Hullo, the name is christina, but I guess you could call me chrissy. I'm twenty two years old and currently making my way through life as a local.
Everyone who knows me will be able to say that I'm clumsy, easily distracted, unorganized and a major dork, but that I'm also pretty a people person, outspoken, carefree and forgiving. They'd warn you that I love Harry Potter, milkshakes, taking walks, talking on the phone and painting my nails and that I loathe waking up early, spiders, most vegetables, snowy weather and playing sports .So if you haven’t already guessed, I’m Christina. Most people just call me Chrissy, though, because Christina’s sort of a long and boring name. It’s not that I don’t like it, but it really is on the longer side. Anyway, I’m twenty two and a college graduate, I majored in creative writing, but that hasn’t gotten me anywhere so far. I’ve been waitressing for the last year and will probably continue to do so until I get up the motivation to look for a real job. One that will leave me money to spend on things besides rent and the bills. Honestly, I like college better.
To be honest, I’ve always wanted to be a critic. Reviewing movies and restaurants sounds like a lot of fun. But I don’t know anything about cooking and cinematography or whatever, so I would probably be a horrible candidate for such a job. I could always write a book, but that would just completely fail. I wouldn’t have the patience for it. Or the attention span. Getting distracted is one of the things I’m best at, to be honest. My mom actually though I had ADD when I was a kid. I don’t, as it turns out. I just don’t multi-task well. If I’m concentrating on one thing, I’m okay. But if I get up to get a snack or something, I’m probably going to end up doing about ten other things before I get back to what I was doing in the first place. It just sort of happens with me.
Also, I will be the first to admit that I’m sort of a dork. I love reading and writing and am probably a bit too obsessed with Harry Potter. And I watch way too much tv for my own good. Honestly, I would rather just hang out and watch tv or movies half the time, instead of going out and partying or whatever. I love The Office and Gilmore Girls. I have all seven seasons of Gilmore Girls on DVD, which is sort of sad. I have all the seasons of Friends, too. I swear, I spend my money on books, tv shows on DVD, movies and coffee, which I drink way too much of. My mom just rolls her eyes whenever she asks what I bought when I went shopping.
I also get excited over really stupid things. I always have. sometimes I think I’m still six years old. Especially around Christmas and my birthday. My parents like to joke that my younger sister is more mature than I am. She probably is, actually. I laugh at really stupid things and make ridiculous jokes a lot. And I’m really clumsy. I have a habit of dropping things and tripping over things and knocking things over. I almost broke my computer once when I spilled a cup of coffee on my keyboard. I end up breaking things a lot, actually. Like cell phones. I actually managed to drop my phone in a bowl of soup once. My mom insists I’m an exasperating person to live with. But I haven’t lived at home in four years, so she’s been spared.
What else? I hate doing laundry, because I always manage to leave things in my pockets or toss a red sock in with all my whites. I love animals and have a cat named Andy, and I want to get a dog soon. I try not to think about the future too much, because it would just stress me out and I don’t like being stressed out. It’s way easier to just focus on the present. I’m also a horrible procrastinator. Okay, I think that’s all the basics about me.
Hell. What else is there to say...? I'm the oldest of three kids and often people tell me I look like Emma Stone, but I consider that to be a little farfetched, don't you think...?I was born on June 18th, 1987, right here in Boston. Exciting stuff, I know. To be honest, my family history isn’t very interesting. My mom had me, then my sister and my brother. And we’ve all lived boringly ever after since then.
My sister Kelly is twenty and a junior in college, majoring in saving the world or something equally important. To be honest, I always kind of forget. All I know is that it’s something complex and fairly boring. She’s always been the brains of the family. I did pretty well in school, but I always took the easier route. She was in like four different math classes her senior year instead of actual fun classes. Like, I took ceramics. She took trigonometry. I always take comfort in the fact that no matter how smart she is, she’s just as uncoordinated as I am.
My brother Cameron is eighteen and is a senior in high school. I don’t really know what’s going on with that boy, to be honest with you. We talk a lot, but not about anything of substance. He’s really big into sports. Football star, baseball star, soccer star. He stole all the sports ability from my sister and I. I’d resent him for it, but I’m not big into sports. I can’t play them well at all and I don’t understand the fun in watching them.
My mom’s a physical therapist and my dad owns the auto shop that’s been in my family for something like thee generations. Although I’m pretty sure it’s not that old. Am I completely boring you? I’m boring myself. My family is probably the least interesting family in Boston. Mom, dad, daughter, successful daughter, superstar son. We don’t have a dog, but I have my cat. Our house is equally boring. It’s a nice shade of white with navy shutters and a cute little deck off the back. We’ve got a nice little garden where my mom grows tomatoes and cucumbers and all sorts of herbs. It’s all very…quintessential. Sometimes I think my parents strive to make our lives mundane.
I do not subscribe to such a lifestyle. I live in an apartment and can’t control what the outside looks like, but my living room is a lovely shade of turquoise. Which is not only impractical, but it will probably be a bitch to pain over if I ever move out. My bedroom is a similar, but slightly greener shade. I like bright colors. And I don’t have matching furniture like my parents do. I’m pretty sure nothing in my place matches. But I like it anyway.
Oh, wow. That was really boring. I swear, I have no clue how my parents managed to keep everything so sane and normal. I’m probably going to have a failing marriage and out of control kids to compensate for it later. Not my siblings, just me. I’m off to a pretty good start, though. By the time my mom was my age, she was married and was working…somewhere. Not as a waitress. Whatever.
So, that’s my family. Exciting, huh?
