About Me

'Believe nothing, no matter where you read it or who has said it, unless it agrees with your own reason, and your own common sense.' -Buddha, and my Fascist highschool Spanish teacher.

Snugcrawling, Jameson in coffee mugs instead of coffee, my abuela's cafe con leche, books, salt! lime! garlic! and especially mustard, 80's love songs--cos they kept that shit real, Meche (my wonder chihuahua), Atticus and Finch (my turtles), Trouble with a capital "T," sheep creeping in big green fields, my grandfather, cemeteries, black eyes, my baby's blue eyes, trains (jumping them, watching them, chasing them, listening to them, throwing rocks at them [they spark], waving at them, counting them, etc.), homemade haircuts, old photo albums, promenades, abandoned buildings, drawing drawing drawing, falling and hurting myself, being pushed and hurting myself, peg legs and other scalawag, ne'er-do-well peraphernaila, etc., etc..

My Interests

"K" is for Kate...
And more specifically: Libertad! Cuba libre! climbing trees (especially magnolia), "Heavy Metal" (my bike) and exploring Brooklyn on it,
learning to draw with my left hand, serenading the ones i love, plotting the demise of Fidel Castro and--as a rule--making things as awesome as possible. And records...I like records and wine and whiskey. And my husband. I reeeeally like my husband. www.freethegnomes.com

Wedding Photos!

On Saturday March 3rd, William Robison and I got hitched in Decatur, GA...my home-sweet-homeland. It was amazing, and aside from being sick and nearly losing Will's tux (as well as the wedding cake),...

Why I love my family and fear for my future.

Most of us have things that embarrass us--and I'm not talking about an "omg my bikini top popped off RIGHT when that hunky lifeguard walked by" kind of moment. It's more of a post-adolescent "this is ...
