My name is Christy and I'm 15 years old. I'm from NYC and I love it. I have many passions. One of them is music. I love listening to punk, alternative, grunge, etc. My other passion is writing. I mainly write prose. I also like to make short-films with friends. I'm in high school, where I'm taking journalism and film, hence my love for movies and writing. I'm shy and quiet sometimes, but I'm a friendly person, and I always welcome new people into my life. So there you have it, my story compressed into a paragraph.
October 2001

Interesting Fact: In kindergarten, I fed my friend Elmer's glue to see if it was actually non-toxic. Luckily, he never told on me and I didn't get in trouble.
