My name, is Trista, yes like the Bachelorette, only way cooler. I grew up, for the most part, in Cartersville, Georgia, for those of you that are unfamiliar with the area, which I suspect most of you are, it's about an hour north of Atlanta. I started out like any other Southern girl, still am just your average joe Southern girl actually. When I turned three years old, I began in muscial theater, starting out as one of the Snow Children in the musical "Carousel". I acted pretty much my whole life until I turned ninteen, all musicals still do some projects on again and off again. I'm not able to move as fluidly on the stage as what I once did. I broke my leg, sustained some nerve damage, but hey, life can't go perfect all the time, but if a role calls for no dancing and an individual walking with a cane, I'm your gal!
Amongst the dramatic experience of my teen years, came more drama. Things I won't really go into at the present time, perhaps another. Put it this way, I was extremely talented at showing my parents and close friends the side of me I wanted them to see and not the turmoil brewing inside. Fell in with the wrong guy dating wise, did a few drugs, drank, not healthily or socially, but the worse kind you could imagine, and smoked, because the director I had at the time said it would do wonders to keep me thin. She was right, it did, along with the celery and grapefruit only diet she had me on, but it's an expensive habit, and while I still have cravings to do so sometimes, I just don't, but I'm human, and sometimes I may slip with that mentality.
Hmm... what else is there to tell? I like movies, folk music(I play it actually), 80s rock, love to read, and, as I'm sure you guys will find out, I'm an avid Buffy the Vampire Slayer fan. Go on, ask me a question about it. I guarantee you I can answer it! Oh, yeah, um, as close friends will tell you, I'm chalked full of useless information. I think I do pretty decently for someone that the doctors told my parents that my fever with yellow jaundice was so high, a couple of days after I was born, that I would be mentally retarded. I think I'm relatively normal. I have a few abnormal moments, but be real, who doesn't? Granted, yes, I eat one thing at a time, in alphabetical order no less, I'm scared out of my MIND of rabbits(I had that fear long before Anya did on Buffy), there's a story there. Big rabbit, chased me(they said it just followed me), bit me, I have a scar, physically and emotionally. So there's the Sunday school version. I play a total of eight instruments: guitar, drums, bass, piano, tambourine, cymbals, mandolin, banjo, organ, and working on learning the dulcimer and harmonica. Music just makes me happy. I absolutely LOVE the indie/rock/folk band Common Rotation. They just have it.
Biggest role models are my grandmother, for her bravery and kindness during her time on earth. Things just aren't easy for some people. Amber Benson, for her talent. For those of you that aren't familiar with the name, she played Tara on BtVS, but she is not only an extremely talented actress, but also director, screenplay writer, novel author, and has a voice that makes you kinda want to pull an Ursula from "The Little Mermaid". Hmmmm.... I wonder where I can get one of those little shell things... Probably going to catch a lot of flack for this one, but I really admire Angelina Jolie's humanitarian efforts. The girl takes a lot on her plate. Gotta give her credit for that, and I mean, who wouldn't have wanted Brad Pitt, you know, before he grew the primitive man looking thing in his face. Just saying. The boy needs a razor.
Well, I hope I haven't bored you guys too terribly. I think you officially know as much about me as I do. Look forward to starting fresh with this new blog! YAY! Laters!
