Get hugs of your own


Ha. But I am so cool.

But I made a bio on myspace, and I'm going to splice it in here (9/30/06) [Remember this is directly from myspace so it might not make sense in this context but heck no I'm not editing it]:

Hello, my name is Katarina, and I live in Fremont, CA and I'm a Junior! at Mission San Jose High School.

... but hopefully you already knew that since this profile is set on private.

But I still like cramming this section with useless tidbits about myself, so...

I used to do cheerleading during freshman and sophomore years. Sometimes I miss it so badly it like hurts. BUT it is my junior year and cheerleading was taking WAYY too much time out of my schedule, so.. I stopped. :( I'm still upset that I stopped. Being a cheerleader really helped define who I am... I'm way more extroverted, loud, and excited about things thanks to cheer. And, of course, I really love cheering.

Actually, I've stopped a lot of things... I used to do dance (ballet, pointe, jazz, lyrical, "hip hop"). Annnd so why am I beginning a list of extracurriculars? Because these are totally what makes up who I am. So allow me to continue. Actually, since you're just reading this, you have no choice. Hehe. But anyway, dance totally disciplined me... like about getting to places EARLY, ALWAYS working (you never stood around, even when waiting in line, you at least stretched), and about what absolute dedication is. (But after almost 2 years, it's starting to wear off). The other thing about dance is that since we had to basically change really fast completely naked (without underwear) during competitions, I totally lost my sense of shame. So sometimes people will be like "dude... your skirt is SO short" and I'll be like, "uh, it is?!" So I guess sometimes I end up looking slutty but it really isn't on purpose. It's like... I have no idea what's revealing and what's not since I grew up in figure skating and dance costumes (the latter is always akin to a stripper's outfit. It's disgusting what they do to little girls). But dance also totally killed any self-esteem that I had. Yoko is... nevermind. I promised my mother and myself I would stop swearing.

I used to figure skate too. Like seriously. I'd wake up at 4:30 and drive down to San Jose/SanFran and then drive back to school EVERY weekday - this explains a lot about me, like why I like the cold and why I like mornings. And then of course I used to do the childhood mainstays, piano/other instruments and art lessons and gymnastics, etc. etc.

The only "extracurricular" that I have now is Interact, which I'm... basically crazy about. And then I also have Green Club and Model UN. Yay for clubs! I HEART clubs!

By the way. This is going to get off on a really wierd tangent soon. Just as a warning. Because now I will tell you random things about myself. I sing way too much, but usually when I'm home. I sing really loud then. Sometimes I end up singing to the radio when I'm in someone's car and I don't realize it for a long time. Then, I do, and it's embarassing.

I often look at other short people and pity how short they are. Then I realize that they are at least 4 inches taller than me.

I really dislike pants, especially jeans. They're just so... restricting. Usually by about 3 or 4 hours into wearing them, I just want to...take them off. I don't understand why girls are like "Heehee! My comfy weekend clothes are hoodies and jeans!" EW! I HATE JEANS!

...um, that's why I'm always wearing skirts, even in the dead of winter. And like I said before, I really like the cold, so stop asking me if I am. ANOTHER thing people have to stop telling me is how much I look like my sister! ARGH! Ever since she started going to Mission, an average of 2 people EVERY DAY come to me and tell me that a)I look like her or b)they said hi to her but she never responded and then they realized that she was she and not me and omgggg don't you two look alike? AUGH IT KILLS ME INSIDE.

I've been a dietary vegan since August 2, 2006! Which hasn't been long, but please don't laugh at me and think that this is a teen fad thing. :(. Because I really do believe in this. And I really do plan on being at least vegetarian for the rest of my life. And this gets a special place in my profile because like I said... it's something I really believe in. Except I hope that I don't get obnoxious about it and start trying to convert anyone. If I do that, please slap me. Okay. That was my section on veganism.

...so yeah, I'm a pretty green person. If I ever see you littering or throwing away something recyclable when there's a recyclable bin RIGHT THERE, I will hold a grudge against you for a very, very long time. ... continuing on my veganism, I have to add a little note in here that I find it very hypocritical for people to do "aww poor puppy!" and then eat meat. But I wear leather shoes, so I'm a hypocrite myself...

I really liked the Power to the Peaceful festival I went to in SF. It was crazy... I want to be a hippie like them, but without the pot. I'm REALLY against drug use. If I find out you've been doing drugs, like even drinking alcohol, you lose a LOT of respect in my eyes.

Going off on another topic... I walk a LOT. I'll walk anywhere within a five-mile radius. So look out for me on the street! I might be coming to a sidewalk near you ;).

While walking, I encounter lots of people. Sometimes they would say "good morning" to me and it made me feel soooo good. So now, I tend to say "Hello" and "Good morning" to a lot of people I walk past. Except... a couple of seriously uncomfortable incidents with middle-aged men has caused me to make a prejudice against them and I tend not to say "good morning" to them anymore. I feel bad because it's not like ALL of them are perverts but I feel like I can't say hi to them anymore.

CONTACT ME:
Facebook amuses me because during the friend confirmation process, I get to say that I lived in toilets with or hooked up with a multitude of people. And so yes, I do have one.
I also have a livejournal which I update like every two weeks... www.livejournal.com/~leavemeakiss.
I ALSO have a new AIM screenname - Katarina Loves (cause that's what I do!). I stopped using AIM a LONG time ago because you have to leave your computer on and it's such a waste of energy, but I'm trying to readdict myself to it... I promise to try to go on at least twice a week! But keep in mind... that's TRY... T to the R to the Y.
Best bet is to e-mail me at katarina.makmuri@gmail.com. (Yes I used to have katarinamakmuri@gmail.com but then I got jealous of all those people with periods in their addresses).
Note: I really don't go on myspace much. Kind of. Yeah, sometimes it'll be like a month and I'll just be internet-less. So. Yeah.

DUDE!! This is hella long! Whatevs. Consider it a biography. And I still have more random things to say...
