Twisty Knickers!!
Posted by wendy on 2012/01/17
An upside to losing all your hair and owning a battle axe? I never looked more badass, people. 
I’m pretty pleased at the response my last few posts have gotten. It’s kind of nice to know I’m not the only one who gets a bit rage-y over C&P. I have been accused of being too harsh or ‘attacking’ people who do this, and perhaps I have been? No. No. I think I only sound harsh to habitual C&P-ers. I believe someone said on Facebook that I had my ‘knickers in a twist’ over it. it made me giggle. Yes. Yes. TWISTY KNICKERS. I’m cool with that. I’ll freely admit that my panties are permanently bunched up over a great many things. I should go commando more often to alleviate that, eh?
But, enough discussion of my underwear (OR LACK, THEREOF), which really is none of your business. /prim
I’ve spent the last few days getting that ‘deer in the headlights’ feeling every time I looked at my stats. I am the girl who speaks up in class, but then shrinks back a little into her seat when everyone turns to look. As long as I think there are only 3 people looking at this thing, I feel pretty good about it. Now that there are more than 3 of you hanging around, I’m suddenly at a loss for words.
So. Hey. Hi. When I’m not pulling my underwear out of my butt, I spend a great deal of my time trying to adjust to Life on the Other Side. I just got over a cold, and that was an experience, because I haven’t actually been sick for the last two years (EXCEPT FOR CANCER-HA!). I would love to say that I was grateful for the opportunity to BE sick without having to head directly to the doctor’s office, but I was a total baby and whined about it for a week. Seriously, I’m not proud, y’all. I hate when I can’t breathe.
In non-cancer/sickness related news, the Tamoxifen Ten must go, people! Not so much because I hate my body, but because I can’t afford new clothes and my jeans are suddenly VERY VERY TIGHT. I am also gearing up for some major hiking and urbex adventures this April, which means I’m about to knuckle down on some major cardio. I also have to work on my upper body strength, which is a bit shit* at the moment. Life on the Other Side made me a bit soft. (Swinging donuts instead of battle axes will do that to you. AND DONUTS ARE SO DELICIOUS.)
Of course, the donut analogy made me hungry and now all I can think about is Krispy Kremes. gah!!
*of all of the delightful British phrases I could pick up from my boyfriend, I chose the curse words. BADNESS.

Twisty Knickers is the name of my all girl accordion band.
And I’m glad you’re feeling better.
wendy said

chris pilon said
I can relate to the tight jeans……..and thanks…Now I want to go to Krispy Kreme.
wendy said
Well, if I’m going to be a bad influence about something, at least it’s Krispy Kreme and not druuuugs. :p

As always, I love you. I worked in the Canary Islands with a group of British chicks…Knickers in a Twist was my FAVE description and I still use it regularly about my co-worker. It flummoxes my boss. Also, “On your Bike” was a keeper. So much more civil than Fuck Off
Donuts are delish and don’t stop eating them – girl, you look fab and keep working out and planning activity – those are more important than depriving yourself (cut the donuts in half; eat half; save half…have it later if you must.
wendy said
DONUTS. Seriously. As long as I get a workout in, I won’t sweat them too much.
I lub YOU!!

I hope people stick around. Oh, and if your urbex in April is gonna be in the D, you best tell me what dates so I can see if I can stalk you, k? K.

I think you should indulge in one Shamrock Shake, though. LIfe’s too short. They’re coming, Wendy. (*whispers* They’re coming.)
wendy said
It’s like a disturbance in the Force. I can feeeeel them.

England, in April? It’ll be raining….
Just saw this on facebook, and almost choked on my tea….
“So sad…Please, put this on your status if you dated, know, work with or are related to (or divorced from) someone who suffers from stupidity. We all need to understand stupidity is real and must be taken seriously. You could be sitting next to a stupid person right now. There is still no known cure for stupidity, and sympathy does not help. Sometimes a piece of 2×4 to the back of the head helps, but not a lot. But we can raise awareness! 53% won’t re-post this because they don’t know how to copy and paste ..”
Thought of you…
wendy said
ahahahaha! Oh man, I know a few people who suffer from it, that’s for damn sure.
You DO have a wet, wet country there, Miss Sarah! ooo..the complaining I do about those battleship gray skies!! (But, it is so, so pretty on the days the sun peeks out. I love it so much.)
Sarah Barnard said
Yep, gunmetal grey clouds broken by patches of pale blue today, and very wet. The rain is coming in sideways and is at that edge of cold where it’s not hail or snow but the rain is sharp and hard. Stunningly beautiful, but only from indoors.
Hope you’re having a great day!

Ah, but see, the wonder – the beauty – of it all is that, out of all your new readers (and commenters!), 98% of us are friend material. I’d say of that, 90% of us are compadres, either already on the Other Side (funny, that’s what I call it, too!) or fighting through the bullshit to get to the Other Side (sounds like the beginnings of a bad chicken joke, eh?).
So take comfort in the fact that we’re here, not to gawk, but for the solidarity and community that comes from being around others who have had similar experiences!
wendy said
I LIKE your take on it. hee. <3
statia said
You seriously need to get wedgie free underwear. And so does everyone else for that matter.
wendy said
Maybe I LIKE it there, Statia. Maybe I liiiiike it.
