Kristine Michelle Sanders

"oh, hey there! you're new, right? what was your name again?"
I guess you could say that. My name is Kristine Michelle Sanders, but most people call me Krissi, so I guess you could do the same.

"so, how old are you?"
I just turned 16 May first.

"this is a really stupid question, but what gender are you?"
The last time I checked, I was a girl. I don't think that changed recently.

"girls, boys, or both?"
Most definitely guys.

"you working anywhere?"
Not currently. I should probably find my lazy butt a job so I can get some money.

"so, tell me about yourself. what are your interests?"
I love love LOVE horses. I have been riding since I was a kid. My parents bought me my first horse when I was seven and I've had him ever since then. We kind of grew up together. Besides that I love to play the guitar and sing. I wouldn't consider myself very good, but that's just my opinion. I also like writing and drawing. Music is my life and I always have my iPod on me.

My favorite colors are teal, sunshine yellow, orange, light purple, white, black and brown. I love watching movies and wearing big warm sweatshirts. Blankets are nice too. I love to bike and hang out with my friends, when I'm not at the barn of course. I guess you could say I'm pretty easy to please.

"what about things you don't like?"
Oh there's a lot of things I don't like. I don't like people who think they're all that, or they know everything. I don't like people who lie or break promises. I absolutely despise people who cheat and brag. I also hate people who are overly happy, or just plain fake. I guess you could say I just don't really like people in general.

Oh, and there are many kinds of foods I don't like! I can't stand ketchup on anything, same with mustard. I don't like the foods that most people enjoy like pizza or hamburgers.

"if you want to live here, you gotta have a good personality. what's yours like?"
I guess you could say I'm a pretty easy going person. I love to talk to people and I can get along with pretty much anyone. I get along with guys better because they don't cause as much drama as girls. I am generally sweet, but I do have a mean side. If you piss me off, you better watch out. I'm quick-witted and I can make you cry. I give out second chances like there is no tomorrow. I've been hurt a lot before so I'm very cautious when opening up to people. I contradict myself, you could say. I'm complicated, I'm simple...there's always a million things running through my head. I'm smart, I'm dumb, I'm random, I'm on topic, I'm down to earth, I'm quiet, I'm loud, I'm serious, I'm funny. I'm spontaneous but I can also be very predictable. I'm happy, I'm sad, I'm loving, I'm broken and I'm everything in between. Get to know me, and you'll see.

"have any pets?"
I do. I love animals. I have a neutered male rottweiler named Ceaser. He's the most handsome animal I have ever seen. Then of course I have my horse, Aiden, a buckskin quarter horse gelding. I love both of them more than anything.

"around here, it seems like everyone is related to each other. who's your family?"
Well I can guarantee I'm not related to anyone here. I came from West Virginia. I lived with my dad, Micheal John Sanders and my mother, Alesa Marie Sanders. I was their only child and that's why I got a horse for my 7th birthday. We have a large family that is really close. My grandparents on both sides are always over and they love each other so much. It's like a big house of love. I know pretty much everything about all my aunts and uncles. I don't think any of us have ever fought about anything. I'm particularly close with my aunt Loraine. She loves horses and would teach me about them all the time. Gotta love your family.

"how did you manage to find your way here?"
My family wanted me to have a new start after my grandfather's death last May. I guess it's all for the better.
