Me

I am whitkae.

I have become a bit of a traveler in the past 23 years of my life. I was born in Albany, NY. In 2000, my family & I moved to Westfield, NY (yes, it was a big jump from city to country). From there, I attended a few colleges before settling down & completing my B.A. in English from the University of North Carolina in Chapel Hill, NC. While there, I quite often made trips to Blacksburg,VA (including living there for a summer) to visit Ben who was attending grad school at Virginia Tech. Once he & I were both graduated, we moved to Knoxville, TN where we lived for 2 years. In May 2011, we sold almost everything we owned, packed our cats & lives into a Honda Civic & Toyota Corolla, & made the move of the millennium to Austin, TX.

Ben is originally from PA. We were in a long distance relationship from 2005 -2009. Yeah, that was a bit insane. In fact, our whole relationship has a thread of crazy running through it, but I would not trade it for the world. Ben is amazing & I love him with my whole heart. Well, part of my heart is also dedicated to our 2 cats (Beans & Cid).

My parents & little sister (MJ) live 1500 miles away. I miss them a lot.  I have a huge & crazy extended family.

I love to write. Someday I may even write a book. It is entirely possible that no one will understand or purchase my book, but I do not really mind- that is not the point of writing one. (Hint: e e cummings is one of my favorite authors. That should explain a lot.)

I dabble in arts & crafts. Check out my projects page for a complete list of everything I have done, re-done, made, or re-made.

Recently, I have also been getting back into running (after hating it in high school when I did Track & Field). I also enjoy bike riding, ESPECIALLY mountain biking.

I despise odd numbers. I do not love contractions either. I am also sort of (ok, a whole darn lot) compulsive & obsessive.

P.S. Please do not steal or “borrow” anything I say, write, or make. At least mention that it is mine. I will grant you this courtesy, please do the same.
