Me, In General

If you're really looking to know more about me, I sincerely apologize that I can not give you anything more than telling you not to take this at face value. In fact, don't take anything at face value. The world and the people in it are full of metaphors and hidden meaning. Just like you, I don't know where I'm going or who I am, but I write. I write and I write and sometimes I even try to speak to make sense of everything around me.
So, hi. I'm Kaitlyn.

I'm 14. I have a lot to learn, and won't pretend I don't, but I do know I've been through quite a bit already. You might call me a G R E E N E R or a [hippie]. Go ahead. I'm a vegetarian. But I do not plan on shoving it in your face or forcing a carrot down your throat so unclench your jaw, quit rolling your eyes, and stop with the defensiveness. I've been writing constantly ever since I knew how. I've been swimming since I was 5. Reading costantly since I learned how, I'm a [b o o k w o r m] and love.it.

Other things that are wonderfully fabulous include black nail polish, leggings, The Red Jumpsuit Apparatus, My Chemical Romance, Nightmare of You, Less Than Jake, OctoberFall, Atreyu, Korn, August Burns Red, Fall Out Boy, music in general, dancing, candals, Gerard Way, sidewalks, mosh pits, my camera, && good books.

Anyway.

[[I'm the girl who wears a Hot Topic skirt one day & jeans the next, wipes black eyeliner everywhere && a l w a y s wakes up with smeared makeup]]

I never go without nailpolish [except when im feeling sick] & my nails are stained from all the black. I rock the "I.forgot.to.wash.my.hair,,woke.up&threw.on.this.hoody" look like it's nobody's business. I wear a peace sign around my neck & a skull on my heart. Odd/unpredicted side effects always seem to find me;; I'll walk around in a daze from being put on too many painkillers & every once in a while I'll lapse into muscle-relaxer mode. [[Random&&unnecessary facts about myself are my specialty.]]

"Nothing is sacred. Doubt--in everything--is absolutely essential. Everything, no matter how great, how fundamental, how beautiful, or important it is, must be questioned.
It's only when people believe that their beliefs are above questioning, that their beliefs alone are beyond all doubt, that they can be as truly horrible as we all know they can be. Belief is the force behind every evil mankind has ever done. You can't find one truly evil act in human history that was not based on belief--and the stronger their belief, the more evil human beings can be."
