My Name is Käthe.
I take joy in strange things.
Lip Smacker.
Anything that sparkles.
My family takes great comedic liberty with this by reminding me of it every five minutes.
I'm Anal Retentive.
That's why all my CDs are in alphabetical order.
But my room still looks like an 88 mortar shell hit it.
I think that there should be a UN Peacekeeper standing in the corner guarding a bag of rice.
I get a bit obsessed about things.
TV shows in particular.
Farscape is the current victim.
My heroes are Susan Ivanova, Ms. Parker and Officer Aeryn Sun.
Is there some sort of pattern there?
I try to separate myself from others at school by listening to my CD player until the lecture begins.
Everyone thinks I'm that weird brainy chick.
No one talks to me.
I like it that way.
I can be rather nasty and vicious.
People think it's funny if they aren't the ones I'm tearing into.
I tend to smile a lot.
I think I have a nice smile.
Aside from that one tooth that is starting to stick out.
It makes me look lopsided.
This list seemed like a good idea at the time.
I'm not so sure now.
I love bread.
I love the smell of copier toner.
Hence I am always volunteering to make copies at work.
Nobody can recognize my phone voice at work.
Apparently it's a lot nicer than my regular one.
I'm a self proclaimed Nerd.
People seem to think that when I say that I'm being self deprecating.
I think being a Nerd is a good thing.
Do you see a cool candy named Prep? Popular?
I revel in my comparatively low self esteem.
I'm comfortable with it.
And in makes me funny in a way no one else is.
I'm attracted to rather confident guys, bordering on arrogant actually.
I'm Queen of the Dysfunctional Non-Relationship.
I'm scared that I'll be one of those girlfriends that all the guy's friends hate.
So I don't even entertain the prospect of attracting someone besides a toothless old man.
I can't tell you how much easier my life is thinking like that.
I like walking in the rain.
No umbrella thank you. You're going to get wet anyway, why not do it full out?
I hate sappy movies.
Give me a "Guy Movie" any day.
I think way too much.
I want to stab my brain with a Q-Tip.
But that would be bad.
I want to change my name.
Maybe Katja.
But then who would know me?
And I would loose my Super Umlot Power too.
I only like a few people, and out of all of those I only get to see one with any regularity.
I'm passive-aggressive to a high extent.
Usually I'll just shut myself off from the situation rather than start an argument.
I have this theory that I'm really just a side character in someone else's movie.
It seems to explain a lot about my life.
Like why I never seem to be able to break out and do new things.
It would screw up the dynamic of the movie and they would have to give me more screen time.
And just for the record I hate the Real World and didn't really get into The Matrix either.
I'm a self processed Quote Whore.
That's why Post-Its are a good thing.
I can't wait for my ten year high school reunion.
I've been waiting for it since I was a sophomore.
Can you tell I have that whole high school outcast complex about showing up and wow-ing everyone?
Mine's purely a physical issue though.
Low physical self esteem rears its ugly head.
I think I would make a good tragic heroine.
Can't you just see me pining away on a cliff somewhere?
But true to my life I would probably be pining over Gilligan like in that Snickers commercial.
My verbal skills have greatly diminished since I started writing this journal.
So I'm going to stop writing this now before I loose any more.
Ta ta.
