Katie, My Guilt-Tripping Amiga
Created | Updated Jan 28, 2002
My friend Katie is kind of a strange girl.
Who am I kidding?
This is one strange girl.
Even though I specifically said that the order I was writing things up for my friends was the order in my photo album, I somehow managed to offend Katie, who quite frankly is deeply in my debt because she once killed my queen with her pawn. Honestly. What more could she possibly ask?
Hence the page.
A Short Bio
Interestingly enough, Katie feels that she’s not too fascinating. I believe her exact words were, ”There’s not enough to me to fill a web page.”. To which I said, fellow humans, ”Ha!” I said. ”Them’s fightin’ words!” I said. Well, maybe I didn’t say that specifically, but I think we all get the point.
Katie’s a sophomore at CU doing International Affairs. She’s not exactly sure what she wants to do, which for some weird reason tends to make her and some other friends of mine nervous. However, she’s given some thought to the Peace Corps. I know all about the Peace Corps because I’ve studied them exhaustively.
Let’s be serious. I picked up a free copy of their promotional testimonial, and that’s about it.
Etceteras
Katie's got some interesting and varied leanings into the wild wild world of the mixed media.
Take her reading preference, for example. Here's a girl who

Movies and TV are, of course, a college student's best friend. Katie isn't exactly a couch potato...but she's got her weaknesses, not least of which is M*A*S*H. The 4077 holds a special place in her heart. The TV series had a good long run until people basically realized it was Alan Alda's show and started pursuing other venues. It was based off of the movie by the same name, of course, which you can research from the safe confines of the Internet Movie Database.
I asked Katie to send me some of her bookmarked websites in order to make this site reflect the real her. Unfortunately that proved impossible without some truly creepy special effects. But the websites remain. thewax.com
is a bizarre little site that contains, amongst other weird things, a fish in a tank that you can freeze, boil, subject to harassment by felines, etceteras. No less weird is The Big Green Button. The Big Green Button is...well, frankly, a big, green button.
I told you she was strange.
