Just a little bit about me!
I usually hate writing in these things and talking about myself but I figured that since I actually have a few people who have added me as friends on here I would let you all know a little bit about myself. Hopefully you guys will post or comment me with a few things about yourself because that would be awesome. Okay so here goes!
Basics:
-My full name is Kristin Nicole Statler (I love the fact that I have the same middle name as Hayley Williams even though hers is spelled differently)
-I'm 26 years old. Born on November 24, 1982.
-I was born in Long Beach California and have lived here pretty much entire life except for a year and a half from June 2006 to January 2008 when I lived in Sacramento with my best friend Rosebud.
-If it were possible for your soul mate to be a friend rather than a lover Rosebud would be my soul mate.
-I have an older sister named Tara who is a two and a half years older than me. She and I actually get along 95% of the time unlike most siblings.
-My parents are both pretty much hippies. My dad really does still smoke MJ on a daily basis even though he tries to hide it from me.
-I've worked for the same used bookstore called Once Read Books since I was 15 except for while I was living in Sacramento when I worked at Target (ew ew ew. I don't miss that job at all). Oh and I've known my boss since I was 5 when my dad started working for him. How many people can say that hmm?
-I am a student at Long Beach City College and have been for entirely too long. I was studying to be a teacher at first then decided I wanted to major in human services thus losing a lot of units for switching majors.
-I've had scoliosis since I was 5 and have had one surgery to try to correct it when I was 9. Unfortunately that didn't do a whole lot of good so I still have a pretty obvious curve to my spine.
Personality:
-My mother always tells me I'm a nurturer. I hate seeing my loved ones and friends hurting in any way. If there's ever anything I can do to help, even if it means putting myself out I'm going to do it.
-My favorite philosophy in life is "treat others how you wish to be treated" It's not really that hard to live by folks. I promise it really isn't.
-However, I have a tendency to be a tad opinionated. I'm not afraid to speak up when I believe in something. Don't like it, tough shit. If I think what you're doing is wrong and/ or immoral you better believe I'm going to speak up about it. If I think what you're doing is amazing and admire it I'm going to speak up about that too.
-Believe it or not I like music of all kinds. Literally anything from oldies, jazz, good irish folk songs to alternative rock, classic rock, power pop, pop, hip hop, some rap and everything in between. Even a few (a very VERY few) country songs now and again.
-I am obsessed with music. I tend to get a little obsessive when it comes to the bands I like.
-My current two top obsessions are Cobra Starship and The Cab, although I also like Say Anything, 3oh3, Forever The Sickest Kids, All Time Low, Paramore, Fall Out Boy, Panic At the Disco, Metro Station (come on guys Trace Cyrus is not THAT ugly), The Hush Sound, Gym Class Heroes, Katy Perry, Midtown, (I'm obsessed with Gabe Saporta, DUH), Cute Is What We Aim For, Head Automatica, Glassjaw, 30 Seconds to Mars, Taking Back Sunday, Red Jumpsuit Apparatus, My Chemical Romance, The Used, All American Rejects, Hey Monday, and probably a gazillion others I can't even think of right now.
-I am a hopeless fangirl who loves going to concerts.
Concerts I've been to:
-Gloria Estefan (when I was 6 or 7. I went with my cousin's because my sister had gone to the Icecapades the year before)
No Doubt in 1997: I miss the Tragic Kingdom days when Gwen Stefani wasn't such a sell out
-Good Charlotte :Young and Hopeless tour in 2003 I think
-JC Chasez : 2003 (Shut up, Rosebud was obsessed with Nsync thus getting me obsessed with them)
-Simple Plan: 2004 (I waited in the rain and got absolutely soaked before that concert)
-Vans Warped tour :Fall Out Boy, Senses Fail, My Chemical Romance, Tsunami Bomb and a bunch of others I can't even remember anymore. (My big sister got in a fight defending me in the My Chem mosh pit then got stung by a bee an hour later. I'm never going to forget that day)
-Mest: Fall 2005 I think (I was about 2 feet from Tony Lovato the whole time and got a smile and a wave that night and it made my entire life complete for quite awhile)
-30 Seconds to Mars: Spring 2006 (I went with Rosebud and Chantel while Chantel was pregnant. They all blessed Chantel's tummy. I also got a hug from Jared Leto that night. Never EVER going to forget that)
-Taste of Chaos 2007: The Used, Aiden, Senses Fail, and a few others I can't really remember too well. (Rosebud and her niece Kirsten left me in the mosh pit by myself because they didn't want to get knocked around so I rocked my ass off and screamed my lungs out by myself the whole time. I loved it!)
-Say Anything: March 2008 (Went with my friend Sarah and was 3rd row from the front the whole time. I have so many amazing picts from that night. I fell completely in love with Max Bemis even more that night)
-Warped tour 2008: Cobra Starship, All Time Low, Rise Against, Gym Class Heroes, Say Anything, Katy Perry, Reel Big Fish, Norma Jean (We got there late and only saw the last 5 minutes of Cobra Starship which made me super sad. I got a Monster energy drink ball thrown at me during Norma Jean and I deflated it and kept it. Also met Say Anything and got a hand shake from Max Bemis which is another moment I will never forget. Wanted to meet Katy Perry but the line was way too long. Oh and we nearly got killed in the most pit for Rise Against because my friend Lizette loves them and swore we were going to be fine. Then a fight broke out and she freaked out and wouldn't go near any mosh pits after that. Gy,m Class Heroes blew me away that night)
-Sassyback tour: Cobra Starship, Forever The Sickest Kids, Hit the Lights, Sing it Loud: (October 2008) (As soon as me, my sister and her boyfriend walked up to the venue we got a smile and a wave from Gabe, which made my night right there. All of the bands were amazing even though once again I was in the mosh pit by myself. Cobra Starship absolutely blew me away especially since I knew Gabe was having problems with his voice at the time. I loved how many times that man thanked the audience that night. Yes I fell in love with him even more that night)
-I WILL BE SEEING FALL OUT BOY, COBRA STARSHIP, ALL TIME LOW, METRO STATION AND HEY MONDAY DURING THE SECOND FOLIE A DEUX TOUR IN APRIL AND I CAN'T WAIT!
-If all goes my way I will also being seeing Bamboozle Hoodwink at the Anaheim house of blues thus seeing We The Kings, Forever the Sickest Kids, Mercy Mercedes and another band I can't remember the name of.
I have more to add to this but I have to leave work now so I'm ending it here. Tell me a few things about yourselves. I'm curious as to who I've really added on this thing. :)
<3 Kristin
