Hello there!  I am Kate!
Welcome to my profile! *hands a cup of tea and a cookie while offering a seat*
Yes yes... well I am very glad that you have decided to stop by!
I am not going to talk myself up (well.. not too much! ) or talk myself down (I find that is never pleasant to read) Instead I will give you a little brief glimpse into my life. I am an 18 year old girl from Canada who gets lonely very easy and as a result has come to this wonderful place I like to call “ IP” for  some friends. I love to socialise and to talk to people... all the time. Since this is not always possible to do in person I have found that you guys (My lovely penpals! And to be penpals!) have been able to wonderfully fill this need in my life.
I will try to not make this intro too long so yeah... read my lists and the rest of my profile if you please, and then after I would love it for you to send me message... yes yes.. so happy reading!


Here is a list of things about me!

   optimistic about it, he he)

I would like to talk to someone closeish to my age. It does not really matter, I will talk to almost any one. I am looking for some female penpals in particular at the moment. :)

I am also going backpacking in Europe spring of 2010.. so travel tips from people who have done it before or live there would be great! I am not so sure of all the places I will go.. but if you have any great cities/towns​ you found I would love to hear about them :D (I am going with delladee/Ang​eline)

I love getting snail mail letters.. I am all good with emails, wall posts, private messages, sms, and instant messenger also but there is something special about snail mail..so in saying all of that. It would be really nice to be able to get a letter from someone. (I have checked my mail box every day for the past two years and almost never get letters... sad *makes a sad face in hope of some poor pal taking pity on me and sending a letter* he he he)

Oh and you may add me to msn if you would like ... kate.1234@l​ive.ca (laptop) or kate_123@li​ve.ca (mobile)

My top five song on my playlist right now are *checks*  (err.. most of these are because of the memories attached to them.. not because I like the songs that much) littlest things by lily Allen, In this City by Iglu and Hartly, dancing in the moon light by toploader, Fluorescent Adolescent by the arctic monkeys, and (Ik zen van) Stabroek by Fixkes.

I will read anything. I like both classic and new. Fiction and non-fiction.​ If there is nothing for me to read.. I will read the dictionary.
