Wowwie zowwie... You actually came to this part of the site! XD Whelp, I guess that means I have to say something, now don't I?

 

First off, I would like to state that I'm a very odd litte cookie indeed. I'm very quiet and shy with people I don't know very, very, very well, but online and amongst the closest of friends and family, I'm hyper and crazy and a little loud. I obsess over things easily. I'm quite morbid. I'm a bit of a pyromaniac, so I love fireworks, campfires, bonfires, and, my personal favorite, knocking around the yard with a lighter and igninting anything that will catch and not get me in trouble. I also love motorcycles and the like. I'm going to get my license so I can ride a scooter. I'm eventually going to get a sparkly purple Vespa. I have no fear of motorcycles, but cars scare the devil out of me. I met my best friend online. He's a super person! IQ wise, I am highly gifted (In the 140s, putting me in the genius range.), with my special skills lying in science, language (Includes writing.), art, and mechanical inclination. I'm also akward, easily confused, dense at times, and in need of a good beating with a clue-by-four. I'm very highly strung and tend to go over the edge just before the new moon. I suck at math. I'm quite the cynic. I tend to act like a little kid, because I love running and jumping and riding my bike, and I'm very curious and love learning about the world. I have tons of energy, and tend to act enthusiastic. I sometimes feel really old, though. I sometimes have the spunk and practicality of a young adult. But mostly, I'm just childish. And strange. Well, mostly just strange.

 

Oh, and I once pulled a tiny shard of glass out of my palm with my teeth.

 

 

Name: Katie

Nickname: Atagamay. You see, in the Akira manga, Yamagata says "There's nothing wrong with disgusting problems!" And I once said "You didn't discuss me!" Thus, I am Yamagata backwards, and Yamagata backwards is Atagamay, so there you go! XD

Squirted forth into the cruel world: August 29th, 1988

Sexual Orientation: Asexual

Gender: No, please! -^_^-

Zodiac signs: In regular ol' western Astrology, I'm a Virgo. In China, one would call me a Dragon. The Celts would insist that I'm a Vine. Seeing as I fit the traits for all of them eerily well, they're all right! XD

Religion: I'll just say that I'm a Unitarian and a Deist, as those are blanket terms that basicly state that I believe in a rather uninvolved God, and tolerate whatever anyone wishes to do with themselves (within limits). I draw my philosophy from many different religions and beliefs. I'm currently quite fond of Kabbalah. I believe in evolution.

Heritage: German/Welsh/Native American. The Welsh is from my dad's side and a bit from my mom. The German is from my mom's side. A sixteenth of me is Native American from my mom, and a smidge more from my dad.

Allergic to: Pollen, dust, cats, mold, latex, and the harsher stripe of hairdye. Mine is a life of itching and pounding headaches.

Eyes: Greyish blue with a little yellow. In most lights, anyway.

Hair: It's naturally a shade darker than a "dirty blonde," but I turned it plum colored. It's chin length with bangs. I pull it up Asuka-style in two big clips most days.

Skin: As white as my white cat! XD Tanning by Toshiba.

Height: 5'8 (Because 5'7 3/4 is an akward number and not that different, anyway.)

Pets: Four cats (Oddie Connie, Peaches, TJ), and a Boxer dog (Zelda)

I wanna be when I grow up: An archeologist or an astronomer. I also want to run an anime store with my best friend and write fiction books.

Computer: Toshiba Satellite. In case that means nothing to to you, it's a largeish laptop that runs Windows XP. It's generally quite speedy and agreeable.

Favorite color: Purple. And black.

Stuff I wear: T-shirts that advertise some anime or have a random design or slogan, thrift store stuff, trenchcoats, big clunky boots, Converse All-Stars (I collect them!), colorful little baubles, shiny things, oddball silver jewelry, jeans of the shabbier type, lots and lots of black stuff, many black and white striped things. Oh, and I have a super cool leather jacket.

Label: I'm unclassifiable. Perhaps some freakish nerd/beatnik mix. But that doesn't even begin to cover it... O_o
