I guess this is me.


My name is Christi. I am from Warrington PA, which is right near Doylestown a hub for gutter punks, middle aged suburban socialites and the ego tripping ticket happy cops who are more then obliged to make apparent that vast difference. I started high school there at Central Bucks West, an amazing school where the teachers much like the kids realized what a joke forced education was. Often the students were found frolicking around the surrounding town or joining their teachers in an afternoon naps. Halfway through the year we were taken out and put into the newly built C.B. South; a mecca and battle ground for the likes of both "west stoners" and the rich "east cokeheads". While the transition did not come easy, south, much like the majority of my schooling proved; to be a motivation to get the hell out of a bland ordinary suburban life. When it came time to decide where i wanted to go to college the choice was simple, my beloved "illadelph" was the only option. As with most that represent the 215 proudly (Philadelphia's zip-code which i have gone as far as bearing on my back) i was not fond of New York nor their pretentious art schools.

My major which is in part undecided, will be art history (a definite) and either photo or printmaking. I chose to double major because I want a full art experience yet when it comes to careers "starving artist" is not one title i wish to bear. Instead I'd rather live above the poverty line and become a curator with the massive education it seems as though I will have to be receiving in order to get there. I am very opinionated, brutally honest, and quite bluntly a bitch so when i found that was a viable career option i was elated. Judgement has always been one of my strong points. One of my favorite quotes is "Well behaved women rarely make history" it has been and will be something i keep in mind in all my endeavors.
