A Brief Introduction

I guess that some introduction is necessary so that all those you read this blog will have some background when reading entries.

Name: Kate

Sex: Female

Age: In my 20's - I will not disclose my actual age - privacy please.

Region: USA - East Coast -

Over time, you will most likely learn the exact area but for now let's pretend that I could be any random girl in my 20's living on the East Coast of the USA. I define East Coast because I feel that the East Coast of the US is so very different in comparison to the West Coast. I won't even begin to discuss the Midwest and how they differ - that would be an entire blog post in itself.

Likes: Books; Music; Movies; Sunny Days; Rainy Days; Sports; Gentlemen; a fantastic pair of high heels; Hazelnut Coffee; Beer; the Beach; Traveling; the Study of History; Exercise; People Watching; Writing.

Dislikes: Stupid People - I work in retail...enough said; Mean People; Science; Math; Pessimism; Horseback Riding - I am beginning to think I am scared of horses; Scary Movies; Stomach Aches; Papercuts; Hangnails; Liars; Disorganization.

I think this is a good portrait of me. It could be a bit blunt and harsh but it is the truth. I tell it like it is and if you don't like it, then you probably won't like me. I have a filter but it's not always very strong and I am known to say the wrong thing. I try not to. I don't like to hurt people's feelings but I know I have done it. I am not happy about it but I do move on with my life.

I would say that I have few true regrets. I am lived my life rather fully at the moment. I hope to live more as I get more money. I love to travel - it has to be my first true love - no my second. My first true love is reading. I love nothing better than getting into bed at 9 p.m. and reading until I fall asleep. I would choose reading over most everything except travel. I will travel in any means I can. My goal is to get to Europe and backpack. I need to find a buddy but that is the eventual goal - hopefully within the next few years.

Life Goals: Travel the world; Receive my Master's and Ph. D.; Get Married; Have children; Live a good, long life; Build a house; Learn a foreign language; Run a Marathon.

These are a few goals that I have set out for myself. They are by no means in order. Just random thoughts and goals that seem achievable. I should start working on some now. Ah procrastination.

Well I think that is all for now. Check back frequently for updates. I don't have a scheduled day for posting. They will be random. Posted as thoughts come to mind.

Till then....

Welcome

Hello All -

Well hello to all those who might end up reading this blog at some point. As of right now, I am not entirely sure why I decided to start this blog. Maybe my daily journal/diary entries aren't enough to satisfy the need to pen my thoughts. Maybe I need another place to vent my feelings. Either way, here goes nothing.

This blog will be about anything and everything and most likely nothing important. It will be my thoughts about life, society, books, music, movies, people, etc. - I hope you get the point. I will try to be as true to my thoughts as possible but I cannot be asked to pen all my deepest, darkest feelings to the evil trappings of the internet.

That is all for this first post. Over time, I will introduce myself. Basics, nothing in particular. I pray that you do not ask for anything more. Any comments are welcomed. While I might not always comment back, I will read and appreciate them.
