About Scrink

Well hello there friends!

Scrink became my handle six years ago. It is a combination word made up of Tink and Scrappy. When I started blogging it was all personal and catty, I spent so much time complaining about stupid sh!t. Then I started writing about music and bands would send me material to review so it was quite exciting. I still love to write about music but the writing has expanded to just about every topic you can imagine. I’m “nerdish by nature” and love to learn about pretty much everything. You will find reviews on indie music and art. I love to read and will write about any books that might be siting on my night stand. Plus I’m interested in medicine and the environment so that pops up from time to time.

My name is Christy. I was born in 1981 (saying it that way allows me to tell you how old I am without having to remember to update my age after my birthday). Oh the cleverness of me. hehe. About me…? I’m beginning to see the light. I’m a believer. I’m alive. I’m into something good. I’m leaving on a jet plane. I’m every woman. I’m not afraid of anything. I’m on to you. I’m only happy when it rains. I’m walking on sunshine. I’m the only one. I’m too sexy. I’m still standing. I am a rock. I’m like a bird. I’m no angel. I am the walrus. I’m easy like Sunday morning. I’m just a singer in a rock & roll band. I’m a daughter, sister, wife, mother. I’m gonna be starting something. I am unfinished on a lot of things. Mad hatter or maybe Alice. Off with your head! I am not as strong as you think. I’m not kidding. I’m a brown eyed girl. I’m finding beauty in hidden places. I’m counting my lucky stars. I am a freak for amazing architecture. I am my mother’s daughter. I am my husband’s Cinderella. I am totally in love with my two boys. I am what I am. I’m a girl living in a small wonder and loving it. I am the girl next door.

I have two amazing boys Braeden and Finnegan (2003 and 2009, respectively) and a wonderful husband (who is 28 days older than me). We have a dog, she is old and cranky. Her name is Mya and she is a Maltese. But don’t let the breed fool you…she is anything but prissy.

Braeden does ATA Taekwondo and loves it. He is learning to read and loves school. He has an IgA Deficiency and is sick a lot which is upsetting, but has definitely made him a stronger, more compassionate soul. Finnegan is crawling and pulling himself up all over the place. He is always smiling, even through his ear infections. The hubbie, Brian, is taking classes at UD right now and hopes to apply to medical school in the Fall.

I love anything artsy and play around with graphics and images all the time. I am a web developer full-time for the University of Delaware. Love working there!

I am a practicing Wiccan.

It is not my place to judge, preach or push. My beliefs are my own just as yours are your own. Spirituality is a wonderful thing and as long as you feel comfortable with your path and are at one with your decisions that is all that matters.

When I was pregnant with my second child I felt a calling to practice Wicca. I have always been interested in Wiccan practices, but I was raised Catholic. While learning more and more about Wicca I have felt myself grow more spiritual and faith filled. I can honestly say I have never felt more at one with the Universe as I do now. I know I am on the right path, the one which was meant solely for me. It is up to you to decide where you would like to journey and who you would like to be.

Hmm…what else?

I am addicted to Facebook. I love Tumblr and Twitter. Couldn’t possibly care less about MySpace even though I do network through there sometimes. I have a Pro Flickr account because I love taking pictures and will always need the extra upload space. And I have a shoppe on Etsy because I love to sew.
