Hi!

I'm going to assume that I'm not talking to myself, which I grant you is terribly presumptuous, but my ego couldn't bear the alternative.

So, as this is my first post, let me introduce myself. My name is Kate, I live in the Metro DC area and I am a nobody. Like millions of nobodies around the world, I have a mid-level, wage-slave job and will probably always have a mid-level, wage-slave job. I'm neither a genious, nor mentally-deficient (although I sure some of you will disagree with the latter). At times I'm quite calm and sensical and at others I'm an emotional moron. I'm human, so sue me!

Also like millions of of nobodies around the world, I have opinions about pretty much everything. This is my chance to get them beyond my own, admittedly-limited head.

I am also fat, as you can see from picture. Until recently, I felt guilty and apologetic about my weight. I bought into all the "it's your own fault you're fat" propaganda. Not any more. If you don't like fat people, fine, just leave me and others of my ilk alone. We won't bother you if you don't bother us, but don't expect us to buy into your world view any more than you want to buy into ours.

So... Thanks for stopping by and I hope to see you again.

Hugs and kisses,
Kate
