Here's to the Girls who just watch, aren't they the best?
So I'm not funny. I'm no comedian. We all know that. Give me the means and I'll do what I can. With a script I can do some fun stuff. But in my natural, Katie - state, I'm not funny. I don't know many good jokes, be them dead baby, your-mama, or blonde ones. I do know riddles though - boy do I know riddles. I can't remember pretty-much anything to do with numbers for the life of me, which is why i'm bad with birthdays. Yet I'm very good with names and remembering things about people. I'm also very good at remembering lyrics. I'm sometimes seen as untrustworthy because of my socialness and love of converstaion, yet I'm hands-down one of the trustworthiest people I know.
I come across as dim or dense at times. I'm not - not even close. I picked musical theatre to get my degree in because I love it, not because I'm bad at everything else. I often ask questions of others to inquire more about them, learn things for future reference, or make them feel at ease in a converstaion. This if often done at my own expense because it puts me in an inferior light - it might be seen that I do not know as much as you, him or her. But how can you assume that until you ask me questions in return - make me feel at ease as well.
On purpose, I try not to be rude, authoriatative, or condescending, even if I am in the position or with someone that I rightfully should be. I refrain often because again, it is a question of ease and making others feel how I would want to feel.
I'm a leader, but not a born-leader. I'm more of an objective independent who will not under any circumstances be a follower.
My music tastes vary. I do not like heavy metal or most metal. I love to dance. Give me music and I will dance, any kind of music.
I hate confrontation and will avoid it under many circumstances. If a wrong has happened to me and not been righted then I will take the path of confrontation and do it in a low-drama way.
I was not a born-actor/singer (an old casette tape of Kokomo can show you). I was born with a love of the stage/film/limelight which has led me on this conquest to develop the skills that can get me there.
I'm too social for my own good at times. I will often do things when I should be resting or sleeping. In a week, I need about one hour to myself. I'd rather be with people than by myself, but do enjoy the odd moment alone.
If I'm doing something I like I never want to leave. A prime example? theme parks - when most are done for the day I'm still up for three more hours - this has happened countless times.
I'm very interested in social dynamics. Peoples' reactions - trigger happy, candid camera, jamie kennedy experiment, etc.
I'm not good at blending when I sing, but I am working on it.
I hate it when I can't completely be myself. I'm drawn to laughter. If I hear any sort of laughter I will find you and try my best to get in on the joke. My dad can tell you, it's a great way to get in on conversations.
I enjoy working-out but understand the dangers of getting too obsessed with it.
I'm a liberal, there's nothing wrong with it. I do a lot of peer pressuring and am trying to stop, but I do it because I enjoy what I'm trying to persuade, I want you to enjoy it too.
I am like my mother at times, but we have to many fundamental differences for me to ever be like her in general.
I thrive on being busy.
I've been enjoying my singledom and will continue too until I find someone who will be a good boyfriend for me.
I'm the opposite of clingy and jealous. I'm very trusting and forgiving, many times to my disadvantage. I thing that a significant other should be on the same level with your good friends and should be a big part of one's life, but not the center of attention or a necessary part of every conversation.
Yes, I actually believe I will succeed in musical theatre in the real world, potentially on Broadway, like it, believe it, or not. Why else would I be working so hard?
One of my favorite things about rock concerts is the lighting.
I'm not a devout religious and have my qulams about organized religion, but I am still a Catholic and have faith. Do not judge me because of any of this. I sin a lot less than more devout Catholics I know.
I love pulling pranks, especially phone calls, and feel that they should be done more.
As much as I may argue or complain about my parents I do love them dearly and nothing will ever change that. They're good people and do deserve respect.
If you are even a year older than me I will treat you with a little more respect and deference than I would of someone my own age, or younger. This is how I was raised, I can't change it.
When I speak of traveling or living overseas it's never with the intention to rub it in or show off, only to relay a fun or "katie" story that I feel can conrtibute to the conversation. My past is part of who I am and nothing more or less should be made of it and anyone who feels differently is just looking for an arguement.
I was shy up until 6th grade.
I'm silly and you have to accept that.
Don't condescend me, I will think less of you.
I don't forget insults or acts of malintention towards me or others, but there is a good chance I will give you another chance - only one more chance.
I have a healthy ego and a high level of self-esteem, but am open to constructive critism at any time.
I'm probably more interesting and intellegent than you give me credit for. Try me.
So this is what happens when I lie in bed for an hour and can't sleep. Felt like writing, this is what came out. Maybe next time I'll talk about Playshop. I'll keep your breath baited.
Thought to leave you with:
The pool players.
Seven at the golden shovel.
We real cool. We
Left School. We
Lurk Late. We
Strike straight. We
Sing sin. We
Thin gin. We
Jazz June. We
Die soon. - Gwendolyn Brooks
