I am here for Friends

About Me


My name is Katie.
I'm enlisting my friends in filling in this section with their perceptions of me as a person and as a friend.If you're a friend of mine and you would like to write a descriptive paragraph about how you see me as a person and friend, please message it to me and I will add it to this section. :)
This is what my friends have to say "about me":
"I find Katie passionate about things that are important to her. She takes the responsibility to make a difference in the world. If we had more people who thought the way Katie does this world would be a much better place." - Ken
"katie is a kind soul. she's willing to explain things. she's articulate. she's extremely intelligent and she shares this with the world in the most unpretentious manner, she speaks earnestly, yet warmly. she's a really great speller. and she's totally brave even when she has no idea what she's in for, and i call that...balls." - Angela
"Katie is like a flower. Not one of those greenhouse pretties that is taken care of, watered, kept in a nice and temperature controlled rooms and is in constant blooms. More like... a Black Eyed Susan... or Queen Anne's Lace. One of those wild flowers that manages to make it through the toughest frosts and the hardest times. She's been trampled by hikers or careless foxes and squirrels, been caught unawares by frost and snow, been shined down upon by the sun and pleasantly caught in the rain. And when the season dies, she just goes back to thinking on how to be better and stronger and makes it to yet another season, with new zest and a healthy attitude that maybe her season won't be bad. And if it is, it's just another season to learn from." -Meredith K. (how I love you!!)
"Katie is 1,000,000 things. She is swift to love and hurried to be kind. She takes the time to make someone feel special and takes nothing for granted. She is someone who is funny, considerate and cherishes every word, every moment, and every feeling. She is a wonderful treasure who is easily amazed and treasures everything. Thank you so much for the 1,000,000 times you have made me smile." -Michael
"Katie is a spiritual explorer who was born with a machete for clearing away the dense vines that hide the truth. She may seem quite urban, sophisticated and world-wise but is truly searching for a quiet hidden cottage in the woods with a garden and a porch and a fireplace... and a small stone well with ivy growing on it. A place where the trees can speak to her of ancient times, the wind can whisper its secrets, and the bubbling creek can sing the song of infinity. And she likes to listen and to translate and write these things down to share with the rest of us. She is an exploring spirit and I, for one, love her for it." -Morgan
What I have to say "about me":
I haven't figured out that I'm cool just like I am yet, except in brief moments of lusid self-acceptance. I take pleasure in the little luxuries in life, or the things I find luxurious, anyway; mornings in steaming, clanking breakfast diners with my beloved shitty diner coffee and good company, being all alone in a peaceful cemetery, racing the sun to the horizon as it sets, driving free on the highway, noticing the gorgeous gargoyle facade for the first time on the same building I've passed a million times. I want to be a better person, and I want to help uplift the world. I'm a writer who took a ten year sojourn from being a novelist and tried to fill the void with poetry, but this was a practice in both futility and masochism. Some people seemed to like it, but I'm glad I'm feeling the juices flow again and beginning to craft stories again.
As both a disclaimer for intolerant people and as a proclamation of something about me I am proud of: I am a Scientologist, and no, I do not worship aliens. What I do believe in and practice are explained here: www.scientology.org.
If you're going to send me a friend request, please send along a quick message telling me who you are and why you want to be my friend. I'm really not uptight about the friends I accept on Myspace, but I do have the tendency to ignore and/or refuse friend requests from people who send me a request without a message, because often, I can't tell much about the person just by their profile. So please just take a second to introduce yourself.
I am too many things to try to accurately sum up here. Ask my friends, or get to know me.
LEAVE ME A VOICE MESSAGE YOU GUYS! ALL YOU NEED IS A PHONE!!! :)

Respectfully, I DON'T want to meet you if you are:
Closed minded.
Phony.
Apathetic and/or destructive.
Someone who enjoys belittling other people.
Someone who's unable to handle people having different views than you.
Someone who's unable to tolerate others being happy, getting well, and succeeding.
Someone who enjoys harming living things.
Someone who isn't truthful and/or isn't interested in the pursuit of truth.
Someone who is aggressively anti-Scientology. You don't have to be a Scientologist for me to want to meet you, but you sure as hell have to respect the fact that I am one. No exceptions. Period.
Basically, if you fit any or all of these, save us both the time and trouble and keep on moving.
