About Me


Hi, I'm Katie Dozier.
FYI: Blondes DO have more fun!
I hate silverware; eating with my fingers IS much more fun.
My friends are more like family to me and I have been lucky to have such an AMAZING family.
I consider myself to be a hippie because I LOVE:
- tie-dye
-Grateful Dead
-festivals
- being barefoot.
Music is my ESCAPE from reality.
ANIMALS are amazing creatures that are usually OVERLOOKED and UNDER APPRECIATED .
Sharks are my favorite animals, next to cows and dogs.
God is a HUGE part of my life, but I won't JUDGE another's religion. It is not for me to decide, as it is NOT for ANYONE to decide which religion is higher than the rest.
Gandhi was a man of true greatness; his non-voilence movements INSPIRE me.
STANDING UP for what you BELIEVE IN is of high importance to me. Don't EVER let other people make you feel less of a person because you have DIFFERENT opinions. We need to TOLERATE our differences and accept them instead of FIGHTING them.
I am a LIBERAL DEMOCRAT , but I respect other's political views, beliefs.
Close minded people BOTHER me.
War, animal cruelty, DISCRIMINATION make me sad.
All murder is wrong, whether or not it is LEGAL: death penalty, war (WHICH IS MASS MURDER WITH A PAYCHECK), and homocide.
I am a PACIFIST, I am against violence of all sorts. If there is an issue, violence only worsens the situation.
Conformity is DISHEARTENING: God created us all different for a reason.
" BOMBING FOR PEACE IS LIKE FUCKING FOR VIRGINITY"
I go to Ball State and I am a telecommunications major. I hope to one day make documentaries for PBS on important issues. I am thinking of minoring in Peace and conflict studies as well.
I am TERRIBLE at math, I DON'T always eat healthy, I can't tell TIME, I don't know how to READ a map, I am directionally CHALLENGED, and I can't EAT an ice cream cone outside in the summer without dripping all over myself. But I am 100% real and that's AMAZING.
I don't give a SHIT what other people THINK of me: if you don't like me, that's OKAY because I have plenty of wonderful people in my life who DO. I have NOTHING to prove to anyone, so don't think YOU are the exception because you're NOT. I am who I AM : love me, hate me, I could care less, just don't expect me to CHANGE who I am for you.
GREASE is my favorite food group.
IHOP is my favorite restaurant; eating out is an EXPENSIVE habit of mine.
I swear most of the time: don't be shocked when you hear me say, "FUCK!"
Pictures are memories that exist OUTSIDE our minds.
I thrive on SUNSHINE, that's why spring and summer are my favorite times of the year.
Loving another is one of the GREATEST things we can do in life.
Money will NEVER bring you happiness, only a false sense of security.
I HATE materialism and how our society pays a high premium on labels because of how they believe that the label makes them a better person. To be a GREAT PERSON you need to: love everyone, accept everyone for who they are not for what you want them to be and help those in need. These are the traits of the truly great.
I have NO regrets. Every wrong turn, wrong act has lead to several right ones and has taught me a lesson that was needed.
Lucy in The Sky With Diamonds:"This one is amazing. People came up and said cunningly 'Right, I get it, LSD' and it was when the papers were talking about LSD, but we never thought about it. What happened was that John's son Julian did a drawing at school and brought it home, and he has a schoolmate called Lucy, and John said 'Whats that?' and he said 'Lucy in the sky with diamonds'.-Paul
"The first time I saw you I was afraid to talk to you, the first time I talked to you I was afraid to like you, the first time I liked you I was afraid to love you, but now that I love you I am afraid to lose you."
It is not bigotry to be certain we are right; but it is bigotry to be unable to imagine how we might possibly have gone wrong. -G. K. Chesterton

Believe nothing just because a so-called wise person said it. Believe nothing just because a belief is generally held. Believe nothing just because it is said in ancient books. Believe nothing just because it is said to be of divine origin. Believe nothing just because someone else believes it. Believe only what you yourself test and judge to be true. -Buddha

"so just live. have wonderful times. make mistakes but never second guess where you've been, where you are, and most of all - where you're going"

"I'm selfish, impatient, and a little insecure. I make mistakes, I am out of control and at times hard to handle. But if you can't handle me at my worst, then you don't deserve my best"-Marilyn Monroe
