Dia duit, people. The name is Katie (Kat, for short). 20-something gal trying to figure her way in this topsy-turvy, crazy-ass world. You know the story. Small town girl with big dreams. Hard to manage. Creative as the day is long with the attention span of a 3 year old. Singing is my passion, but I also make time for writing, photography, costume design, interior design and general wackyness. Oh, and I'm a geek. Big geek. Total geek. Love me some geekery. All of it. Well...most of it anyway. Comic books, Harry Potter, The Lord of the Rings, Narnia, Disney, The Hunger Games, anime and manga, yada yada yada. The whole kit and kaboodle. Love em.
My tunes. My comrads. Raspberries. Films. Confidance. A camera. Pen and paper. Sneakers. The familial relations. A fabric store. The Renaissance Festival. A tank top. Rain. My books. Rocky beaches. Vodka. Chapstick. Tall grass. My lovely computer. An open field. My imagination. As long as I have those, I'm set.
...well, if you take all of those things plus me and hightail it over to Ireland. Then I'd be even more set.
Well, there you have it.
