Intro
Well, there's not much to say... My name is Katie, obviously, and I am 24. I was born and raised in Tennesse and in May 2006 I received a BS degree in Information Technology. I still don't know what I want to do, but I am leaning towards web development. I love to code HTML, CSS, and even PHP. I love animals (except snakes) and I live with my parents out in the country. I am extremely shy in real life... until I get to know people... and that usually takes a while. I am unemployed. I'm a sister and an aunt. Bowling is my only sport.... I'm lazy. :) Hm. Yep. I think that's it...
Hobbies
A few years ago I was taught how to make costumes... mainly for our local Renaissance Festival. I know how to make flat caps, bodices, chemises, cloaks, bloomers, and skirts. I actually got into making costumes because my cousin was a cast member of the 2003 TN festival. I went with her for a fitting, and shortly after I began taking lessons. I like to crochet, knit, cross stitch, make websites (typing all HTML by hand in notepad), and go bowling. My high score is 188! I bowled on the Riverdale HS team my senior year. Not that I'm good at it or anything! lol It was one of the only things I participated in during high school. I love to collect things as well... any movies with Adam Sandler, Ben Stiller, Owen Wilson, and Edward Norton (says a lot about my sense of humor, huh?), business cards, pens with business names on them, colorful gel pens, three-ring binders, markers, crochet patterns, stickers, crochet needles, yarn... oh, there's so much more! I'm obsessed with collecting things and I never like to throw any of it away.
Pets
I have four three chihuahuas that live inside. My poor baby Chi Chi passed away. I also have a terrier mix that lives inside now. As of April 28th, 2008, I have six dogs that run around outside. One is full black lab and the rest are lab mixes. I have five rats and eight spiny mice, and I also have four painted jellybean parrotfish.
My Sites
The first site I ever created on my own was Paddy & Percy's Imaginary Home. Parts of it, such as the background, are gone for some reason... I don't work on it anymore. I entered it into TSF and I remained in various competitions for several years. The next site I created was Locomotor Mortis, but it is no longer up... I had a problem with my host. And this is my new site! Hope you like it!
My Online "Jobs"
As of April 28, 2008, I am co-owner of the Seven.Seas tcg (a tcg about Pirates of the Caribbean) and Dream Hollow (a PSP yahoo group).

I'm no longer staff in WOSIB.
I became a team leader for the Disney Spirits at S2S on April 29, 2003, but the comp shut down in late 2005 or early 2006... I can't remember. I also managed the birthday pages and Pets Corner at S2S, and I was Head Spirit Duster. I was the team leader for the Gypsies, Tramps, and Thieves and the Survivors at BOAT, and I also managed the VE board. These positions lasted for quite some time, but I had to eventually leave due to school. The comp has since been shut down. I was the team leader for Country Hearts at GSC. This position didn't last very long and the comp has since been shut down. I was a part-time card maker at Divinitas - an online trading card game, then I became a co-leader, but things didn't work out and the TCG was shut down. (I hope you don't think this means I am unreliable. This is not the case. These positions ended for other reasons... such as the site being shut down... or so I could focus on school.) I became head of the Snail Mail Garden at WOSIB on April 19, 2005. I am also Assistant Head of the Sig Tags Garden and an Assistant in the Recipes Garden. WOSIB is a wonderful group and I am so glad they consider me worthy enough of to help with their gardens.
