This page is basically a 'lil bit about me, and who I am, what makes me the person I am..no biggie. Soooo, read on if you dare!
Bright copper kettles and warm woollen mittens.
Brown paper packages..tied up with string..
These are a few of my favourite things!"
~Favourite Things, Sound of Music~
Ok, ok, I know I am repeating myself, sheesh..I am not yet suffering from memory loss yet..but for those that missed it my name is Ker. And yep, that's all you get. The ones who have a need for my surname have it. And I am single, with no children, except for my pets. I am about 5'6" and weigh around 101 pounds.
Zodiac Sign:
Cancer, but dont make the mistake of thinking Cancer=weak..I'm not.
Lives:
Australia..it's an OK place, I guess. 'Lil quiet for me though, and WAY too hot in Summer. We get up to 105F/40C and occasionally higher. And it kinda sucks cause I love snow. Funny, cause I have spoken to a lot of Americans who would give their right arm to live here..wonder if I can do a swap with them? Or anyone want to offer to adopt me??? I don't eat much..
What I do in my spare time:
Hmm, don't have all that much spare time, really. I do like to read occasionally, go to movies, go out with friends, drinking..ummm, I run every day. And I chat FAR too much.
Fave colours:
Ok, now we are getting into the REALLY boring shit. But, my fave colours are white, 'cause its pure like me (NO more comments from my so-called friends, please, that caused mass trouble last time), any shade of blue, and I like a bit of red and pink occasionally.
Fave TV show:
You can't get me away from the television when my Football team is playing..and I love Dawson's Creek. And Law and Order, and NYPD Blue.
Fave Sport:
Aussie Rules Football..it kicks ass. Nothing like the American Pansy Football..our guys don't wear padding. I absolutely adore my team and won't hear of anyone bad~mouthing them..will protect the Crows to the DEATH!
Fave authors:
Another boring question..deal with it. I read almost anything, really. Hell, if I was really stuck, I would probably read the back of the cornflake packet. But I do love any true crime books, Danielle Steel, and Jackie Collins for a bit of mindless smut. I adore Dean Koontz, Jeffrey Archer and Richard Laymon and my ABSOLUTE favourite is John Grisham..he kicks ASS!
Fave actors/actresses:
OMGGGG, I ADORE the immaculate Brad Pitt. Damn, when he is on TV, I nearly lick the screen! I also love Matt Damon, he is soooo hot, and Denzel Washington. Mmmm, yummy. Actresses? Hmmm..Michelle Pfeiffer is too cool, and Julia Roberts. Meg Ryan is kinda ok, and I absolutely LOATHE Gwyneth Paltrow, the stick insect herself..yucka. I hated her more after seeing the Academy Awards, she looked like the moron she is.
Fave movies:
Dirty Dancing is, and always WILL be, my number one movie. I own it on Video and used to watch it like, once a week. I also love Pretty Woman, Sleepers and Reality Bites. And Meet Joe Black..chick flick, yeah, but hey, I AM a chick! For a female, how can you go past three hours of BRAD?? Shawshank Redemption kicked ass. And Seven was good, except for the little fact it gave me NIGHTMARES! Literally. Oh, and omg, that movie "Dazed and Confused". TFF~talk about LMAO!
Fave music/artists:
I have very eclectic taste in music, but my ABSOLUTE favourite is Belinda Carlisle..God, I love that woman! (No gay jokes please, am talking about her music). I also adore Alanis Morissette, Shania Twain, Blink 182, Nine Inch Nails, Creed, REM, Bryan Adams, Savage Garden, Live, Matchbox 20..ummm I can't think of any others...the CD most in my player at the moment is Train's Drops of Jupiter. I also love some Classical and some country, like Travis Tritt (thanks SO much for corrupting me, Todd!). The only music I REALLY despise is RAP..they left the C off the front of that.
Fave Songs:
M+M's~Blink 182, Mad About You~Belinda, At Your Most Beautiful~REM, Crash and Burn and Lover After Me~Savage, and Crazy for You~Madonna. But I have hundreds of other songs I love, these are just my all time favourites.
Fave drink:
Ummm, lol. I would have to say Cowboy Cocksuckers (Eb knows this). The story is that we went out one night..Web was there too. And I drank..a few, and when I got to 10, Eb dared me to make it to 15..so, ummm, I did. And I didn't even throw them up. For those of you that haven't had them, its like shooters of 3 parts Butterscotch Schnapps and 1 part Bailey's..they are GOOD!
Fave Food:
I LOVE Mexican Food, when I remember to eat, lol. I also love fresh pineapple. I don't eat much junk any more, but show me Oreo's and I am ANYONE'S! I love them so much. And I love Hershey Bars and Haagen Daaz Ice Cream. LOL, and anyone who knows me KNOWS I love pozza!
Addictions:
I love SHOES! I know that's not that unusual, but I mean REALLY love them. I think I have like 70~something pairs. I have far too many, yeah but tough. And I am also SO addicted to perfume. I have tons of it..ummm..lets see..Chloe Narcisse, Gucci Rush, Joop All about Eve and Cool Water Woman (my favourites), Joop Berlin, Wish, Spellbound, White Linen, Knowing, Beautiful, Anais Anais, Lou Lou, Fifth Avenue, Eternity, Contradiction, Obsession, Escape, Volupte, Tresor and Sunflowers...think thats it.. Nooo, I do not wear them all at once, and YES, I know I have a problem, but I cant find a help line for perfume addiction.
