hi there. i'm katie. i'm eighteen years old. i live in northern virginia but i'm heading eighteen hours away to the university of missouri-columbia in the fall. i love politics and television. i consider myself a mix of liz lemon and ross geller. i act like a cliche on a daily basis, drinking too much tea and reading too much sylvia plath. music, pillows, and my friends are the only things that keep me somewhat sane. i don't quite know what i want to do with my life but i know i want it to be anything but typical. i love little dresses, warm weather, chinese food, fresh air, inside jokes, giraffes, adventures, and sing-a-long movies.

she's over this place, needs to feel the midwest wind in her face

alive in the age of worry
smile in the age of worry
go out in the age of worry
and say "worry? why should i care".

I am an excitable person who only understands life lyrically, musically, in whom feelings are much stronger as reason. I am so thirsty for the marvelous that only the marvelous has power over me. Anything I can not transform into something marvelous, I let go. Reality doesn’t impress me. I only believe in intoxication, in ecstasy, and when ordinary life shackles me, I escape, one way or another. No more walls

hearts don't break. they bruise, then get better.
