BEDA Intro Questions
Name: Katie
Age: 25
Where I live: Urbana, IL
Where I call "home": Brooklyn Park, MN, but since none of my friends or family live there, specifically, anymore I'm going to say the greater Minneapolis-ish area.
Why I blog: I'm starting because I read the BEDA calendar and thought, 'I have opinions about these things!' And so. I also could use the practice writing, and I don't get to write for fun anymore.
What part of BEDA I'm most excited about: Having a set thing to think about during the day that can distract me from grad school.
Why I'm doing BEDA [again]: See 'Why I blog.'
How I first discovered Maureen Johnson/BEDA: Becky's blog.
Something other BEDA people might not know about me: Well, seeing as how I don't know many of you in the first place, I'm going to say there's a lot. In a nutshell, I am a grad student in physical chemistry, I'm married to a cool dude, I have a super bratty but super cute dog named Tia, I picked up running in November...and I guess the rest will come out over the next month, eh?
Another blog I follow: Becky's (Life in Denim and Flip Flops), 101 Cookbooks, Carbon-based Curiosities, Dispatches of a Traveling Curmudgeon.
A writer (of any kind) who inspires me: Is it cliche to say a musician? Well even if it is, I'm going with Jerry Cantrell. Powerful lyrics.
A YouTube channel I love: I was unaware until this moment that YouTube even had channels...
A favorite quote: "Guns don't kill people, healthcare does." -- what my husband wants to put on bumper stickers to sell to the crazy tea-party nutters to make a fortune.
OMG, those bumper stickers could make millions! Can't wait to read more!!
ReplyDeleteThat is a great quote. You wouldn't even have to market those in the right crowd, they would sell themselves!
ReplyDeleteThat is a funny quote.
