Home

she wants to go home, but nobody's home
it's where she lies, broken insideShe isn't sure where home is anymore. She used to think it was with her Mama in Tennessee, but it didn't feel right after awhile. Mama got married to Mr. Right in a pretty, little church just outside Memphis, and then home became Mama's home, not Kat's, no matter how ( Read more... )

RomanceI don't really get romance. There are a lot of things in life that I can give great, quirky insight about. I even think I've got a handle on marriage since Mama's been down the aisle six times - I've been everything from her flowergirl to her maid of honor. But, as for romance? I must've missed out on that one somewhere along the way ( Read more... )

Kat re-tied the strings of her apron into a lazy bow while she stared at the book of espresso recipes, determined to find something to keep her awake. The last few weeks were running together, blending into a hazy blur. She had moved into the hotel, but she hadn't really had any time to stick around and socialize with her two jobs. She had tried to ( Read more... )

Suspense.I work at a music store when I’m not out stakin’ things that go bump in the night. And, I decided to go through some of the old No Doubt albums, because you know, I miss old school Gwen. I get that she’s got her own thing goin’ on now, but do ya’ll really like it as much as when she was in No Doubt? And, I’m talkin’ pre-Rock-Steady, ( Read more... )

She couldn't remember exactly when she talked to Angel last, but she knew it had been awhile. She had decided she needed some time to get her mind around everything, and he seemed okay with that. But, he said there were others like her and plenty who understood. He gave her an address to a hotel and told her to drop by, whenever she was ready. She ( Read more... )

"If they give you ruled paper, write the other way". -Juan Ramon JimenezShe bops along to the beat of her own tamborine - because percussion isn't her style, and she feels drums are overrated. She's more than quirky, but not quite to the level of certifiably insane. She's not far from it though. Not lately ( Read more... )

What did you dream about last night?I had a weird dream last night. I think that’s pretty normal, considering that I work two jobs and kill vampires all day, every day - well, okay, technically all-night, every-night since vampires aren’t much for the daylight, but that’s alright. But, okay, I see a lot of weird things in the day. There’s all kinds ( Read more... )

I know my mother, she always told me
The road would get cold
I never listened, always forgettin'
The way back home
-The WreckersWe moved a lot. I mean, seriously? I’ve lived in a lot of big cities - well, fairly big anyway, because calling those big while I’m out here in LA is ( Read more... )

Hey, ya’ll. Okay, seriously, don’t make fun of my accent. I’ve heard it all before, and it ain’t been funny yet! But anyway, my name is Kat. Alright, so that’s not my full name - it’s Ekaterina Oksana Thomas. I’m named after two figure skaters that my mom thought were real pretty when I was born. Whatever floats her boat, I guess. I wish she’d ( Read more... )
