So, hi! I’m Christy, I’m 21, I live in Virginia, I (sometimes) go to school, majoring in studio art. I am very passionate about animals, art, and music, and not much else. I work at Petco, which I love. I don’t know what I want to be when I grow up.

My best friends are:

• my two dogs: Indie the pit bull mix and Panda the border collie mix
• my five cats: Shorty, Chester, Sammi, Buffie, and RC
• my bunny Hotot
• my turtle Tom Green and
• my degu (google it) Degu

I write a lot and make zines. Speaking of which, I’m starting a zine distro that you should check out (see link above). I’m super into animal rights, and try to live my life accordingly. Not vegetarian, but I don’t eat much besides cereal lately anyways. I love tattoos and have seven. For art/crafts, I’m into painting, drawing, photography, screenprinting, collage, readymade/assemblage, and imagining. I like boys and girls. I don’t like labels. I want to save the world.
