About Me

Hi, my name is Kate, and I'm addicted to Wikipedia. I love Dr. Pepper.

About my goal in life:
I seek to be the next Jane Goodall. Someday *I* will be the person who brings the animals onto the Late Show for show 'n tell.

About my shoes:
I
About my musical stylings:

vibraphone
Pronunciation: 'vI-br&-"fOn
Function: noun
Etymology: Latin vibrare + International Scientific Vocabulary -phone
: a percussion instrument resembling the xylophone but having metal bars and motor-driven resonators for sustaining the tone and producing a vibrato
- vibraphonist /-"fO-nist/ noun

Famous vibraphonists tend to be male. Until now.

p.s. I really am THAT tall.
