I am like a tornado of anger, swirling about.

About Me


Hey it's Christina!
There are many things to know about me but here are a few of the most significant:
1) I have the most amazing boyfriend ever, Gerson. He's handsome, funny, well-mannered, kind-hearted, intelligent, ethical, hard-working, and is always doing what he kind to make me happy. How did I get so lucky!?!? ((Erick, Gerson's cousin, was actually the one that helped me get ahold of Gerson so I have him to thank. Right???))
2)I LOVE futbol (aka soccer)! I've played since Kindergaren and hope to play until I'm old and gray! I currently play on three teams: Phrixus (co-ed), Extreme (Rialto), and Lazio (San Bernardino). We're all really good-come check out a game! Aside from playing, I love to watch futbol as well. My favorite teams to root for are Arsenal, Real Madrid, America (Mex), Chivas (Mex), Brazil, Mexico, Portugal, and the USA. If there's a game on, I'm always down to watch!
3) I will begin at the University of Redlands in September to obtain my Master's degree in Communicative Disorders (Speech-Language pathology). I am excited to go back to school after working full-time for two years. I still have a passion for children on the autism spectrum but had to leave the field in order to pursue my education.
4) I have wonderful friends and family whom I all love. Don't mess with them, or I shall have to cut you 0:)
5) Miscellaneous interests include movies (and perfectly delivered movie quotes), music, reading, environmental issues, animals, culture, language, and more!

My Interests

Gerson :P, futbol, being really nerdy, movies movies movies, running (unless :( I'm being lazy lol), the gym, my adorable chihuahuas, family gatherings, environmental stuff, my mp3 player, shopping for clothes (except I haven't been lately cuz I'm so damn broke lol), trying new things, rainy weather, cuddling, computer stuff, being politically aware, and probably more...but that's it for now.

I'd like to meet:

Just some good people....those who are NOT insensitive, those who truly understand the meaning of compassion, those who make good decisions (or at least try to based on ethical reasoning), those who can teach me something new, those who are open-minded, those who want to be loved :)

If I don't actually know you, I won't add you...unless I get a very convincing message to go with it (this goes DOUBLE for bands, artists, companies, etc);p

Music:

As the cliche goes...I listen to everything but country. But it's true! =) Nothing against country music...it just generally does not tickle my fancy (exceptions would be "How Do I Live" by Leanne Rhymes and "Real Good Man" by Tim McGraw). My Mp3 player contains everything from Screamo to Hip-Hop to Indy to Deep House (not just house...DEEP house)to old school jams (rumpshaker, WHOOMP there it is) to Latin Jazz to Dancehall to Sade (she's in a genre all her own).