I also love Men's Aftershaves..most of all, Cool Water or Joop Original. I also love Jazz. I have been known to smell a guy and chase him to ask what he's wearing.
I was so addicted to chat, but I grew up. Need help yourself? Go to Jerry's. About 90% of the people there will stab you in the back.
Myself in 5 words:
Bitch (the reason for the song on this page..), confident (sometimes only on the exterior), outgoing, giving (to my friends) and funny (when I wanna be).
Loves:
My nephew Jake~he is 11 months old and an absolute STAR! He is soooo gorgeous, I can't believe he is my brother's son..
My family, especially my younger sister~she rocks. Lauren is the best.
My pets~a cat and a dog. They are my surrogate children, even though my cat bugs the hell out of me most of the time.
Travelling~I went to the US in '98, and had the BEST time! I am going back too, so all of you Americans, watch out for the aussie tornado! I would also one day love to get to France.
That certain someone~I don't want to do names here, but he knows who he is. I just wish he realized what I feel for him...
Pet Hates:
*gets up on her soapbox*
Annoying Newbies~if you are new to chat, fine, we were all new once, but DON'T SCROLL THE EMOTES! And don't give me or my friends shit. Trust me, the regs have been here way longer, there are way more of us, with way more brains than you have and you WILL LOSE!
Being hurt~I don't mean by insults..that doesn't hurt, the old sticks and stones thing. But I mean, REALLY hurt..there are a couple of occasions and people that come to mind, but I am not doing specifics here. I am just not going there...If you read my poetry, you will understand the kind of pain I am talking of.
Untrustworthy Friends~I am sure most of you that used to know me know precisely what I am talking about. If you don't, tough. I will however, say this...I have trouble opening up to others and it takes a lot to make me tell stuff about myself. I was foolish enough to trust someone I shouldn't have. She opened her mouth, 'Nuff said.
Hurting kids~In any way..now come on, this I DON'T understand. Children are unable to defend themselves, it's up to us to defend them. Any kind of abuse, be it emotional, physical or sexual just CAN'T be tolerated. And the government need to realise too, and throw the wankers that do it into jail and lock their sorry asses up. Similarly, if you know of someone doing this, and you fail to report it, you are no better than they. Sorry, but I am non~negotiable on this subject.
Animal Cruelty~This I HATE! I am an animal lover, and I can not stand to see any animal in pain. I even hate smacking my cats or dogs when they are naughty. I detest hunting of any sort, and I end up in tears when there is a story of any kind of animal cruelty on TV or in the papers. Some asshole here, just a week ago, killed some penguins that are kind of a landmark on a little island. I was in tears watching the TV news about it. This kinda shit can't be tolerated either, and it's time to do something about it..if you know of someone mistreating animals, REPORT THEIR ASSES!!!
Passions:
I simply love that word...it's one of those words than says much more than mere letters usually do. It implies so much, and its a very vibrant and strong word.
Love is a passion of mine, although sometimes, I really doubt it's existence. Occasionally I get into a "mood" where I think LOVE was invented by Hallmark to sell greeting cards. But don't get me wrong..I am not in love with the IDEA of being in love. I am for the most part happy being single. But y'know, sometimes, there are things that you want to share with that someone special. And the feelings that being loved brings out in you..that grin that won't go, the tears that aren't sad tears..there is nothing better. The feeling of finding that one special person, that soul~mate to share your life with. I am a HUGE believer in Destiny, Fate. I believe our lives are mapped out for us, and it's our job to find our way around the curve balls that life throws at us.
Writing is my other greatest passion..I love to write. Most of my writing is poetry, but I am also writing a novel. Hopefully, it will get published sometime. I have been writing for longer than I remember. Maybe I was born with a pen in my hand, who knows? Most of my poems are centred on love, but I have a few on other subjects. I write poems on things that affect me, and most often on PEOPLE that affect me. My poem "Fear" for example, greatly affected me. It is based on the Columbine Killings in Colorado. I recall watching it on the news, and I picked up a pen and paper, and the next thing I knew, I had written that poem. It was the first poem I had ever written like that and it was strange.
Other poems like "Graveside Memories" were written when friends died. Anything that touches me, gets put on paper. Anyone that makes it to my heart, which isn't common, is also put on paper. And most of the time, I don't tell the people who they are written for that I wrote it for them. But, if you know me, you know that I wrote that poem with you in mind.
**Just a special note for someone who means more to me than anyone I'd ever known, someone I have an amazing passion for...**
You've overlooked a lot for me, and don't think I don't appreciate it. I appreciate it every moment of every day. We've been through a lot, and yet, here we are, months and months down the track and you're STILL there! I guess I finally realize that you're here because you want to be. I'm not sure what to say to you, but your words sum it up best..."There will never be anyone in your lifetime that will love every part of you as much as I do."
"Bitch".
