My name is Kait.

I have eyes like paperclips and a coffee pot soul.

I attend the University of New Orleans. My major is film, theatre, and communication arts. Currently, I am focusing on film. I plan to go as far into my education as possible. I hope to get a masters in creative writing, and eventually a Ph.D.

I am barefoot as much as possible. I often feel nostalgic, but I am working on that. Sunlight makes me feel euphoric. Matthew Lillard was wrong when he said you couldn't live your life through lyrics.

I enjoy the small things in life. I like local coffee shops and hookah bars. I like wearing vests. I roll the windows down frequently so I can feel the air on my face. I can always go for a pina colada icee. I have cuddling parties with my best friends.

I never thought Dane Cook was very funny. I tend to avoid going to the DMV as much as possible. I hate earbud headphones. I prefer buying individual CDs to using an MP3 player. I wish I had a record player with an endless amount of vinyl.

I would rather swim in a pool full of jello than a pool full of noodles.

One day I want to follow one of my favorite bands on tour.

Listen to "Kate" by Ben Folds if you wish to know more.

Collecting cover art, quoting Bukowski's poetry, journaling and scrapbooking, analyizing of screenplays and literature, burning mixed CDs, getting paint all over my clothes, sleeping, method acting.

Them big browns, usually.

My best friend always calls me Daria.

Because the world is round, it turns me on.
Because the wind is high, it blows my mind.
Because the sky is blue, it makes me cry.

You think Captain Murphy is just goddamn hilarious.
