My name be Neumann (well actually it's Katie but there's so goddamn many!!) my friends call me any variation of Neumann that pops into their heads. ex: Neummie, Neumz, Neumer, Neumzie, Noim(the German-Jewish way lol) and etc

I hail from Chicago (home of Old Style beer, pop NOT soda, and slug bug NOT punch buggy.lmao) and im SUPER pale and get shit for it but hey, it's different right? you don't remember all those fake tan girls, but you remember the one with the skin so pale it distracted you from your everyday business. Oh yes...

I am so TOTALLY a Cubbie fan!ima cry because we sucked it up in the playoffs('08). I mean come on! 100 friggin years man! But, a gil i knwo had a point: we are cursed to lose for 100 years; 2009 is 101. If we can win next year we actually rode this fricken curse out all the way

and lets just say that i love horror movies and romance! (hence, twilight)lol

I have to say this about Twilight: Carlisle is by far my favorite character. As a singular person, no doubt. i wish more people would write about things from his point of view that aren't about Esme (although i'm not gonna lie, a lot of those are megacute)lol

Twilight couples...They all have their own flare that i love and is special to them

Carlisle and Esme: They seem so calm on the outside but are really just a burning ball of passion and some of the deepest love

Alice and Jasper: So intense they don't even need to touch!

Rosalie and Emmett: Although the most contemporary in my mind, they are loyal and loving to the extreme (well, Rose is to him anyway)lol

Edward and Bella(of course): Obviously, a drive to keep their love through every impossiblity and the willingness to hurt themselves before they ever see any harm come to each other

Harry Potter couples...i hate when people do non-canon couples, with the exception of Neville/Luna because you never really know who they end up with unless you look it up.

And note on any harry/ginny stories: IF ANYONE KNOWS ANY SOUL BONDING STORIES THAT ARE NOT IN MY FAVORITES, PLEASE TELL ME!!

AHA! Here are some QUOTES from my everyday life i have decided to put on here so you all know where im comin' from lol

Girls
are like
apples on trees.
The best ones are
at the top of the tree.The
boys don't want to reach
for the good ones because they
are afraid of falling and getting hurt.
Instead, they just get the rotten apples
from the ground that aren't as good,
but easy. So the apples at the top think
something is wrong with them, when in
reality, they're amazing. They just
have to wait for the right boy to
come along, the one who's
brave enough to
climb all
the way
to the top
of the tree.

So this is a poem that our school poetry slam team wrote and one of my good friends participated in (both reading and writing). It reads like a script because it has to be performed/acted out. keep in mind that it was written for an all girl audience and by girls who go to an all girl school, so i apologize for the lack of male references.

Stereotypical Cages

Nerd: Dart down the hallway rushing to get to class 4 minutes early. Chatting with friends about parabolas and what E equals. People call me geek, nerd, loser. I prefer socially challenged. My hobbies include reading, writing, and playing chess. I know nothing about hair, makeup, or fashion.

Prep: Omg I, like, so totally love your outfit! Ew, what is she wearing? Not even my grandmother wears that! Blonde hair, blue eyes, perfect tan...that would be me. It's been, like, 3 days since i last got my hair dyed blonde. 4 hours since i got my nails done. And, like, 5 minutes since I last went shopping. Omg i think i am going to go crazy. Ew, what is that horrible noise?

Punk: They call me intimidating. I'm only expressive at where I stand in Converse, black jeans, and a studded belt. My friends and I rock out to hard core music. Giving us disapproving looks for our loud mouths, or is it our loud hair, pointing in every direction? Rise Against, Scary Kids Scaring Kids, just to name some bands who let me yell out against things i hate, and scream for the sake of screaming. Did i tell you i'm vegan?

Loner: Dragging down the hallway, head down, eyes not focused, heart still beating. I walk out as the first bell rings. The morning sun hits my eyes like daggers as i walk away from life into oblivion.

Nerd: Unless there is a gaping hole in the space time continuum I will never get a date or go to prom. My existence will be spent playing Dungeons and Dragons and trying to discover the last digit of Pi.

Prep: 3.1495...

Nerd: I will maybe attend the occassional party where I will bob my head to the music and not dance.

Prep: Clubbing, love it. Peace, love, party-totally the way to be. Talk to the hand. Daddy's always got my back. He'll just write a check and make everything ok. I do what I want, whenever I want, wherever I want. But for now, I have to do homework. Triple snap. What now?

Punk: You apply as much eyeliner as i do! No one takes life seriously, acting the way you do, prep. "Like everyone must be conformed, with no mind of their own." Are you a Barbie doll? Why can't you think for yourself? For me, I need no one. I'm a rebel with a cause.

Loner: I craved acceptance, hurled myself off ridges, and tried to break barriers, sought understanding. From her; weirdo. And her; scum. And her; creeper. Stereotypes left me at the end of the tunnel, dark now like my life; barren, like my soul.

Nerd: Actually, I might dance-not well-but I will. And the music, so loud my body throbs, I like better than Beethoven and Mozart. I will inexpertly apply eyeshadow, cover my arms in braclets, and rip my jeans.

Prep: Yeah, I tend to find time to crack open a book while getting my nails done, but not literally. In my free time you can find me rocking out on my guitar in my basement, screaming my head off. But shh, no one can know. I find time out of my safe zone to go down half pipes and not be afraid. Girly girl? Yeah, okay, I guess you really don't know me.

Punk: If you can be a rock n' roll queen, I can be a fairy princess. No, seriously, I was a sugar plum fairy for ballet. I relax to violins and acoustic guitars and I really do like chess. History is my favorite subject and Hannah Montana is awesome.

Loner: I could be pretty and pink, smart and, well, smart, or in the scene. But I was forced into stereotypical cages, not allowed to fall into more than one "catagory."

--nerd

--prep

--punk

--loner

All: On the outside I am defined, defined by eyes. But soul searching reveals I am just like you!
