1. Do you like your birth-name? Why?
I guess in some respects it’s a rare name. Not everyone is named Cristina. And what makes my name more unique is its spelling.

Either Michelle or Isabel. I really like those names. But, [...]

Wikipedia, LiveJournal, and MySpace.

1. This is the 1st of September, what do you want to accomplish by the 31st?
A sense of mental stability. Emotionally preparing myself for Joshua leaving is probably one of the hardest things I’m going through. I’d like to be mentally stable by the time the end of the month happens just [...]

I haven’t heard anything really strange. All I know is that my Mormor [...]

2. What is the best smell?
Fresh coffee grinds that have been sitting in the fridge. Sooo good!
3. [...]

Tuesday, what a tiring day, because… I was tired from working late the night before and a 3 year old little Mexican boy asked me if I was pregnant. Not [...]
