About Me

Hi, I’m Christie and I’m a country girl from Weed, CA (that’s right, no typo, Weed). Weed is in “The Real” Northern California, right by the Oregon border. I have lived in Arizona for about a year and a half and while I like stability, I also enjoy change.

Since I arrived in AZ I have moved 6 times. I went from North Phoenix, to West Phoenix, to Tempe, to East Mesa, then North Scottsdale, and now I am back in East Mesa (the most boring city in AZ, possibly the World!).

I went to Weed High (Our colors were green and white too! But our mascot was not a fichus); half way through my Freshman year I realized I hated high school. So, when I was old enough, 16, I received my California High School Diploma of Proficiency (No! It's better than a GED) and after completing my sophomore year, I immediately began attending the local community college, College of the Siskiyous. I graduated with my Associates at 17 - before I would have graduated high school. Recently, I graduated with my BS from University of Phoenix.

My first job was at a KFC/Taco Bell which I loved and hated at the same time. I loved my boss (the GM) and quit the day they fired her because I was only there as a favor to her, I was going to school full-time and had a previous full-time position working for a lumber mill, Roseburg Forest Products where I was a Log Yard Clerk and a Weighmaster.

I am currently an employee of Paramount Petroleum, a liquid asphalt company, I have been here since I moved to AZ and I work as a marketing administrator. The pay is okay, the benefits are okay, but I am highly considering a career change. Anyone hiring?

In addition to my 50 hour a week job I am also a bartender for a private bartending service, Pourmasters. I spend most of my nights and weekends bartending for private parties and events such as wedding, fraternity parties, employee dinners, funerals (no I’m not kidding), etc. If any of you (or your company) is in the Phoenix-Metro area and need a bartender for any event check out http://www.pourmasters.com/ and request me as your bartender!

I am an animal lover, unless it’s a bird, rodent (ferrets count!), or reptile. I like to go quad riding, and I can’t wait to buy my own and I enjoy paint balling as well. I am a race fan! I don’t watch NASCAR on TV but I am a Kasey Kahne(who is oh so yummy!) fan. I prefer the 420 Sprints, Late Models, and Modifies – maybe a dwarf car every now and then.

I like to talk a lot (obviously). I am a Gemini to the tee, I HATE feet, and The O.C. reruns always make me smile! :D I don't have any kids. I love to read, when I can, and I prefer smutty, trashy, novels. Aside from those my favorite books are The Summerhouse and The Return to Summerhouse by Jude Deveroux. I like these books because they give people a second chance to go back and change their life. I also enjoy the entire Twilight series by Stephanie Meyers.
I use to say in my bio’s that I need an Edward. However, after joining match.com the beginning of the year, I think that I found him (but only time will tell). Yup, I met him online – crazy I know!

My favorite movie is Rent because it doesn’t censor life. I think everyone should be open to free will and not judge someone for how they choose to live. Did I mention I am VERY liberal?
With such a busy schedule I rarely have free time; however, when I should find some I like to be young and have fun while I still can!

Eventually (hopefully not too eventually), I’ll open up my own chain of bars (the ones you drink at – not the ones you sit behind). I have a passion for alcohol unlike anyone else and let’s face it, people are far more interesting with a mind altering substance controlling their behavior.
