Your Neighborhood Kat

• Kat E.

Kate is beautiful, found in herself wonder. I love her room it its reflection of her, i feel like in physcial space i can pick her right up. A Kate letter makes my day... *huggs and kisses* -Dawn

WHAT???? I haven't writen on here yet??? *knocks self on the head* Kat is one of the coolest people I know. Her photography compares to that of no ones and she is awsome at the guitar. Her poetry is beautiful and she is sososo much fun to dance with. She's easy to talk to and I always feel like she truly cares what's happening in my life. She's huggable and spiffy and did I say gorgeous? She's gorgeous! And I should have talked to her at camp a lot more than I did. Love you Kat! I lovelovelovelovelove you and I always will. mwah! ~Franny~

I love Kat. She looks great in my hat! She's a fabulous photographer and the best dirty dancing partner anyone could ask for. She's beautiful inside, outside, upside down...i miss her I miss her I miss her and guess what? I miss her! -Bo

Kat is an incredible person. She's an awesome writer, and a fantastic photgrapher, and she's there to talk to. Even if you don't really talk about anything, she's nice to be around. She has a wonderful personality, she's really nice and kind and caring, and beautiful. Have I said beautiful yet? If I haven't, I need to say it about a billion more times. She is so stunningly gorgeous that words really can't do her justice. And she can play guitar... really, really well. She's amazing. I love you, Kat.

There's no way I could possibly express how much Kate means to me. She's my best friend in the whole wide world, and I love her more than words or thought. I love her more than life, and I couldn't say that for anyone else, as much as I may love them. I can tell her anything, and I eventually tend to tell her everything because I can't keep secrets from her. She's the only person I can be completely myself with. She has the best laugh and the best smile and the best way of expressing her thoughts. She's so smart and brave and beautiful and deserving and trustworthy and if this world were just and fair, she would have every happiness in existance and no sadness or pain ever. I want for us to be old ladies with blue and pink hair, crocheting barbie clothes for our ancient barbies and laughing over our lives together. Kate is Definition Beauty. I love you. ~Jennyrose

Kate is... whoa, so wise. I love her art, I beg borrow and steal bits of it off other people untill i get around to getting some of it from her myself. She is going to do amazing things with her life, i just kinda wanna sit by and watch and clap when i can, and dance around with her when times are good and bad. My favorite memory of you is the "nice shoes" comment in corvallis. fly on in all you do! -Dawn

So incredibly articulate and open and skillful at putting her thoughts and feelings into words and onto paper. Beautiful, and inspiring, and easy to love. ~tessa

wildpassion eyes and just as much life INSIDE. articulate and unique, she makes me want to smile with her and feel her life beat always. ~summer

Yay for Kate! What I really love about her is that when you ask Kate something, you are going to get the truth, all of the truth, straight, no lying or covering anything up. I love that...I don't ever have to try to second guess her. (big hug to Kate!!) -Robyn

Kate has a really nice smile. I want to bottle it and keep some. She listens well to other people and she is just sweet all over! Fuzzhead

Intelligent, creative, adorable, a driven writer, an amazing artist, a music lover, an aspiring guitarist, an avid reader and one of my end-all-closest friends for what seems has been forever, she has taught me more about life then I could hope to describe. A beautiful person upside-down inside-out and through. Kat, you are a true gift in my life. ~Lotus~

Kate is amazing! I am delighted to have had the joy of meeting her. She has raw guts which I admire so much, and style and edge. Kate is brave, and she drinks tea which means I approve and is a nice to be around. Kate survived :)) having a shaved head and so I'm proud. :0) *Mother Shippy*

Kate gives great hugs and kisses. She also has this wonderful energy that has a magnetic effect on me. Literally. - Naela

Kate is cute, friendly, interesting, sincere and almost angelic. It is of little wonder that everyone loves her so much. - Liam

Kate is such a fastinating person. I shall have to speak to her more privately one day in the nearer future. ~ Wolfgang

... Cuddly and oh-so-huggable. She's also adorable! Especially with her newely-fuzzy head. Short hair really suits her very well indeed! She gives awesome massages (not too hard, not too light), and she communicates very well. She writes wonderfully deep-yet-entertaining emails (not an easy balance to strike!), and is endlessly patient with the email impaired. She drew me a truely beautiful (self?) portrait for my birthday. It's gorgeous! I posted it up on my bedroom door so I see it every time I exit my room. Samantha

