Hello and welcome, future friend. My name is Christie, and I like to write, but I’m slightly out of practice. And I like a mess of different things. Hence, blogging!!!! (also, be warned–I’m a huge exclamation points fan)(!)
I’m super happy to be here, and am even happier that you’ve chosen to spend some time in this little corner of the internet with me.
I don’t know about you, but the best way to *truly* learn about a person is through a late 1990’s/early 2000’s-style chain email survey. These puppies are always super long though, so I’ll break it out into a few different posts. Shall we begin with part one?
*~*AbOuT mE*~*
Nicknames? Chris, Crispy
Where do you live? Chicagoland area of Illinois
Age? 32
Shoe size? 7-7.5 (8 in Converse All-Stars)
Pets? Sadly none! I dream of having a dog or capybara someday though…
Obsessions? “Weird Al” Yankovic, stationery and journals and planners,
comedy (shows, movies, stand-up, podcasts, Twitter accounts, etc), Japanese language and culture, coffee, bread, bright colors, upbeat music, being warm
Bad habits? Too much coffee drinking, going to bed too late
Phobias? Sadly, driving is a huge fear, especially driving on the highway. More scary to me than driving though is conflict and public speaking!
Who is your best friend? the husband
What was the last book you read? Where’d You Go, Bernadette? by Maria Semple
What’s the best thing you’ve ever been given? getting Jesus-y here! Redemption through Jesus, and the hope that everything will be made good and right.
What’s the worst thing you’ve ever been given? It was so well-meaning, and honestly not the absolute worst, but the first thing that comes to mind is a set of white pillowcases we were given for our wedding that say in script “Always Kiss Me Goodnight”. I know it’s sweet, but it’s so not me/us.
What are your future goals? To own a business and be my own boss.
What’s your most embarrassing moment? I never ever ever have an answer to this question, which is both a little annoying and quite relieving. I avoid a lot of social risks where I can, and I’m in a constant state of being awkward, so it’s hard to pin down.
Who do you consider the most beautiful woman in the world? probably Lupita Nyong’o
Who do you consider the most handsome man in the world? Haha… um… Keanu Reeves. I can literally feel my face turning red, sigh.
Favorite thing to do on a hot summer day? Go for a walk in nature, or for a walk in a city and visit little independent shops.
Favorite thing to do on a snowy winter day? Two words: Blanket burrito.
Who is your hero? My heroes past and present include: Weird Al, Tina Fey, Conan O’Brien, Super Mario, and Leonardo from the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.
Favorite color? Blue! But I love bright colors of all kinds.
Favorite show(s)? Arrested Development, Conan, Space Ghost Coast to Coast, Comedy Bang Bang, 30 Rock, IT Crowd, Cobra Kai, Pen15, Bob’s Burgers, and so so so many more…
Favorite drink? Fentimans Rose Lemonade, Coca-Cola, coffee, Maker’s Mark on the rocks!
Early or Late riser? Late, sometimes too late!
Half full or Half empty? Half-empty–I’m a bit on the cynical side, despite my exclamation points!
What do you say? Want to be friends?
