Hi. My real name isn't Jadeyn Kate, or Jadeyn, or Kate. I got the name from a game some friends and I used to play when we were little.

Anyway, to anyone who's reading my story, I thank you. To anyone who isn't and is just roaming around this site aimlessly (believe me, I've been there) you should probably scroll on down there and check it out. I can't promise any Shakespeare or profoundly enlightening piece of literature BUT I CAN promise you that I enjoyed writing it very much and I hope that it shows.

Some things about me:

I...

love Hawaiian pizza.

wish I was naturally outgoing, but I'm just not.

like to think that I'm funny.

lie but I don't pretend.

am actually pretty good at math.

would move to New Zealand in a heartbeat if it wasn't so far away.

couldn't draw anything you asked me to.

think Bittersweet Symphony is one of the most beautiful songs of the past two decades, and one of the most honest.

try to see the best in people, but sometimes my impatience gets the better of me.

listen to music constantly.

love the smell outside before it begins to rain.

love the smell outside after it rains.

have an affinity for anyone who can tell a nice, corny joke.

own a penguin suit.

wrote my first story when I was in fourth grade. It had time travel. It took place in a library. It was about time travel in a library. It's embarrassing to look back on.

still don't understand why curiosity could kill a cat, and why satisfaction could bring it back.

am a feminist.

would rather the world be in full sun or absolute downpour before anything in between.

am fascinated by the lives of dreary suburbans.

hate getting my nails painted.

would love to learn how to swing dance.

don't know what else to say.
