Well, hell, it's Poppy. I am alive and not going through the Transformation as yet...well at least not how I thought it was happening anyway. Sighs...such is life at times. One perhaps assumes too much.
Thanks to smartandsexy I am adding this...I thought it was clear that this is as much an apology post for how things happened as an explanation.
I AM VERY SORRY FOR HOW THIS ALL AFFECTED EVERYONE IT DID...whether that made them worried, or more suspicious of others, or whatever. It was NOT intended as a ploy or attention-seeking thing...it was me, in trouble, acting out my troubles. So again, I am VERY SORRY for the trouble it caused anyone else.
I just wanted to let those people who sent well wishs know that I'm okay for now and KravMaga likely DID save my life. There is no denying that. I come here now immediately to take responsibility for this whole regrettable situation especially at this time of year. Yes, he has reacted emotionally...Under the circumstances of his life these days, who wouldn't...who couldn't. Give him a fucking break. He did RIGHT here and deserves a bit more understanding. He was prodded and poked into much of the defensiveness, which I understand, as I've been through it here as well.
I would also like to add a special thanks to Bronzeage...a well-timed call this morning that inspired me to come forth right away and make this post. He, too, has been a good friend and advisor on many things here for me and we were aware he was trying to reach me by phone. So thank you, Bronzeage...again...you demonstrate your value as both a friend who can be compassionate yet forthright and kick some butt. I may have just run away for a while if you hadn't called.
It looks like a fucking minefield here from what I've skimmed. Oh my.
For what it's worth, dolf pretty much has the picture. I am very ill, got very scared again, got drunk and started to believe this "transformation" was at hand. As there are many people at Lit I do value...several more than were on the list BTW, I made a fumbling effort to let you know.
So...Merry Fucking Christmas after all. Happy New Year, too. Well wishes to all here. Thanks to those especially who sent well wishes for my recovery...these worked.
The rest...well bash me into humiliation for surviving.
