About Me



Who am I? Who are you? Why do we exist? Well, to congregate on myspace of course. I am Christina. I was born in Chicago Illinois and moved to Kansas when I was one. I have lived here all of my life, in Johnson County Kansas (not on a farm you stereotypical assholes). I live in a city, one that Money Magazine voted 6th best place to live in the United States. But that has absolutely nothing to do with who I am.
I am a woman who is relatively shy in crowds. I don’t like them. They are loud, writhing, and generally democratic. The one exception to this would be a dance floor, but that is a beast of a whole different genome. When not dancing to whatever beat is bumping the airwaves, I like to listen to rock, metal, thrash, industrial, early nineties punk, and techno. Throw a little Mozart into that mix as well.
I grew up the typical JoCo girl. As such, I was granted a lot of things, such as useless talent # 12: Piano. I played for a good ten years, and classical pretty much consumed my life. There’s not much to say about the greater part of my existence. It consisted of a lot of music competitions, public education, band concerts, and the occasional run in with the cops. Like I said—run of the mill stuff. At the moment I am finishing my sophomore year of college as an English major. Now you are obligated to watch for grammatical errors.
Aside from my eccentric musical tastes, shy attitude, and torturously normal life, I hear I am an interesting person. Whatever. People say the sky is falling. So what do I do? I read. Reading, along with waterskiing, is the thing that makes me the most happy. My bookshelves are brimming with cheap horror and sci-fi/fantasy paperbacks. I also love movies. Guns, cars, swords, cards… I’m a total guy when it comes to cinema, and one of those people who watches commentaries all the way through. What can I say? Some of them are absolutely hilarious, and I love knowing in what scenes the actors were drunk off their asses.
Ok, but really… the nitty gritty. I don’t believe in god. I am attracted to blond, European badasses. My hands are always cold. I love to drive in fifth gear. I am very lazy. I have a miniature schnauzer named Velvet. I love to play video games, make playlists, and photoshop pictures. I have a fetish for chocolate covered raisins and fuzzy hair (not together). I bake a mean angel food cake and would go to the ends of the earth for a good piece of garlic bread.
I also write. One of my goals is to publish a book someday. No, not to make lots of money as an author because the day an author such as myself makes the big bucks is the day Nessy swims ashore with the little mermaid on its back. I write because it’s what I enjoy doing, and if I didn’t write this shit down then I’d go certifiably insane. Most of what I write is posted in my blog at some point or another. Feel free to read and/or laugh at it.
And that’s basically it. This is me, and well, this is my space. Enjoy.
