Personally - I am a rotten shot. I will, however, beat the living crap out of some one so bad they will wish i had shot them - I am not dispassionate.

Unfortunately also, i retain this disconnected view so far that it restrains me from hurting another. I have been in a life or death situation and have actually chosen to 'pull the punch'. It's stupid considering that I realized at the moment that i was very much likely about to die i need that one more step- that thing that says- ok it's f'd its coming take him with u - i felt the 'it's coming followed by i'm not going down with out fighting'- and still was too bloody tame to take the kill shot- i am not sure which would bother me more- that i would have killed or that i didn't -
The very best outcome is that you managed to survive without killing anyone. I hope I am never in that situation but always tell myself that if I ever am I must do everything I can to kill an attacker. Unless I'm sure I can easily restrain them I've got to counter attack with everything I've got and not be a passive victim.

Oh Kaimi- it is amazing the amount of clarity at a moment like that- I truly thought, 'I am going to die, the knife is going to hurt, I am going to hurt him.' Then, WHILE I beat the snot out of him (this was a home invasion and my attacker and I were physically of a similar size) I actually considered the damage m blows could do and knowingly did not strike where and as hard as could do the most damage- that is the stupid part. I was completely able to at least attempt to get rid of him and i didn't. Later I found out he had been under the influence of drugs which only makes sense since he didn't just fall down unconscious at the time- and yes it turned out death was not really necessary- but still from a survival point of view - killing him would have been in my best interest.

Wtf???

Ok, I may be back with the Fiancee, looking at engagement rings & wanting to marry her.... BUT.....

She still wants to move to Kentucky, with 2 friends, to get a Mall Job to pay for tuition at any business school that will take her.

WHY must things be THIS difficult??? :(


BTW- one reason she wants to move there is to "escape the rednecks here" :confused:

While I dont own a gun, I'm not one for pulling punches.

At 5'2" and 96lbs, I cant afford to. ;)

All I can say is, I never lost a fight. I'll avoid them if I can (they hurt like hell!!)

Todd- forgive me for saying, but you really seriously need to think this through- not knowing you guys personally I can well imagine I am completely wrong - but.... think this through man- honestly, this is not the best move for you and time will show you you could have done so much better for yourself. If she wants to move, her present life is unresolved - and while we are all always in flux this basic need in her WILL leave you behind eventually. Don't chase after someone - it is pointless and empty in the end.

I get 17 results. No one blogs me. Though I appear in a picture.

It is like I do not exist, haven't been here for 2+ years. :(


Did you do a Google image search, Lexxi? You're there.

If you turn off the "safe" filter you see more pics.

Well, it's breakfast time and since most of the girls seem to be demonstrating classical penis envy I thought you might enjoy these to accompany the guns:



Pep (No BSD Syndrome here)

PS And for coffee . . .

Just Googled /me and all I get are pages and pages of hits for a VIDEO GAME! Although, if you step back and really think about it...hmmm. Cheers, Jackie!

As promised, here are the photos of my male avatar. The first is my BEFORE photo, before the makeover. Skin is from Pulse; the shape is a freebie I modified. I thought I looked okay, but now I can see why my friend was laughing at me.



And this is AFTER the makeover:



And this last is my makeover skin with my old shape:



The clothes are from Honeybear's store. The hair is a freebie.

Freaky, huh?

Not sure about the sausages for breakfast but does look yum. And Pep- it's hardly penis envy when some crazy person abducts you from your home at knife point and you fight back. I confess to being fond of the things but have no desire to have one as part of the original equipment :p

And Lula, aww shucks.

@ Key - yeah the first guy is waay too pretty in a fem way. I like the five o'clock shadow -

Both items should be kept out of sight and only used when absolutely necessary.

Good morning, Threadies!

Key, thank you for posting the pics. Actually....I kinda like the 3rd pic the best... :)

Sorry this is such a huge pic, but I didn't have time to re-size it. :o

I figured since Pep had provided a goodly portion of protein, I'd come up with other foodstuffs. :)

@Kaimi: If there is anyone that would be able to do a Picard and talk their way out of trouble it would be you, but I wouldn't want to be on the other end if you couldn't. I'm sure they'd get a huge can of whoop from you.

@Amara: A big hug for you. I've never had to fight through a situation as desperate as that, thankfully, but I've had to kick a nutsack or two in my day. A home invasion is one of the most terrifying violations of our freedom I can imagine, and anyone committing one deserves whatever they get in return.Even in as "nice " neighborhood it can happen, and will happen more frequently in these times I think. There have been a run of breakins in my neighborhood, so I keep the shotgun and .38 in strategic positions.

in this we are not similar. i would have not hesitated to save my life by taking another. and if you even look at my kids wrong.... :mad:

:eek: freakin scary! so glad you are okay.

and if that would have been me, they would have had to bury him. surely. i know this in advance. it's just a decision i made long ago, but i don't want to share that reasoning.

WHY must things be THIS difficult??? :(


BTW- one reason she wants to move there is to "escape the rednecks here" :confused:

so either you are moving to Kentucky, or you aren't getting married. :( and i assume you'll want to live with your wife, not have her living with 2 friends. that part's a little baffling. :confused: tough decisions ahead. *hugs*
