Fangirl aka Kathy

I am here for Friends and Networking

About Me

I'm not your typical girl. Trendy has never been a word used to describe me. I'm a jeans and t-shirt kind of gal who dresses up when the occasion calls for it. I'm a fourth generation Chicagoan who has been living out in Los Angeles for ten years and has now moved to Seattle. I'm still a midwesterner at heart. I'm also a geek. Not a nerd, though. Nerd implies math skills. I'm also a proud member of the Browncoats and the James Gunn Appreciation Society.One of my favorite quotes is from Angela Monet which is "Those who danced were thought to be quite insane by those who did not hear the music."You can follow my adventures over at: http://fangirladventures.blogspot.com/Please click on the Google Ads when you visit!

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

People who know the dangers of the fire swamp, know who the sausage king of Chicago is, why I call cats mynocks when I see them chewing on power cords, that you can't make an omelet without breaking a few eggs despite what happened to the cook, that the first thing you would do is shower with them and last, but not least know that if they don't blink you shoot them in the head.
