More Shameless Promotion

That's right... I figure since I haven't posted in a while, I can post about myself and see how it goes :)

I've been busy recording songs - all covers right now. I figured maybe I could test out my musical career (ha!) on you guys. With that said, here's a list of sites containing my music:


Enjoy!
Oh, and feel free to email and comment as you see fit. :)

The history of my name...

I'd do something different today.

Here's how to spell my name in a whole buncha languages! Enjoy!

Chinese: 基尔斯 (simplified) or 基爾斯 (traditional)
Japanese: キルステン
Korean: 조종
Russian: Кирстен
Arabic: أدلت السيدة كيرستين

Fun right? I wish my name was different in more languages though.
On the subject of names...


"Kirsten Larson longs to feel at home in a strange land. In 1854, Kirsten leaves all she’s ever known to come with her family to the New World. They settle on the Minnesota frontier, a place where people don’t speak her language or wear clothes like hers—or know about the traditions she holds dear. Yet with quiet strength and an open heart, Kirsten discovers the richness of her new land—and the true meaning of home."

So totally like me. If you wanna read more about Kirsten Larson, the American Girl, go to the American Girl website.


Quite literally, my name is...

KIRSTEN
Gender: Feminine
Usage: Scandinavian
Scandinavian form of CHRISTINA
which is...

CHRISTINA

and one more back...

CHRISTIAN

From a medieval Latin name that meant "Christian". This was the name of ten kings of Denmark. Another famous bearer of the name was Hans Christian Andersen, the Danish author of such fairy tales as 'The Ugly Duckling' and 'The Emperor's New Clothes'. In medieval England this was also a feminine name.

What about Theron?

Theron means hunter in greek (see below).

First Post - woohoo!

So this is my blog. I'm sure you've stumbled over it accidentally while trying to search serious "How To"s, but this'll help you, trust me.

A lil bit about me...
I'm 19, in college majoring in math and education. Someday I'll have a classroom full of high school students thinking I'm either insane or genius. I've got an awesome boyfriend who also blogs on here, about baseball (his other love). We've been together a month as of last Saturday, and I totally feel perfect around him. I love music (my equivalent to his baseball). I sing, compose, write, play the piano - which I taught myself for the most part. I'm always singing or listening, so in essence, it's my life. I have Still's Disease (also known as Systemic Onset Juvenile Rheumatoid Arthritis). My life is centered around the things I can and can't do, although I tend to push myself a lot to feel more normal. I'll put more about it in an about me section I suppose.

The purpose...
of this blog is to offer some insight into how it is to be a giggly & giddy go-getter with a million things on her mind, working almost full time at (suc)Kmart and going to school full time. It'll have advice & hints on how to make it through the hard days, celebrations on the good, and commentaries on the normal. It'll chronicle my JRA, be a guide for people who need help managing pain, and for those interested in making a journey to self-discovery. I'm just starting on my path into Buddhism, taking a class about Asian Religions at school. But, I'm growing more and more certain everyday that it's the right path for me.

I would love to get any feedback on any of my posts. My email is kwhiggitywhiggitywhack@gmail.com. Feel free to email me at anytime. Fun addy, huh? X-P