Ah, Katrina....:) :) I just talked to her on the candy-green phone coupla days ago. She is someone who I not only love but like to hang out with for long leisurely stretches of time. (Especially when bouncing a rubber ball...whether in the palace of fine arts or in my driveway or a cafeeven when it gets lost under the cooler & can't be recovered. ;) ) We can get hysterically amused over random things, like Worms. I've had a lot of fun times with her, getting pennies squished & staying up late & reading Sherlock Holmes & skipping through airports at high speed & talking about dwogs & Everything. She does beautiful comix with neat stories behind them which leaves me anxious to hear more when unfinished. She has a cute smile, especially when she's laughing disbeleivingly about something. She is a slinkster beautiful girl. She looks great in faerie wings. If she asks me how I'm doing I can give her an honest reply. She writes stories & poetry I will re-read & that will linger in my head after I've read them. Kate rocks!!!!! ~~Rosie

Kat is for real. She picks her path and goes. Just watch her moving smoothly forward, doing what she loves, and you'll see that this is no rehearsal- she's really doing it. whatever the project, Kat immerses herself- be it music, art, writing, or life in general, she will put her best into it until it is done (Would that I could find in myself even a fraction of her dedication!). At the same time, though, she keeps her eye on the horizon, and when another undertaking calls, she does not hesitate to change focus. I love to read her writing- it is so clear, filled with just the right images. It's like watching someone tell a story and seeing their face and their hands and hearing the nuances of their voice. I can't think of anyone who can convey all of that on paper quite as well as Kat does. Her photos are similarly astounding- They let the soul of the subject show through,always. I consider myself lucky to have a few of them on my wall, where I can feel the people in them looking out at me. There's more to tell, but the best way to learn it is to get to know her yourself- there's no way to fit it all on a screen. Love and quiet thoughts, Chris B.

Katelet is just too cool. She writes songs and poetry, strums her guitar, draws with an awesomely unique style, and she is just plain as sweet and sincere as they come. I'm so glad I know her! ~Adam D.

Kate is the rich ground, water water running over rocks, black-and-white Madonna pictures. She is bluntly-drawn punk-rock girls, an attic trunk of old collages, purple and black and listening and quietness. She is a nymph sitting under moonlight in the night, the bark of an orchard tree, thinking... dreaming... -wanderlust

I think Kate might be the coolest person I've found on this planet. And there's some pretty tough competition ;) She's filled with joy and beauty and love and talent and caring and her art is something I followed all the way from Ryland's chalkboard in Wisconsin and...I'm just in awe of her...I can still see her smile shining and feel her soft hands clasped around mine and hear her singing Cranberries...Jenny

Ya'll'd better know Kat. Because whitedust mystery follows her around and her smile seduces a nation. Because her laugh explodes into thousands of pieces and soaks into the walls to stay forever. Because her black hair shines and her green eyes flash and absorb and narrow. Because her photographs capture moments of love and anger and sadness. Because she's more than she appears. Because she's beautiful. Ya'll'd better know Kat.

I can never keep track of all the cool things you do, and I can't even come close to keeping track of all the cool things you are. Love and wonder and art sprays out from you like a wet dog shaking itself. You splatter me with happiness and hope every time we meet. Charlie

Kate makes me smile every single time I talk and see her. She's silly, cute, fun, and yet remarkably deep. She is beautiful. -Zen

Kat is so amazingly awesome. There is so much about her that's incredible! She's absolutely sweet and gorgeous and intelligent and talented. She's just got this wonderful feeling about her, of compassion, of love. If I'm feeling down, I always feel so much better when I talk to her on IRC. She's amazingly cute and funny and sexy, and if only I were bi, I would have a huge full-blown romantic obsesson with her!! And we ROCK at passing games Kat!! *high fives* Kat is also an incredible musician, and it's so awesome and inspiring to hear the songs that she wrote herself. I love you! ~Becky~

Kate... smiles broadly Kate is far too amazing. She spreads this incredibly comforting energy around and makes me feel very comfortable and satisfied when I'm around her. She makes me appreciate very small and simple things, like stealing cinnamon-flavored jelly beans and passing a pomagranate back and forth. She also thwaps me with very little provocation, but I can forgive that. grin And she writes so well. I love you, Kate. -Mitchell

Kat makes me want to get to know her better. She takes a long time and some effort to get to open up, but it's worth the effort. She is a reluctant blossom...taking her time to bloom fully, but when she finally opens up all the way, she will be a very beutiful bloom, both in a physical and spiritual/ mental sense. -Lorin
