EnchiPants: a blog about the traumatic life of a nerdy girl who grew into a broken woman

Ho-lee Shizlenit!
Ok, so… sometimes I like to watch documentaries or YouTube influencer specials on serial killers or unsolved mysteries, maybe even a few “supernatural” type shows… I don’t have any sort of unhealthy obsession with all that, but it does pique my interest once in a while. I read a book about H. H. Holmes when…

The Plague
This one is going to be ROUGH, folks. Fair warning, most of it will be a recounting of the abuse I endured as a child. “The Plague” is the (very apt) nickname I’ve given to my biological “father” – because he doesn’t deserve to be called a father/dad, or considered anything but a toxic Monster…

Time in a Bottle
One of my favorite songs is “Time in a Bottle” by Jim Croce… I heard it on something The Boyfriend and I were watching the other day and told him I’d love it if he learned that on his guitar and would sing it to me. 😛 I conceded and said, “Ok, just the song.…

Ch’Komi
First, I’m giving credit to Lang Elliot for the featured picture and sharing the site I got it from… but not just that. Definitely go have a listen to the hauntingly beautiful howls of wolves… Wolf Mountain Ch’Komi [chi-koh-mee] is the name of the wolf-hybrid companion our family had when I was growing up. I…

Writer’s Block?!
It’s fairly late, but I’m here… I’ve struggled all day trying to come up with something to write about, but I’m drawing a blank. I even looked at some of the Journal Prompts my EMDR therapist gave me, but muh brains! 😵💫 I guess sometimes it just be like that, ya know?! Enjoy the cute…

Cyborg Card Revoked
Welp… it’s official. Surgery happened this morning, and I had my Spinal Cord Stimulator (Cyborg Parts) taken out. My Cyborg Card has been revoked. I can’t say I’m sad about the actual device being removed, given that it never worked at the efficiency it was purported to… pretty disappointing, honestly. This is one of the…

Cats & Anhedonia
“A cat has absolute emotional honesty: human beings, for one reason or another, may hide their feelings, but a cat does not.” – Ernest Hemingway Cats are, hands down, my favorite “domesticated” (I quote bc 😆, riiiiight) animal. I have loved cats since the first one – which I named Tinkerbell – when I was…

Neeeeerd!
Ah… the joys of gaming with friends. I’m a bit late posting today, as The Boyfriend and I went to a friend’s house for some Easter Eve food stuffs (omg the ham was amazeballs) and gaming. Horrible Therapist?! It’s quite similar to Joking Hazard, but a “therapist” question card comes first, then a choice from…

The Suggestion Box of Inequity
Ok, don’t let the title fool you… it really is quite hilarious, given my and The Boyfriend’s senses of humor… Stay Tuned… I’ve had well beyond my fair share of shitty “romantic” relationships. Most of the shorter ones are not much to write home about, of course, given that none of them really had much…

Ugh :| Surgery, Again…
Today was my Pre-Op Testing for my pending Cyborg Parts removal surgery (this coming Monday, the 21st). In medical terms, I’m having the previously installed Spinal Cord Stimulator (leads and battery) removed.

We ALL Need Therapy
I feel like the entire world, and the varying pockets (countries, states, cities, communities, families, ourselves) within it, is in a state of chaos and uncertainty. And I don’t know about you, but… it’s feckin exhausting and I really need a nap.

Love Myself… First?!
A theme I’ve been seeing a lot lately is that one must “love themselves first” before they can love anyone else… and there sure are a lot of fancy quotes floating around out there that reinforce this…
