I filled in for the drummer today at church. Playing only 2 songs... I sound worst than rudiment-rudy 😖😖😖😖 Man I have NO coordination at all. I hope they don't start throwing bibles at me, LOL. #dontquityourdayjobchris #joyfulnoise #lotsofnoise #angelsarecoveringears #ithinkimgoingtostopplayingdrumsnow (at Harlem NY City .....)

when i met Aidan for the first time exactly two years ago today i got my period at his house and he walked me down to the bodega on the corner so i could buy pads and then he let me wear a pair of his boxers to bed, cause that's the kind of guy he is. i guess you could say it was love at first sight.

Rachel tagged me too so HERE ARE SOME MORE QUESTIONS & ANSWERS!

The Rules

1. Always post the rules 2. Answer the questions the person who tagged you gave you and write 11 new questions 3. Tag 11 people and link them to the post 4. Let them know you’ve tagged them

1. If you were able to have a lovely sit-down-for-tea/coffee chat with anyone ever, who would it be and what would you want to talk about?

Chloe Coscarelli, one of my favorite vegan chefs. We would go to Cafe Gitane in Manhattan and eat avocado toast and talk about food and Italy and veganism and cute animals and techniques for getting cookies to be a uniform size/shape.

2. Do you think you’ve changed at all this year? How so? Are you happy with the change? 

Yeah, yeah I do think I've changed. In a great way. Earlier today, actually, I was thinking about end of sophomore year Katie compared to end of freshman year Katie and they are two totally different people. I am vegan; my eyes are opened to a new world of compassion and health and I am learning new things every day. I learned how to better respect myself. I learned how to better respect others. I learned a bit more about what I do/do not want to spend the rest of my life doing. I learned how to be a better musician. I am still learning how to be a better musician. I am way more mature and I have less breakdowns. I cut out a lot of bullshit from my life. I made new friends that I can't imagine my life without. I'm not perfect, but I'm happy.

3. How do you want to die? 

Quietly and peacefully while staring at something beautiful and holding someone's hand.

4. What adventure do you want to go on? 

The adventure I know I'll be going on in a few short months-- living and studying in Italy and traveling around Europe by myself/with some amazing friends.

5. If you were magically awesome at something, what would that something be? How would you use this awesome something in your daily life? 

I would love to be better at focusing on things. I know this can probably be achieved by spending less time on the internet toggling between facebook/tumblr/twitter/email/buzzfeed/etc. And I would use this newfound focus to sit down and actually finish a ton of books.

6. If you could redo a moment in your life, would you? 

No, never. Everything that's ever happened to me has helped me grow into the person I am now, and I like her. She can stay.

7. What is your favorite musical instrument and why? 

It's a split between cello and voice. The human voice can do so many amazing things and have such beautiful qualities when treated right, and the cello just sounds like melted chocolate.

8. Where/what is your “happy place”? 

In a clean, well-stocked kitchen, baking or cooking and listening to music. 

9. If you could exist in any book/movie/television universe, which one would you choose? Who would be your friends? 

Breakfast at Tiffany's as Holly Golightly, because that's kind of how I envision my life going in the next five years: living in an NYC apartment with a bathtub couch, a nameless cat, and frequent jazzy parties. What's kind of sad is that Holly doesn't really have any real friends besides Paul Varjak, and I would like more friends than that. Hopefully all of my friends will be amazing artists/musicians/writers/thinkers/scholars (not that they aren't already, of course).

10. What is one thing you hope to accomplish in your lifetime? 

I know you said one but I'm going to pick two because that's how I roll. I would like to be hired for my voice and travel around the world singing, and I would also like to help bring veganism to mainstream society and make it an even more fun and accessible way of life.

11. What do you think about right before you fall asleep? 

Lately I've been thinking about how I'm going to spend my summer (which basically consists of working two jobs to pay for booze and food in Italy, going to the beach, reading books, and eating delicious food).
