More About Me
I don’t know about you, but I’m always interested in reading the “About” sections of blogs and websites. To satisfy your need for more information and my need to expose myself (pun intentional), here are some fun facts about yours truly.
- My real name is Kristen.
- I occasionally go by the name Cinka for purposes of Dark Culture.
- I have blue hair and like it that way.
- I was born in 1975 (the same year Rocky Horror Picture Show came out).
- I’m of Hispanic decent (100% puro Mexicana), but I don’t actually speak Spanish, although I understand it a little.
- I have 4 cats: Matilda (4), Eva (4), Oatmeal (12), and Pierre (age unknown). I love them.
- I’m a freelance photographer, writer, cook, and music fiend.
- I grew up in Oxnard, California and still hate it. I left when I was 19 and moved to Pasadena, California. I love it.
- When I was little, I was forced to go to confession once a week even if I hadn’t actually sinned. Sometimes I would make stuff up…like taking the Lord’s name in vain.
- I’m no longer Catholic for numerous reasons. I have no organized religion and am not sure I believe in God.
- I believe in Astrology. It’s about 85% accurate.
- I believe in dreams. They tell the future and solve problems.

- My favorite color is purple, but I always wear black.
- I’ve been a vegetarian since I was 16. I’m mostly vegan and sometimes raw.

- My Dad died in March 2007. It was the worst day of my life.
- Everything Wil Wheaton does is art.
- Some favorite books: To Kill a Mockingbird, Catcher in the Rye, The Time Machine, Animal Farm, Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?, How to Win Friends and Influence People, Matilda, The Halloween Tree…and a whole heap more.
- I married the man I love in October 2009.

Dear Kristen, you are unique as the way you write your profile. Introducing me Wayan from Bali Island-Indonesia. Wish you ever heard about Bali, Indonesia. But see from your travel map you did not reach Bali yet so far.
Well Bali is a small island along Indonesian Archipelago, our island some famous with name as the last paradise on earth or island of paradise or island of god or island of thousand temple and so and so. In case of black culture we also have them in Bali. We have both back culture in color and in spiritual as well. We live with tradition guidance with spiritual religion on our daily life.
Black and white is one of our very dominated color; for cultural, for tradition, for spiritual purpose, for our daily life. In GOD I believe in very simple way. I believe GOD just exist inside of your body, mind and soul. With ghost I doubt.
Nice to write here. Wish you will write me back through my email as my blog has been suspended without reason since 2 days morning.
Has a good weekend.

This is Kristen’s Mom and I’m here to set the record straight. One, I love my daughter very much. She is a talented and unique human being of which I am very proud. I will support her individuality and her efforts to be the best person she can be. I respond to her writing because she stimulates my mind and as a “writer” I must. She and I have a similar style I think. Lots of phrasing. From the moment she was born I knew she would travel to the sound of a different drum. I am happy that she is curious, that she is passionate about what she does and that she is a kind and loving person…but I know your Dad never forced you to go to confession and I sure didn’t. I went, and you guys went with. Sorry you thought that this meant you had to go. Don’t worry I know God knows you made things up. If he/ she is the God that I believe in he is still laughing his head off. Love you!
