About Me

i'm Kara, and i'm a senior at Roosevelt. i live in Lima, Peru, but valpo, indiana is my hometown. i love to dance, play volleyball and tennis, and write. i live my life for the Lord because his GRACE is amazing and has blessed my life in so many ways! I am head over heels in love with Ben Roberts. i'm idealist, but not naiive. i'm a non-conformist: you can't classify me. if i debate you i will kick your ass...deal with it. i'm disorganized and spontaneous, random beyond reason, stubborn but forgiving. i forget pretty much everything, and am always late. i still don't know how to drive. i hate taking showers, but i promise..i do anyway. the chicago sox and indy colts kick ASS. i listen to music 24/7. im really tight with my family, even though we bicker constantly. I love my life. this layout is from whateverlife.com!
