About Me

My name is Katie I live in Lockport with my friend Tabitha. I work for a public accounting firm in the Chicagoland area. I’ve been told by my friends that I am somewhat outgoing however I disagree for the most part. I’m extremely shy and nervous especially when I meet people for the first time but I get over that eventually and enjoy rocking out a party. I do enjoy an adult beverage preferably involving some type of Captain or shots that involve salt and limes from time to time however I’m not one to want to get loaded every weekend. I believe this could deal with the fact that my already very open type of personality completely becomes exposed once my BAC has risen to a certain level. My friends know better to stop me when the stories start to begin. Sure the stories may be funny but the three words “too much information” have never had more meaning till you’ve heard some of mine. I have created an interesting year for myself which I have learned from but when it all comes down I realize that I am who I am and that’s just how it’s going to be so love me for my ridiculous stories, my bad spelling, my horrible memory with both names and numbers, and the fact that I really cannot say or type the word *ussy. I just can’t do it!My AIM is katertap MyGen Profile Generator

I'd like to meet:

Someone once told me that I’m willing to talk to just about anyone. I guess I am. Everyone has something great about them and everyone has a story to tell. I believe we all enter into each other lives for a reason and that there are no accidental interactions with each other. I like learning about people and who they are and why they have entered into my life. On a more romantical note, I can’t say I’m seriously interested in meeting someone on myspace and even if I were I know myspace is more about quantity than quality. Most of the men I have encountered have very dishonorable intentions and the women have a desire for that attention. I just don’t have an interest in meeting either one of those types. I’ve learned very quickly you can’t keep your emotional eggs in one basket on myspace. If you are one of those groaty types know that even though I make an excellent girlfriend I make an even better friend so you might be in luck. Therefore I’m not much of a pessimist and not quick to rule anything out. So message me if you would like to chat or IM me on aim. I am easily distracted by the smallest things so don’t let all that packing and studying stop you. Talk to you soon!You have an automatic add if you are: A Superhero/someone that can sing Billy Joel's "We didn't start the fire" acapella by memory/My biological grandmother/A Contortionist/God
