My name is Katherine Elizabeth and I was born on September.10th, 1985 to my parents, Heather and Lawrence. I spent my childhood living in a smallish city (population approx. 110,000) in southern British Columbia, Canada. As a kid I was always getting into trouble, always making messes and generally keeping my parents busy. On May.12th, 1989 my sister, Erin, was born. I was not excited. My childhood was good, my mother was a stay at home mom so I was never in daycare and I rarely had baby-sitters. I went to the same elementary school from kindergarten to grade seven, then moved on to my current high school. I have lived in the same city, and in the same house all my life. I have never moved and I like it that way. Right now I am in high school, in grade 12, senior year and striving for a 4.0. Currently I have attained it. Go me. I have brown hair, blue eyes and I'm 5'8". See picture above for more details. I go by Katherine or sometimes Kath, but never, ever Kathy. I am not, and never will be a Kathy. I'm one of those people who is content to be alone. I actually like being alone, and I might even like it a little bit too much. I tend to be anti-social. I do like hanging out with my friends, but I am perfectly happy to be alone. I like to listen to music, draw, sing, play music, daydream, run, go to the gym, procrastinate, clean, babysit and watch movies. I like other things too, but mainly those. I guess I should state the fact that I am messed up. You name it, I've probably done it to myself. Stupid ass things. I don't like me very much, if at all. Ask for more details. If you have journal access you'll be able to see what I mean. I should also point out the fact that I am a severe perfectionist. I think it ties in with my eating problem. I like things to be done 100% right and perfect. I don't like to settle for less. I set high standards and try my best to achieve them. People say I have low self-esteem and I would have to agree. I don't like myself very much. I'm ugly, I'm fat - so what is there to like? I hate the fact that I am not perfect and I am trying as hard as I can to be perfect. Maybe one day I'll finally be perfect. In the future I hope to become a teacher. An elementary school teacher to be more specific. I love being with children and I love teaching people things. Children make me happy and I have always admired my teachers as a child and I would love to be one. I think teachers play such a huge role in a childs life and being able to have an impact on someone like that would mean a lot to me. I love playing music and music is a huge part of my life. I play the clarinet, the tenor sax and the piano. I love playing music and band is my favorite class. Without music the world would be so dull, such a quiet place. I don't think I'd be able to live without music, it'd be so...quiet (ooo, aren't I a smart one!). I have no respect for people who are rude and for people who are mean. I have a tendency to feel sorry for people who are classified as "losers" or "loners". I don't think it's fair that some people have to be tormented their whole lives. What could a person possibly do to be punished that way? Don't ever make fun of someone infront of me because I will get mad! So this is me. I'm Katherine and welcome to my life! |
