"Witbuomtrn?"
In my early-20s I had this acronym tattooed on my left forearm in my own handwriting designed to look like a quick note I jotted down in pen.
Whether this was a good idea or not is an open question, but I’ve often had people ask me if it was a tattoo or pen so effect achieved.
It’s a question I like to ask myself from time to time. While not very exciting, I keep its meaning to myself. My mom was outraged for months that I refused to tell her what it means. She really didn’t like that and because I’m cruel, I didn’t tell her.
No, really I love her greatly, but I can be a very private person, which you may not guess from this site.
I’ve had friends and several ex-girlfriends ask what it means and I’ve never told them. Some were very curious and, admittedly, their curiousity never bothered me in the least. One friend of mine, Nicole, who is just a genius whiz at times looked at it for two seconds and guessed instantly. She’s the only one to ever do this in more than a decade.
Jacqui has asked for two years what it means and of course I haven’t told her. I said, as I’ve said to other women before her, that if we get married (huge if), I will tell her the day before we get married.
Naturally, she’s been incessantly badgering me to tell her and I’ve declined.
Tonight, she asked me to show it to her over web camera and to tell her what it means. I told her no and she asked me to tell her when we meet for the first time at Perth Airport on January 7th. This time I smiled and said, “Yes, I’ll tell you because I love you more than any other woman I have ever known.”

IF = WHEN
“Naturally, she’s been incessantly badgering me to tell her and I’ve declined.”
Badgering = encouraging
“Because I’m cruel.”
Cruel = Mean Mean Mean Mean Meeeeaaannnnnn!
