I gave her a comment and a link to your thread FMF. Somehow it seems rude to have that amazing blog and only an ad-bot and a... um... someone else make posts on it.

(the other post creeps me out, um... she survived because she's A)very lucky and B)a brave soul who, accepting death or not, can drop off a 3 story building and C)Has incredible doctors and friendly folk in her life.)

I really appreciate all of the kind words and I can't think of enough of them to thank you all.

There will be two or three more posts on the fire. The next one won't be posted until early next week. Partly because it's a hard one for me to write about, and partly because I'll be out of town for most of the weekend.

Thanks for reading fellow Browncoats.

Hugs and es,
Whim

*hugs Whismiscalbrainpan*

Read your fourth blog entry Whimsical...

.....
....
...
..
.

(I'm sorry...if ":meep"-ing in pain and horror for the previous entries was for what happened and what you suffered...I am even further at a loss at the other crimes that happened before the fire at your home and after [but before he was caught by the police].)

I am amazed by your inner strength, pleased that the justice system was effective, dismayed that there are people who grow up to be such horrific...*sigh* "Monster(s)" is a word that is bandied about sometimes too much -- but "Jackass" fits the description. (I can imagine even Jayne being horrified by the cruelty inflicted.)

*reaches out to touch Whimsicalbrainpan gently* Take as much time as you need to be able to put it into words...While we're here to provide what little support we can, far after the event, it is your story and what you're able to write is enough.

I hope your time out of town is as productive and as restful as you want and need it to be.

*Warm hugs*

Hello dear Whimsical...

I have just read your blog and became more and more in awe of you as I read it... You have shared some intense and deeply important experiences with the world in such a way that I cannot thank you or give enough of my support...

The way you write is beautiful, and doesn't come accross as angry or bitter - I was actually surprised when you mentioned hate as you wrote with such a gentle, yet clear and balanced insight. I will never be as great as you, and if I ever face anything even close to your adversity I pray that I might have some of your courage.

God bless you and everyone who is touched by your story, more people should read it... may I link my blog to yours... I am suddenly ashamed of the frivilous nature of my postings, but I would like to introduce more people to you?

With much love - Magdalena x x x

Wow!
I think that everyone has said anything that I could even think of about this.

I am glad that you are getting well. I know that it will take a long time for this to happen and that you can never be the same.

I do not think that I could be as level-headed and calm as you appeared on your blog. I also was surprised when you mentioned your hate and anger. It was not present in your writing. But it was present in me when I read it.

I just got done reading this, and I have to say that Whimsical, you have my thoughts and love behind you. I cannot believe the terrible things that you've been through, but I am glad that you made it through them. I wish that there was something that I could do to ameliorate your situation. If you don't mind me asking... how are you doing now? Are you working?

Whimsical- I still have to say wow..and as someone with a degree in criminal psychology I have to say I'm glad the cops warned you not to expect remorse and I absolutely agree it's all choice. I don't care what was done to you ( many of my students have stories that would make you cry but they are still good kids).. I do have to say the cops didn't think you were kidding about wanting to be alone with jackass. That's why they didn't let you in a room alone with him....they know what you'd do and what they'd love to let you do. that's why it's so hard on cops. They want so much to help the victim heal and I have to say letting them pound the crap out of the guy would make a lot of people happy... Also another note all therapists I know are far nuttier than any patient they've ever had. I swear it's a prerequisite for counseling psychology there should be a sign: You must be seriously psychologically damaged to obtain degree and license:)
You hang in there!!!

Thanks for not making me feel judged MSG. I hate the fact that I've truly wanted to murder someone and I'm ashamed that I've let the evil rub off on me. I know it's part choice and part who I am and that doesn't make me proud either.

I fully expect(ed) to get comments telling me I'm an evil bitch. I sure feel like one. LOL! I guess I judge myself enough.

I do know that there are millions of people in this world who have it much worse than I do. I also know that there are plenty of people who've been victimized much worse than I have and have not let hate enter their hearts. THEY are true heroes, not me.

ps Hanging in there is what got me in this mess in the first place!

Billions? Wow, that's a lot. So, how come you're the only person I know that has it this terribly? Surely, if there were billions, I'd have a few neighbors or friends with stories to rival yours. But see, the odd/funny thing is, I don't.

Perhaps all these billions of people don't live around me. Hmm....

Wow again Whimsical.

Yet again I am amazed. Honestly I do not think that there is anythin'... Scratch that! Let me rephrase:

You are one of the strongest people I have ever met. There is no reason to be ashamed of the hatred that you feel. As I said before: I was just reading what happened to you and I hated "Jackass"! I wanted to throw him such a beating that it wasn't funny. He did nothing to me yet I wanted him hurt. I cannot imagine what my reaction would be if he had done that to me! I think it would be right along the same line that you took.

