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.

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. :]
