About Me


you can call me: marie, ree, christy, misty (a combo of marie and christy given to me by ro), mistyroc, murray, miss marie, reema, t.m., m, spoiler girl or kitty pong ping because thats what my family and friends call me.
i love quotes. quotes from movies, books, or songs. i LOVE working with kids. it is the most rewarding and fulfilling job to me. my new favorite drink is crown on the rocks. i am trying to learn how to control the volume of my voice. laughter is good for the soul- i try not to take things too seriously. i believe in karma. i try to avoid conflict as much as possible. i always remind myself that we are all on different paths and not to compare my successes with other peoples successes. i like to wear dresses over jeans or pants. i dont wear white socks. i will forever be just one of the guys. whenever i visit long beach, ro, ned, and wes like to sing "the boys are back in town." i cherish and love the special group of girlfriends i do have. i trip and fall down A LOT. i get crushes all the time, but for me to really like someone takes a lot. i like to do/make up funny dances on the dance floor.
most importantly i try to KEEP ON LIVIN'.
