Measure Twice, Cut Once

Hi! My name is Christina. My housemate and BFF, Roxy, said I should start a blog too. I’ve tried to in the past, but usually feel weird about writing in a public space. Fuck that! I’m awesome and funny and like good things and you can hear all about it here.

About me: I grew up in rural Central New York and always wanted to live in cities when I grew up, which I did. I’m 28. I have a very cool bio sister and dad, and a similarly cool (very large) extended family (stepmom, 1 stepbro, 1 stepsis, 4 adopted sisters, 2 stepnieces, 1 stepnephew, 1 bro-in-law-to-be, and assorted dogs, cats and fish). I moved to West Philadelphia last fall after living in Boston for 10 years. I do tedious and boring work in an office and am trying to finish my stupid bachelor’s degree.

My main interest is CRAFTS, especially fiber arts. I like looking at fiber and touching yarn. I am an adult punk/dour feminist who likes jokes, rock music, audio books, bicycles, Die Hard, crosswords, World of Warcraft, craft beer, public health/health policy, murder, and a cat named Pizza. Roxy says I either laugh like a witch or like the beginning of Wipeout. I absentmindedly touch my armpit hair a lot and the phrase I’ve probably said the most in my life is “Fuck off.”
