Wherein Katy X asks if you've ever wondered why you feel so different: if something terrible has happened that you just can't seem to remember...

September 19

Hi.

Obviously you don’t know me, and for most of you, that will probably never change. But I’m hoping that for a few of you out there, this will change. That you’ll get in touch, and become part of our little group.

I’m not going to use my real name, but I’m going to ask you to trust me anyway… or at least to bear with me for a while.

So.

For the purposes of this blog…

My name is “Katy”.

And I’m dead.

Or to be more accurate, I’m UN-dead.

I’m one of the charter members of The Undead Girls Online Support Group.

We’ve been advertising our group online for a while now, and we’ve had a pretty mixed response, but not a lot of actual, for-real interest.

There are probably a lot of reasons for this. I mean, let’s face it: there are a lot of fakes, frauds and nut-jobs out there, and it’s hard to know what’s what, especially online, right? I mean, it could be that the whole problem is about parental controls and limited internet access… like, a giant “net-nanny” conspiracy. Maybe there are a ton of girls our there who are just dying to find a group like ours (no pun intended), a group that can relate to their special problems. I know I was.

So I had the bright idea that we should tell our stories. The group did not react well at first. I had to reassure them that we would be changing our names, locations, etc. (obviously) to protect our identities. Anonymity and confidentiality are things we guarantee with membership in the group... There’s no argument there. But I thought that if other girls out there found out that there are people like them… people like us, I mean, who dealing with these same very unusual circumstances on a daily basis, they would see that we’re on the level… we’re real. And if nothing else, they would know they weren’t alone

Of course, that’s part of the problem right there: there probably aren’t all that many of us. I mean, that’s one of the reasons we formed the group in the first place… our “situation” is pretty unusual.

So the other girls warmed up to the idea in the end, and guess who was elected to record our various accounts? Yup. Yours truly. That’s what I get for opening my big mouth.

Anyway, that’s why I’ve created this account… for the other undead girls out there who might feel like they don’t fit in… like no one understands them… or like they’re alone.

If that’s you, then I want you to know this…

YOU ARE NOT ALONE.

Just because you don’t have a pulse doesn’t mean you don’t have friends.
