I guess the first business in order should be to say Hello.
My name is Katie, yep I'm that funny girl that has blue hair in your class, and I am currently kinda...sorta...a freshman or something like that? I hate to say it but I lack motivation in figuring out what to do with myself as I sit in college limbo land and I am not really sure if I have enough credits to even be consider anything else but a freshman next semester. It's not that I don't care or I'm apathetic, it's just life is just kinda crazy and one step must be taken at a time and I think attending every class is a virtue in itself. I like to take the path a little off to the side and just enjoy the time I do have on this big blue ball we call a planet.
Hm...I like to dance down the walk ways of stores and make people laugh when they get me out of my shell (I'm so hella shy), I love to dance in general, I am a huge nerd who loves to read books, learn about history, hang out in art museums, check out the slick beautiful city of B-more, listen to club and light hearted rap, watch that old skool Japanimation, go to comic stores, play games TERRIBLY (down with the wii!), I babble on, I feel like an idiot allll the time, I admire people of strength.
I have a double major in Anthropology and in Modern Language and Linguistics centered in the area of Japanese (yeaa I'm slick nerd like that). I am also aiming for a minor in Journalism because I hope one day to work for National Geographic the magazine and I lack any hope of doing it right now. If not then I'd like to write and do independent field work in cyber cultures and tattoos (odd I know but the history of tattoos is much more fascinating then you would originally think)
Which is the main reason I am taking this Pop culture class. Despite really enjoying my last class with Professor Snyder pop culture is my main area of focus in Anthropology and instead of playing with wild crazy cultures in the beautiful lush wild life I plan to check out what creates subcultures in pop culture and even the anti-culture subgenres such as the punk, hippie, and not limited to myspace culture that make up and form our current pop culture around us and in many different countries. I think it's important to look at pop culture as a whole and it's a great experience to learn where others come from before us since trends like to make that little loop around, right?
As for my pop culture consumption....hm...I use my computer a lot because I am into a lot of rare and odd things so it's easy to find things I like while using the fast interwebs that we all have come to use every single day. Also, I can not lie I am slightly into those internet trends that go floating around, I will let out a 'wtfmate' or a 'Trogdorrr!' (if you know what this mean then thank you, who ever you are) or even a 'wtfbbq11!1"
I listen to toooooonnnnnnsss of music and find that to be one of my biggest pop culture consumption. Anything and everything from foreign bands to Americano and hip hop and jazz. I am not picky about music and try to take a great interest in finding all kinds of rare music and enjoy the indie scene that has been forming.
I don't watch TV. and neither do any of my room mates basically. I find it kind of boring unless I am watching some kind of special on Discovery and N.G.C. yet I do have some guilty pleasures with it.
Like every American teenager I enjoy using my myspace and my own Lj being able to add people and talk to people all over the world is amazing because it shows you that you're not so alone out there.
For my media project, I am sure most of you can remember this from middle school, I am writing about Sailormoon (yes the girls with magic wands and they fought like girls do) but it will be interesting, promise?
Ok, so that’s me in a nut shell, please enjoy reading this, I’m sorry for taking a moment of your time.
