Q&A

Have you ever been nice to someone who treated you like crap?

Kill 'em with kindness. Don't get me wrong, I'll stand up for myself if I'm provoked but I don't have the energy for simple minds.

Have you ever trusted a guy when you shouldn’t have?

No. I'm very intuitive and read people very well.

Who was the last person to comfort you as you cried?

Hmmm. Probably my Mom? I don't remember.

Who in your life has hurt you the most?

No one stands out.

Is your life falling apart or coming together?

Coming together.

How many people have you kissed over all in 2012?

This is too embarrassing to answer.

Did you waste too much time on one person?

In my mind.

Have you been broken?

Yes.

Has a friend cried on your shoulder?

Yes.

What’s wrong?

Nothing that won't eventually work itself out.

Kiss on the first date?

Yes. But only if I really like the guy.

Butterflies, you get ‘em?

It's been awhile but such a good feeling :)

Last time you wanted to be away from somewhere really bad?

Hmmm. A couple weeks ago. I couldn't wait to get to a certain destination.

Are you caught in a bad romance?

lol. Soooo bad.

What would you do if your best friend told you they were moving?

One already did :( Just a plane ride away. An excuse to travel. Sad not to experience as much of each other's lives but life has that way of challenging you. Fortunately, with technology, it's not so bad. The people you're meant to stay close with will be there in one way or another.

I bet you’re wild right?

I have my streaks every now and again but over the past few years, I've been pretty chill. I'm a good girl. People usually don't believe that. The hair is false advertising.

You and your best friend, you’re opposites aren’t you?

I have a few best friends. For one of them, physically we are different but our sense of humor and interests align quite nicely.

Meet anyone special in 2012?

Sorta kinda not really. 2013/2014 will probably be better. I'm not really focused on love but of course I'm always open to it.

I’d like to hear you sing, you’re probably good eh?

No! I can't sing at all. I get told I have a nice speaking voice though.

What could possibly make your day better?

It's after midnight- maybe a good movie on Netflix but I can't find anything that jumps out.

Plans for today?

Relaxing. Still feeling a bit sick but the weather is beautiful- my favorite time of the year. Trying to get to the park tomorrow.

Are you gonna make the most out of 2013?

Absolutely! 

How was your day overall?

Uneventful. Family time.

Have you kissed someone more than 20 times in ‘12?

Unfortunately, no.

Who was the last person you spoke to on the phone for over 50 minutes?

I'm not a phone person, so when I do talk on the phone, it's usually for a long time. I Skype with my sister for hours on end.

How many people of the opposite sex do you fully trust?

Lots. Guys are the best. So easy to get along with. So much fun. No fuss.

How often do you hold back what you want to say?

Rarely. I only bite my tongue if the situation is inappropriate or if someone's feelings are heavily at stake.

Ever cried while you were on the phone with someone?

Yes.

When someone says “we need to talk”, what runs through your head?

It depends on the situation. Few things surprise me.

Are you good at giving directions?

No! But I do have a good sense of direction. I can be somewhere for a few minutes, come back a decade later and know my way around. It's instinctual. But I can't tell you the name of the street a few blocks away from my house that I grew up in. I know landmarks.

What does your mom call you?

Almost always Krista but every once in awhile Kristalena, Kris, Krissy, Wild Irish Rose, Angel Girl

Are you afraid of roller coasters?

No! I LOVE them!

Where do you sing the most, in the car, the shower or everywhere?

Car.

Where was the last place you fell asleep other than your bed?

My sister's bed last night (shhh)... It's so much more comfortable than the guest room. I stayed at her house. She was at work.

Are you nice to everyone?

Yes.

Do you currently have any hickeys?

No but that sounds nice. I'm not even kidding.

Is your hair straight or curly?

Straight/Wavy.

Is it easy to annoy you?

Yes and no. It all depends.

Why did you last cry? When?

A couple weeks ago when one of my best friends told me she was having her first baby. She had been trying all year. Tears of joy.

What are you going to do after this?

Finish my beer. Shower. Watch a movie. 

What are you listening to right now?

"Better Man" by Pearl Jam

Have you ever felt replaced?

Yes.

Who did you have a meaningful conversation with last?

My Dad about the last presidential debate.

Is your hair longer than your shoulders?

Yes.

If you had a chance to make $200, only, by stripping for truckers on a corner, would you?

lol. Throw a few extra zeros at the end of that figure and we'll talk.

 When was the last time you felt like throwing up?

September. 

Everybody has somebody that makes them happy, do you?

Sure.

Anyone from your past ever come to mind often?

Yes.

Have you ever lost anybody close to you?

Other than my childhood dog, not extremely close but close enough that it still hurts.

Is there anyone you trust even though you should not?

No.

Ever given your all to someone who walked away?

Yes.

Have you ever liked someone who treated you like crap?

No. I don't go for jerks or as we call them in Pittsburgh, jagoffs. 

Do you find members of the opposite sex confusing?

Not at all. Men are the easiest people in the world to understand.

Last time you laughed so hard you cried?

When I was in Nashville earlier this month. It involved one of my guy friends, a late night video recording and a belt-turned-collar/whip.

Have you ever hated someone, but ended up being friends with them?

No. I've never really "hated" anyone.

Is it easier to forgive or forget?

Forgive. I forgive extremely easily but have a solid memory.

When was the last time someone called you baby?

Um. I live in the hood.

When was the last time you were really confused?

August.

Do you walk out of the house without makeup?

I LOVE makeup but more often than not I don't wear any. I only wear makeup if I have fun/important plans. If I'm running simple errands, I don't care. I probably should. I just don't depend on acceptance from people. I'm usually off in my own world. The last thing I care about is if some random stranger thinks I look pretty or put together. I've been told I look about the same with/without makeup anyway. 

Do you sneak out?

I did when I was young. I'd leave my house in the middle of the night to meet up with boys I liked or my friends. So bad. But I've always been a night owl. I like its energy. I'm a moonchild.

How are you feeling?

Slightly sick but cozy.

Have you seen anyone you knew and purposely avoided them?

lol. Yes! Reminds me of this...

Are you feeling guilty about anything right now?

Slightly

Do you know how to use a lighter?

No! I can if I realllllly try but it takes effort. I recently told a couple people this. When I was little, one of my friend's parents told us that a lighter blew up in one of their friend's faces. In hindsight, I'm sure that story was made up in an effort to get us to stay away from lighters. Guess what? It worked. At 26, I have to use the stick lighter for my candles. 

Do you know how to drive?

Yes.

Do you have a brother? Whats his name?

No.

Do you think you’ll be one of those people that will get a divorce in the future?

Definitely not divorced. I'm way too forgiving and easygoing. I question if I'll ever get married though. I hope so.
