Ripping Off the Scab & Licking My Wounds

Diff strokes for diff folks. Some keep it all inside and/or tell only a very few very close folks whassup. Some broadcast to the world whassup internally lots 'n' lots. My mode/method falls somewhere in the middle (tilted more to the latter). ( Trial by Tears )

And so I lick my wounds and get on w/my life...

EDIT: And apparently there's good reason why my self-healing methods work decently well for me.

Reclaiming This Icon

Several years back, the poly fambily unit known as we3 (or perhaps simply as CopperMoon), consisting of lightfoote, wildwoosi and myself, each got one of these copper pendants at a RenFaire in CA. One side was stamped w/the CopperMoon logo and t'other w/something else (mine: this labyrinth, ALF: bear head, Woosi: stylized W). (The bee bling came from my Mom.)

I haven't worn mine since I got the infamous Something Must Change e-mail the morning of 08/15/11 - and I shan't wear it again. In a few weeks though, when down in SF at Dickens, I hope to procure another one for myself (and put my bee bling on't). It'll have this labyrinth on one side and something else (I'm not sure yet what) on t'other side.

As of now though, I'm gonna start using this icon again, as it's mine separate and apart from "we3" or "us." Somehow this helps me feel somewhat better.
