My name is Katie and I live in Wisconsin! I will be 18 on February 24th. I am a senior in high school, and going to move in with my boyfriend next year when I go to UW-Madison. My boyfriend and I are huge nerds, so anything with math/science puns, video game related, or just overall nerdy is loved. I love red and black, since Phantom of the Opera s my favorite movie, but I mostly like all other colors except orange and yellow. I love roses and Japanese themed items, and I also love musicals. I have danced Jazz, Hip Hop, Ballet, and Acrobatics for 15 years and I also have played the flute for 8. My main crafts are sewing, felting, jewelry making, drawing, and painting. I currently really want to learn how to crochet.

Red and black pillows or other room decor my new apartment
A dance themed bag for carrying my dance shoes
