So you want to know a little bit more about
the webmistress and how this website came into being, eh? I am
flattered.
Though I do hope the overall focus of this site is clearly established
as being
Patrick Fabian & his exceptional work, I have to truthfully admit
that little ‘bits’ of my personality oft escape and are sprinkled in
various places throughout the webpage. I would never wish to distract
attention from Patrick in anyway and sincerely hope that my quirky
sense of humor does not do that. If it is distracting; I sincerely
apologize. But in the same respect, I’m afraid I just cannot sit back
and make these sections a dry, Dragnet-type: “Just the facts, Ma’am.”
It's not entirely professional, I know. But I say, what is the fun in
being a ‘fan’
if you can’t be a bit ‘fan-a-tic’ sometimes? *grin* So here it is. The
exclusive ‘look’ at the woman behind the magic:
Ever since she can remember, Christy has always been an avid fan of the
arts. Possessed with curiosity & boundless imagination, she taught
herself various creative skills since she was young. Besides web
design, she is an actress, soloist, authoress, playwright, songwriter,
poet, philosopher & of course, daydreamer. She also enjoys dance,
but since it’s the one art she’s never been able to master (her dancing
is self proclaimed as “looking like a turkey on acid”), she decided to
spare the public her lack of coordination. With over 15 years acting
experience to her credit, she considers herself an actress first and
foremost; her other artistic gifts playing second fiddle. Although she
has been ‘play-acting’ & ‘dressing-up’ since she was a child, her
first crack at ‘real acting’ came during the summer of ’93 when she won
the title role of a comedic monologue; in which her performance landed
her name recognition, a second type-casting role & her very first
standing ovation. After that, she was hooked and has performed
multiple
times for community theatre, church theatre & special occasions.
Some of the shows she has been in have included: Bye, Bye Birdie
(although she had a solo & speaking role, she is fondly remembered
to this day as: The Fainting Girl), Dearly Departed, Neil Simon’s Fools (for which performance,
she was nominated for a Willie Award), Tales
of a Kingdom, Father of
the Bride, The Dining Room,
The Bronze Bow, The Importance of Being
Earnest & Scarlett O’Hara in Gone with the Wind. (ok, I’m
kidding
about the last one. I never got to be the lovely Vivian
Leigh. *melodramatic sigh*)
When not wrapped up in an artistic endeavor (or rather between various
endeavors), Christy loves to read, explore her DVD collection, party
with any of her various circles of
friends (online, theater, choir, etc), swim & take long walks in
the sunshine. Floridian born & bred, she now resides in Texas and
laments the lack of seafood and an ocean within driving distance. She
works for Covenant Hospital by day & weaves rich worlds of fantasy
by night. She has also been offered jobs doing voice work for Clear
Channel & modelling for
Mary Kay cosmetics.
She
first discovered Patrick Fabian
whilst watching “Saved by the Bell:
The
College Years” and being an astute judge of ability, was
immediately
fascinated by his portrayal of the delightful Professor Laskey. Her
fascination grew after seeing him perform as the conman Rafe on Xena:
Warrior Princess & she has continued to watch his career
expand
over the past eight years, long before he had a web presence. She is
honored to be able to dedicate a page exclusively to him now (a project
she has wanted to take up for several years, but always lacked the
necessary information & time) & sincerely believes in his work
& the quality of his performances. She hopes he will soon become a
household name & will continue to work for many more years.
