You know those bottles with the labels on them that say Do Not Take Internally? Yeah, well. I can't help it. I take everything internally.

Just Plain Kate

So it's been nine days since i've last written. I thought I'd be posting every day. But after a long day of school and work, I'd log onto Taken Internally feeling absolutely drained. I had no brilliant pieces of information to share with the world....all I wanted was to sleep, and to tell somebody about my latest school problems. I couldn't put words into meaningful, profound little tidbits to inspire the world with, I couldn't even begin to sort out the random billion feelings inside of me.
Kate is just a normal girl. She has nothing exceptional to share with the world. Kate doesn't have well-planned lectures every night. Most nights, she doesn't even understand herself.

This revelation was rather dissapointing at first. I'd somehow hoped that becoming Kate would make me a more prolific and talented writer. Obviously, that hasn't happened. Kate isn't some genius inside me waiting to be unleashed-Kate is just me. All me.

And so, here I am. I will share my little thoughts. The ones I know aren't perfectly written. I'll let everyone know that I'm too involved in thinking about Sean's muscles to think of something profound. Hey, that's me.

From here on out, welcome to Just Plain Kate. She's got no agenda, she's not a good poet, she's not that cool. She has lots on her mind, and she's going to let you know.
That's my new goal, for Kate to be a girl that you can really get to know. Maybe you'll come to care for her. Maybe you'll relate to my mind, and maybe you'll find a new friend in Kate. I hope so. Because as much as I'd like to be an impressive JD Salinger or Tolstoy, I can't be anything but Just Plain Kate.

I like Just Plain Kate a lot.
And sometimes I'm too involved in thinking about Sean's eyes to think of a profound response.
We shall get along perfectly! =D
