The names Katie. I've had what you would call a hard knock life but things are starting to look up. I'm a high school grad who's worked for Baltimore's Pets, Suncoast, Riverview Elementary School (as a reading tutor in the Reach for reading program, Academic Tutor, Substitute and test proctor and scribe), and currently at the House of Tropicals
I spend free time writing and reading various stories, fanfics, mangas, books, comics....ect... I also draw and paint some.
I have amazing friends who have gotten me into the world of anime conventions. I've attended Otakon since 2000 - 2006. I started staffing it in 2007. I staff in the Art Show/Art Auction. I've attended Nekocon once and staffed it a few times (Video game department-mainly tournaments). I've attended Katsucon three times and helped staff the Otakon table and look forward to attending it again this year. I've attended Yaoicon I've also staffed Anime Boston08.
It's a busy life but I love it!
I have a Laurell K. Hamilton community called kiss_of_shadows which is dedicated to the author and the fans. I have a Livejournal icon journal winter_moon where I post icons for others to use. I also take requests.
I also have RP journal, or roleplaying journals. So far I just have two Gundam Wing LJ's. I have relena_darlian and sally_po. I made the background for that Lj. I've just recently started a journal for my ABJD's rowan_leaves.
"Whatever you give a woman, she's going to multiply. If you give her a house, she'll give you a home. If you give her groceries, she'll give you a meal. If you give her a smile, she'll give you her heart. She multiplies and enlarges what is given to her. So... if you give her crap, you will receive more shit than any one human being can handle." ~No Idea Who Said It

A White Rose by John Boyle O’Reilly (1844–1890)
THE RED rose whispers of passion, And the white rose breathes of love; O, the red rose is a falcon, And the white rose is a dove.
But I send you a cream-white rosebud With a flush on its petal tips; For the love that is purest and sweetest Has a kiss of desire on the lips.
"Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness, that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, 'Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous?' Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small doesn't serve the world. There's nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. It's not just in some of us, it's in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we're liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others."
- Nelson Mandella
