...not to introduce myself!
I'm Noelegy, and in no particular order, I am:
Libertarian, Southern, Texan, type 2 diabetic, married (second marriage), a stepmom, an adoptee, a Capricorn, and an English major. My bachelor's is from Texas Woman's University, with a minor in fine arts and computer arts. I'm currently selling my soul to the medical billing industry.
I enjoy: reading, writing, crocheting, drawing, computer artwork, computer gaming, and four-wheeling. I share my home with my husband, my 16-year-old stepson (I have two older stepsons who are grown and moved out), a dog, four cats, three ferrets, and some fish. My favorite television shows are "CSI," "Mythbusters," "Dirty Jobs," and "The Simpsons." My favorite music is progressive classic rock: Jethro Tull, Kansas, The Moody Blues, Pink Floyd, Rush, etc. My favorite cuisine is Indian and Middle Eastern, and I was a vegetarian for eight years before reintroducing meat into my diet after I learned I was diabetic.
I am pro-choice, pro-Second Amendment (although I don't own any guns), anti-illegal immigration (legal is just fine), in favor of GLBT rights and equality, and I vote. I'm fairly well divided along the liberal/conservative schism, although I feel more comfortable among conservatives because they just don't tend to get as shrill and nasty as liberals. I don't think of myself as being from a "red" or "blue" state: see Purplethink.org to see what I mean. I believe in the power of the third party to change the political landscape.
I have freckles, tattoos, piercings, and scars. I have no children of my own and probably will never be able to have them, but I am a dedicated stepmom (even my husband's ex says I'm "the perfect stepmom") and my husband and I hope to adopt a little girl someday. I'm in touch with my biological family--a huge blessing that came into my life when they found me in 2001. I have two adoptive brothers, three half-brothers, one half-sister, four nephews, five nieces, and one grand-nephew. I have two moms and one dad, one mother-in-law and two fathers-in-law!
It's a wonderful life.
