DJ Scribbles

panasonicyouth started this chain explosion of blogs, and  since miseryXchord tagged me here it goes:

These are the rules as said by panasonicyouth:
1) Only list 8 facts.
2) You must then list 8 TAGS at the end of the post. This means you must name 8 people on Buzznet who now must do the same blog.
3) Go comment on their profile and tell them to come read yours! I want participation.

PLUS:
Each of you must tag 8 more people and you can't tag someone who has already done one. Make a friend!

Heres the facts:

by the way: I say 8 Random Things about a Random Stranger because after all, i am a random stranger in a sense, just somebody you happened to meet on buzznet.

1) My name is Christ'l. its pronounced (Chri- sell).  its always a pain at school because teachers ALWAYS mispronounce. after all, whos gonna get it right the first time?. the usual mispronounciation is "crystal" and once in a while, Christy.  a couple years ago, my pre algebra teacher - (i never liked her, but most students didnt either), called me CHRIS-STYLE. the whole year.  ive also been called "chris - stole".  and "chris-tell." ive seen more uncommon names than mine, but im the only one with an apostraphe in my name!!! i mean who has an apostraphe in their name??!  but i suppose that makes it hip, doesnt it? one day i looked up my name on wikipedia for kicks to see if something came up. it turns out i share my name with Christ'l Joris -  a Belgian businesswoman and president of Flanders Investment and Trade. ok... but i doubt we share the same pronounciation. to add to that, my last name is also pretty hard to pronounce.

2) I have an intense obsession with Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children and from that, anything to do with Final Fantasy. I heard it mentioned a couple times on the internet, but I never really found out what it was. If it wasnt for AFI, i would never have found out about Advent Children or FF. april or was it may, of 2006, i heard prelude 12/21 and since there was no official video just for that one song, i youtubed it to see if anyone had made a vid themselves.  advent children was in one of the results. remembering that name mentioned before, as fate would have it, i clicked on it. it changed my life. forever. over the months, i watched a couple thousand or so amvs, fan made music videos dedicated to advent children. without even watching the movie, i knew it would be my ultimate favorite, ever. i bought the special edition collector's set (worth $50) a few months ago - this would be the first time i ever saw the movie. it turned out i had seen all the scenes already - through music videos. now ive seen the movie countless times in japanese, english and french. i swear ive learned all the japanese and french i know, not to mention how to say certain cuss words in those languages, through advent children. my friends joke that if the movie was in hebrew, id watch it in that too. i scratched the gorgoeus box cover of my collectors set, and my best friends little sister accidentally spilled coke over the dvd cover. so now i plan to buy a new one, and i hope my parents wont find out i have a second copy in our home.

3)I like to bother live 105 radio djs on the phone. (live 105 is the first station to play AFI and other such bay area bands) Well, pestering and stalking radio dj's would be a more accurate statement. i spend  a fraction of my time...everyday to call my radio dj friends. in fact i call so often they think theyre my only friend or something. they know my voice and name (and yes they pronnounce it correctly). (i love telling my friends i talked to (radio dj) who talked to (insert band/artist) here.- they know very well about my obsessions). the radio djs and i have had many awkward and weird conversations, some of them i wont quite forget soon. ive been on live 105 radio 21 times. yes i keep count.  they should hire me, dont ya think? ;)

4) I talked to Mickey Avalon on the live 105 morning show. People were able to call in and ask questions, and only two were able to.  for those who dont know, mickey is an alternative rapper - signed on myspace records, known for the song jane fonda. hes played with lil john and red hot chili peppers and is the fourth on Tom on myspace's top. i asked mickey what type of music he listened to as a kid. im a major fan of his, and i was very excited getting to talk to him. i doubt i will ever forget our conversation. one of the reasons:

woody - one of the djs: so christ'l, do you wanna have mickeys babies?

me: I'm 14.

the guys in the studio: OOHH!!! 14!!

I sound like a 10 yr. old so i dont know how they wouldve mistaken me for someone older. lol.  but what REALLY  FRICKIN PISSES ME OFF, is that LINDSAY LOHAN is going to be dancing in his music video! WHAT THE EF? dude, get the real Jane Fonda.

5) I like to contact bands and artists - local/lesser known/ more well known.maybe more than the average person. its like a hobby of mine. ive been able to contact strata, amanda somerville, NOFX, mc lars, shiny toy guns, lcd soundsystem, to name a few. i messaged a band i met on youtube,  and as usual asked if they wanted to be played on live 105's soundcheck. it turns out they were working with a grammy nominated producer and gave me all this information, and their number. of course, everything got sorted out. but maybe someday my little hobby might help me with my music. for now, its just fun contacting these musicians, and helping the lesser known ones get some attention

6) I hate the Harry Potter movies, starting with the the third one. i liked the 1st and second films (i heard theyve stopped putting those out on dvds, NO! i still need the first one, i only have VHS for that!) but starting with the third ones, they started killing my imagination. im a longtime major fan of harry potter BOOKS (since the 2nd grade, im entering high school now), but right now i can think of alot of reasons why i loathe the films as much as snape does with harry.

7) i own a pair of battered, beat up, ripped up duct taped purple converse. *pokes icon* ive had them for more than a year. people have told me they are the worst converse they have seen in terms of condition. until a few months ago when i bought some nice hightop vans (aka NEW SHOES due to the insistence of my friends and parents), those purple converse were my only pair of shoes. well now i have two pairs of shoes!! HOORAY. This pair of shoes have been stretched beyond its limits through PE classes and general daily activity. Eventually, these shoes gave way due to natural causes and became the new grunge...then  I tried to fix them with duct tape... and i still havent given them up.. dang, my mom threatened to throw them away if dont stop wearing them in public.my mother does not want other people to think that she mistreats her daughter by giving her rags. Honestly, though, I couldn't be prouder of those shoes. but i do plan to write to hunter burgan of AFI, maybe he'll take pity on me and give me a pair of macbeths he designed himself. hunter - if youre out there, im a size 3

8) I love lemonade, more than most people do. its my favorite beverage, i cant get enough of it. its sweet and tangy, the perfect balance of sugary and sour. if my mom let me, i would drink a whole gallon in one sitting. my favorite is minute maid lemonade. seriously, i crave it like an addiction

domi origato, merci, and thank you for reading my random facts, im really sorry if i bored you or wasted your time

ok, so i didnt tag anyone, and its been what? a couple months since i was tagged? sorry panasonic, but i need to study - ive got 2 F's.

p.s. my mom threw away my converse last week and now im very pissed cause im going to the download festival this saturday and i was gonna show hunter my famed purple converse
