I just wanted to say…

You guys rock my world.
Thanks for all of your support
during these weird times.

You are amazing.
I really mean that. There is
so much love out here.

I wish everyone
could get so much support when
they are feeling low.

Your kind words, emails,
so often restore my faith
in humanity.

I’m always rocked by
how many of you I’ve “met”
in such a short time.

Thank you for caring.
Thanks for sharing compassion.
Thanks for being you.

It feels good to know
that I really can be real
It’s okay with you!

I may seem like ‘she
who cares not what others think.’
Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha!

I care what you think.
And it means a lot to me
that you feel the same.

So I can show you
my highs and my lows and you
will not turn away.

And, apparently,
some even want to see my
unshaven armpit.

I mean, one of you
even triple-dog-dared me!
How can I say no?

Now you have suspense.
“When will she post her armpit?”
Mwah-ha-ha-ha-ha!

;-)

  • Wow. Armpit hair. Thanks for not including it here, since I’m insomnia woman tonight and that might make it totally impossible to sleep. :)

  • Oddly enough, I am now excited to see it. I don’t think there has ever been a time in my life I have been waiting to see someone’s un-shaved pits! Way to go!

  • Lotus!! The ONLY reason I got out of BED today was because I knew.. I just KNEW Id see your armpit hair this morning!! and yet.. all I get is a crappy Haiku!!?!? (not crappy in its content.. you know what I mean)
    SHOW THE PIT HAIR WOMAN!! Seriously.. Im not a freak.. I just *need* to know that there are other women out there that *occasionally* let the pit hair slide for whatever reason or another.

  • I’m not particularly fond of pit hair. But what really gets me is nipple hair. Total yuck. What? You’ve never heard of nipple hair? I went out with a girl once that had a ring of single, dark hairs around each nipple. Damn things kept getting caught between my teeth, causing her pain and killing the mood. Killing HER mood, not mine. Which was REALLY frustrating. You know, I really didn’t need to remember all this – thanks Lotus. You owe me a RACK shot.

    I need to apologize to you sweet one. I let wounded pride and a mispaced sense of right and wrong get in the way of being here to support you and be a friend.
    I’ve missed much and that is my fault, but know I support you, I care about you, and worry about you.

    I will really worry if you show your armpit hair too ;)

  • i’m so sorry about what happened. i haven’t been blogging until the last couple of days, so i didn’t know until now.

    great haiku. isn’t it amazing how people that you only know through the internet can become such an amazing source of strength and support when you need it? that’s what i’ve found.

    *huge hugs* hang in there!

    oh, and i can’t wait to see your armpit…rawr! ;-)

    May 23, 2008
  • I think you should let your leg hair grow really long and then take a picture of that because that would be awesome. I deplore and loathe shaving, so I like to FIGHT.THE.POWER. and go furry when possible because I’m gross like that.

  • I had bumped into your site awhile ago but had not been on for a bit. Then today I saw your post and learned of your loss.

    I’m so sorry. You can’t always be funny, but if you feel like it then you are making steps toward healing, I’m sure.

    Not that you will ever fully heal.

    Keep your chin up and thanks for making us laugh when you can and care when you can’t.
