First off, I am MARRIED!! I am here for friendship ONLY! I enjoy meeting new people from all around. If you get gifts, stickers, etc from me it's because I'm being friendly and just saying "hello". Now a little about me...I'm Christy, I've been on MyYearbook for 3 years and I enjoy spending time talking to people and battling. I'm eccentric at times, have a wicked sense of humor, am laid back, straight forward and loyal to my friends. I'm very sweet until you step on my toes. =]
