Hi! My name is Dolly Ann Warren Stroupe AKA Fairy IrishTwilight,
irishrosebud36d, Mom, wife, sister, daughter, and last, but not least, best
friend. /here is where I get to tell you all about me! I'm a newlywed, of 4
months, married on January 6th, 1999, to Tim, who I have been with for the last
5 years.
I have one son, of which I'm very proud of, named Robert, and you can visit his website at
The Witches Gathering. His 18th birthday is May 2nd, and I've raised him to have a mind of his own. So, please, everyone that reads this, I am not Pagan, I'm not Christian, I'm just not really sure what I am. The only thing I know is that I believe in a higher power, and that if you do wrong, it definately comes back on you! So, I try to treat people like I'd want them to treat me. My mother and father have instilled that into me.I also live with my two best friends, Jen and Nicole, and Nicole's boyfriend, Chanss. That makes us a big household of 6! Thankfully, we have a 2 story house, but AHHHH only ONE bathroom!! We have 6 dogs, 7 cats, 2 iguanas, one weighs 8 lbs., and a 10 foot red-tailed boa! The animals outnumber us! We live in a little town in the Foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains, near Asheville, NC.
Which reminds me, in Asheville, sits one of my favorite places in the entire
world, besides the beach, The Biltmore
House. 
It was built
over 100 years ago, and took 1000 men, 5 years to build. So, if you're ever this
way, that is a definate "must-see!" If you're familiar with the movie,
"Ritchie-Rich", that's the Biltmore House! It was also in the movie
"Private Eyes" with Don Knots & Tim Conway, a long time ago, It is
truly a castle that takes your breath away each and every time you see it! The
love and the craftsmanship is just absolutely, positively astounding! We go each
year, I reccommend Christmas time, they have trees in every room, due to the
fact that George Vanderbilt opened it on Christmas Eve in 1895, even though it
was supposed to be just his summer home.
I also love the beach! I try to go only during the full moon, But to me, the water is my home. We try to go at least once a year, or I miss it too much. We usually go to Carolina Beach, near Wilmington, NC.
As far as my interests, I love to sing, dance, watch movies, spend time with
my family, who are very near and dear to me. Some of my favorite shows and
movies are:
Beauty and the Beast (the series)
Legends of
the Fall
Titanic
Legend
and My
So-Called Life
Anything
with Whoopi, and anything with Keanu Reeves. My music tastes range from
classical to rap & R&B. I am slightly obsessed with the Backstreet Boys,
Nick Carter, in particular! So what if he's only 17! He's only 3 years younger
than my husband!! (I'm shameless, I'm 37 married to a 20 year old, who loves me,
and I love him!)
My life has pretty much calmed down, and is peaceful now. Or as peaceful as
my crazy life can get! I live by Murphy's Law, if it can happem, it happens to
me! I had 2 wonderful brothers, both now are gone, I had 2 sisters, and one is
gone, but I am very close to the remaining one. I have learned in the past few
years how important it is to be close to your family, so I try every day to do
that. I got gipped, because I was a suprise at 43 to my mom, so all of my family
is considerably older than me, and most of my neices and nephews are older, too.
It's been a hard life, full of lessons, and I'm having to learn to trust all
over again, which has been very hard for me. The people that took this trust
away, were people that I believed in. But thanks to my new husband,, my son, and
the great friends I have, I am slowly beginning to trust. There is a time for
everything, and this is my time to learn. But it's a long road, and I know I'll
reach the end with many lessons learned, and many scars.
So, my philosophy is "Love with all your heart, believe, and trust with
all that you have. Our time in this world is so short, and that's the only way
to do it."
