Interested in receiving a handwritten letter?
Inspired by this TED talk, I will send you a handwritten letter if you use the form above or email katepaape@gmail.com. Please include your name and address! Even better if you tell me a little about yourself! I’d love to hear about your favorite book, your quirky obsessions, or what gets you excited to get up in the morning. 🙂
About
Hi. Thanks for visiting my little corner of the internet! Here is a collection of my various projects I’m working on, mostly writing and music related, along with notes from books I’ve read that might be useful to other people too.
When I’m not thinking about books and music, you can find me outside gardening, baking pies and tarts, working backstage at concerts, and occasionally hosting the evening science show (Perpetual Notion Machine) on WORT FM.
Here are some other facts about myself:
I have four cats
and five backyard chickens
I collect decks of cards
My favorite movie is the Sound of Music, closely followed by Interstellar
I am passionate about making unique flavors of ice cream and one was even featured on a restaurant menu
I was once bit by a dog while delivering mail
When I was 11, I learned how to drive a tractor and raked hay and chased cows on our family farm
I have three unfinished novels (maybe one day I’ll finish them)
My favorite Philosophers are Seneca, Sartre, and Thomas Nagel
I used to be a forklift driver
After that I worked as a line cook in a fine dining restaurant
I received the only bachelors degree in music composition in a class of over 7,500
I also have a degree in philosophy to secure employment in case the music thing didn’t work out
I don’t like bios, which is why you are getting an assortment of facts instead, which I think is both more fun, and more revealing
And that’s all you need to know about me for now!
