The List


July '99

The whole idea for My So-Called Existence came from my "little sister" Alexis Ericta. She started writing down some of her funnier
daily experiences and using them for email quotes. When I started the Fall '98 semester I began to write down these sarcastic little
observations every day and sending them to 'Lex. I figured that maybe they shouldn't be the only ones to enjoy or be tortured by them
so I've posted them on my web page for all to see. They've kinda become my way of working out things I'm dealing with at the time
so I don't always post them. Hey, a girl has to keep some mystery about her life doesn't she? (Although some of my friends would
argue that I've completely lost any mystery I ever had in the first place by blabbing all the time. *grin*)

    Granted, this is going to be a bit different from my main bio but that's because I view MSCE as my true outlet in life. I barely ever censor anything in here and I often go back and un-censor stuff that I had omitted before.

    My name is Kathe Roper I'm 21 years old. Everyone keeps saying that I'm finally an adult, whatever that means. I live in this backwater little state capital vortex known as Tallahassee, FL. I bitch and gripe about this town and how I want to go somewhere other than FSU for college but the truth is that I will always be drawn back to this place.

    My basic personality is a mix of manic and angst. I'm naturally manic thanks to that wonderful inherited brain chemistry but I have this weird take on life that makes me seem really angstish all the time. My take is that I'm a Curmudgeon In Training. In high school I was well known for being able to verbally annihilate people but that talent has gone away (for the most part) since I went off my lithium three years ago. I'm still quite sarcastic though, I'm one of those people that sits back and makes little comments to make everyone else laugh.

    I've got this whole "troll" complex that makes me like The Plague to any half way worthy guys and that brings me down sometimes. Most of the time though, it really doesn't bother me all that much. I'm the Girl Friday, I hang out almost exclusively with guys; they're just easier to be around. I can say all those semi crude comments around them and they don't look at me like I should be locked up (well, most of the time anyway) and every once in a while they give me some nice little positive reinforcement back that I am indeed not a troll and that I am in fact, a major tease. I can't help the tease part, at some point I discovered that I actually do have some sexual component in my make up and I put it to use in the only fucked up way I know how.

    I'm a slacker by choice but lately I've been exhibiting my ol' Brainiac Skills thereby becoming even more of an enigma to those who know me only from classes at TCC (Tall. Community College).
