About Me
The Basics
My name is Crystal and I live in Southern California
I am: a Sagittarius sun, Pisces moon, Leo rising, INFP-T
I’m a Spoonie and am currently living with my family (and am very self-conscious about these things lol)
I have one younger brother and he is actually the best
My hair is naturally black but I started dyeing it red in college and then ever since I moved into "fantasy colors" (pink, purple, blue, green etc), I can’t imagine ever having a real color again
In a friend group, I’m not the one who will come up with the shenanigans we get into but I am absolutely the one who will “yes and” you until we’ve egged each other on to do the dumbest shit possible
Basically I’m not much of a Lucy but I make a hell of an Ethel
5SOS
I’ve been a 5SOS fan since 2014
Officially I am in Ashton’s lane and historically Calum has been my cheat lane but I've been having A Luke Problem since he wore that vest suit on the 10th anniversary special.
I’ve seen 5SOS live 11 times as of 2023 (MYT LA, Friends of Friends LA, Wango Tango 2019 & 2022, WWJ LA, Global Citizen 2021, TMHT Concord, LA 1 & 2 and Irvine and The 5SOS Show Tour @ The Forum), attended Night 1 of Luke at The Fonda, night 2 of NFATTNE LA and Ashton's Belasco show.
MYT LA was probably the best night of my life (emo post here)
The short version is it rained the entire time and I couldn’t see anything because my glasses were covered in raindrops but it didn’t matter because as if it wasn’t already fantastic to sing and scream and dance to those songs with a crowd of thousands? Add a rainstorm? Fucking magic. (Also I was pretty wine drunk. It was an iconic night for many reasons.)
Another unbelievable night for me was my experience at the LA Friends of Friends show which I finally told the outrageous story of here (spoiler: I met Ashton and then later spent a significant amount of time in his presence, I accidentally swerved Calum, I basically lost my damn mind.)
Fun(?) Facts
In high school I learned how to read music and play classical guitar but I haven’t done either in years so I don’t know if that’s still a skill I can claim lol
I studied music, media and creative writing in college (I unfortunately had to leave school due to health issues but I hope one day I can finish my degree)
I wrote my fair share of fan fiction when I was younger but never posted any online until I started writing for 5SOS so somewhere in my parents’ shed is a box full of Lisa Frank diaries filled with unimaginable filth
Besides music, movies are a passion of mine (I once went to the movies 102 times in one year!)
I also enjoy baking (cake pops are my specialty), sewing (my favorite thing I’ve ever made was a Star Trek uniform dress for Halloween) and drawing (I could -and honestly should- fill a book with these weird comic strips I’ve done about me and my brother’s adventures over the years)
Favs
Fav music includes: Taylor, Ariana, Little Mix, Jenny Lewis, Paramore, Maisie Peters and lots of classic rock but ultimate favs would be The Beatles and Fleetwood Mac. Also basically any 2000s era pop or pop punk.
Fav movies include: Too many to list but the basics are anything directed by Edgar Wright, Ferris Bueller’s Day Off, Mean Girls, Back to the Future, High Fidelity, Drive, Forgetting Sarah Marshall and most Marvel, Pixar or Star Wars
Fav TV includes: I don't watch much that's current but old favs include Parks and Rec, It’s Always Sunny, The Bold Type, Catfish, Buffy, The OC, How I Met Your Mother (the finale was good, fight me), Arrested Development, Gilmore Girls, Breaking Bad, Mad Men, X-Files
