Not trying to scare anyone, just thought our friends with little kids might want to know if you havent seen this.

We are home finally. The other 2 posts were made from her parents house because she was watching her boys for the weekend till they got back. Everything was fine until today, this afternoon sucked so bad! Glad that is over. i feel somewhat bad about the post i made earlier. i am the worst with words here anyway as far as i know and things always seem to come out wrong whether i am talking or typing. :/

i want her to be happy, i really do, we all do. It is just....to be honest it is scary to think that her being "happy" may involve a lot of changes to the system. The biggest of which being us not having relationships, and some people no longer being here. This is a process and all i can do is wait and see what happens and how things go. i was a little angry earlier after i wrote my other post. Not so much angry now, a little scared, which is weird for me, and a little confused, but in our cooperation we have always agreed that whatever was suppose to happen would happen naturally. So far that has held true except for the times we have stopped things from happening. At least that is what i believe.

i should be having the hardest time of all in some ways i think, because i was her slavegrrl. i am not saying it is easy, i think in a lot of ways i have just gone back to being numb & having walls up like i was was before we ever met. But the other thing is that i dont feel like anyone involved in this mess deserves me. That probably sounds very arrogant or whatever but i just mean after seeing certain people's behavior and reactions to things frankly i think poly does not exist in real life, not happy poly anyway. i know some people will say it does and can work for them and im not negating your relationships, fine it works for some people. Just forget it i dont remember what else i wanted to say now except i dont see any reason that i need to exist...why should i exist to continue to be unhappy? Why should i exist if i have to live in a body that is questioning my existance? i am not saying i want to move to another body because even that is being questioned here by this body. So fine, i shouldnt exist....but i am stuck here so WTF?! This is nobodys fault but our own so people please dont go blaming each other or yourselves.

(p.s. yes we are making these public on purpose)

i think our system is going to fall apart. i am not even sure how i feel about that. There are things i would like to say to different people but it does not matter. At this moment i feel sad and scared and i am not even fully out in the body ... if you do not understand that please do not ask i can not explain anything to anyone at this point because i do not understand anything myself.

LOL buffy wanted me to say "peoples" *rolls my eyes* We dont usually do this but we have actually made a few friends through this community soooo if you havent joined yet and you like personal icons and blinkies and things like that... GO JOIN! and leave a comment here http://community.livejournal.com/sassy_graphxs/913965.html
telling them we sent ya!

I just removed about 22 icons to make room for new ones. We hate removing any of them. I also hate feeling like I need to post a disclamer explaining that the reason we removed them had nothing to do with not liking them or something equally as inane.
We have some new ones to put up and have not been able to so going to do that later today. I hope nobody gets mad or upset about it. We always appreciate everything that is made for us and eventually use everything at least a couple times if not more. I think the idea that people request only when they have space to use something is a bit silly because if you dont request when it is being offered, you may never have the chance again. We are also grateful for all the understanding, and to have met some really nice friends through the graphics communities. Thats all...we now return you to your regularly scheduled lj dramas... :)

(edit: We also left a few communities yesterday and it was nothing personal against anyone. We are just having a hard time keeping up with things so it had to be done.)

5 FACTS ABOUT RABBITS

Rabbits and hares are not the same animal - they have different shaped heads.

Rabbits have little protection against their enemies.

Because its eyes are on the side of its head a rabbit can see things behind or beside best.

Most rabbits do not dig their own burrows - they use ones abandoned by other animals.

A baby rabbit is called a kit or kitten.




Did you learn something today? I did :)

and as a side note here is a tip from the easter bunny:
"Some body parts are meant to be floppy."

I know a lot of you have pets so wanted to make sure you knew about this. First they said it was only wet foods now they have expanded it to dry food too. Please be careful if you have pets and feel free to spread this post around.

I believe these were the orignal lists, not sure if the dry stuff is included on here but people were having trouble finding if it was their food so here are 2 lists:

We removed ourselves from some communities. Not because we dont like them but because its just too much to keep up with unless we sit on lj 20 hours a day like we use to. We may have accidentally removed some peoples galleries..lj had a brain fart and we were on a roll *lol* oops..well we will figure it out later and reapply to join wherever we need to.

sick sick and more sick thats all we have been :( not sure we will be on much this weekend but wanted to let everyone know we are still around. we just have the cold from hell or something its same as last one, it never went away really and yesterday when we woke up it was twice as bad. got some med but it makes us sleepy so um ya not thinking too clearly.

Only have one blinkie left to pick up so now seems like a good time. We are taking a break from lj for the next 4 or 5 days anyway, maybe longer not sure yet. Sorry if we get behind on stuff during that time but there are too many people on our list and we will try to catch up when we come back but it may not be possible. Some people may call us hypocritical but we just can not take the drama anymore. It is too hard for us to sit back and watch people destroy themselves, both figuratively and literally, over and over again repeating the same patterns for years. We know they probably dont know any better ways to cope with things but there comes a time owned or unowned, bdsm relationships or not, that we all have to learn to take responsibility for ourselves and take care of ourselves because when it comes right down to it, no one else can do it for you.

Sure people can love you but they can only love you to the extent they are capable and sometimes peoples actions make even that impossible. People can give you love/guidance/orders/ but in the end what happens in your day to day life is really in your own hands. We think especially women who are inclined to be submissives & slaves forget these things or lose sight of themselves in the process. It may be a necessary evil to be codependant for a 24/7 TPE relationship, but the real ones of those are very few and far between. We say "necessary evil" because even though she may enjoy it immensly at the time, what happens when it ends if there is nothing left of herself?

Anyway this post wasnt really about bdsm stuff it just kinda ran together. Now we are going to go finish playing a game so we can go to bed in 10 minutes because we have to get up early tomorrow to go to the doctor for several things and to go to social security office...oh joy we are so thrilled NOT.

abby & sj (for everyone)

We have said not much bothers us about people getting the terms wrong when it comes to us being multiple because there is so much to learn if you dont know, its perfectly understandable. However, if you yourself are multiple please learn the correct terms for the love of....my sanity! lmao

And just for the purpose of education because Ive seen this mistake sooo many times, here lol this is what Im talking about....


"I have multiples" annoys the hell out of me. People do not "have multiples", a person is multiple. See the difference? A person(or people if your talking about more than one body) is multiple and has other people inside them, call them alters or something else if you must but those inside people are not "multiples" unless they themselves have other people living in their heads inside. Does that make sense?

Im leaving this public...in case any of my multiple friends need to educate someone else LOL.

edit: some people are very offended by the term "alters" because they think that means people think they are not real. The best thing is to ask the person what they would prefer. But what I said above still stands!
