warriorpriestess

RELAX.

i'm a not some weird obsessive cultie with a stable full of lackeys bowing at the a homemade altar to anyone and spoofing the accounts of anyone who disagrees with me.

in all honesty i'm a metalhead chick and an esoterically influenced freethinking Christian (non-RCC tradition: it's a heart, soul & mind faith that needs no statuary or repetitive rituals).

i come from a midwestern Baptist family on my mom's side, with a somewhat closed minded, Biblethumping computer programmer with Asperger's for a father (he tried to turn me against rock music for years, LOL!)- the cool thing about my father is that thanks to him, computer use is in my blood. he had me programming a TI/994A in Basic over 20 years ago! and i was on message boards back when they were called BBSs - modems were 1200, 2400, 4800 speeds. lol, and i actually used dial up internet exclusively for YEARS (netzero, then earthlink) until i moved in with my adopted brother back in May, bought a network cable, and plugged in to his highspeed connection!!! and regardless of his annoying (still at times!) religiousity, i am thankful for all he has taught me about the Lord. we can debate for days. but i'd rather not. i tell him to go online to argue Scripture. to me, it's both counterproductive and detrimental in some ways - as opposed to just living your faith. which is what i truly try to do my (flawed, human) best at. so help me God! =)

my handle warriorpriestess is taken from where it says that believers are priests to one another - as a female, then priestess is appropriate.

and a warrior is exactly what i am in spirit, for truth and light and good and kindness to ALL. and i can fail miserably at times when my humanity taints the mix... but that does not include standing up for what is right and combating liars and the lies they tell (wink wink, nudge nudge) even if i have to tell someone they are a fucking asshole in the process. not that it does any good, because most true fucking assholes don't give a shit! LOL

i'm 33 and in the process of leaving a 9 year marriage to a really sweet guy who just couldn't handle my intensity. neither could his family - i struggled to hang in there for years but finally realized that i could not go on pretending with a clear conscience that everything was okay, just to be a 'good Christian' and stay wedded despite mutual misery. honesty trumps image every time! and no we did not have kids. we had a shitload of kittycats and a dog. but if we had a child, it would be worth working out for the sake of him or her. children are such a beautiful gift and i hope someday to have at least one of my own. till then i can always borrow them. and if i am not blessed with at least one son or daughter i will definitely adopt and/or care for foster kids, when the time is right!

and even though i miss the animals more than i miss him (pets don't argue...) i will always love my ex and want the best for him. believe it or not i want to find someone for him... a sweet and beautiful woman who will treat him as he deserves and not cause him as much stress and heartache as i did.

so i am flying solo - but never alone.

i go with God and sometimes, also my wonderful family. which includes all my friends as well.

my blood family i love very much but many of them can't help for judging me a lot of the time with the whole fundamentalist thing and all. it's not like i walk around thinking i'm mother teresa. but NOBODY on this earth is perfect.

not I. not them. not you. not oprah. not bono. not obama. not angelina. not a single normal human being has ever been even close to total perfection, really. i do believe completely in Yeshua (aka JC) and that he was (perfect) but he was not normal, being the Son of God and all.

and yes i am friends with Cliff Morrison since 1999. as well as and his mom and extended family. as a matter of fact i help run the Lizard Sun MySpace. that was an accident of sorts (and originally temporary) but has ended up to be a lot of fun.

and yes, that is really Cliff who recently opened an account here. with all the stupid bullshit that is written, said, etc. about him on the Internet (not just here but on other sites as well) - it's about time he has a chance to speak for himself.

myself and many others have stood up in his defense and will probably continue to do so here and there. that's what family is for.  

anyways that's damn near enough to write here. see y'all out on the playground!

;p


peace & love
