~Rather than providing paragraphs of unimportant information about myself, I've clipped (and altered somewhat) this nifty survey from Lady Katherine's site.  (Er...Lady Katherine has mentioned that she, in turn, clipped this form from Kelda Blakeney's Palace.)  Now you have all that unimportant information in an easy to read format!

Name:  Christina Renée Mara Potter
Nicknames: Tigger, Christy~belle, Christy (by the family.  Call me this and die), Chris, ChristinaXena, Tsar Nichi (it's the best anagram we could manage), Christina~bird,  Chrysippe (It spoke Greek!)...uhm, I don't think I'll tell you the rest.
Date of Birth: February 15, 1979 (Lupercalia)
Parents:  Robert and Joan
Sibs: the little brother, Eric (also known as "Irk."  Affectionately, of course.)
School: University of Dallas, the most classically-inclined school in the world.
Pets/names:  Like I said, I have a younger brother.  Does that count?  I used to have an imaginary tiger named Marmalade, and my cousin and I once co-owned a little Morgan horse named Star.
Jobs:  This summer, I was a day camp counselor to a bunch of very small balls of energy.  Right now, I'm working as a campus safety dispatcher at my school, which means that I get paid to do my homework.  I'm also editor of the University of Dallas's scholarly journal...but that position pays in coffee, only.
Hobbies:  reading, writing, studying history (particulary ancient Greece and Tudor England), playing with my computer, dance, Savate (It's a French martial art), acting, costuming, traveling, visiting museums, camping, and going on adventures with my friends ("So...I hear you have corn sharks...").
Things I collect:  books (too many!), pre-Raphaelite prints, costumes, music boxes
Best advice ever given:  "Life's a banquet, and most poor suckers are starving to death!"  "Don't tell me that you can't do it.  ACT like you can!"  "We all eventually become who we pretend to be." "Chill out!"
Word or phrases you use too much:  "Ya think?" "No kidding!" "Ciao, bella!" "You, too, are expendable." "Bully!" "La!"
Non-sport game in which you excel:  Twister!  How could I have forgotten Twister?  Star Wars Trivial Pursuit! (It was Kati's answer originally, but it holds true for me, too!)  I'm also deadly at paper-rock-scissors.
A non-sport game you enjoy:  Strike a Match, Trivial Pursuit, Taboo, Cranium
Dream Car/ mode of transportation:  I'm quite happy with the car I have.  It's red.  It's lovely.  I call it the Day Dream, of course.
Fave amusement park ride:  the indoor roller coaster at Six Flags Over Texas
Special Skills/Talents:  I'm a contortionist...Er, that is, I'm very flexible.  I also seem to do fairly well with writing and editing.  I imitate voices and accents.  I can get a fire going in the rain.  And I can put my lipstick on without a mirror.
Character traits I look for:  intelligence, a sense of humor, loyalty, a vivid imagination, and a love of adventure.  Why do I suddenly feel like I'm writing a personal ad?
What I want to be: a Superhero!  I would settle for being a world-famous author/poet/scholar, though.
Denomination:  Catholic
Fave music:  folk music (particularly Celtic), musicals, Christmas carols, classic rock (as in Beatles, not the heavy stuff).
Fave Food:  bread!!!!  Pasta, beef, potatoes, and anything with cheese or tomato sauce!  And chocolate, of course!

Biggest fears:  being betrayed, being humiliated.  I'm also afraid of spiders and crickets. :)
Hopes for the future:  Become a famous author/poet/playwright/actress, marry the reincarnation of Percy Blakeney, and have a few children.  And, to quote Harriet the Spy: "I want to see the world, and I want to write down everything!"  Oh, did you mean realistic hopes?
Carnivore or Herbivore: definitely a carnivore.  I don't do the vegetable thing.

  ~Gah!  So, that's more than a little about myself, but you did click on the link.  Don't blame me!
