Hello, My name is Christina. Those who know me call me Chrissy or Ariel.
I've been married to my husband Jacob for 4 years this Halloween. We moved back to the Eastern Shore of Maryland from Kansas about 3 years ago, and are trying to make a go of it. I decided to build this site so that family and friends could keep up with the craziness that goes on in our lives, as crazy as life has become, as well as let new friends know some things about ourselves that just never comes up in conversations and such.
I have had 5 children (4 sons and 1 daughter) of which I only have my oldest son living with me now. Unfortunately I lost custody of my other children due to circumstances rooting from my first marriage goin sour. I love and miss all of my children and hope someday I will get to see them again. I am very proud of my son Zed that does live with me, as he has come a very long way. He along with 2 of my other sons have a disease known as "Pelizaeus-Merzbacher" or PMD for short. It is an X linked disease that the mother carries, which effects the milon in the brain so that there is not enough. Very much like Cerebral Palsy, it also effects their muscle and bone developement, they have issues with poor immune systems, and issues with their respiratory systems. Speach and simple motor skills can be very difficult for these children as well. Zed has over come many obstacles in is 16 years, from being premature at birth and having heart surgery at 2 weeks old, along with other heart problems that he has over came over the last 16 years, to the PMD, of which he is one of if not the only child with the disease that can crawl and do most things independently. Of which except for the fact he is my son and I love him is something to be very proud of. My daughter is a carrier like myself, unfortunately I passed it on to her, which I carry an certain amount of guilt for that as well as the fact that my sons have beomce actual recipients of the disease, but I will never regret having them and giving them a chance to live. Though my mother and step-father adopted him when he was 3 I have always been involved in his life. I live with him and get to help take care of him, by making sure he has a clean environment and helping to feed him and bathe him, helping to do the things my parents can no long do, and just being there whenever he needs me. I am very Thankful that I am allowed to be a part of his life, and that my parents adopted him when I was not able to raise him myself.
I like spending time with Jake playing certain video games such as SOCOM, and Ghost Recon, Dungeons and Dragons Heroes, and when we have the time we also like to play table top Dungeons and Dragons and White Wolf gaming, both are roleplay games. When we can we like to curl up and watch movies, my favorite are just about any horror flick out there, most of all among my favorites are the werewolf movies. I also enjoy listening to Jake (Dj Ripper) do his show @ www.RadioUgly.com on Friday nights @ 11PM Eastern Time...LOL!
I am a witch by definition. My beliefs are a combination of many. God is my primary, for in my world God is the center of everything. Though I do not believe and worship God like "Christians" that does not mean I am wrong or a bad person. I am what some would call a Pagan (Not to be confused with the motorcycle group). I also believe in other Gods and Goddesses. I have had my beliefs and practices since I was a child, these things do NOT make me a Satanist or a Devil Worshipper by any means. The name Ariel is the female version of Uriel whom is one of the 4 Archangels in "Heaven". The meaning of Ariel is "The Lioness of God." I have for many years questioned the things I know to be true, as I have seen way to much to prove its existance. I have been confused about a few things, and guided in the right direction by beings that people would swear dont exist. I know for fact they do, and will go to my grave believing. I have been accused of being a devil worshipper, simply because I wore clothes that wasn't "In Style". I was never afraid to be who I am, yet I was forced to hide it, because as a child I was not allowed to act on my constitutional right of freedom of religion. For that I was kicked out of school for simply having my books with me. The "preppy kids, jocks...ie: kids from wealthy families" that didn't like me told the pricipal that I had threatend to sacrafice them...And so I was expelled from school and sent to a group home. Funny how that worked...I had to say the pledge to the flag in which God was mentioned, but I was not allowed to read my books during my free time about my own religious learning. And not once in all of this did my word count for anything. So many people out there (Not saying ALL) but most of the ones I have met that are "Christians" push their beliefs on others, passing judgement on those of us who are different and don't believe things exactly as they believe in them. Passing judgement on those of us who have made mistakes, or for simple things like having tattoos or piercings, or listening to certain types of music. Those things aren't what makes us good or bad people. No one is perfect and everyone has the ability to change the mistakes they have made. Those who are Christians put so much in to the bible, that was written by another man, things have been left out and turned upside down to suit and take control. But the worst thing I have seen in all of it is the fact that some of these people who put stock in all of those words, are the first to throw the stone, and be hypocrits....Is it not their good book that says "Judge Not For Ye Shall Be Judged."??? Sorry a little rant. I've just spent most of my life trying to understand the unknown, and trying to believe in the words of men. And the reasons I believe in God and the Gods and Goddesses and all those things that go bump in the night, are because I have seen what is there, I have seen that these things exist, I know God exists not because he has come to me or anything hooky like that, but because I know he listens when I talk to him, I know because he has shown me miracles, and has put that feeling inside me when I was in doubt. I know all things happen for a reason. God gave us free will for a reason, I was just brave enough to see for myself what was there beyond the veil. Anywayz, that was just a little insight of where I am in that subject.
I write poetry and lyrics from time to time, and draw, which I have posted a few of these things on a couple of pages here on this site to share with my family and friends. I love animals, and have had the privilege of raising 4 puppies since they were 2 weeks old. The way they act it seems they think I am their mother. It really cute actually. Unfortunately I have to find homes for at least 2 of them, which sucks, because I dont want to have to pick. All 4 have their own personalities and that just makes them awesome. I like taking pictures, but I am picky about what pictures I take. I hate having my own picture taken, but for some reason I have one to many pitures of me. Yeah Im just a little weird...
I take my marriage very seriously, and I don't appreciate people who don't respect other's relationships. I for one am one of those that will definately let you know when you've over stepped your bounds, and put an end to whatever is going on. Friends is one thing, but when you start throwing temptation around, you better have second throughts and walk away before I find out. I believe in Jake enough though, that he loves me and will have the sense enough to not let things get that far. I also know he doesn't like the idea of dicorce any more than I do...So on that note, if you have ill intentions, walk away.
For anyone else I hope you enjoy the site. Be well and safe in all that you do.
