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.
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 , 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.
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.
5) I quit smoking those damn dirty cigarettes just over 8 months ago. Cold turkey off two packs a day, biotch! 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. 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.
