Introduction In the words of my dear friend Melanie, "Katie is perhaps the most interesting character I have ever known, about which no amount of words could convey her personality. Therefore, I will say no more."
Interests And now for my interests...., reading, writing, talking (it's true), people, ideas, Jesus Christ (more than a passing interest), music, watercoloring ...etc.
Favorite Movies I am bored by movies lately.
Favorite Music Ella Fitzgerald (Blue Skies, Mack the Knife), Louis Armstrong (Sunny Side of the Street & All of Me), the swinging stuff by Frank Sinatra (stuff like Fly Me to the Moon but the ballads not so much), Dvorak's Humoresque, Chantal Kreviak's Feels Like Home, Lauryn Hill's Miseducation cd, the Carpenters (blame my dad), Santana, I'm Moving On/Rascal Flatts, all of James Taylor's music, Shakira, Claire de Lune, Symphony in Blue, the Beatles (esp. Baby You Can Drive My Car), etc etc etc
Favorite Books I love to read: Ernest Hemingway, Jane Austen, Louisa May Alcott (both the sensational and the Little Women type stuff), Lucy Maud Montgomery, Chaim Potok, Lloyd Alexander, Jane Eyre, CS Lewis, Moby Dick, Tale of Two Cities (but NOT David Copperfield), Ender's Game (but really nothing else by Orson Scott Card), Madeleine L'Engle, The Scarlet Pimpernel, What Katy Did, poetry by Sylvia Plath, Yeats, Eliot, ee cummings, Tennyson, etc etc

The squish of mud between your toes; how would you live your life as a frog?

I have a deep and abiding love for water. I would likely drink the entire pond and live the remainder of my life on a dried up lilypad.
