My First Blog!!!!!!!!!

Hi everyone!

In case you do not know who I am, my name is Christine (Chris) Seitz. I go by Jalopy on the net after a girl from the indigo vortex decided it would be a good idea to mess with me but I took it all in stride and took on the nickname Jalopy that I still use today. I guess she is not too happy with me but how cares.

Okay so I really do not know what I am doing but I am going to go with it. A friend of mine on Facebook suggested for me to start a blog of some sort so people could get to know me. I have never really blogged but I have written long notes! I am good at making run on sentences or at least that is what my adopted mother and my past teachers’ have told me. I guess it’s because I think writing should be like talking and because I’m dyslexic and well anything doing with any type of language arts I just don’t get or at least not the way other’s do. Even with that said, I am trying to become a writer myself despite what little backing I have from some of my family and friends. They keep telling me it is too difficult for someone with learn disabilities in language arts to become a writer. I tell them just because language does not like me do not mean I do not have something to say or that I cannot tell a story or too! I have a great imagination and I should put it to work.

Now, change of subject as we back up. As I mention earlier, I am adopted. I was adopted back in the early 80’s by a single lesbian mother who was raised Catholic and found out she was gay when a nun pulled her into a closet, literally. My adopted mother’s name is Judy. She as my son full time even though we have 50/50 custody. Judy is married (as much as you can be for lesbians living in Texas) to Tenny. They have been together sense I was in grade school. I love them both dearly but we have our share of problems. Though, because of my up bring I came to be more understanding and respectful.

Anyways, I thought I would mention a little about them. Now, onto another part of my family, my birth family. I love my birth family do not get me wrong. It is just they drive me crazy because they are so benighted and callow. They live in a constant state of delusion. All of them are the type of people that are not worth fighting with because even though you have won the fight, they seem to think they are winning the fight and will continue talking after you have left the room. They are simply put beyond obtuse. The only one that has any sense is my half-sister Stephanie but she is married a man that is in of itself the definition of cretin!

Now that you know that I have a half-sister name Stephanie, it is time to tell you I also have an identical twin name Stephanie. It’s confusing yes but I’m more comfortable around my twin because well we are very similar but so different at the same time and we have been together for so long it’s hard to be apart. My twin Stephanie and I wore adopted along with my little sister Elizabeth, the bible thumper, who has condemned my complete adopted family to hell.

At any rate, we are moving on here, as I am not sure what to say at this point. I guess things will come to me from time to time. I am just giving you a little background I guess. I do not know how often I will be able to write in here because I am starting back to San Antonio College to finish out a few classes before transferring to goddess knows where! Even with my studies and extra activities, I will try to write at least once a month. If anyone sees that I have not and would like an update, please feel free to contact me on my Facebook page!

I do hope everyone is doing well and will come back to read this. Please let me know what you think.

Peace.
