10 Things

ahite ill do one

!. I live in boston and have travelled all over doing the tour thing and trying to live other places but i always end up back here. its wicked pissa

2. i got a sweet ass shop space with 4 other glassblowers in somerville in an artists building

3. i started blowing glass in my parents pool shed, then ended up in seattle after phish tour one summer , then went to salem for a year and left and blew glass in lots of states for a 6 month periods.

4. im in recovery and produce alot more work now that my head is clear.

5. some company saw my picture in the paper and brought me to la in 4th grade to be in a dog food commerical .

6. my last girlfriend lest me for the chic i blew glass next too.

7. i get along really good with my lil sister now that my head is clear i like to hang out with her and her punk rock friends they have a band called muffstasph its all girls

8. i am excited to be getting another person that makes pipes in my studio with me even tho there is another studio with pipers down the hall

9. one of my fav places i lived was vt and now my parents are moving there

10. when people ask me what i wanna do with my life and i dont know then they ask what i like i can only answer i liked drugs and tour , glassblowing and strip clubs. the only one i still do is glassblowing. ahite maybe sneak into the strippie and drink a soda but ya feel like a mad pervert if your not drunk

ok. Let's see if I can come up with ten:

1) My full first name is Christy, which is my father's middle name, and his mother's maiden name. Dad goes by Chris and so do I, thank you very much. :tiphat:

2) My sister and I were supposed to be born on the same date, but five years apart. They had to induce labor on my mom because I wanted my own damn birthday :tantrum: , so my sis and I are 5 years and 5 days apart. Maybe this is really saying something weird about my parents' sex life, but I try not to think about that too much. :o:

3) I've lived here in Ft Wayne, IN since I was about 10 1/2. Before that Dad was in the Air Force, so we moved around a bit. It went like this: born in Kokomo, IN; stationed in Vegas for a minute; back to West Lafayette, IN; out to North Chelmsford, MA; down to Shalimar, FL; and back up to Ft Wayne, IN. I was not very amused to leave FL to come to IN.

4) Every chance I get, I drive 860 miles from Ft Wayne to Hatteras, NC. That is where my Mom is from, and my parents have moved back there since my Dad retired. I also have more family there than you can poke a stick at there. My Mom knows exactly how they are all related. I can never dream of keeping it all straight (second cousin, twice removed, blah blah blah). I'm just glad not to have grown up there, as I would never be sure whether I was actually committing an act of incest or not. :crazy:

5) I quit smoking those damn dirty cigarettes just over 8 months ago. Cold turkey off two packs a day, biotch! :metalhead I am now one of like 3 or 4 of my friends who actually do NOT smoke those nasty things. And now that I am out from under that, I can't believe that I was so into it. Blech. Yep, I am the worst kind of ex-smoker. And everyone I work with chain smokes.

6) I've been living with my man, Wes for 9 1/2 years now. We do not plan to get married, or have any kids. And I have finally gotten most of our friends and family to shut the hell up about both of those issues.

7) I spent a month in Morocco when I was 15 with a family far wealthier than should be allowed. Total culture shock. The ocean there was beautiful. The open air markets were a trip, and the local men were relentless.

8) I am a singer, and I can't remember a time when I wasn't. It's just always been part of who I am. And if you go on a road trip with me, you had better be ready for a show. The only way I'm not rockin' out in the car is if I don't know the song.

9) I had a breast reduction about ten years ago. No one really needs to be a FF cup. :flasher: Especially not if insurance will cover the operation. I had never even had so much as a stitch before that surgery. Thankfully, the scars are pretty much gone, and I don't feel like Frankentit anymore. I'm glad I did it.

10) Lookie there, made it to # 10...that took a while. I think you may already know too much. Probably more than you ever wanted to. How about something a little less personal: my drink of choice is Jack & 7, and I like my pizza plain cheese, please. :blowkiss:

:stare:

:cheshire: ---cdk

OOOO! MY TURN! :jump:

1) I started working on the torch after 1 week course at Haliburton School of the Arts and I am moistly self-tought and planning on attending Salem CC's art glass course (in Sept. 07)

2)Before I got into glass I was a painter and illustrator who was just accepted into digital animation at Humber college (a very good school) but i turned in down to purse my glass addiction

3) the human figure and anathomy inspires my work, teachers have told me that I have an apparent great masters look to my work (well my drawings anyway)

4) I work at an artist co-op in Kingston, NGB Studios

5) I have 2 part-time jobs, one as a night janitor (allows me to work morning at my studio) and 2 days a week at a all natural food store (it dosn't pay much but as parttime work goes its pretty enjoyable), i usaually work 25hrs a week and I work in the studio on my off days

6)Im a geek/artist, I spend some of my spare time (outside studio) gaming, I've been playing less video games and more board games lately. I also enjoy P&P RPGS, Table-top mini games, and fantasy, historical and conspiracy theorist books.

7) Rock 'n Roll and beer rule. I LOVE GUINESS, SLEEMENS HONEY BROWN & CREAM ALE, MEGADETH, LED ZEPPELIN, CHILDREN OF BODOM, and DREAM THEATER. I listen to alot of Blues, metal, punk and classic rock.

8) I am honest, hardworking and learning disabled, i like argueing about religion, politics and philosophy, i am not associated with any purticular group (liberal or conservative) because I see faults in both groups. members and followers of both groups are usually ignourant or scared to agree with the other side/admit fault

9) People say I am funny in a strange expressive way, others say Im weird in a strange expressive way, and a few insecure assholes say im stupid in a strange expressive way.

10) I SUX AT SPELLEN SO FORGIVE MY ERROERS

11) I believe in co-op organizations like NGB studios and online communities like the melting pot :canadian:
