I am completely random and FAR from perfect. I could be talking about anything, at anytime, for any reason. I've been married almost 5 years, and LOVING it! Marriage is hard work, don't let anyone tell you otherwise. Is it worth it? Absolutely. I love my husband with all my heart, and wouldn't trade him for the world. Do I need to plaster this everywhere, or have some lame ass title like Mrs. Rach as my username? No. I'm secure in my marriage. So, NO, I DON'T WANT YOUR HUSBAND OR BOYFRIEND. I can barely handle the one I have now *L*
I'm opinionated and I make no apologies for the way I feel. If you don't agree with me, and the things I believe-- that's fine, too. If we all thought the same way, what a boring world it would be. However, I don't want to be judged solely upon certain convictions, and I will most certainly give you the same respect.
I am a Democrat
AND a Christian. No, I do NOT support the war, but WILL ALWAYS SUPPORT OUR TROOPS. They have a job to do, regardless of whether or not it be right or wrong. I appreciate ALL they do for us.
I am pro-choice. Is abortion for me? No. Do I have the right to FORCE MY BELIEFS UPON ANOTHER PERSON? NO! Someone was surprised that I had PCOS and was pro-choice, as if I should automatically be pro-life because I have a condition that can cause infertility. I respect those who are pro-life and their convictions, however, I'm not going to be a hypocrite, and say that just because I might not be able to have a child of my own, that I should force my personal convictions upon them. Many will ask me how I can be pro-choice and a Christian. The answer is simple. My name is Christy, it isn't Jesus, so I can't judge-- nor am I without sin, so there's no stone in my hand.
I am an Anglican/Episcopalian. I believe ALL of God's children have a place in his church- homosexuals, addicts, saints, and sinners. I love God, and I know He loves ALL of His children, regardless of their sins. Anyone who is tired of being judged, and just wants to learn about Christianity without the "hellfire and brimstone" guilt trip-- visit your local Episcopal chuch.
I have an eclectic group of friends that I love dearly. If you're a racist, bigot, or ignorant, I won't like you, and you won't like me. I believe in unity and tolerance for ALL.
I have a wild and active imagination. I love to dream. It's important to dream, and have dreams. Never take away someone's hope or break their spirit. It may be all they have.
I was raised with manners by two of the greatest parents, and Aunt Judy (which I think EVERYONE should have one of!) that a person could ask for. I appreciate ALL they've done for me, and the love they've given me. It's helped to mold me into the compassionate, independent, free-thinker I am today.
I am a paranormal investigator. I am a charter member of the Haunt Masters Club of Upper East TN/Southwest VA. I know that we're not alone in this world. I was touched by the paranormal world for the first time nearly 20 years ago. Some call what I have a gift, others call it a curse. I just live with it. I am who I am.
I was born with PCOS/IRS or Poly Cystic Ovarian Syndrome with Insulin Resistance Syndrome. I went undiagnosed and untreated for 23 years. It's been a long road, but I'm starting to get "well", or as well as you can with PCOS. I gained 114lbs, and lost every pound of it WITHOUT SURGERY. I have excess skin that needs to be removed. I don't hide it. I'm proud of how far I've come.
I am a local, state, national, and international pageant winner. I hold over 75 titles, including, Miss, Mrs., Ms. Plus, and Ms. Lady divisions. I had always dreamt of being a pageant winner, and at age 20, my dream came true. Pageants are no longer for those who are a size 2. Many pageants these days recognize beauty comes in ALL shapes and sizes. I'm honored to be able to represent ALL plus sized women in the world of pageantry.
I have many passions in life, and from time to time, they become addictions. Yes, I am a recovering addict. I had a shopping addiction, and if I'm given a credit card, I will max it out everytime. I can't control it, and know that I can't be given that power. At any given time, I could be in a tanning bed, blogging, writing, or feeding my new addiction of the day.
I love animals, and have 3 cats, and 4 hermit crabs. My beloved Morris passed away in January of this year. A piece of my heart with with him. Cows are high on my list as well. I can't pass one on the road without "Mooing" at it! :0)
Photography is theraputic for me. I love to take pictures. Seeing where I am, where I've been, and how far I've come with those who have passed through, been in and out of my life, and everything in between, always brings a smile to my face. Memories are priceless.
I am OCD, and if you spend enough time with me, you'll quickly learn, I have a few strange quirks. I sleep with a security cow. I began having severe panic attacks back in 2003, and began sleeping with the cow. It just became a habit. Even though, I no longer struggle with the regular panic attacks, I still sleep with my beloved stuffed cow.
I love sunshine. The beach is one of my favorite places to be. Swimming and sunning- it just doesn't get any better than that! I have a wild sense of humor, and can find just about anything at any time funny. I love to laugh, and to make people laugh!
"God May Break Us, In Order To Remake Us," how true that statement is. My life was broken to the point where I thought there was nothing left to fight for in 2006. I struggled with severe depression while my life was crumbling. God picked me up, and reminded me of who I am. He gave me back my life, my strength, my marriage, and entire being. I am now strong and whole, thanks to Him.
I love music and movies. If you ride with me in any car, you'll probably hear just about anything from the 70's and 80's. Joan Osborne is my favorite artist of all time. Napoleon Dynamite, Our Dancing Daughters, Flashdance, Gone With The Wind, Madagascar, and Desperately Seeking Susan are some of my favorite movies of all time. Of course, I LOVE horror movies, but there are WAY too many of my favorites to mention!
By the age of 21, I had achieved nearly all of my dreams. I owned a 1995 white Camero Convertible SS. I worked for Merle Norman Cosmetics. I had been engaged 3 times. I had whatever I wanted, whenever I wanted. I answered to no one. How young I was.
1999 was one of the best years of my life. I was young, beautiful, and held the world in the palm of my hand. Did I know it at the time? Hell no. Listen to the song, "Everybody's Free: To Wear Sunscreen," by Baz Lurhman. It tells the story of every young person.
Everybody's Free (to Wear Sunscreen) Lyrics
I have two godsons that I love more than life itself. They give me a reason to be a better, moral person, or at least try to be.
I love the South, and am proud of my Southern heritage. I do NOT, nor will I EVER condone slavery or any type of prejudice. I simply appreicate living on some of the most beauitful land that God put on this earth, and the blood our Confederate ancestors shed trying to protect it. I believe in a time when the words chilvary and gentility meant something. I'm currently working on my paperwork to become a member of the Daughters of the Confederacy.
I am a survivor. I am strong. I am opinionated. I am passionate. I am me. Love me or hate me, I won't change just to make someone happy. I won't change my opinion, just because someone else wants me to. I have manners, but will not kiss someone's ass. I can find something in common with pretty much everyone. There are very few people I don't like. The ones I don't, know why (see "bigot", "prejudice", "ignorant", or "users" for more details on such people."
I am not insecure, and feel terribly sorry for those who are. (Seriously). Life it too short to NOT be happy with who you are. If you're unhappy, do what you can to change it. If you can't change it, accept that YOU are the way GOD intended for you to be. If He can love you, you can love yourself. Always remember that.
If you or someone you love is currently taking the antidepressant Effexor-- please know/let them know that the withdrawal symptoms are hell. No human should have to go through this. Please, take a moment to visit this site: Effexor Petition
