• This Is Me (With Photos :)

  Since this last week was my most productive ever (I had 37 new friends in just a week) on Xanga, I’m going to post a little bit about me so everyone can get to know me a little better =]

  I’m 23, my name is Crystal, I live in Minnesota with my dad and one of my sisters (I have 3). I work full time in a warehouse, and I am the second shift lead. So I’m sort of the boss. I don’t really get to make many decisions, but I get to tell people what to do . This is my first job with a position of being in charge of people, and I’ve changed my strategy a bit. I used to be buddy buddy with my employees, but I quickly found out people walk all over you when you do that.

  Now I’m a lot tougher on them, more strict, and I yell more. Well, not really yell, but I use a stern tone of voice and look pissed a lot. It seems to work better. Hey, you’re there to work, this isn’t social hour man…even though I like to talk…a lot.

  Anyway, I’ve been trying to go to school on and off, but I’m having a hard time figuring out what I want to study, so I haven’t enrolled in any classes in a year.

  Generally, I’m a very nice person. I’m compassionate and understanding. Except if you piss me off or fuck me over in some way. People don’t usually get second chances with me. I have quite a temper and quick to be angry. You would definitely see this if you were to be a passenger in my car once.

  It pisses me off when people ask me my age and I tell them I’m 23. Then the next sentence I hear is “Oh, you’re a baby!” Or some such thing. Look, you don’t know me and my experiences. Someone’s age doesn’t define who they are. There are 6 year olds forced to pick up guns and shoot people in other countries. There are 5 year old girls that are raped and molested under your noses, so don’t tell me I’m a baby. Your neighbors with a couple kids under the age of 6 beat them. Unless you know someone’s life experiences, don’t assume they haven’t lived if they’re young. It’s bullshit.

  Anyway, now that that little mini rant is over, here’s some pics of my many faces (and hair colors). They are in no particular order…

  

  This one everyone knows. It’s my profile pic

  

  Isn’t that pink hair stunning? I miss it so much, you have no idea. It’s just too much damage to my hair and too expensive to keep doing

  

  This is a drunk pic, because they are so fun. This was the night I turned 21. I bought my first 6 pack of beer that night, and drank by myself in my room because it was a weeknight haha!!

  

  This was how I did my hair the night we went out for my 21st birthday. At different points throughout the night, about 20 people showed up. Almost everyone bought me a shot, and some people bought me more than one. Plus, beer just appeared at my elbow all night long. I drank A LOT that night, and spilled a lot. There was a lot of boob grabbing. I’m surprised we didn’t get kicked out!! I didn’t spend a dime

  

  Here’s the deal with this pic: The sun was setting, and I had my blinds a little open, so I took some pics with that lighting. I think they all turned out awesome, but my mother hates these pics. She thinks I look evil

  

  The same day…I think it looks pretty awesome with the different hair colors =]

  

  Another drunk pic. As if you couldn’t tell. I was wasted!! I’m not a lush, by the way…I’ve just had a lot of drunk experiences throughout the last 5 years!

  

  Just showing off my hair. I do that a lot..but not lately =[ I currently don't have a camera!!

   

  That's my upper thigh. I did a whole bunch of words in this "photo shoot" on my leg. That was the best one I think. Anyway, yes, those are cuts on my leg...but that's a different post.

  

  Yep, that's my ass. I personally love my butt..sometimes. It's actually pretty small. I'm not sure how it looks so big here!

  

  I like this pic because it's artistic. In my opinion =]

  

  Aww it’s so pretty! I think my eyes are my best feature. There’s a different one in this series where my eyes look bluer, but I couldn’t find it =[

  

  This is how I did my hair when I went to see the Rocky Horror Show, the play. I think. That or the Marilyn Manson concert...I don't remember!!

  

  That's how the back looked. Pretty sweet, huh??

  

  And...this is how it looked when I took it down!!!

  

  I like this one because the sun created like a halo effect...it's pretty sweet!

  

  This is another hair color I've had. It didn't work very well because I tried it over some blonde streaks that turned a funny color after it faded =[

  

  Aww pretty =] Haha I have a feather in my hair from a down blanket

  

  Drunk as a skunk we were. That’s my friend Miranda, and we went out for her birthday. On the way back to her house, her husband was the sober driver…and I was talking (as usual!) and happened to notice that he was going 90mph in the 65!!! I pretty much screamed in his ear to slow down.

  

  I look weird here, but I never pass up a chance to show off my pretty blues!

  

  Me and 2 of my sisters =] It was a good day. We were driving to meet up with extended family to celebrate birthdays in March (one of them was mine). On the car ride me and my sisters got crazy and silly. We always act that way when we get together =]

  

  I love this. My mom got me Aperature for my Macbook for Christmas, and I love playing with the colors, and this was one of my experiments =]

  

  Finally, last but not least, I took this photo this last summer. I love it. I want to get those roses tattooed on me someday!!
