About Being A Victim

Posted by Raven on 17th April 2007

From an email yesterday:

You don’t accept victimhood, but I read your story, and you were a victim. You are the one exception I know of Raven, and you have never played the victim…….you are one of the strongest people I have ever met…

This was from Kender, who had just posted a rant about drug addicts and how his state, Cali, is seeking to mandate rehab vs. prison time for any crimes an addict commits. Kender feels that addicts by default are responsible for their actions. He mentioned that many of these people play the victim and use this status to walk away from any true punishment.

About being a victim.

Oooh Yeah, Life Goes On

Posted by Raven on 28th April 2005

Somehow I ended up back on the east coast. I don’t remember how I got there or who brought me there. Jimmy and Kim were not with me. Patty had already gone back- to a shattered home where she wasn’t welcome. I guess Billy brought me to North Carolina…to Fayetteville (so I was told). The boomin little city of the times. There are lots of soldiers down there…Fort Bragg and Camp Lejeune. Lejeune is where my hubby met me. I say that because I don’t remember meeting him. I was too drunk and numb. He was a Marine.

Wearing The Inside Out

Posted by Raven on 27th April 2005

The last thing I remember thinking about was killing myself. I woke up to a brightly lit room with a cold draft rushing over me. I felt something hard down my throat (it was a intubation tube). You can’t talk or swallow or move your lips with one of these hooked up. I also felt a mask over my face (it was a re-breather)…I tried to move my hands, but they wouldn’t budge. (They were restrained with ties downs). It was scary as hell.

Great Gig In The Sky

Posted by Raven on 26th April 2005

This is probably the worst part of my Wonder Years story. It is disgusting and sad and it makes me cry just thinking about it. It’s almost unbelievable, but it happened and it is why I feel crazy sometimes.

Indoctrination Into The Life of the Dead

Posted by Raven on 10th March 2005

Hmm. I guess a rating of X could apply here, but it isn’t that bad. But it does have ADULT subject matter and is very graphic. Part Two of the Wonder Years. Consider yourself warned. Read the rest of this entry »

Wonder Years

Posted by Raven on 9th March 2005

Some people wonder why I’m crazy…I decided to write about it. It’s hard to bring these experiences to a keyboard. Tales from the other life. Long and probably very boring. Read the rest of this entry »
