CSUSB GRADUATE

Thanks for the tragedy. I need it for my art.

About Me

My name's Katie and I am a music junkie. Art of every form consumes me. There is beauty in everything. I regret not continuing theatre in high school, and I desperately crave the familiarity of the drama scene. Music carries me. My music carries me. I am a singer/songwriter. I am a classically trained vocalist who specializes in rock and opera (like Meatloaf). I play enough guitar to get by, but I'm not too amazing as of yet. Piano has come fairly easy to me. Concert venues are my second home. Anything involving music is my "thing". I promote the shit out of bands. I really don't know what I want to specifically do in life, but I know that it involves music. I am currently majoring in mass communications while minoring in photography. Music journalism and concert photography intrigue me. I am involved in both, and I will own my own venue someday. I have enough personally-obtained music memorabilia to fill Hard Rock Cafe. I am a published poet. Songwriting frees me. I would rather be living on the streets performing my originals than making all the money in the world in a career unrelated to music. Aside from music, I am very involved in the animal rights and GLBTQ movements. They are extremely important to me, although my politics tend to get me into trouble. Protesting is a rush. Damn the man, save the empire.

My Interests

standing up for the underdog, piercings, tattoos, concerts, art - all things art. I love painting, poetry, music, sculpture, photography... all things art, as I've said. Music. Music. Music. Animal rights and equality for ALL is extremely important to me. I love the work of Mark Ryden, Kurt Cobain and Marilyn Manson. I am REALLY into comedy (Dane Cook, Bill Hicks, etc.). If you dig it, add my buddy Comic Hooly.

I'd like to meet:

Anyone who thinks we will click on whatever level. Obviously lovers of the arts are my main interest, but I love meeting new people. I am extremely open-minded and always looking to collaborate. If you don't appreciate music for what it is, I'm not interested. I have met the love of my life so I'm set in that area, thank you. I want more than anything to meet his family though - pet included. As for the Untouchables: Kurt Cobain to give him a hug, thank him for understanding when no one else did, and possibly have some of that fucking genius creativity rub off on me , Dave Grohl and Krist Novoselic to jam with, Johnny Depp to figure out where all those deep creatures hide, and Jack Nicholson just cuz.

Music:

Creative efforts from the grunge era have the ability to fill that void within me like nothing else can. It turns my stomach, makes my heart bleed, and excites me to no end. If I had it my way I'd be in Seattle circa the 90s forever. The three bands I would literally lay my life down for are Hanson, Nirvana, and Seether. Other bands with which I identify as far as lyrics go are Evanescence, AFI and Silverchair. I support local bands! I dig a lot of different bands and am willing to give anything a chance.

Movies:

Billy Crudup is my lover. Horror film (not most of the crap they pass off today) fanatic. I LOVE indie, classics, John Waters, Gus Van Sant, Tim Burton, and Christopher Guest films. My favorites include Stage Beauty, Casablanca, Last Days, Hype!, Singles, Empire Records, High Fidelity, Rockstar, Gia, Rocky Horror, Magnolia, Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, The Libertine, Benny and Joon, Pirates of the Caribbean, Alice in Wonderland, Almost Famous, and Spinal Tap.

Television:

Boy Meets World, Sex and the City, Ace of Cakes, Friends, VH-1 Classic's The Alternative, the original Headbanger's Ball, Inked, Miami Ink, any of those bride shows (Bridezilla, etc.)

Books:

I prefer to read song lyrics and Poe. I love biographies and books concerning music, whatever the aspect may be.

Heroes:

my mom, Kurt Cobain, and Hanson. Not kidding... and I have my reasons OTHER than fandom.
