My Tribe Friends Policy

Okay, first things first. All the creepy guys who just want to hook up with me can take their sorry asses elsewhere. I'm not interested and you'll get an earful if you even try.

Secondly, I do not collect friends. Everyone that you see on my friends list I've actually met IRL and I actually consider an acquaintance or friend of mine. OR I've had a LOT of interaction online with them and they've struck me as a real nifty person that I would LIKE to meet IRL. Nothing personal against those of you who just want to see what I'm all about or think I've posted something cool. But if I couldn't point you out of a crowd, I probably won't be adding you to my friends list.

Yeah, so..

Welcome to Crazytown. Population: Me.

I'm caught in such a whirlwind that it's hard to parse out what's actually happening around me, in me, to me, by me. If I don't figure something out soon I'll be catching a free ride to the hospital.

My commitments before my accident were on the brink of too stressful. After, well, I'm falling apart under the weight of it. All this time I've been thinking that I haven't been able to motivate myself to get on my schoolwork, go workout, generally get ... read more

For those who don't know what I do for a living, I'm a crisis counselor and advocate for victims of domestic violence. It's no surprise that my job is really stressful and that I deal with situations every day at work that test my strength and heart. I've been doing this work for around 5 years now and it has always infused me with inspiration and hope.

However, the last few months have been the absolute worst amount and severity of domestic violence that I've ever had to deal with in this... read more

I don't know where this originated or who the original author is but I had to share it:

HOME-MADE BURNING MAN:

Pay an escort of your affectional preference to not bathe for five days, cover themselves in glitter, dust, and sunscreen, wear a skanky neon wig, dance close naked, then say they have a lover back home at the end of the night.

Tear down your house. Put it in a truck.
Drive 10 hours in any direction. Put the house back together.
Invite everyone you meet to come over and pa... read more

What governor - once an actor, then a Terminator, married to a major women's leader - has the chutzpah to wipe out 100 percent of the domestic violence budget of California, the biggest state in the country, with a single grope of his veto pen?

What same governor does this as the state economy is plummeting and violence is escalating? When the STAND Hotline, t... read more

My heart began to crack open
and the crucible of my life --
the crash, my work, my therapy,
my body, endless reflection,
community and lovers --
they have conspired
to pull it wide apart. 

And all the seeds of love
that for so long have germinated
in hiding, in waiting,
growing deep deep roots,
came flooding out
in a shower of flowers and tears. 

Now my heart is wide open,
sending love and joy,
receiving comfort and laughter. 
I let the tears come to clean
the wounds that... read more

Hello,

I’m a bit late on the updates again, but I still want to let y’all know my progress since my last update in May. Things have improved significantly for me since then and I have to say, it’s about frick’n time!

My x-rays in June showed that my femur has finally begun knitting together and is technically healed at this point. WOO-HOO!!! My right leg is now slightly shorter than my left which causes some frustration and concern for me but is not overly significant with regard to my ... read more

Hello everyone,

It's been way too long since I've last updated you all. Turns out I actually wrote an entire update in March but for some reason never sent it out. I think it was right around the time that I was starting to freak out about money and so was prioritizing sending out a plea for help with that. So I sincerely apologize for the lack of communication about what's going on in my world medically.

My last medical update was at the beginning of February. At that time I was at 50%... read more

My dear community,

I am floored by your outpouring of love and generosity. It’s hard for me to attach words to all the feelings pouring out of my heart. Whether you were able to send a little fundage my way or simply an open heart and encouraging words, I am flooded with gratitude.

I want you to know how deeply your efforts and have impacted me. Yet I’ve discovered that there is no written language for the kind of love that you continue to give me. I am no longer in as desperate need as... read more

Can anyone give me a ride to burnal equinox (to/from oak)? I've got a free pass and a disabled parking placard to sweeten the deal.

People Talk'n Shit

Kitty knows what it means to be a friend, and that's a hard thing to find in this world. I feel like I stumbled into a room, not sure what I was doing, and she smiled, gave me a hug, and said "Of course you belong here." She surprises people with little acts of kindness to let them know she's thinking of them and cares. She's genuine. And that makes all of us fortunate.

Kitty and I are Kat-Kin... Sensuous animals, independent, with a wild streak. She is sexuality in motion, sharp as the claws she can scratch you with. Hot as the fire of her heart, which is pure. Direct as the stare of her pale clear eyes. She's a dynamite soul with a passionate purrrr... Pet this Kitty soft fur, but becareful of her scratch.... MEEEEEOOOWWWW!

caught under the current, the waves pounding you, tossed around and disoriented and not knowing which way to try to swim to find the air, trying not to panic, knowing you can't if you wish to survive, but knowing how little time there is left. Not being able to see through the water as it's thick with pain and loss, and the waves continues to crash down. You feel your strength leaving, your will to stay dissolving into the brutal and enraged sea that your life has become...

then, just as you are about to forsake it all, you feel arms wrap around you. Arms made strong in their beauty and caring and love - arms that mirror the scars on your heart, give strength to your soul, and bring you to the surface, where with the desperate breath you draw you realize that though you are not out of the tempest, you have someone to weather it with you, someone who has the wisdom of storms inside of her.

Those are Kitty's arms, and in her eyes you are able to know that this too, will pass.

it says here that my testimonial says as much about me, as it does about you. somehow, i find that to be perhaps a little bit false. but, hey, we're all just here for the shit of it, right? so, what to say about my kiz-nitty? you are my lump...my lump of teeth an EVIL. a bit like a twin, however, you have successfully escaped the side of my neck, and are just frequently causing undue pain and suffering in my ass. but i love you anyway. perhaps its even WHY i love you. and whode have thought...this testimonial DOES even say something about me (becaue really, in the end, it is always, all...about...me)

Goodness, where do I start? Not long after I met her, Kitty gifted me with a copy of "Women Who Run With the Wolves". She knew I badly needed to read this book at a time when I sorely needed to reclaim myself, heal, and blossom from within.

Here is a woman of amazing strength, who has seen and accomplished more in her young life than I can even fathom. Her intuition about things and people is so spot-on it's uncanny. Before I found my own strength, I used to watch her move through life with confidence and no apologies and wish I could do the same.

She is incredibly supportive to those who make strong strides from within themselves. It's great to have her cheering in my corner.