With the trama that you experianced I think anybody would be messed up mentally. But you never gave up! You sure could have, but you didn't. I think that most people might have. They would have decided that life was no longer worth the effort and stayed in bed. Or far worse, they would have just decided to stop living. But Goramit you had to have you coffee in the morning so you kept on living. It doesn't matter what the excuse was that got you out of bed. The fact is you kept getting up and kept living! That effort fills Me with alot of pride. (Weird I know). I do not even know you and I am proud of the fact that you did not become a victim. You refused to quit and have inspired all that read your Blog. The strength that you display for everone in the 'verse to read is inspiring. Thank You!

No power in the 'Verse can stop you!

Thanks again for your kind words Kelkhil. I know what you mean about wanting to hurt Jackass even though he didn't do anything to you. While I was angry about what he did to me when I think about the girl who was burned over 60% of her body and didn't even live there I get furious. When I think about what he did to Mary I get beyond livid and I never knew the girl. It's funny how people we've never met in "real life" can still have an effect on us.

I did think about giving up. I don't think I mentioned it in the latest blog and I plan to mention it in the last blog saying where I'm at now and tying up loose ends (I'm going to re-read everything and address anything I might have left out). I even had a "preferred method". I guess there were plenty of ways to kill myself without my preferred method so that must mean even though I felt like it I never truly wanted to.

I appreciate your support. I really thought that people would stop thinking of me as a BDH after reading the latest blog. I still find it hard to think of myself as one. Thanks so much for reading.

Hugs,
Whim

Hey not only not judging you , completely wiht you! I have some students that have horror stories of abuse and I can honestly say I would willingly kill their parents. I don't know what that says about me, but hey we all adore Mal and he seems quite comfortable with the killing of those who need it so very desperately. I'm glad you didn't kill youself since it takes balls to stand up to what youd life has dished out.
I'd like your permission to share your blog with my students. I work with kids that have been identified as possibly heading down that path of darkness and I'd really like to be able to show them the story of a survivor and what they go through as part of my class to help them see that a choice once made can't be taken back and how easy it is to not think about what happened to the victims or survivors and their pain. I want them to come face to face with a story like yours. I really think it would help them. So would that be ok with you?

Well you're a dummy!

Reading the amount of crap you've had to wade through moved me to tears, and I can't believe how well you've handled it. I don't blame you for a second for being angry or feeling any of the things you felt. Those feelings weren't abnormal, they were just human, as I'm sure many people have told you already. But you've managed to put your life back together without being eaten up with bitterness. That's an incredible accomplishment. You should be very proud of yourself. I know we're proud to have you as a browncoat.

Read your last blog entry on the fire, recovery, and whatnot.

Let's just say that I nearly started crying at the pictures of your hands in sympathetic pain. (And since I was at work, that would have been difficult to explain.)

*HUGS to Whimiscal* You're extremely strong to have survived that, and to continue fighting. I've said it before, and I'll say it again...I think even Jayne would've been amazed, awed, and even humbled by what you've gone through.

Err, I did comment on the last page of your blog there whim, but I cant edit the darn thing, so I hope I didnt come across as coarse. I was sorta hoping to address that thing where you were feeling bad for people who've had it worse and all.... I'm not sure I said it right, but what I meant was, everybody does that, everybody feels bad for those with less, but sometimes you/we need to ignore it and just keep on going.

For me, uninjured and in perfect health by comparison, I feel bad for you, involuntarily, but because you mentioned you dont want pity, and because I think focusing on our own lives is important.... It's sorta hard to explain.

Did this make any sense?

Well, keep flying Whim, keep flying.

Howdy Whimsical,

Just read your last blog post. And yet again I am amazed by your resolve.

As far as the trying to find a job but not being qualified and not wanting to go back to school...

There are tests that you could take for Microsoft products that do not require schooling. They are Microsoft Certifications in the Office Suite. They Certify you in Excel, Word, Power Point and such. You can purchase books for prep and then the tests cost a little money but they are worth it. Most employers look at those as having more weight than a degree. Because Microsoft is certifying that you are profecient in their products.

I am glad that that I got to read your blog and honored to be a Browncoat with you!

No Whitefall, you did not come across as coarse at all.

First of all, I'm one of those strange people who like to ponder the imponderables. Second, I was mainly trying to focus on the fact that I have better healthcare than most rather than saying that my life is better than her's, your life is better than mine, etc. Third, while you might not think that there is much point to such comparisons it helps me put things into perspective. Sometimes a little perspective is very much needed. I'm not trying to put the world's burdens on my shoulders I have enough of my own.

Now I hope I'm not sounding coarse! I get what you are syaing and I really don't focus on the whole who has it worst thing. I guess what I'm trying to say is that just focusing on my life can sometimes be a bit too much so I take a look around. Now I am also wondering if I'm making sense.

Thanks for reading Whitefall and your words of kindness, encouragement, and wisdom.
