Kristo Behind the Blog

Hey party people! I know I haven't been in the blogosphere much this week, but it's the end of the semester so I don't really need to say much more.

I'm here with a post that isn't even about me. Everyone please give a warm welcome to my boyfriend for the Boys Behind the Blog link up. Please save all your applause until the end of the Q&A segment.

Who is your favorite band/musician?
Not to cop out, but I don’t have a favorite band. I listen to tons of music of varying genres (aside from country, much to the disdain of Monica). The bands/musicians I listen to the most are (in no particular order): Skillet, Halestorm, Avenged Sevenfold, Pink Floyd, Lindsey Stirling, Paramore, and Muse. If this was solely judged on amount of concerts attended, Halestorm would be number 1 with 12 concerts.

*Halestorm (2013 Grammy winners for best hard rock/metal performance!)*

What was your first CD/tape?
Unfortunately this question is one of my darkest secrets. My first CD was Oops!...I Did It Again by Britney Spears. Yes, you read this correctly. I won this CD in a machine in Disney World.

*I didn't know this.*

Who was your first concert?

 My first concert was Paramore in the Hammerstein Ballroom in NY with The Swellers and Paper Route as opening bands. Hayley was amazing in person, especially considering she was battling laryngitis at the time. The amount of passion and energy she brings to the stage is hard to match.

*my first concert was The Click Five*

What is your favorite Thanksgiving food?

Mashed potatoes would be a sure fire number one, but since I have them on a consistent basis, I’m going to choose Monica’s uncle's mushroom soup. Every other year when I attend Thanksgiving at their house, I am excited for it. Coming in a close second is pineapple stuffing and sweet potato casserole.

*mashed potatoes are my fave if anyone cares to know*

Finish the sentence: I am thankful for...

...having so many people that can be called my family. This includes my mom’s boyfriend's family who I have known for almost all my life, especially my aunt Lynn. In addition to them, I am thankful for Monica’s large family, providing me with something I never had. As an only child of a small family, I never had the experience of a large one. From her immediate family to her extended family, over the last 5 years they have accepted me as their own. 

*we're pretty awesome*

Bro Behind the Blog

Good morning!

Can you believe it’s already Thursday? This week has been hug yourself in a white jacket crazy a whirlwind for me. I took the GRE yesterday morning. Sitting in the same chair for 4 straight hours made me want to die a little, but I did a decent job. I’m going to retake the test in November, because my quantitative reasoning score isn’t where I need it to be for grad school. LE SIGH.

Anywhoodles, today is the 3^rd Thursday of the month which means a link-up for the Boys Behind the Blog series. Since Kristo got his own post on Tuesday, I decided not to interview him. How would you like to get to know my little brother? You’d like that? Good. I didn’t want to have to whoop any azzes for saying no.

I interrogated interviewed Christian, or Bud as we call him, as he was nomming on some chicken noodle soup (chicken noodle soup, chicken noodle soup with a soda on the side…). Here are his answers.

Describe yourself in 5 words.

     Crafty

     Musically-inclined (It’s hyphenated, right?)

     Good-looking

     Athletic

     Smart (Sis is protesting this one)

What is your biggest fear?

My biggest fear would have to be being on a bridge that’s about to collapse. (Damn this is so morbid.)

What is your favorite candy?

           Reese’s Cups – not Reesee’s

What is the best Halloween costume you’ve ever worn?

          Jeff Gordon when I was 6. (Aw crap, I meant to find a picture of this. He was                               adorable, I swear.)

Who is your favorite football team?

          The Eagles

Isn't my little bro awesome? Duh. Know what else is awesome? His band, Home Again, is on Bandcamp where you can download their stuff FO FREE. Check it owwwwt. They're also on Facebook.

Have an awesome day!

The Boy Behind the Blog

Happy Thursday(almost Friday)!

I forgot to do this the last 2 months so this month I actually put it in my calendar. Boyfriend was all ready to put up some answers last month but I was a slacker and never checked to see when the questions went up. Now that I'm on top of things, I present

THE BOY BEHIND MY BLOG

1. If you were an animal, what animal would you be?
A Siberian tiger

*he loves the Bengals and the Detroit Tigers EVEN THOUGH HE'S NOT FROM THOSE PLACES*

*Look at the fancy tiger slippers I bought him...fierce*

2. What is your favorite meal?
Filet mignon because I love steak and it's the best kind.

*yes and yes*

3. Do you use any forms of Social Media? What is your favorite?
Twitter because there are only 140 characters and it breaks news for sports first. But I never tweet anything.

*he never tweets anything...ever*

Watching the Flyers with @littlemonnny wut wut

*I tweeted that on his phone*

4. Beer, wine, liquor, other, or none of the above?

Beers and liquor are my favorite, expensive taste for both. I'd rather buy a better, more expensive glass of either and sip it rather than chug something cheap.

*once upon a time, Kris accidentally ordered and drank an $85 glass of scotch...good times*

*at least he looked good  doing it*

5. Complete the sentence: "Never have I ever..."
...seen the  Wizard of Oz.

*I don't get it either*

Hope you enjoyed meeting my boyfriend, can't wait to see what he can come up with next month!
