Name: Missy Age: 28
Sign: Libra
Birthplace: In 1974, in a dumpster in North St. Louis (just kidding, was born at Deaconess Hospital).
Parents: Mother Joann, 27 when I was born.
Siblings: Melinda (12 when I was born, she also named me)
Later: Little Sis Renee, who was born in 1977. Mom died in 1982 when I was seven.
2nd set of Parents: Aunt Rachel and Uncle Demon who begat Nicole and Crystal. Nicole and Crystal were raised as sisters to us. Or vise versa.
Uncle Demon later married Sam (bless her little black heart), about a month after Rachel�s Death in 1987..
3rd set of Parents: Uncle Kat and Aunt Stormy; who were too young to take Renee and me. It was ugly.
4th set of Parents: the State of Missouri, who, convinced I would be mentally unstable, tried to keep me until I was 21. But I ran away.
5th set of Parents: Sister Melinda (who began Smellody) and husband Raoul, who was a pig from Cuba. (Not that all Cubans are pigs. He was just an asshole.) We fought a lot.
6th set of Parents: Cinders, who adopted me at 17 years old. I was best friends in High School with her daughter Lizzie, who became my sister when Cinders adopted me. Awesome.
7th set: The Navy, who owned me for five years.
I found my Dad this year. And four brothers and a sis. They�re Hellacool.
Religions I�ve been: Pentecostal (cause I had no choice, I was a kid), Baptist, Non-Denominational Christian, and Mormon. I�m an Ex-Mo now. Oh, and I�m now a spiritualist.
Places I�ve lived: St. Louis Missouri** Festus, Missouri** Crystal City, Missouri** Herculaneum, Missouri**Martin, Tennessee**Jackson, Tennessee** Florissant, Missouri**New Orleans, Louisianna**Miami, Florida**Great Lakes, Illinois**San Diego, California**Jacksonville, Florida**
And finally, I�m in South St. Louis County, or Lemay, Missouri.
Places I had the most fun: New Orleans, Daytona Beach, Tijuana, Mexico and San Diego, California.
Fun facts: An Indian offered my husband four horses for me, and my husband thought about it.
*My favorite causes are POW/MIA's, other veterans, Children's Advocacy, Victim's Advocacy and Women's Programs.
*I have sleep apnea caused by a stab wound in my windpipe. Most of my life people thought I was lazy, uninspired, disorganized and ditzy. But, I'm just tired. That�s it.
*My blood type went from O+ to A+, thanks to having lost so much blood in the attack and having to recieve multiple blood transfusions. This is documented that my blood type changed.
* I actually met my guardian angel that day we were found in the house, and a person who was spiritually gifted later confirmed this. It was something I wondered my whole life, did I imagine him. No, I did not.
*When I was a Mormon, I had a temple recommend. But my heart was in it, so I never went.
*I�ve dated more than one guy who ended up coming out of the closet later.
*My husband, a Mormon, wore my wedding dress to the Rocky Horror picture show. I think he looked better in it than me.
*My ex-husband is the Anti-Christ.
*I slept on the beach quite often in San Diego. No one ever bothered me. A really nice local pastor thought my active duty husband and me were homeless. We always protested but he always bought us food.
*I once went to a toga party with a bunch of drunk sailors.
*I saw a headless runner while on duty on night in Florida. I was at my post standing watch and noticed a runner. I thought 3 a.m. was kinda late to be running so I kept an eye on him. He ran right past the front of my post, not even a 100 feet or so away, and he had no head. I've never been right since. That was some freaky crap.
*I�m black in my soul. I identify with people�s struggles. My spiritual mother is African American, 50 year old, and tells me I couldn�t be sweeter to her if I was her own daughter. She and I are both deathly afraid of storms and every time one blows through, we call each other.
*I�ve been homeless a few times in my life before Cinders adopted me. I lived in my boyfriends home and his car for a while. When I got out of the Navy, I lived with spiritual mom for a year.
*I went to a Nudist Colony in Florida because my best friend was running in the "Dare To Go Bare" race. By the way, the world wasn't ready for my white thighs. I remained clothed.
*I have a Godson named Lewis Sylvester Love and he is a beautiful little boy. I love him.
*My daughter was a prayer answered. Multiple doctors told me I could never have children.
*No one thought I�d ever make anything of my life. I was the one who�d end up hooking, kids by five different guys, quit High school, never go to college, on drugs, strung out, working at McDonald�s or collecting welfare.
*I am obsessed with cemetaries. I like to take tape recorders and my camera and go absorb some history.
Hmm. None of the bad expectations ever came to pass.
*See, in order to not become a statistic;I believe I have to write a book and spread hope throughout the world. It's my job here and is something I�ve known about since I was seven.
If I could meet anyone throughout history, time, movies, etc I�d choose:
Nicholas Romanov, Jesus Christ, Oskar Schindler, Mother Theresa, Patsy Cline, Elvis, Martin Luther King, Rosa Parks, Harriet Tubman, my Grandpa (the one who died in Korea as a POW), Princess Diana, Versace, Oprah, William Shakespeare, Seal, and Liam Neeson.
I�m a disgustingly patriotic person. I have flags everywhere. But I�m not a blind patriot.
Aspirations: To write a book, to be a motivational speaker about Surviving crime, to speak to the politicians in DC about Victims rights, to go to South Korea and honor the Tiger Survivors, visit the Vietnam Wall, go to Jerusalem, Stonehenge, and someday become a ghost-hunter. Also would like to open shelters for women and children in St. Louis that offers everything to them.
I�d also like to learn to fly without panic attacks. That would be nice.
Will tell more later. Smooches!!
