It's sweet... - April 1, 2008
Guys, you're so nice. Well, not all of you, but a lot of you are really well-meaning and sweet, and you've sent me the nicest "hang in there" emails because I've written about worrisome things, depression, drugs, etc. I know what it takes to put yourself out there, to reach out to someone in kindness, and it's a lot harder than one would imagine. It requires character. It requires ten times as much courage to root for someone than it does to dis, and you who root, are good people. People with substance. People who add value to this world. People who mean something.
The ever-blabbing horde called "anonymous" can suck a dick, though.
The point of this post is not to bitch about "anonymous," and so I won't do that. I just wanted to say that your worry might be better appropriated elsewhere, as I'm doing a-okay. I'm just prone to depressive episodes during periods of tremendous stress. I haven't been able to write at length about what I'm going through currently--for years, actually--and so if it seems I'm falling to bits over small things like gallbladder surgery, that's not the case. I'm actually digesting vast, immense things. It's a full time job, and I'm doing the best I can, but I do often find myself a little exhausted. I'll spill about all that later.
Right now, I'd like to say thanks. Some of you have been kinder to me than my closest friends, but then you never had to put up with my moods, my klutziness or my propensity to burst into song at inappropriate times.
Hugs and kisses,
Bunny

What's an inappropriate time to burst into song? I mean I guess during sodomy or something could be kind of distracting. Especially if you were singing On top of spaghetti (insert 'my poor meatball' joke here) - but generally, I'm pretty sure that that's not a character flaw.
I'm not sure Klutziness is either really, I just couldn't think of a joke relating to klutziness and sodomy so it gets second billing. I guess moodiness can be an issue, but you're a woman, surely if somebody points out that you're being crazy, you can self assess and reign it in (see previously referenced 'my poor meatball' joke)?
Hang in there BunBun - you're awesome.

Or her gas.
Most of you have never had to put up with her gas.

LOL. You're sweet and endearing, Buns, and you always have a place to stay in Austin should you need/want it.
Trix: I doubt Bunny's gas is any worse than my 8 year old nephew's. Seriously.

Even after she put coffee up her colon?
I realize the nature of a blog leads to scatter-shot reading, but why are so many readers are unable to recall the Bunny narrative, fit the dark times posts in their proper context and realize that only a self-aware, "dealing-with-it" person writes stuff like that?

Perhaps not.
Seriously she should add me on myspace if she's depressed Im good for a laugh again and again:)

We talking show tunes here...or like singing along loudly to the electronically rendered Duran Duran being piped into the grocery store?
Bah, either way, I think that would be dandy.

or random revelations of gas issues to the masses on the internet.
Hang in there Bunny! I think I speak for a lot of people when I say that we're all pulling for you, and glad to hear things aren't quite as bleak as they seem. You're a tough cookie, even though you may not admit it.

You burst into song? I am So jealous! you must be like living in a musical! And there's nothin wrong with gas, sometimes farts are funny. Most of the time they're funny actually.

"moods, klutziness or propensity to burst into song at inappropriate times."
You could easily be a member of my family, as long as you can yell and scream alot.
if you ever need a few words to tell you what a talent you are, i'm here for ya.

Oh, don't let it get to you. Sometimes people like "anonymous" just like to be ***** because they have nothing else to say for themselves. You're a great writer who's a joy to read every time!

It's not like you don't deserve it. You've helped us - every one of us - enormously. Every post, every word is a reminder that the world is actually an OK place.
I mean, come on. Right when I was just about to fall back into the clutches of a depression whose cause I knew nothing about, you came along and explained everything, clearly and concisely. I can't even begin to describe how helpful that was.
So shut up and take it. Bitch.

Stank you smelly much Trixie for that added bit of info. A kiss on the cheek for you Bunny. You can keep it, if you want it.
Posted by: Wayland at April 2, 2008 01:20 PM
We're all just one big collective shoulder for you to cry on, Bunny.
And I think most of us have seen our own fair share of dark times and gotten through them in various ways, so we all draw from our various experiences in the hopes that they will be useful.
In the end we just want a happy Bunny because happy Bunny seems to blog more about fun things, like facing down dickweeds at the dog park. :D

If it wasn't for Bunny I would not have got treatment for my lifelong depression and that would ended quite poorly for me and because of the help I recieved I was able to help a relative in the same situation. So +2 for Bunny. Your honesty and openness reminds me that I'm not the only sane person in this insane and wretched world. You're never alone Bunny, we're all here for you and wish you well.

And I wish on all the rainbows that I see
I wish on all the people who really dream
And I'm wishing on tomorrow, praying it'll comes
And I'm wishing on all the lovin' we've ever done
Love this song.

Breaking in to song is never inappropriate. Anyone who tells you different is just afraid musicals make them gay.

Just simply very solid writing. The camp story had my full attention through its entirety. Nice work!

I must point out that there is "anonymous" (cowards) and then there is Anonymous (win). Being a party of the second part who enjoys all things lulzy...I thank you for your writing and for sharing your private thoughts with us all. You are fantastic. MOAR!
