I've forgotten more than you'll ever know.

About Me

안녕 저는 케이트 입니다 저는 미국 사람입니다 현재 저는 한국에 거주 중입니다 저는 영어 강사입니다 만나서 반갑습니다.

My Interests

painting, theater, conversation, coffee in the morning, bacardi or wine at night, writing

I'd like to meet:

If you can seperate and identify your most subtle feelings with precision; if you are too naive to be a cynic, but too jaded to be a full blown idealist; if your life is cramped with wild urgency and you combine frenzied eloquence with, at times, immobilizing awkwardness...don't be afraid to talk to me.
