Erika, that's really good. You should submit it to BUST.
Xander: Just once I'd like to run into a cult of bunny worshippers. Anya: Great. Thank you very much for those nightmares.

It really doesn't matter. It's just an opinion. Don't worry about it. Not worth the hassle.
Me too, with the submission-encouraging. I think BUST would like it.

Bust would like it, Jane might. (The magazine) Bitch, maybe?
I'm trying to think of other alt.girly pubs.

Always Anti-fascist!
Yeah? Not too freaky? Maybe not for BUST...

The message is so good that I don't think it'll be seen as too freaky by anything punkier than Cosmo -- and I think they ran an article on "10 Body Piercings Your Man Will Love" last summer ;-).
Good luck.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear
Totally submit that to BUST.
It kicks of the ass.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
Delurking for half a minute to say, erika, submit it. It's bone deep and nerve bare and brave.

Not having has never been the thing I've regretted most in my life. Not trying is.
Chiming in with the "submit, submit, submit" chant.

Because books.
erika -- I love this piece. I love the way you're finally staking a claim on your body here. Lots of sharp observations and contrasts, beautifully honest. The "my internal scars are still ugly" (not a precise quote, I bet) was a big "Yes!" moment. So here I am with another "Submit it!" for you.
