Christina Roberson,
Chris for short. 22, but looks older, and has a cheerful personality. Community College student got another year or two to go. Works part-time at a restaurant/cafe without door seating, right next to some clothing, bookstores. A few of the stores sell second hand used items. She finds a bit of items from those stores. She is able to convert things she buys cheaply into trendy clothes. She is very creative and resourceful, manages to get free tickets to anything. She has lots of friends from various backgrounds. Easy going, happy personality, and definitely very social. Kind of people person. Enjoys dancing: disco, hip-hop, funky what ever draws a young crowd. Likes lively atmosphere, sometimes go for the crowd. Moves from one place to another, depending on where the action is. Likes to have fun, go with a group of friends of similar age. Occasionally have a beer or two, but doesn't drink to get drunk. Likes to try new things, new bands. Always trying to get people together to go somewhere new. Her parents just bought her a cheap computer system for Christmas to help her with schoolwork. She is still in her free trial period with one ISP, but she only has another month of free service left. She is considering a cheap plan that has limited hours. She has discovered e-mail and chat and has looked at a couple of match making services online. But gave up because things seem too complicated. A friend managed to have her signed up for a free amyl horoscope. She hasn't used the computer too much for school yet. But at work, the cafe/restaurant, there are two stations set up for surfing with proprietary interface. She is seeing someone at the moment, but not too serious. She enjoys going out with different people, and likes to organize events. She finds out about places from the flyers/free papers distributed at work. She is starting to use amyl to organize outings. She is sharing a two-bedroom apartment with two other students. She has her own room. She doesn't have time to sit down and eat, and grabs a bite here and there, especially from work.
