Interests? Well, I like anything silly, wacky or strange...anything thought-provoking and wonderful...anything taboo and controversial...I love shit like Circus Contraption and the Pure Cirkus...Yard Dogs Road Show... I dig raw poetry and provocative art, good music...I'm basically dancing whenever possible, I dig designing clothes, I read a lot...I like studying culture, religion & philosophy...LOVE to travel, I think rollerderby girls are hot, I almost went to school for interior design, I love camping (but mostly just in the SCA), I dig long road trips, schmoozing with friends, acting, going to shows, throwin parties...I love tattoos, piercings, naughty sex, foreign films, B-Movies, horror flicks...I attempt at photography, painting and other random arts...and as cliche' as it might sound, I love long walks on the beach... ;)
Music
I like alot of shit, man. I'd have to say that middle-eastern/moroccon/drum-driven tribal stuff is my favorite...cuz of that whole bellydancing thing. It does something to my soul. But, really, I have a pretty vast appreciation for music. I like anything from techno to classical to metal to rap to psychobilly to industrial, to old school, unpretentious bad ass rock and roll. It comes down more to artist than to genre...some of the faves are; Post Stardom Depression,
The Missionary Position, Pentaphobe, The Misfits, Dead Can Dance, Zoe's Beats Antique CD, Solace, She Wants Revenge, Bauhaus, Skinny Puppy, DJ Quik, Justin Timberlake, Depeche Mode, The Strokes, Balkan music, Janes Addiction, Hossam Ramzy, Led Zeppelin, AC/DC, Metallica, Beethoven...too many artists to list...basically anything that doesn't suck! ;)
..
Movies
Anything by Ed Wood, David Lynch, David Cronenberg, Quentin Tarentino or Tim Burton and I dig weird foreign flicks and bad b-movies....some of my fave movies are:
The Lost Skeleton of Cadavra
Orgy of the Dead:
Catwomen From The Moon:
Legend, Lock, Stock & Two Smoking Barrels, Snatch, Naked Lunch, A clockwork orange, The Dark Crystal, Princess Bride, Breakfast Club, Rocky Horror Picture Show, Interview with the Vampire, Dracula (old and new), Labyrinth, Neverending Story, The entire Lord of the Rings and Star Wars series, The Godfather series, From Hell, Sleepy Hollow, Fear & Loathing In Las Vegas, Edward Scissorhands, Beetlejuice (and just about anything with Jonny Depp), Immortal Beloved...anything silly, crazy or strange...
Television
So, I don't watch alot of t.v.--I'm more of a movie person---but if I'm watching the tube, it'd be something like: Little Britain, Ab Fab, Alias, Lost, Family Guy, Futurama, Simpsons, Robot Chicken, true crime stuff; CSI, a little sci-fi like Star Trek, maybe...that kind of stuff, I guess...but for the most part, I hate t.v.
Books
Weird shit that keeps my attention...philosophy, religion, true-crime, poetry, the occult, erotica (Anne Rice's Sleeping Beauty series was pretty hot) And, I love anything by Anthony Burgess and William S Burroughs...cuz, well, that's some weird shit. I also LOVE poetry! I really like mythic type shit...Rabrindranath Tagore and Rumi, just to name a couple.
I've been reading a ton of inspirational books and books about Buddhism lately as well...
Heroes
Anyone who can face adversity head on and with a smile...(my friend, Kristen, comes to mind)...and The Dalai Lama,
Deepak Chopra...Arjuna...Any and all human rights activists...Pema Chodron,Tenzin Palmo,
Rachel Brice and all of the Indigo Dance company ladies...Zanbaka, my first, amazing teacher...all dancers of the world!...and, of course, there's also Purgatory, Catwoman, Animala, Wonder Woman, Bat Girl, Elektra, Vampira, Demonica, Ren&Stimpy, Mother Theresa, Sister Wendy Beckett, and my little sister...

Yo I gots me a Tribe account, too... Hit me up on there, tooo... http://people.tribe.net/7d136466-ecad-4f0d-8228-c44bb3c83f43
So, who am I? Well, it depends on who you ask... To some, I'm Christina... to others, I'm Medea... Pick one, I'll answer to either... Where am I from? Well, I was hatched from an egg under a fruit tree in Eastern Washington and then bred by wild amazon circus monkeys over here in the grand Pacific NW... What do I do? Well, for my 'day job' I'm a Library Assistant... Yup... I'm a book-slinger... When I'm not working, I dance... and dance and dance and dance... I'm a bellydancer, specifically...though, I love me some burlesque and salsa... Dancing is my second favorite thing in the world, next to kissing.. it's the most beautiful, meditative, erotic, healing and spiritual art form...I feel connected to...well, everything...it's all about the drums and my hips and the moon...it transcends...everything. What do I love? Besides dance, I love all things strange, wild, nutty and artistic... I try to make it to as many good shows, gallery openings, dance & music festivals, and fashion shows as I can... I play in the arts, but I think I'm sorta mediocre at most of them...dance has become my most clear and consistant artistic expression...XX
I refuse to take things (myself included) too seriously... I like making fun of myself and I encourage others to do so as well...XX
I'm super vain...and neurotic! I mean, just look at how many pictures I have up on here! lol Seriously tho, I'm a ham and love to be in front of the camera, muggin for video and performing like a circus monkey for the entertainment of others... Shit, life's short, act like a frickin nut!!!XX
I love provocative shit, I love shit that makes you think...I like to be moved and touched and inspired...XX
I live for those moments of clarity when we see absolute beauty...in ourselves...the people and life and nature around us...it's fantastic when you can see it manifested onto canvas or sculpture, or through dance...that's a high...That, my friends, is quite possibly the meaning of life...
Who I'd like to meet:
Who would I like to meet?? Well...The Dalai Lama...The Pope...Pema Chodron...Tenzin Palmo...Deepak Chopra...Johnny Depp...Angelina Jolie...The Loch Ness Monster...Big Brother...Timothy Leary...William S Burroughs...Dita Von Teese...HR Giger...Hieronymous Bosch...Salvador Dali...Terrence McKenna...Carlos Castaneda...The Father, The Son, and The Holy Spirit...Darth Vader ;)
***No bullshit, though... If you wanna 'friend' me and then send me shit about doin you and all your friends in a gang bang, or if you are just going to try and send my pictures of your package, I'm really not interested. I'm on here to make new friends, keep up with old ones and do some networking in the dance and art communities... So, don't be an asshole... just be cool, classy and real and maybe we can chat...
Hey you, just wanted to let you know we had a great time hanging with you also. Amber really loved you guys, thank you so much for making her feel so welcome. Give your sis and her wonderful girlfriend our love. Let me know when you guys wanna hang some, get a good pow wow goin.
You can't steal Camden :) Although he was all over watching everyone dance and drum. He's going to end up being a future drummer for sure - along with a lady killer, of course... as long as I don't catch him with a cloven fruit I figure we're in okay shape.
I tried but couldn't make it because we went tooo late last night going over (and re-creating) the sword routine! It was majorly stressful~but I think we have it hammered out and hopefully Karma and I will get it perfected in the next practice to it's best ability! We wouldn't have made it there until 12:30 *sniff, sniff* How was it? I bet it was amazing!
Haha, yessss! I was just telling my sister I wanted to make them again. I ended up getting lost on the way out of tacoma yesterday and passed through Federal Way and Auburn and I thought of you!
Was great to see you as always and much love to you and the Kaiya!
