Hello my Loving Cats and Bats!
First things first: I want to apologize for my absence recently. I've been pretty sick; down for the count. Crohn's disease had me like whoa... :( I hate that I haven't been posting and I've really missed you all, but I've been so lethargic... So, I've been resting as much as possible, not really interacting with people all that much and trying to build my immune system back up to some sort of normality... One day at a time, right?
Though, in the mean time---
;) You did it!!! My set reached the giveaway mark, and that means that 4 of you will receive a personalized print of your choice, from my set. I'll make a video in the next few days of the drawing and will be contacting the winners right after that. Thank you SO much for all of your ongoing love and support; you have no idea how much it means to me. You guys are my family, and have been a constant in my life for years.. I have no idea where I'd be without my SuicideGirls family. Which brings me to a @bloghomework assignment, that hits super close to home for me.
Share an experience you have had or friendship you have made through SuicideGirls.
I'm sure you guys are starting to get tired of me professing my love of SuicideGirls, but I will never stop talking about it, glorifying it, and praising it and it's creators for creating a home for people like me.
Right before SG was brought to my attention, I had just gotten out of the hospital from another suicide attempt. My best friend and I had gotten so much closer and our relationship became an engagement. I was doing so much better and I was so much happier; yet I still felt I was was missing something. Something so important.. My fiance's sister, was a member here.. and one day told me that she was surprised that I wasn't a SuicideGirl. I had no idea what she was talking about, and even at the mention of belonging to something gave me butterflies. She showed me the site, and I was instantly hooked.
From day one, I was accepted in with open arms.. and after nearly 11 years on this site, I have yet to encounter anything truly negative from here(I'm excluding the drama from new members that signup just to be trolls, obvs).
I am a loner Dottie, a rebel. ;) No, not really.. but I am sort of socially awkward. Though, through SG, I have grown and blossomed, and because of the support of the site, girls, and members; I have become the woman that I have always hoped I would be. I will always be forever grateful to SuicideGirls for helping me to not just find myself, but for saving my life.
I've mentioned before that I will defend SG to the death, and I mean it. There have been some things said by some ladies recently that are not only completely unfounded, but have been incredibly hurtful to me, just because of how much I love this site/community. I can assure you and anyone who reads this blog, that when people feel they've been slighted, will hit as far and hard below the belt as possible.. but that doesn't make it true or right. I wish these ladies all the best in their endeavors, and I hope that they find happiness in whatever they do.. I definitely think that no matter what you do, if you aren't happy with it, then you need to do something else. <3
I try, as much a my socially awkward self can, to reach out to new people, to help make them feel as comfortable as I do here.. I have made some seriously wonderful friendships here; and as welcoming as this community is, I can see how intimidating it can be at first. I love helping others find their way around here so that they can fall as much in love with it as I have. This site has never been about competition for me; it's always been home. You all are my brothers and sisters.. I could not ever imagine being unhappy here--even if I never achieve Pink status, this is my home, my family. I stay positive and incredibly hopeful that it will happen for me one day, but even if it doesn't, I will love SG and promote SG just as much and more than I have these past 11 years. I bleed Pink, and my heart bleeds for this site/community.I love you all so much. <3<3<3 Thank you, especially to @missy, @sean, and the rest of staff for making this home so wonderfully amazing. xoxo

Also, I cannot wait for the sequel to Zoolander. To randomly show my excitement, here's my Magnum from last night. ;)
Check out my Ghostkitty pendy that Miss Lindsay Hoyes(@lindsayhoyes on insta) made just for me! Isn't it just the coolest? Now I"ll have my Fendi with me forever.. <3 Here's a better photo, that I posted to IG last night: (Did I mention that @matthewomen cut and redyed my hair?)
<3 Happy Friday the 13th my Cats and Bats!! Be super safe, have fun, and spook on! <3
All my love, always..
Arsenic
xoxo
