Hey everybody! Let me start out by saying my name. The name's Katia, but I also go by Katianna, Kati, Kitty, & Kat. However, the Black community knows me as Kataya, KaTia, or Kaysha. ] I was born on May 8th, during the springtime, which makes me a spring baby! I'm proud to be a spring baby, because I love the warmth, the sun, clear skies, flowers, and showing off the skin! I get seasonal depression during the autumn and winter, because I hate the snow and the cold. This is why I hibernate during the cold seasons. Plus, winter and autumn is also nose bleed season for me =/ Let me not say anything further about it, because I'll start to get sad...Anyway, I was born in Manhattan (Amsterdam Ave- woot woot!!) Manhattan is one of the best boroughs; it's always full of fun, surprises, and sexy boys! I'm half Italian and half Puerto Rican, but 100% proud. It can't get any crazier than a pizzarican, now can it? I'm a friendly person. I get along with people easily. I'm not complex; it doesn't take much for me to have a good time. I'll make fun out of anything. =I love taking adventures with my dear sister, Tina. She's my ride-or-die chick...right??= Let me give a shout out to the rest of the girlies....Sister Loli, Cousin Yenni, Cousin Melissa, Cousin Samantita, Ashes aka Pup, Cacaball, Shantiki, Erikakita, and you know what? Every girl in our 11th grade class, because I love all of you and I get along with each and every one of you. =] I'm a GOOD girl. I know what's right and what's wrong. I don't drink. I don't smoke. I stay away from drugs. Unfortunately, I’m surrounded by their abusers. My generation seems to think that smoking pot, shooting up H, and all that other “good sh*t” is the latest trend. I'm not easily pressured into doing things. I know when to say "NO". I think and I make wise decisions, which is something that a lot of people in this world need to start doing. I'm the type of person that puts others before myself. I love the feeling I get when I help somebody. I don't care what others think about me. I'm myself all the time. I change for NO ONE.

Im not gonna say that I'm different from other girls...that "I'm not your average chick" && that I'm "unique" ..because that right there, is sounding just like THEM. That's what they ALL say. So, if you don't know me..then find out for yourself on where I stand. Whether I can easily be distinguished; compared to them other girls. And if you know me already.....then enough said. Those of you who LOVE me, know that I make your world EXPLODE =] Those of you who can't STAND my CRAZYwildass...ya know that I make your HEAD explode. It's one way or the other =]

~guns ~Our generation's current trend: Jordan/Nike <3 & Hypebeasting...can't wait till it's over. I notice that people compete with each other's footwear(who gets what pair first.) It's sad. Footwear seems to be everybody's addiction. Just do you. If you like it then cop it. Who really gives a damn about who got it first. Don't get caught up with all the hype. Cop what YOU like. True phuckin tale. ~when people can't away from MySpace for AT LEAST a day ~math ~poseurs ~music that is degrading towards women and those who support it ~pasta..DISgusting ~people who disrespect others or even themselves ~liars! ~the 7 train and all the neighborhoods that are surrounded by it** ~when people are "stuck in the past" ~war ~when people litter and have no consideration for our dear planet ~when people don't stick to what they say; people who change their minds too often ~when people say they don't care..when they really do

A Lil' Message from Yours Truly
A lot of people ask me, "What do you want to be when you grow up, Kati?" I just look at them and tell them I don't know, because I really don't know exactly what career I would like to pursue. I hear a lot of other adolescents say that they want to become doctors, lawyers, teachers, etc. It's like they know exactly what it is that they want for themselves. They have a plan for their future. But me...I still don't know exactly what it is I would like to become. I don't have my mind set on something in particular. I do know one thing though in mind. And even though it's not specific or particular, it's something that I would like to be. I want to be somebody that people could look up to, especially for young ladies. Okay, so I want to be famous. I want people to know my name. But, what I'm really trying to say is that I want to be a role-model. There are so many people out there that need one. I feel like I'm a person who's doing the right thing and that others should follow my example. I want young ladies to stand up and be proud of who they are as women, because unfortunately, there are many out there that are ruining themselves and are ALLOWING it. I want them to feel great about themselves. Don't let any man or anybody, for that matter, take advantage of you. Respect yourself. Respect your body. Don't allow a man to feel as though they have power over you, because YOU'RE the one who has power over yourself. It's sad to look at the media (music videos in particular) and watching these beautiful young women half-naked shaking their asses to men who write songs about having sex and one night stands with them just because they "look good." Is this what we want ourselves to look like? I KNOW we have more class than that, ladies. And it's time for us to step our game up, because we were not made to please the opposite sex in such graphic terms. I know we're better than that. Let's prove to them that shaking our ass and f*cking is not what we're all good for. We're not "b*tches". We are not "hoes." We are women. We are girls. We are ladies. There's nothing more disturbing than to see a woman go about disrespecting herself and allow others to disrespect her. It gets me upset, because I know that she doesn't have to be that person. I know that she is beautiful and is capable of being the woman that deep down inside, she knows she wants to be. So let's do ourselves a favor and let's stop calling each other "b*tches", "smuts", and "whores", because it just makes it okay for guys to call us that. Please ladies, let's show each other that we are better than that...because we are. We are a blessing. =]
