KATHI

I am exceedingly dry...and wet

About Me

Deep, caring connection with people inspires me. I am: mercurial, impulsive, charming & disarming, highly analytical, ballsy, and very sensitive. If you want to be humoured or a bullshit-feel-good response to a question, I wouldn't ask me. Add to that: a die-hard romantic able to swear like a longshoreman while employing a vocabulary that requires the listener drag along his dictionary (no, not ALL the time! Many times my conversation is completely pedantic.) I am both intense and fragile, risky and reserved. I only deal with people who understand this - ideally, who embody it. I am all these qualities depending on the moment - and how fully I display my inner world directly correlates with my comfortability around YOU. Frankly, I CANNOT STRESS this enough.
You Are Lightning
Beautiful yet dangerous
People will stop and watch you when you appear
Even though you're capable of random violence
You are best known for: your power
Your dominant state: performing What Type of Weather Are You?
(Yes, Jonny A, you called it years ago.)
Also - I have a naked (i.e. HAIRLESS) CAT - his name is Marchand, and he looks like a blue version of "Mr. Bigglesworth". I STUPID ADORE him. He has a strong personality (like his momma.) If you don't get on with Marchand - or have judgement about him - please, just go away... (I don't smoke anymore, but this just so befits my personality I couldn't bear to take it down.) If you really want distilled insight into my twisted, adorable, little mind - Read the BLOGS. All 14 (or whatever it is these days). C'mon! You have stamina!...If you have developed the ability to read for comprehension and possess its complement, intuition, you'll know too much.

I'd like to meet:

Anyone who works on his/herself, and believes what you create on the inside manifests on the outside. I want accountable human beings - I detest cowards. We all have moments in which we are scared, but if you cannot consistently stand and take action for your beliefs, identity and the people you love....my response falls somewhere between bemused loss of interest and utter disdain. If you are close to me I am your loyal champion, but that does not exempt you from being your own. I love people who are simultaneously funny as hell, poignant and insightful. I prefer those with an inner wisdom in which I wax breathless. I admire those who aren't afraid to be disliked, and can back it up. I am not interested in the traditional landscape to life or those who want it, and social conservatives bore me. Ladies: not too girly please; it is essential that you, above all others, kick ass. I am always looking for more great (platonic) girlfriends. Lastly, I have a massive fascination with psychology - it would be wonderful if you had one too.
