Hi - thanks for reading my profile!My name is Kari, and I am 28 years old. I hold two degrees - one is in Paralegal Studies and the other is in Radiography. I am currently working as a Radiographer (X-Ray Technician)/Cat Scan Tech) in Palestine, Texas, but I live in Jacksonville. I also participate in orthopedic surgeries and perform special procedures in the Cath Lab.I'm a very studious person. I believe in enriching one's body and mind, so I can usually be found either working out or reading (sometimes both at the same time).I've never been married, and I don't have or want any kids (unless you count my four cats). Taking care of them is about like having children! Juneau is a 19 year old flame-point Himalayan, and Fat Kitty is a 6 year old brown tabby. Remus (after Remus Lupin of the Harry Potter books) is a little long-haired orange tabby cat that was given to me as a kitten by the rock store owner in Bullard when my mom and I went to pick up flagstones for the front walkway. I've also recently acquired Miss Theodora, a 9 year old Sphynx (hairless) calico cat (Dorie for short).I'm a rather outspoken person, but at the same time, I consider myself very polite. However, if I see something I don't like or something that I feel is wrong, I will say something about it! I also consider myself a staunch feminist.I'm really into books and movies. I also enjoy singing karaoke in my spare time, and being with my family and friends. I also like to dork it up with my sisters at renaissance festivals.Your results:

Television:

I don't really watch all that much television. I do enjoy watching The History Channel and A&E, however! I'm just a big nerd! I did watch Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Angel when they were both still on the air. Sometimes, I watch a little anime on the Cartoon Network. Inuyasha is one of my favorites.I did recently get into Rock of Love on VH1 (the show where Poison frontman Bret Michaels tried to find love). Alas, it's over for another season. :(

Books:

I love anything that has to do with British history, especially the Tudor Period (Henry VIII and his six wives, and Elizabeth I.) I also enjoy graphic novels, horror, historical fiction, biographies, and true crime (especially about Jack the Ripper.)I also love poetry: Elizabeth Barrett Browning and Dorothy Parker are two of my favorites.I don't really have a favorite book; if I had to choose one, I probably wouldn't be able to!However, I did recently read a book that is simply one of the best I've ever read: Atonement by Ian McEwan is a great read.

Heroes:

My family - parents Richard and Suzanne, and my sisters, Katy and Kacy.

Iron Man

If you haven't seen "Iron Man" yet, go see it.  It's awesome.  The cast was top notch, and the direction by Jon Favreau (yes, the "Swingers" Jon Favreau) was great. Robert Downey Jr. makes a...
