"The tales and misadventures of a super sweet girl making her way through a cavity filled world. Watch her thwart life's dangers with her special blend of sass, guileless wit, self deprecation, and a giant dash of glitter. A magical, frosting-covered metamorphosis of self-discovery and reclamation!" I didn't write this about myself...I'm not a TOTAL asshole!
I don't know when, timewise, I started reading you, but I know I found you through that shapely prose post you did.
ReplyDeletethat was the first reader survey that actually made me laugh out loud!
ReplyDeleteHoly fuck. I have been reading your blog since I was 16 in 2003. That is like 8 years. 8 years!
ReplyDeleteI really don't remember when I started reading; sometime before your dad passed. I have to say that in listening to you, over the years, this move has seemed to be the best thing you've done for yourself, ever.
ReplyDeleteYou sound alive in a way I don't recall.
I'm sending you all the 'live life' vibes I can spare! :-)
Where is the option for those aged 18? xD
ReplyDeleteDamn it! I totally didn't notice that! Blast!
ReplyDeleteI honestly don't remember how long I've been reading your blog, but it was long enough ago that your bypass surgery was somewhat new, and there had been that internet FUROR and brouhaha over the amazing, rawly honest account you wrote online of what it had been like to be the size you were prior to surgery - and that's how I found you: from the references that friends on LJ made to how horribly the fat-haters were fat-hating you. I was totally drawn in -- you were my HERO for writing what you'd written, and for living as honestly and openly as you were (and still do)!
ReplyDeleteI never, ever tire of hearing you talk about how you manage to overcome the shame that our culture throws at us for not conforming to a norm, and how you accomplish what you do, and motivate yourself to stay social, sane, active, happy...how you manage to keep going, every single day. I am beaten down by the messages I get from the world and by the ways I feel I've failed so much, so often, so ferociously, and I can't seem to figure out how to overcome that most of the time. I really like hearing how other people have learned resilience, because I want somma that.
xoxoxo
Thank you, Amy, this means a lot to me. <3
