Katbug

Kaitlin Licause, passionate reader and Friday-night poet, addicted to Arnold Palmer and the written word. A girl who hopes to become a freelance copyeditor, a professor that spreads her love of Jane Austen to her future classes, or the editor-in-chief at Vogue (a girl can dream, right?). But for now, she settles for college life at the "number-one-party-school-in America", West Virginia University (where she and her friends do nothing but play Yu-Gi-Oh cards). She is an English major, honors student, and Resident Assistant.

She loves movies that she was told she wouldn't like, and she plays more video games than what is probably healthy for the average young adult, with few regrets. She has a deep-seated passion for soap. Give her beef jerky, and she will probably give you her soul.

She also writes in third person a lot. ba dm tss
