Every year, when spring comes, my mind goes to one place and one place only, Ninjas.

About Me



I'm Katie, an eternal band nerd and lover of all things British. I have a freakish knowledge of pop culture and will dominate you in Pop Culture Trivial Pursuit. I am a big Cubs fan, even though they break my heart annually. I am a writer/editor for a consulting firm. When I'm not hanging out with my friends and making fun of people at karaoke, I am taking care of and playing with my dog, Stephen.

Let me borrow that top. Betch. ..

Not to gloat, but I'm a genius. Or at least that's what the Internets tells me.

Are YOU a genius ... in your knowledge about me?? Take my quiz and find out. If you do well, you'll win my eternal praise and love. If you fail, your entrails will be pulled from your anus and you will be forced to live on a diet of liquid foods for the rest of your life. WHO'S UP FOR THE CHALLENGE??
