and, what would my shoes be doing in las vegas???

About Me

My name is Kristal (legally Krystal). I'm a Texan relocating to Florida. A Texan is a Texan is a Texan, but I like it here and plan on stayin'. I feel pretty lucky everyday that I wake up. I've got a job that I enjoy, great friends, and a great family. My boyfriend is quite amazing, too (Did I mention he looks like Jared Leto?) Can't get much better.

I have lots of interests: music, art, art history (those paintings with layer after layer of paint... you know, the ones that you have to hold yoursef back from touching? Those are my favorite.), I like to learn, am impressed by new ideas. I like to read and have been known to write, but I don't do nearly as much anymore. Baseball games are great! At some point, I would like to do all of the following: learn to salsa dance, speak spanish fluently, get a degree in SOMETHING, make my student loans disappear, invent or acquire a teleporter as soon as one is invented, and travel the world! whateverlife.com

My Interests

flying, art, art history, reading, impressionism, post-impressionism, new ideas, Elvis, coffee, music of all kinds, hanging out with my little brothers, surprising people, being surprised, mexican food, etc.

Music:

elvis, the beatles, nada surf, the rolling stones, bob dylan, the cardigans, lou barlow, the foo fighters, no doubt of the tragic kingdom days, beck, death cab for cutie, rilo kiley, the flaming lips, feist, the shins, oldies, george strait, jenny lewis, interpol, johnny cash, van morrison, al green, etc.

Elvis

Beck

Nada surf

Movies:

too many to name

Television:

Books:

Heroes:
