About Me

Myspace Graphics
Myspace Layouts.. width="425" height="350" ..My name is Kate. I love life. Music is my energizer bunny. I live for classical music. Hah. Symphony Orchestra concerts make me cry. Life is splendid. Senior '07 at BTHS. Senior Drum Major. I like school. Not AP Calc summer work though. Remember this day...today is the first day of the rest of our lives. I want to go to too many conservatories that I will never get into. But then again, I don't really want to even go to a conservatory. If I ever tell you that you impress me, its a big deal. I don't tell people how I feel. Its more fun to try and have them figure it out. New York City is my favorite city in the country. Second and Third are San Diego and Boston, respectively. My friends are the most amazing people in the universe. My brother is incredible. Sometimes I wish I were older. But then I have times when I miss the days of youth. I wish I had a time machine. I saw a cool quote today.."the past is tomorrow". I don't think I get it. But oh well. I want to go abroad to Italy. I want to move to Athens. Then come back. I have 5 five-year plans. I don't know if any of them will work out. I am one to hope for the best but at the same time expect the worst. Mozart is my hero :) I love mountains and snow. I like to make people smile. I like to have people make me smile. I like Smoothies. Tropical Smoothie is Katie and Mine's favorite place :) I like Starbucks. Its exciting when the people know your order right when you walk in. I love visiting countries and all you hear is rapid Spanish and it always seems like the people are mad at each other. I'm nervous as anything about college auditions. I hold myself to insane standards I will never reach. So I guess that makes me a "goal-oriented" gal. I don't really like books. I get kind of bored with them. Hah. Oh well. Talking is the deepest way to connect with someone. Ambition is a huge turn on *wink* I like meeting new people but not tasting new foods. I'm pretty traditional when it comes to food. NO HUMMUS! hah. New York University Woodwind Institute was fun. Oberlin was cool too. Northwestern was pretty. But I enjoyed coming home :)I love rainy days. I love taking pictures. Good or bad. Doesn't matter. I love quotes. I cut stuff out of magazines or newspapers if I think its interesting. Grease is my comfort movie. I hate chocolate. I love white chocolate. I cant wait to go to college. I love long walks on the beach. I love rain. I love long walks on the beach in the rain. I love the color purple. My favorite colors changes hourly. No seriously. I've never had just one distinct favorite color. I mean. Who really does that? I hate vegetables. Except for corn. Corn is good. I have come across a lot of really weird people in my life. And some pretty cool people. But still. No one is as cool as me. Seriously. I'm not even kidding. I hate stressing over things that I can't control. I hate spending money. Well. My money. I don't mind when its not my money. But really. I don't think any of us have a problem with that. I hope everything works out in the end. My headline always describes my mood. And currently, it could be a little more peachy. I want to help everyone else but myself. Life would make more sense if we all got to stay 5 forever. Seriously. 5 year olds don't have any worries. If they did, that would strike out all hope for 6 year olds. I love being random...oh and I want to make a million dollars... :)

Take the Dead German Composer Test! Yay! He's my favorite composer too! :)
If I were a Dead Russian Composer, I would be Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov.

Considered the leader of the 19th Century Composer group "The Mighty Handful," I am indeed the teacher among them. My orchestration skills are superbly colorful, and are explained in my book on the topic, but works like "Scheherezade" explain my mastery better.

Who would you be? Dead Russian Composer Personality Test

Double yay! He's my second favorite composer :) :)
