about me

Practically imperfect in every way. Start with a lot of silliness. Mix in some insecurities and a handful of awkwardness. Add a pound of naivety, innocence, and child-like wonderings. Blend well. Half-bake and top off with a sprinkle of imagination and dollop of dreams. It’s the recipe for me!

  • "Moral of the story: Do not look at the gap. The gap is the mind-killer. Remember how Wile E. Coyote never fell down until he saw the chasm? It’s just like that." --Taylor "Tei" Lindstrom, Rogue Ink

dumbass quote

  • "I think we have come to find out that the Education system, run by Liberal Hippies that really couldn't find any other job that allowed them so much time off, the ability to do drugs, and to spout their rhetoric is alive and well. It is teaching out kids things like 'Abortion is Good,' 'Government is Bad.' We have educators that, for the most part, don't teach to the subject, they teach to their beliefs. It is really sad, and even sadder when you see highly intelligent children buying into it." --Kelli

Single White Female

September 30, 2005

There’s a girl in one of my classes that I eat lunch with sometimes. She was in my jewelry class last fall, then in my textiles class the following winter semester. Now she’s in my ceramics class. When I first met her, she had shoulder length hair. During that semester, she cut it short and I complimented her on it. She told me, “I cut it because of you.” Apparently, she liked my short haircut, so she decided to get something similar. I thought that was kinda neat.

When we had textiles together, I sort of took her under my wing and we became friends. At some point our conversations led to career goals, and I learned that her goal was to get married and have children. College was just something to do until then. She learned that I was married with children, and not working. It was her ideal lifestyle and she started saying, “I want to be you.” Not, “I want the same life you have” or even “I want your life” but “I WANT TO BE YOU.” And it was cute. At first.

Fast forward to now. I’ve been growing my hair out for my sister’s wedding next May. She noticed it looked longer and I explained the wedding thing to her. She told me that she too has been growing her hair out. For a wedding. In May.

Okay… That could be a coincidence. Lots of people get married in May and lots of women grow their hair out for the wedding. Right?

She missed class on Monday because she was sick. When she returned to class on Wednesday, I noticed she had a new hair color. Take a guess. Yeah. It’s now the same color as mine. I have no problem with anyone cutting and coloring their hair to look like mine. Afterall, imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, right? The thing that concerns me is that she keeps saying, “I want to be you.”

I can kind of understand where she’s coming from, but if sometime in my future something seems not right with me, would someone please check into that?

    This post is equal parts creep and amusing. You’ll have to keep us posted on this one.

    Yeah, that is rather concerning. Take care, Kerrie!

    Are you sure she didn’t say, “I want to do you.” … might want to verify that with her.

It’s the spark of an idea that hits me unexpectedly. It’s the silly wonderings I have after a whirlwind of thoughts. It’s about creativity, inspiration, and imagination. But sometimes, it’s just about eating noodles.
