I've written a one-shot called Reasons, please everyone go read and review it!

I'm called Katie, am fourteen and am English. I have only ever been compared to (in looks) my mum, my great-grandma, a seventies cartoon with large purple hair and Jaws from one of the James Bond films. I got rather annoyed with my Dad for the last one. I love reading and writing, paticularly fanfics (hence me being on this site). I play the clarinet (not very well though) and have done for nearly years. I'm in Jazz band and girls chamber choir at school. I am exceedingly bad at being in the choir but it doesn't matter. I know I'm not good, everyone else knows I'm not good, so it's all happy! Kind of. I do a swimming and life saving course for which I'm much better at the first aid than the timed swimming (I am incredibly slow). I'm bad at sports in general, ah well, who cares?

I am good at academic stuff though which I console myself with. I love history and science. thankfully I have great teachers for both (other than my physics teacher but I won't mention him). I'm going to fail my maths GCSE which is not good. Why I'm in top set I do not know. It's a mystery. I think my last test results decided it would be funny to lie about my ability. On a happier note, I am part of a theatre group but we're not doing any more shows until the summer (they may be hard work but I love doing them!)

I like rambling and ramble more than normal when I'm bored. I was rather bored when I started writing this.

Copy 'n' pastes:

If you have ever fallen up the stairs copy this into your profile.

If you have ever pushed on a door that said pull or the vise versa copy this into your profile.

If you have ever been so obsessed with something that now everyone is scared of you because of its effects copy this into your profile.

If you have ever had a mad laughing fit for absolutely no reason, copy and paste this into your profile.

Weird is good, strange is bad, and odd is when you don't know which to call someone. If weird is the same as different, which is the same as unique, then weird is good. If you are weird and proud of it, copy this onto your profile!

If you have ever tripped over your own feet, copy and paste this into your profile

If you have ever said something that has nothing to do with the current conversation, copy and paste this into your profile

Note: If jemima-the-puddleduck ever posts anything I suggests you go read it! She's very good at writing but I don't know if she'll ever post anything.
