Sigh, I want to read so many of these and yet I've only read Paper Towns. Not that that wasn't awesome, but I've still got some reading to do. I've been up to my armpits in Arthur C. Clarke lately, and I guess it's time I got back to other authors..…

I live in Cary, though next year I will be going to college in Minnesota. I also lived in Woodstock for four years.

Words cannot describe how happy I am that this group was made. :D During the time I have been on the Ning, I have noticed how many Illinois nerdfighters there are. Who would have thought that there could be so many nerdfighters nearby?

Profile Information

What Kind of Nerdfighter Are You?

I am a reading nerdfighter.

About Me:

I'm seventeen years old. I tend to read a lot. I enjoy being on stage (musicals and choral concerts) and I like to sing. I play a little guitar. I'm not that good though because I know like five chords. Recently, I've learned how to play the ukulele and love it. I'll probably add some more things about me later.

Favorite Books, Movies, Music, and more

I have wayyy too many book titles to put here. Basically, I like any young adult fiction book that is a tad angsty. Oh, and Harry Potter.

What's your favorite thing to put on your head?

I enjoy putting a lot things on my head.

If you could do your happy dance with anyone who would it be with?

Hmmm...that's a hard question. I would probably do my happy dance with my friends.

Box of awesome?

So I guess this is my box...

Maybe I'll talk about myself in it.

If you look down and to the left, you'll see some main stuff about me.

It's not a whole lot, but it's there.

So other things you might want to know-

-I'm a music junkie. I like many different kinds of music. My iPod has almost 2,000 songs from many different genres.
-Even though I love being on stage, I can't dance if you put a gun to my head and was like "Uhmmm...you need to dance or else I'm going to shoot you in the head." So if you want to kill me, don't make me dance. Just shoot me.
-Every once in a while when I talk, a corny Your Mom joke comes up. They're all lame, but it just happens.
-I became addicted to caffeine the beginning of last school year and I'm now paying for it. Headaches everyday and it's getting harder and harder to prepare my body for beach season.
-I don't really know what I want to do with my life. I was thinking about a career having to do with books and wriiting, but I don't know. Whatever happens will happen I guess.

I also thought that this would be a great place to put my other websites.

This is my fifty book challenge. [Complete!]

~~I, Katie, promise to read fifty books by the end of 2009. I will post whenever I finish a book.~~

I finished! Yay!

With the year not being over yet, I still have the intention of reading more books. I'm still debating if I should post the other books I read before the end of the year or not. Let me know what you think. Do you want to know what I'm reading?

Also, I'm reviewing them on a new YouTube channel I created - http://www.youtube.com… Continue

Glee makes me think unrealistic thoughts.

A few hours ago, I was catching up on the TV shows I have missed in the past couple of weeks. Glee's episode "Ballad" really got me thinking.

In this episode, the teacher tells the glee club to sing ballads telling their true feelings. It ended up helping them communicate their feelings better than it would have by telling others how they felt just by talking.

This episode made me think about what would happen if this was actually socially acceptable - singing to others instead of talking abou… Continue

I love awesome people.

These guys at my school re-created "Here It Goes Again" (A.K.A. - the Ok Go Treadmill video) and put it onto YouTube.

Also, they have a goal to make it have a quarter of a million views by the end of summer.

Help the cause. Watch the video. Spread the word. Enjoy the awesome. Continue

Ah. Summer school is actually kinda fun...we hardly get any hw :)

Anyways, I go to Central. Go Tigers!!!
Any chance you're taking US history this summer? Because I am and like half of the people in my class are from CG.

At 11:20pm on July 1, 2009, kim rachel gray said…: Haha im glad you like it! Two of my friends actually got in a fight over my copy! It took one of them three weeks to read it, and three days for the other, so they had this oddly hilarious mini argument over it! But it is an amazing book!

At 7:15am on June 20, 2009, Jens said…: thanks :)
Yeah, I am reading the Harry Potter books to refresh my memory. I am half in book number three now, I love it:)

At 9:54pm on April 4, 2009, Katy said…: Awesome! This is cool. So, how would you like to do this? Snail mail would be wicked, but my mom is Internet paranoid. So is email okay? :) I'm looking forward to this!
