a message out to the americans that using bombs etc,
is a noble and beautiful thing? ack.
and it's sung at EVERY frickin sport thing and drilled into u since school.
maybe we, americans, could take a step back and just start THERE , with the
anthem?
and don't buy our children any war toys. and communicate with them greatly everyday.
communication is so dysfunctional about everything, it seems! i think the biggest
course that they should teach every year is "the art of communication".
but what do we get 2 learn? we get 2 learn when the war of 1812 is..ya 1812...thank
u 2 the american school system. at least where *I* went.
i'm sure there are some great schools, too. i know my boyfriend really loves
the school he went 2. but i think those are in the minority.
i really could go on and on and on.
to say we will make it harder to GET guns, too..is just not going 2 work. a
gun is made EVERY 12 minutes! and has the shelf life of 400 years! hello? i
mean, what's up with THAT? but it's nearly impossible 2 stop it.
that's why i think we have 2 stop blaming things outside of us for the violence.
he gun isn't going 2 shoot itself.
the chair isn't going to throw itself across the room at your head. there is
no "E-Z" answer. it's SIMPLE but not E-Z. presto-matic-peace
it takes meticulous time 2 communicate love, self-worth, non-greediness etc,
nonFEAR of those that look or act "different"
and beyond beyond beyond..as u all know
ok, i'm done 4 now...
