About Me

I am Crystal the Pistol. I have carried this moniker with me since birth. It does suit me quite well, thanks Papa.A crystal is a pretty delicate little thing. I am short, I burn easily in the sun, I rarely sweat, my tummy likes to get upset at me, and I will get rather sleepy after just one drink. My best friend Alex says I have, "a delicate constitution." This makes me feel rather ladylike. I am quite sensitive to mine and other's feelings. I like Hello Kitty, the color pink, Gwen Stefani, things that sparkle, animals and designer dresses. I am idealistic and I value brains over brawn any day of the week.And then there is the pistol portion to my personality. I am quite patient and nice 99% of the time...but watch out if you press my buttons enough to reach the 1% that's not so nice. I have always marched to the beat of my own drummer. I'm not completely radical and I won't pretend that everything about me is original, but I am the way I am because it makes me happy, not because I want to fit in somewhere. I like the F word because it adds color to conversation. If I feel I or someone else is the victim of injustice, I will speak out whether it gets me in trouble or not. If I see someone getting picked on, I will intervene. I can hold my own in a mosh pit. I like to eat spicy food until my mouth hurts. I think it is fun to tease boys. Please, for both of our sake's don't ever try to allude that I am stupid. It will not be pretty. I will be happy to debate you and prove that I am right on most any occasion. I have been told that I am brilliant and I will have to agree.Things I want: truth, beauty, freedom, love, and to be a revolutionary that wears pink.I am as Bobby put it, "a precious little asassin."Bang Bang.

We entreat for them all thy mercy and pity and for those who deal with them we ask a heart of compassion and gentle hands and kindly words. Make us, ourselves, to be true friends to animals and so to share the blessings of the merciful."This prayer was copied from page 283 Awakening To The Sacred by Lama Surya Das
