Hello, I'm Katie. I am a 20 year old student at Christopher Newport University in Newport News, VA. I am working towards my B.A. in Political Science and American Studies. I am employed by Rita's Ice while at school and Hot Topic while at home in Fredericksburg, VA. I took a long break from graphic/web design and blogging, but I suppose I have returned. Please add me if any of the interests below coincide with your own. Since I haven't been around LiveJournal in a while, my friends list is seriously lacking. I would love to meet you!

"There is, though I do not know how there is or why there is, a sense of infinite peace and protection in the glittering hosts of heaven. There it must be, I think, in the vast and eternal laws of matter, and not in the daily cares and sins and troubles of men, that whatever is more than animal within us must find its solace and its hope. I hope, or I could not live." - The Island of Dr. Moreau by H.G. Wells
