Bio
Hello! I'm Christina... Do you know me? Drop me an email or something! Always happy to reconnect with old friends (and new ones.)
I grew up mostly in Amherst and Northampton (Massachusetts), with a few school stints in Paris and Geneva. Moved to Atlanta to go to Emory University in 1991, and been here ever since. Graduated with a degree in Theatre Studies, and am now a professional independent (work for myself) meeting and events planner living in Decatur, an eclectic suburb of Atlanta. (It's actually just like Northampton except that the lesbians have southern accents.)
Devoted cat owner, married, passionate lover of literature, general peace-seeker. Facing the cheerful light, trying to keep my dark side at bay with varying degrees of success.
Former goth chick in high school (in the 80's, when alternative was actually alternative, it was a big deal that I had more than one earring in each ear, and nice girls didn't wear leather jackets - jesus I feel old - you kids get offa my lawn), now your average Married Young Professional Techno-Pagan with a house in the suburbs.
And yes, I am one of those people who watch The Daily Show for my news. It's like an eclipse - I need a filter to be able to tolerate the daily stupidity of mankind. I should add that I'm a Francophile and Anglophile, and am increasingly disillusioned with American culture.
I have a tendency to fall into patterns of obsessions that take up focus in my life - in high school it was The Rocky Horror Picture Show (I played Columbia), in college it was Highlander: The Series, post-college was Buffy The Vampire Slayer (the series), and most recently Hex. Minor past obsessions have included (but are not limited to) repeated arguments on the merits of the Kenneth Branagh version of Henry V versus the Laurence Olivier version, reading everything Tom Robbins ever wrote, Dr. Horrible, the character of Robert Goren on "Law & Order: Criminal Intent", and having my toenails painted with increasingly complicated designs. I'm actually obsession-less at the moment, so feel free to suggest new ways to take up my mental energy.
Pagan Note: I consider myself a Pagan/Wiccan by philosophy, and less so as an actual religion, as I agree with Karl Marx that "religion is the opiate of the masses", and therefore should be avoided at all costs. Spiritual philosophy, on the other hand, I respect. That being said, I believe in Magick as a karmic force.
Livejournal note #1: Much of my older LJ is public, but over the last couple of years I've started posting more friends-only stuff lately, as my personal life has gotten more complicated. Feel free to add me as a friend, or email/comment and request that I add you, if you feel like reading more of my posts.
Livejournal note #2: I tend to go on a lot of liberal political rants. I don't mind intelligent debate, and hey - I even have some Republican friends. But if liberal politics offend you, or you think Fox News is actual "news", you may not want to add me...
Livejournal note #3: I've been neglecting Livejournal as I've been sucked into Facebook. I'll try to be good and post more often, but right now the best way to keep up with me is through my Facebook page.
