Oh hello. I am Christina. I'm 26. My favorite things are: writing love on my arms, watching movies, laughing, baking brownies, mac 'n' cheese, taking road trips, Disney, writing, playing Guitar Hero and DDR, milk and cookies, smiling, Audrey Hepburn movies, singing Beatles songs, cheering for the Dallas Cowboys, playing board and card games, reading books, watching General Hospital, dancing, and, most importantly, spending time with my friends.

Quote of the Moment:
“I love people who make me laugh. I honestly think it's the thing I like most, to laugh. It cures a multitude of ills. It's probably the most important thing in a person.” - Audrey Hepburn

Mood: i'm good.
Music: pretending.

she pauses.

Writing is hard sometimes. Occasionally, it just feels like there's so much you want to say, and you just can't find the words to convey it.

And so you pause to collect your thoughts... and then it's almost one year later.

And you've been on a journey.

Did you find yourself on it? Did you collect your thoughts, find a path to pursue, find your sense of direction in a world full of chaos? Or did you just continue wandering around in circles like a child lost in the woods, and one year later you still have no clear direction in your sight?

I got a new pair of glasses Friday but I'm still not sure I can see.

missing.



where that patch of dirt is used to be a gigantic pine tree. beautiful and glorious. it was beside my apartment. but it died this winter. in a matter of about 30 minutes that pine tree was no more. it is amazing to me to think that something that had been growing for decades and decades could be removed, as if it never existed, in a matter of minutes.

I've had this hankering to take photos though. lots and lots of photos. maybe I am looking for something in the photographs. maybe not. but I think I'm going to try to start posting photos. we shall see how this goes.

start of shopping season.

I started my Christmas shopping today! well. I didn’t actually buy anything. but I did a lot of looking! the problem is my grandmothers and my mother just buy things when they want them. so there’s never really anything that I know of that they’d want. every year it’s the same guessing game. I know them well. I know the kinds of things they like but in the end it all seems the same - like I buy my mom a purse and it seems like it’s just another purse to add to the multitude. she’s a purse horse. hehe. so I just did lots of looking and shopped with one of my friends who was buying gifts for her sons. and it made me happy just to be with my friend.

shopping for my friends is different. me and my friends are all poor so there’s always things we want that we can’t buy for ourselves. plus, I think your family members - parents, grandparents - are less likely to speak out about things they actually want. because they know you’re a poor, just a couple-of-years-out-of-college-working-adult-barely-able-to-survive and they don’t want you to feel pressured to buy anything for them.

le sigh.

oh, but I wore my brand new Audrey Hepburn Breakfast at Tiffany’s shirt today to go shopping in! hehe! it made me smile. :]

maps.

so i've been listening to a certain song a lot lately. it's about a girl who's in love with a guy. the guy is leaving to go away for a period of time. maybe forever. and the girl is telling him she loves him. she loves him more than anyone else he will meet out there on his journey. she loves him more than the maps he is using to guide himself on his journey. she says, they don't love you like i love you.

the song is "maps" by the yeah, yeah, yeahs. the lyrics are real simple:

Pack up
I've strayed
Enough
Oh, say, say, say
Oh, say, say, say

Wait
They don't love you like I love you
Wait
They don't love you like I love you
Maps
Wait
They don't love you like I love you

Made off
Don't stray
My kind's your kind
I'll stay the same

Pack up
Don't stray
Oh, say, say, say
Oh, say, say, say

Wait
They don't love you like I love you
Wait
They don't love you like I love you
Maps
Wait
They don't love you like I love you
GED.

so yesterday this girl approached me in a dimly lit parking lot at night and it kinda scared me. then she asked me if I knew where the GED signups were. and I was still a little hesitant but I showed her. we found it and she got signed up for her GED. she said her mom had sent her downtown to sign up but she couldn't find the place, so I showed her. it made me real happy to be able to her. she's doing something that will better her life and improve her future. :]
