[Miss Kari Anne]

In case you're lookin'... that's my <3 there on my sleeve.

About Me

... I love my family, and my dog is pretty much amazing.
"Modesty is LOST on Fools..." best quote ever.. Okay, anyways! Well, the name's Kari Anne; my friends call me Hirshey. I'm German, a dual citizen; Canadian and U.S. - a Gemini, 5'6'', 130 lbs - I'm a small chica, but I got some punch to me. I grew up in a Christian household, and have a very strong bond with my parents and sister. WELL... this summer, I was an initial attack wildland fire fighter, AND in my spare time worked as a lifeguard... does life get any better?! Also... I love gettin' down and dirty! (sorry, not like that boys!) I hunt (coyotes, deer, tryin' for moose, cougar, grouse...) fish, camp, hike, bike, swim, play soccer (varsity 4 year, captain, first team all league), softball (varsity 4 years first team all league, and team captain) volleyball, basketball, baseball, rock climb... etc. I just love bein' outdoors. But I do clean up decently when the time calls, and I know how to be a lady, too. I love to dance, sing (performed once, never again... lol!) I LOVE photography: being on both ends of the lens makes me incredibly happy... doing some modeling over in Seattle this Fall... :) I write poetry (Whos Who Among American Poets, published, formal lyricist for a band in the UK,member of the American Poets Society) draw, paint.. etc. I'm no ditz, either. With a 4.0 GPA (until this last year) and a wit as quick as your attention span, you can be sure I'm always on top of things. I've always been "one of the boys", and an open ear. I'm not the party type, though I'll carry your drunken arse anywhere if you're a friend. I thrive on respect, trust, love, and mutual understanding. If you can do that, I'm all yours. Commitment is hard to come by these days. So if you want it, boys... you BEST take care if it, damnit! :-P
... I go to UW...
GO HUSKIES!

My Interests

Anything and everything outdoors. I love my summer job as a lifeguard part time, and a fire fighter full time. I love reading, singing, writing, poetry, soccer, softball, basketball, football, hunting, fishing, camping, hiking, biking, dancing, singing, goofing off... randomness. music. ALMOST any kind. :).Poetry: Someone who can decipher things such as this:Logic does well at school; And Reason answers every question right; Poll-parrot Memory unwinds her spool; And Copy-Cat keeps Teacher well in sight: The Heart's a truant; nothing does by rule; Safe in its wisdom, is taken for a fool; Nods through the morning on the dunce's stool; And wakes to dream all night

How much have I changed?
two years ago:


I was a rock for my friends to stand on
When all ground around fell loose
I was a number all people could count on
To stay steadfast in my love for life.
I was a lover, a fighter, a sinner
One who never thought "good enough".
I was a hunter, a daughter, a winner,
In the things that fulfilled me the most.
I had passion and grace;
For all of my adventures...
I had a song in my heart; a smile on my face
For the ones who couldn't find it in themselves.

today :

I find strength in myself as well as my friends
When all the world seems weak.
I am a number all people can count on
And to know that I'll always be there..

I am a lover, a fighter, a sinner
Who never speaks of "good enough".
I am a hunter, a daughter, a winner
In the things that I know matter the most.

I have passion and grace;
For the world to see...
I have a song in my heart; a smile on my face
For those who can't find it in themselves.

I have no feelings of dispair,
For I know how to love; how to care..
And know that the feelings are shared.

I am stronger and smarter
And more weathered, more modest...
I've learned to be a better daughter,
From the things the world has taught us.

I've been heartbroken and full of sorrow
And weaker than ever before
But I have faith in my tomorrows
For I have yet to reach the golden shores.

I'm a friend
... an open shoulder
... a Godsend
... the hardest one to hold
... a doctor
... an angel
... a lawyer
... a devil
... a coworker
... a lover
... a confidant
... a mischeif maker
... an enemy
... a risk taker
... a daughter
... a sister
... a child
... an adult
... a little wild
... a romantic
... one who will love you 'til the end.

I am a sinner; I am saved
I am complicated; I am simple
I am poor; I am rich
I am strong; yet I am weak.
I am happy; I hide my sadness
I want nothing; I want for so much
I am dreamless; I spend my life dreaming
I hope for so much; I am hopeless
I live my life well; I'm not living it nearly well enough
I am smart; I know nothing
I love so much; I am loveless
I am found; I am so lost
I am beautiful; yet the mirror never reflects it.

And the way I have changed the most? ...I realize these things about myself.

The biggest discovery of oneself is to realize enough about yourself that you reach the understanding that you know nothing.

I'd like to meet:

Honest people. Real people. People who know what they want, and aren't afraid to try to get it reguardless of the trials it may bring. People with similar interests; people who know what respect and trust is... PEOPLE WHO KNOW WHAT THE WORD CHIVALRY MEANS and PRACTICE the term!

First and foremost is my friend, Bryan. The triumphs he has overcome, the class and respect he maintains, and the dedication and steadfast nature in which he handles himself is unmatched in my eyes. He simply is the best. ALSO... The Far Side Gallery + Calvin and Hobbes. Kendra; you keep me sane... (although together we're rather insane if I do say so myself!) ..Superman? he so owns Batman and Spiderman. :). ESPECIALLY if the dude from Smallville plays him! omg. 3! (ya see I've always been a sucker for a pair of baby blues).
