I edited my profile with Thomas' Myspace Editor V4.4
New Facts about Christiane:
She’s a lefty, she walks in to glass doors on a regular basis, she loves thunderstorms, she DOES NOT like to wake up early, she steals covers, her favorite color is the color of the sky at sunset, she loves to look at the moon, she’s a Leo. Christiane has almost no sense of direction and gets turned around even in her hometown – but she has an uncanny memory for phone numbers. Christiane loves poetry – she loves to read it and she loves to write it. Christiane has been known to drink hot chocolate even on 90 degree days in the summer. Christiane LOVES the beach - she loves the sun, and the sand, string bikinis, and huge waves! Christiane first learned to play the piano on a wooden keyboard (that did not play). In high school Christiane trained to become a professional ballet dancer on full scholarship at The Kirov Academy in Washington, D.C. Christiane draws blood very nearly every time she restrings her guitar, she graduated from college in 3 short years before her 21st birthday, and she once traveled through the Greek Pelopeonnese Islands. Christiane and her sister Jocelyn co-founded Wildfire Productions in November of 2003. In three years Wildfire has produced two full length plays, a weekend of One Acts, several weekly reading series, and released Christiane’s debut album, Saltwater, under a division of Wildfire - O'Szabo Records.
