I'd like to meet:
Take my love, take my land, take me where I cannot stand.
I don't care. I'm still free you can't take the sky from me.
Take me out to the black. Tell them I ain't comin' back.
Burn the land and boil the sea. You can't take the sky from me.

This is the whole mexican family. My dad (Eddie) holding his grandson/my nephew Joven. Next to him is Fawntana, my older sister/Jovens mom. Then there's our little sister Kaitlyn and I. This was taken wayyyy over a year ago, but it's the family picture. My mom and dad are still married, but Mom isn't in it because it's the mexican part of the family (and Tana has a different mom). No whites allowed! KIDDING. I'm half white how could I say that? Plus I'm pretty sure she took the picture.
Alright, so welcome. My name's Kristina, but most people call me Tina. I have numerous nicknames given by numerous people: Kay, Vee, Veritas, Pockets. Feel free to take your pick, or if you think of something suitable, throw it on in there (just let me know before you start using it or I won't know what the hell you're talking about).
So this is me:
and this is Serenity
(click either image to go to my pictures)
First: the easy to get to know me list.
I'm clumsy (I trip and fall down a lot)
I love pink and green (they're "our colors").
I'm addicted to tattoos, but I can't afford them
I complain about my job a lot, but in reality it's not so bad
I don't care who you are, if I don't like you you'll know it
I don't care if you've been on American Idol, if you're a bitch, you're a bitch.
I love my boyfriend
I love my family.
I LOVE strawberries
I've met famous people before - they're not all brilliant
I love books
I'm completely straight edge
I'm not usually super girly, but I have my SUPER girly moments
I LOVE shoes!
And here's the extended cut... I'm 19 years old, I'm only about 5'1", 116lbs, and I love being tiny. Yes, there are some disadvantages, but it's fun. I've lived with my boyfriend Cory for... well damn I guess almost 2 years now. Wow. We've been together for almost 3 years. I'm really happy with him and I can see us together for the rest of our lives. Together, we run the street team for our friends' band Give Em Hell , but you'll read more about that. Before that I lived with my mom and dad: Kelley and Eddie. I love them both and they did such a great job raising me. We've lived in West Sac my whole life and it's not as bad as I can make it seem. I have an older sister named Fawntana and a little sister named Kaitlyn, who is only 2, and she's my baby girl! I don't get to see Tana much but I see Kaydee everyday and she's the bestest baby ever! I got my first tattoo on December 6th, 2008 and I gotta tell you, when he first started, it hurt like a bitch, but once he got going it wasn't so bad. Actually, it felt kinda good. Hmm. You'd think I was talking about sex here. It vertically reads VERITAS one way and AEQUITAS the other, meeting at the "S", which are latin for TRUTH and JUSTICE. Yes, I did find this tattoo in a movie called The Boondock Saints, but I'm Catholic, and these two words mean a lot to me. I always try to live by them. I'm bisexual and I'm proud to be so. If you have a problem with that, just set it aside, I don't wave it around (there's a difference between pride and showing off). If it's something you can't get over, then just don't talk to me. I don't have time in my life to deal with immature homophobes. I work at Target, and I hope to have a full time job soon. If your volume is up, the music you're hearing is my friends' band Give Em Hell. Check em out and tell me (and them) what you think. I absolutely love to read and I love watching movies as well (Cory works at blockbuster how can i not?). Music is my life. I sing, play piano, clarinet, and bass. I am a Catholic, and I'll admit, I'm not very good at it. I know I do wrong, but I do my best, and I ask forgiveness when I'm not good. I love God, and I am more greatful than anyone can know that Jesus died for my sins. I won't try to push my religion on you, I just ask that you don't try to push yours on me, you don't criticize my beliefs, and you respect what I believe. Now just make yourself at home and check out what I've got on here.
Movies:
I'm pretty open to all kinds of movies. My favorite is definitely The Boondock Saints. It's a great movie with meaning, so if you haven't seen it, go down to blockbuster and rent it. It's great. I mostly like comedies, horror, and Jackie Chan. I also have a soft spot for Disney movies (even stupid ones that aren't classics). Some of my other favorites would be: Lost Boys, The Number 23, anything with Will Ferrell, Baby Mama, any musicals, The Goonies, Tenacious D in the Pick of Destiny, Sweeney Todd, and way too many more to list.
Music:
Here's the deal on music - I'm very sheltered. Ever since I started hanging out with the GEH boys, it's just snowballed into all the local bands, so that's pretty much all I hear. I don't listen to the radio, and I'm pretty much dumb to all the current songs on the radio. I heard a few when I borrowed my mom's car with no cd player and I loved them, but I have NO idea what any of em were called or who sang them. :( I can tell you I like the first 3 albums that Jewel put out, I love Frank Sinatra. Garth Brooks is amazing, as is Shania Twain. I have always loved Bon Jovi, and I'll admit I like Miley Cyrus (you can blame my friend Fina for that one). There
s also this awesome hip hop group Soul Hustle I recently discovered. I'm open to anything, though. I love it all, and there isn't much I won't listen to. And seriously, if anybody can think of a band or artist I should hear, throw it my way, I'll look em up. One of my favorites is of course my boys in Give Em Hell. Their CD is on sale now on their page and on iTunes. They also have shirts on their page. There's also my other homies in Hoods, and so much more. Check out all the bands on my friends list. If my link doesn't work, just copy my friend ID from the URL bar above, go to your friends list, and replace your friend ID with mine.
Fuck it. I love me sometimes. I like attention. I sing, I play piano, clarinet, and bass and I'm a subtle show off. So look at me! (last part was a joke)
Now a little about the Give Em Hell Street Team: It's run by my boy Cory, Myself, and of course Sir Peaches of GEH. The web address is www.myspace.com/giveemhellstreetteam. You don't have to join it necessarily to add it, but if you do add it, we'd like you to get the word out for us. The sign up sheet for the team is on the street team page, and all the details about it are there.
A note on the boys in Give Em Hell: They are doing SO great with everything, and I feel that they are really making progress, and I'm really proud of them. I support these guys in whatever they do and I'll do anything to help them. It's not about getting famous and making lots of money, it's not about getting to meet a bunch of famous people, because the reality of it is that famous people are just more people who happen to be well-known. They're not Gods, and really it's no big deal. What it's about is loving what you do and making friends along the way, and as long as they're happy that's all that matters. I hope they can get somewhere in this that will make them very happy.
Next Give Em Hell Show:
I usually have a picture of one of their flyers here, but I don't want to put one up cuz I don't know when I'll be updating my page again. Click this link for their page which lists their shows.

There's no place I can be since I found Serenity.
But you can't take the sky from me.
