Odds and Ends.

I am Kaitlin. (I can't use chopsticks, whistle, or wink. I still write letters. I once knew pi to 37 significant figures. Yes, I am a nerd/geek/dork. I dislike wearing shoes. It takes me longer than it should to read analogue clocks. I complain about the fact that I complain too much. I prefer Coke to Pepsi, books to magazines, night to day, chocolate to vanilla, cats to dogs, and jeans to shorts. I am narcissistic. I think you should learn Esperanto. I wish life were a musical.)
