Excuse me?

Hola! Ciao! Konnichiwa! Hello! Zimzimabut!
My name is Krystina...
What am I about, you say?
I am intelligent but not a genius; kind but not a saint; above average but below exceptional.
I'm slender, have the fashion sense of a blind kangaroo, with brown eyes and brown hair.
I'm only telling you this in case you should need to describe me to the appropriate authorities.
I enjoy writing; I work too hard, am very easygoing (but hard on myself).
I'm extremely passionate about everything I say and do, and can be generous to a fault.
When I'm not talking, I tend to soak up everything I see and hear, hence the title of my blog.
I love my family and friends.
Personality wise, I am cursed with NGS - nice guy (or in my case - girl) syndrome.
However, I will stand up for what I believe in and have no problem responding in kind to negative behavior.
I am very sarcastic, difficult to offend, enjoy verbal jousts and turns of phrase, creative insults and writing, scathing movie reviews, enjoy competition, and my wit is only matched by my insatiable appetite for self-effacing semantics and convoluted dialogue.
In my spare time, which is limited, I enjoy long walks on the beach, candlelit dinners, long philosophical debates, spending time with people whose names I can only guess at due to my failing attention span, reading, writing mindless articles, talking to myself, and raising my imaginary children by the bootstraps.

Alright, so the last part isn't quite true. I guess I'll see you in court...

You'll get to know me through various mind-numbing posts that I do to withdraw from reality.

See you around...

- Krystina
