What? Someone actually wants to know about me?

Name: Kaete McLaren Ritter.  
     Kaete is pronounced "Kay-teh."  Call me Katie and I'll have to hurt you.  It's a German derivative of Katherine, which means "pure."   As far as I can tell, Ritter means "knight."  Thus I'm the Pure Knight.  Nifty, eh?

Aliases: Kaete, KaeteVer, or KaetePixie (shockingly creative names, ne?) Kaete is, well, my name. The Ver is short for Verity. I try to use Kaete where ever I can, since it's rarely taken.  Chances are if you see a Kaete on the internet, it's me.

Okay, so who am I ?: I'm a crazy artist chick that's just dabbling with this site to see how I match up with my friends. Novice blacksmith, but I'm also addicted to painting, clay, and drawing. I tend to have my nose in a book at all times, be it eating, swinging from a tree, or splashing in the bath.

I live out in the boonies and like it that way. I much prefer trees to people. Anyone who's known me for long calls me a pixie, so hey, works for me.

Sex: If you haven't figured it out by now, I'm a girl. (look at the pics, silly!)

Age: 22 (ack!  I'm old!)

Hobbies: Reading, all kinds of art stuff in general, messing with html, hiking, sewing, anything SciFi, reading comics, daydreaming, numerous projects of ridiculous size (build a rock wall? Sure!), and general avoidance of reality.

Religion: Mythopoeia - Basically, stories are an integral part of human life.

That should satisfy some of your curiousity... ;)
