My life is that of a work in progress. I like to try new things, and I like to explore what's out there. To a limited point, that is!

For the most part, I am pretty easy to get along with. Just don't try to change me to your little conformities. Please. I would never do that to someone, I ask that the same respect be given in return.

I have a very, VERY complex view of life. I have been married, twice, and I have had children. I have seen some of the best and some of the worst that this life has to offer, and I've come out on top at every turn, kicking ass and taking names. I have been told I am a strong woman, but I don't see it. I just see myself as too stubborn for the alternative. I believe in God. I believe in Christ. I believe in angels. I have held two in my arms.

I put my family first and foremost. Blood family first, then those I have deemed to be family in my heart. I believe that there are just some bonds too strong to ignore. Sometimes we meet random souls, and we never see them again. Then there are those random souls that we come across that there's too big a connection to ignore. Sometimes, we jokingly call that being separated at birth. Sometimes we see other things there and while we make mild laughter about it, we know deep down that it's only a gift from God Himself and we can't help but accept it and cherish it for all our days.

Well, I've changed quite a bit over the past couple of years. I'm not someone to take for granted by lying to, b/c it's hard for me to trust once that trust is broken.

I am a Christian, an Idahoan that currently lives in Ohio, and I'm a woman who's learned how to keep strong in a world where people still consider women to be the weaker sex.

I was someone's wife, I'm also someone's mother, someone's daughter, someone's sister, and lots of people's friend. I am even a few people's BEST friend, and even fewer, their ONLY friend. No pressure there, right?

In some ways, I am like everyone else. I like honesty, respect, a good movie, a wonderful piece of chocolate, a quiet night home, or a crazy night out. In a lot of ways, I am just the most unique person you'll ever meet. I believe in fierce loyalty, but I find it difficult to forgive when I am hurt. I am a survivor of the worst sort of pain, and come out on top, still kicking ass. I believe in giving credit where credit's due, and I believe in being as up front and brutally honest so as to leave NO room for question.

Things that are told to me by most I believe, and then I have those friends who live in a little fantasy world that I take everything they say as precisely that until there's evidence to back it up. Not to say, necessarily, that they're lying, just have a very warped view of reality and what reality truly is!

I love my family, I love my friends, and dammit, I love my God more than anything.

I am a hard worker, and an even harder player. Life has its ups and downs, but I see some lessons as only learn-able the hard way. Can't stand the heat with me, don't get in the kitchen! That is the way I see it!

Having said all this, feel free to send me a message. I would love to talk with you. :)

I am also owner/moderator of the following communities:
i_m_a_survivor - (founder, owner) This group is for people who've survived any kind of abuse, be it bullying, sexual abuse, physical abuse, emotional, any kind.
piphisigma - (moderator) - this group is for Penn Foster's first and (to my knowledge) only online Sorority. Guidelines are on the profile.
losangelescoven - (founder, owner) darkangellea88 and I are trying to get an all-female Vampire the Masquerade game going. The game will be set in Los Angeles, but neither of us live there. We live in Ohio. We have a few people we know would love to be a part of this game, but do not live near enough to us to physically be here, and we know of at least one girl who wants to be in our group in person, but cannot commit due to scheduling conflicts with work and such. So, I decided to create this online community, so any female (sorry, guys) who wants to have a good, creative form of stress relief and a nice escape from reality can join.
