About Me


My most important news ... I got married and we bought a house!!! On July 21, 2007 I officially became Mrs. Katrina Nolan. :) It was truly the most wonderful day of our lives. And on July 30th, we got the keys to our beautiful home in West Chester. Nothing else seems important right now but here's a lil "about me:" I'm a 5th year in the Microbiology/Virology PhD program at Penn. I'm working on completing my thesis and finally submitted my paper entitled Effects of Partial Deletions within the HIV-1 V3 Loop on Coreceptor Tropism and Sensitivity to Entry Inhibitors. Yep, that's what I study - got it right?! School has always been my thing - I'm a true bio dork at heart. I got a lot of partying out of my system before I started grad school (and I mean a LOT). Even though I don't go to clubs anymore, I still love EDM. Housework goes by quicker with some trance! I've become more of a local bar girl since settling down. I'm also a Phish head. Seems like an odd combination, but it's me. I'm a talkative person. I get bored easily - I need constant amusement, and Jim is a wonderful husband for that! I hate condiments. I love going out to eat, even though I always order the same things. French fries are my favorite food. I like piercings and tattoos and have a lot of them. I am super competitive, especially with board games. I am a champagne whore! People say I'm quite intelligent, but I say dumb things a lot - I make Jim laugh. I love flip flops and wish I could wear them year-round. My family is the absolute best. My best friends are like family to me. I go camping, even though I don't like the outdoors. I am addicted to HGTV. I LOVE to dance. OK, that's enough for now. ;) Oh and make sure to check out www.katandjim.com for all wedding pics!

My Interests

Spending time with my husband doing anything or nothing at all, my wonderful family and friends, piercings and tattoos, sleeping in occasionally, vacations, dancing, ballet, the beach, flip flops, going to the gym, camping, cooking, baking, wine, movies, shopping, our pets, virology (I'm a dork I know)

I'd like to meet:

I've been on MySpace forever. Now it seems like everyone's on here. If you know me, drop me a line.

Music:

My absolute favorites are Phish, The Grateful Dead, The Allman Brothers, Jack Johnson, and Tori Amos. I love EDM, alternative stuff, and even country.

Movies:

My favorite movie ever is Almost Famous. I also love Garden State, The Nightmare Before Christmas, The Matrix, Blade, Toy Story (and all the pixar films), Dogma, Donnie Darko, The 60's, Romeo and Juliet, Harry Potter (all of them). This list could go on and on - you should see our DVD collection! And I can watch movies over and over again because my brain seems to lack the ability to remember plot lines or characters.

Television:

I didn't watch too much TV until Jim moved in 4 years ago (I didn't even have cable) ... now we watch: Lost, House, and Heroes. All-time favs include The OC, Friends, Seinfeld, King of Queens, My So-Called Life, Felicity, Dawson's Creek, The Wonder Years, Sex and the City, Queer as Folk, Family Guy, That 70's Show. There will always be a place in my heart for General Hospital even though I haven't had time to watch it in years. And our current addiction ... HGTV

Books:

I read scientific literature, but I'll admit that I hate reading books. My crazy schedule allows me to have an excuse not to. But give me a cosmo, glamour, or bridal magazine and I'll read it from cover to cover.

Heroes:

My parents
