"How fortunate for leaders that men do not think"

About Me


My Name is Kristina (or XTINA, as designated by my best friend and roomate Lola) and I'm a 20 year-old third year Bachelor of Science student majoring in Biology at York University. Phew! Enough of the boring stuff. Let's see, what are the most important things you need to know about me? I'm an environmentalist...I'm a feminist (in my own respectful, logical way)...I'm an athiest (Sorry God)...I hate conformity...I hate money (which is weird, because I love spending it)...I hate incompassionate people that step on others to get to the top...I am the farthest thing from a "conservative" that you will ever meet. And yes, as I'm sure you can tell, I'm very opiniated. But don't worry, I'm still a normal person deep down. I swear. I love animals (which is why i'm spending 8 years in hell, ie university, to become a veterinarian), I love my family, I love my friends, I love my boyfriend, and I love music. I've taken Piano lessons ever since I was five, right now I'm teaching myself guitar, and in the future I plan on taking up the violin or the cello. I haven't decided yet. There's lots more about me, but I really don't feel like sitting at my computer for days typing up a poorly written autobiography. So if you'd like to know more, just ask.

My Interests

Literature, music (ALL kinds), poetry, movies, traveling, languages, meeting new and different people, conservation, trying new foods, theatre, opera, camping, clothes (including shoes and purses), science, psychology, conspiracy and the wildlife kingdom. I know, I'm all over the place. I'd also like to try white water rafting, skydiving, and rock climbing one day.

I'd like to meet:

Jane Goodal (my idol); Angelina Jolie (the sexiest woman/humanist alive); Quentin Tarantino (one crazy mofo director); Jeff Martin (I don't care that he's greasy...if he asked, I'd marry him); Dan Brown (dying to know where he stands on "divinity"); J.R.R. Tolkien (I know he's dead, but I've loved him since I was a little girl); and last but not least...Harry Potter! (how great would it be if he and his world actually existed?).

Music:

The Tea Party, Billy Talent, Alexisonfire, My Chemical Romace, Hot Hot Heat, The Killers, Metric, Matthew Good [Band], Tiesto, Benny Benassi, Rammstein, Depeche Mode, Wolfsheim, Rasputin, Danny Michel, The Pixies, System of A Down, Disturbed, Marylin Manson, Frank Sinatra, Micheal Buble, Our Lady Peace, Prodigy, THE 80's...and the crazy list goes on!

Movies:

The Lord of the Rings Trilogy, The Matrix, Gladiator, Troy, V For Vendetta, The Terminal, Pulp Fiction, Kill Bill Volumes 1 & 2, The Fifth Element, War of the Worlds, The Village, The Island, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, all the Harry Potter movies, Mr. & Mrs. Smith, Mary Poppins, anything Audrey Hepburn is in, and all of the Disney classics.

Television:

I now finally have cable, so I can actually make a list. I love CSI (hey, I'm a science nerd), Alias, 24, Lost, The OC, Family Guy, and I'm sad to say that my guilty pleasure is General Hospital everday at 3:00.

Books:

Micheal Ondatjee ~ all of his books and poetry; Dan Brown ~ The Da Vinci Code, Angels & Demons; Margeret Weiss & Tracy Hickman ~ The Death Gate Cycle (that's where my cat Haplo got his name from); Marion Zimmer Bradley ~ The Mists of Avalon (I'm actually reading it for the fourth time right now); J.R.R. Tolkien ~ The Lord of the Rings Trilogy; Terry Brooks ~ The Shannara Series; Shakespeare (he makes me orgasm); Steven King; Chaucer; and Lord Tennyson's poetry (my favourite is The Lady of Shalott).

Heroes:

Anyone that stands up for someone or something that can't stand up for themselves.

Why I chose blog...

Okay, so this is my first blog.  I don't even know what a blog is.  Now, I'm not computer illiterate, but some of the lingo I just don't know.  But apparently, according to my computer/...
