About Me

"Maybe mistakes are what make our fate... without them what would shape our lives? Maybe if we had never veered off course we wouldn't fall in love, have babies, or be who we are. After all, things change, so do cities, people come into your life and they go... But it's comforting to know that the ones you love are always in your heart... and if you're very lucky, a plane ride away"

I'm Katie.
I'm just doin my thing, really.

...Guess you could say I always have been...

You Are Surrealism
Dreamy and idealistic, you've created a world that is all your own.
It's very likely that you've either dabbled in drugs or are naturally trippy.
You are always trying to push beyond the boundaries of your culture and society.
You believe that art, love, and freedom can change the world. What Art Movement Are You?

Music:

311 to the utmost

& a lil bit of this &a lil bit of that...

im a huge HUGE 311 fan...so naturally rockand the many sub genres it entails...i like to get down with my hip hop a lot too, and fully support VA artists...i like funky beats and beautiful melodies...i like to wind down listening to acoustic guitar, preferably spanish...and i like my fair share of electronic as well, eurotrash for the most part...i can sing almost any and every classic rock song and thoroughly enjoy 90s music, it makes my heart happy...i also love nothing more than catching a reggae band at the beach or going to my lil brothers shows, or any rock show for that matter and it always feels more like home when i drive long distances with a little Dead, pink floyd or 90sish country...most of all i really enjoy hearing a song that takes me back to a fun memory and makes me laugh...
