Personally

It seems silly to say this but, I am nowhere close to perfect. I have something approaching a personality, and it plays a factor in how I absorb, contemplate, and react to the world around me. Here’s an overview of my interests, skills and mind.

By Nature

I’m a live-wire; extroverted, energetic, warm and optimistic. I speak eloquently (sometimes frenetically), laugh with my heart, and want to spend my life driving a McLaren F1 on long, winding roads. With a squash court & a smoothie at the end.

By Experience

I tend towards a sort-of stoicism; deeply introverted, empirical, constructive, self-critical, and cynical about humanity. I am fiercely independent, and refuse to let a bad situation get the better off me. I still talk far too much - but I’m working on it.

By Intent

I want to be better, every single day. Every experience is an opportunity to learn something new, to broaden my interests, understanding, and ability to make a difference to my life, and possibly to the quality & integrity of our species.

I’m Curious and Hands-On

Curiosity is central to this Kat. It tried - and failed - several times to kill me, gave up, and was happily appropriated by my mind. It now serves as my principle philosophy to the human experience, and enables me to approach it from multiple perspectives. I’m also hands-on and unafraid to learn something new. Indeed, I rather revel in acquiring knowledge, because eventually it must manifest my freedom.

I’m on Fire

I seem to have access to an endless stream of energy, and it lights me up from the inside-out. My mind comes pre-kindled, eager to devour conversation, deconstruct the situation, and offer a multitude of perspectives on it. My body literally begs to be operated like a panther, and I own it. I believe in the vision of science-fiction writers, and am earnestly developing my skills to deploy and iterate the ideas of this fantastic heritage. I will learn anything. I want to achieve the improbable.

I’m excellent at Failure

I even look forward to it; not because I’m excited at disappointing myself (or others), but because I see failure as an opportunity to learn something new. When managed correctly, it transforms into a source of immense satisfaction. It is a powerful tool in understanding and accepting my inner self. With a little patience, courage and determination, failure is a powerful source of motivation.
