Hi! I'm Katie (:
☼ I'm a wacky 18-year-old girl from the USofA who's in love with life. I'm a Catholic Whovian Potterhead with a thing for Bobby Pendragon. My hero's include (but are not limited to): Jean-Luc Picard, Yoda, JPII, Captain Kirk, Rose Tyler, Amy Pond, and Neville Longbottom.
☼ I love to sing, and do it often and loudly. I'm a typical soprano: loud and proud, terrible at counting, and a little ditsy at times. What can I say! Thats just me (:
☼ I'll be attending Winthrop University next fall, persuing a degree in photography. You probably won't see much of my work on here (unless I'm uber proud of it), but if you would like to see anything just send me a message and I'd be glad to show you some of the peices I've done.
☼ Art, music, nerdy shows/books/movies, amazing family, amazing friends, and a God greater than the imagination can hold.
Welcomed to my semi-charmed kind of life (:

I laughed so hard. It’s so in sync with the song.

I showed this to my mother. She legitly had me play it ten more times and died nine of them. Then my dad, who isn’t into this type of thing, came over to investigate, and HE died. And then he was on the internet all night looking up similar videos. 

Just another night in my household.

A Song for You

(You know who you are (; )

In the morning when I wake
And the sun is coming through,
Oh, you fill my lungs with sweetness,
And you fill my head with you.

Shall I write it in a letter?
Shall I try to get it down?
Oh, you fill my head with pieces
Of a song I can’t get out.

Can I be close to you?
Ooh-oo-oo-ooh, ooh (simile).
Can I be close to you?
Ooh, ooh.

Can I take it to a morning
Where the fields are painted gold
And the trees are filled with memories
Of the feelings never told?

When the evening pulls the sun down,
And the day is almost through,
Oh, the whole world it is sleeping,
But my world is you.

Can I be close to you?
(Ah) ooh (aah), ooh (aah).
Can I be close to you?
(Ah) ooh (aah), ooh (aah).

24!  I still have so much to read holy cow….

I have my loft.

I have my bed set, towels, first aid kit, tool set, and bath set.

I know what classes I’m taking.

I know which professors I want.

I have all my paperwork sent in.

I have one bag packed.

Am I too prepared for this fall?

Have you done tumblrdatinggame(.)com yet? Sincerely, Anonymous

Uh, nope! Don’t know if
I want to know what that is…..and I’m happily taken anyways (;

hey (: i saw what you said to the chat post about gay marriage. i know i didn't write the chat; you are entitled to any opinion you have, and i respect that. i understand what you said, and yes, most people didn't like the marriages such as the situations they listed. But what they're trying to say is if marriage is allowed for situations like those to happen, then people shouldn't mind gay marriages because they're just normal marriages and many ignorant people fail to acknowledge that. xx Sincerely, luxemb0urg

Hi! (:
I know that’s what they meant, and I agree with that point. Personally, I think the government should stay out of that altogether, and the whole situation is ridiculous. What I didn’t agree with was how the post made that point - it used a rather drastic and inaccurate generalization, and I’ve seen that so much on here that I finally just felt like I needed to state my opinion.
Thank you for messaging me about this though! I really love how you’re willing to speak up for what you believe in and help others to understand in such an open and respectful way (:
God bless!

I have the greatest boyfriend ever.

No matter how annoying I’m being, he’s always so patient with me.  I know I bug the heck out of him sometimes, but he always responds with such love and patience.  It’s so inspiring <3  I’m the luckiest girl ever.  

What's wrong with our society.

  • Kim Kardashian: I'd like to marry this dude and spend $10 million dollars on a publicity wedding please oh and then 72 days later I'd like a divorce
  • America: Well sure why not?
  • Britney Spears: I want to get hitched in a chapel in Vegas and have the marriage annulled fifty-five hours later because I didn't know what the hell I was doing
  • America: Whatever you want!
  • Carmen Electra: I want to get married in Vegas to this basketball player and then annul the marriage nine days later cuz we were both drunk lololololololololol
  • America: Okay, sounds like fun!
  • Gay couple: We would like to get married and spend our lives together and possibly adopt unwanted children to give them a good home and -
  • America: WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH YOU IDIOTS THAT IS DISGUSTING AND WRONG YOU DEFILE THE SANCTITY OF MARRIAGE SO GTFO
  • Ummmm............when did America ever say those other marriages were ok? As far as I saw, everyone was complaining about how wrong they were....if you're going to make an argument like this, please get your facts straight and don't just make this stuff up.....

How Common Is Your Birthday?

(via @stiles)

Woo! Less common birthday!

Oh what a shock, born on the most average day of the year and it’s an average amount of popular.

Why is no one born in January??

^Because that’s when everyone is making the babies, apparently….(check out September, nine months later….)

(via romancatholica)

Ok so my ask box is still not working so I’ll answer like this (:

No, anon, I am not.  Sorry :P  Why do you ask?
