The Personal Stuff

• Name: Krista Diane (My initials are K.D., and I sign all my art and writings, 'KayDee C.')

• Birth Date: 08/08/68
• Zodiac: Leo the Lion (Chinese: The Monkey)
• Blood Type: O Positive
• Fave Colors: Dark blues and greens
• Marital Status: Divorced / In A Commited Serious Relationship
• Children: Two (Boy-2/9/87 & Girl-3/23/93)
• Background: Born in Florida as a military brat at Patrick AFB. Moved around to Hawaii (Hickam AFB), Ohio (Wright-Patt AFB), Hawaii (Hickam AFB), and back to FL (Tyndall AFB)...where I ended up becoming a military spouse. I had my kids and moved around to Ohio (Wright-Patt AFB), Okinawa (Kadena AFB), and New Jersey (McGuire AFB). I now reside in Florida again.
• Hobbies: Writing poetry, ranting, drawing/digital illustrating, singing, cross-stitching, origami, designing & creating websites and graphics, and collecting anything Hello Kitty. ^.^
• Likes: Hello Kitty (Sanrio in general), movies of all types (and I like musicals :þ), anime, lions, manatees, elephants, dolphins, and whales (have adopted them for charity). Hell, let's just say most animals. The Moon, sunsets, quiet moments in the park, spring water from Canada, chocolate, coffee, and the scent of vanilla. My musical tastes run wide. I like a huge array of music, and as a general rule...anything besides country and rap. I have played/play the piano, bells, oboe, glockenspiel, piccolo, and flute. I lettered in high school for band ^.^;; (Those marching uniforms were hideous, and yes I was a band geek and am still a dork)
• Dislikes: Stupid people, obsessive people, religious zealots, racists/bigots, the "my shit don't stink" people, people who constantly refer to themselves in the third person (yes, you know your name, now learn the pronoun 'I', thanks), bad drivers, thieves, liars, abusers, my ex-husband, cats, coconuts, mushrooms, water with an aftertaste, strong smells that kill my sinuses, and those that think a person must be wafer thin to be attractive and beautiful.

I currently find myself over 65 pounds lighter, and still dropping.
