Favorite Book(s)

I read constantly... So I could never choose just one book that is my favorite. Can I ever?? But seriously, give me $100 and I will probably spend it on books. So my favorites are as follows...

Jane Eyre~ I read this in high school in a classic novel class. and i was so surprised by how much i liked this book.






The Secret Life of Bees~ Loved it. Probably my favorite novel. Can't wait til the movie comes out because it looks like a really good cast. Sue Monk Kidd is a great writer and I love her other books as well. She reminds me alot of Barbara Kingsolver, another one of my favorite authors.









The Fountainhead~ Very interesting philosophy on art and architechture. It was one of those books i had to force myself to keep reading through but after I was done I was really glad I had read it and actually enjoyed. This summer I tried reading Atlas Shrugged but it is kinda hard to read while you are also trying to make sure the 2 girls you are watching don't eat too much candy and wear their helmets.






The Learners~ Definitely my favorite designed book. Love this book. I was so excited when i found out Chip Kidd was coming out with a new book because i loved The Cheese Monkeys as well. I mean.. its not the best read ever. But it is one of my favorite books. It is the only one that i have at school with me out of these... Sometimes I wish Chip Kidd wouldnt promote himself so much but alas tis who he is. As a design student I find what he has to say about form and content and the process hilarious and intriguing.

Favorite Memory

My favorite memory. I don't know if I can pinpoint one from my mind and say yeah. Here it is. This is it and this is exactly what happened and this is why I love it and will never forget it. I think I go more on feelings. There are times that make me feel a certain way. Like when I drove home from Montserrat with my Dad many times and had good conversations or how I felt when I met my favorite band. Because those are good memories, but I couldn't tell you if they are my favorite. But I do remember what they felt like, but not the specifics of why they are good.
After 20 years I feel as though I should be able to pick at least 5 definite ones out and say "yeah! these were great!" But I can't. I think one of my favorite times was when my parents took me to New York City while my sister was in Japan. I got to call the shots with everything. And I feel bad because my sister is my best friend and there are many times when I was with her that I still hold near to my heart. When she had her heart surgery last year is one that I will never ever forget but it is NOT my favorite. And couldn't be. However the look on her face in that hospital bed will never leave my mind ever.
Good things I will never forget: Getting into Pratt, The Final Bow for every musical I've been in, The feeling after a long talk with someone, singing along at a concert, singing in the car on the way to ballet with my sister, my 15th and 16th birthday parties, going bowling with P and I, a night in Tennessee, any time spent alone in Maine nature.
Life is too good to have a favorite.

Favorite Candy

mmmm swedish fish. I had a hard time picking my favorite candy. But after my mom sent me some in a package and I couldn't wait and hour before I ate them I knew these were it. However... Alyssa's almond m n m's were really good. And i could always go for a frozen kit kat bar or some dark chocolate......

That is only 71. I think I pondered too much as to what it meant to what i was thinking. And came up with more of sentences rather than words. And what someone would think when they read the words i came up with. Not the point. It is only Wednesday and this is due Tuesday. Maybe there will be more.

Am I doing the Right thing?

yeah. Because then I think..




what else would you do Katie?

So I will just go with the flow and do what I need to do. And maybe ask God for advice every once in awhile.
