Kait soon to be Palmer...

I am here for Friends and Networking

About Me

We're ENGAGED!!!! On Thursday, May 31, Matthew James Palmer asked me to be his wife! He had set up the proposal as a sort of treasure hunt, starting with me finding the first clue as I got in my car afer work and leading me all over until we ended up on Coronado Island. If you like romantic stories...read the full proposal story blog! So now begins a new adventure with my best friend! For a little more about me, a year ago graduated from Point Loma Nazarene University with a degree in Communication (I'm the first from both sides of my family to graduate from college). I want to go to grad school for Literature, but want to take a break from school for now. I work as a Desktop Publisher for a commercial real estate brokerage, Grubb & Ellis, but don't want to do that forever... I still love to write and read and who knows where that will take me...wherever that happens to be, I know now I'll be with Matt.

My Interests

Traveling, reading, singing, writing, planning a wedding, kissing, acting, dancing, writing (poetry, songs, blurbs, whatever), playing guitar, being goofy, photography, exploring anything that looks interesting, reading poetry, nossing, snuggling, entertaining (on stage, or just with friends, love it all), hiking, rock climbing (i do more bouldering), kayaking, sleeping under the stars (whether it be in the mountains or on the roof of our church...), sitting with a good friend over a cup of coffee and talking, and staring at the ocean for hours thinking about everything and nothing.

I'd like to meet:

Virginia Woolf, Maya Angelou, Karl Marx, C.S. Lewis, Paul the Apostle, Van Gough, Dr. Seuss, St. Francis of Assisi, Mark Twain, and Dumbledore.

Music:

a lot.

Movies:

Princess Bride is my all time favorite.

adopt your own virtual pet!

Television:

I've recently become addicted to How I Met Your Mother...best show for lines!! Also Scrubs, The Office, and my guilty pleasure was I Love New York. I know...

Books:

Can I list them all? Being a literature minor I'm blessed with exposure to literature I never would have taken a second glance at. I'm a voracious reader who only wishes I could read through osmosis, and just go to bed with a book under my pillow and wake up with wonderfully enlightened dreams. I'll try to stick with authors in an attempt to shorten the list: Louisa May Alcott, Jane Austen, Willa Cather, Charlotte Bronte (don't like Emily), C.S.Lewis, Virginia Woolf, Leo Tolstoy, Charles Dickens, Rudyard Kipling, Jack London, Mark Twain, Alexander Dumas, Edgar Allan Poe, Earnest Hemmingway, Oscar Wilde, James Joyce, E.M. Forester, James Fenimore Cooper, Toni Morrison, Franz Kafka, Robert Louis Stevenson, Charlotte Perkins Gilman, Alice Walker, Joseph Conrad, J.R.R.Tolkein, William Golding, W.B.Yeats, Nathaniel Hawthorne, Amy Tan, and of course William Shakespeare. If not obvious, I like the classics. Also poetry...I'm in love with poetry. E.E. Cummings, Emily Dickinson, Samuel Taylor Coleridge, William Wordsworth, John Donne, Robert Frost, T.S. Eliot, Christina Rossetti, more Poe, Walt Whitman, Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, Aphra Behn, Langston Hughes, Maya Angelou, and yes, Shakespeare's sonnets. Don't be deceived, I do read more than old school fiction. I enjoy essays and books on philosophy, religion, and anything else that's well written. I just finished "Telling the Truth: The Gospel as Tradegy, Comedy, and Fairy Tale" by Frederick Buechner...a 100 page book well worth your time to pick up.

Heroes:

Jesus, Luci Swindoll, Matthew Palmer, Gladys Alward, St. Francis of Assissi, my Amaah, and Batman.
