I did wonder whether or not to do this. I have real problems with sharing ‘me’ with anyone, the real me, not the one I show to the world 
But, here is a little bit of information about the ‘mind’ behind Katie.
I grew up in a medium sized family with two loving parents. I was a solitary child, prefering to spend time with my one close friend and retreating with books whenever possible. A somewhat wild teenager, I married young (BIG mistake!) but do not ever regret my children. I raised them for the most part as a single parent when my first marriage collapsed, working throughout, at any job, to ensure they were fed and clothed. They have grown to be happy, independent individuals, so perhaps I did something right.
Always, I am there to assist with anyones problems, and, something I never realised until a friend mentioned it, is that I will listen to and help anyone, but rarely share my own problems. I worry, ponder, cry, fume, sulk and think my way through my own, keeping my feelings and thoughts very close to my chest. I suppose I neglect myself, not physically, but mentally, rarely taking time to completely relax.
I have always concentrated on work, and have managed to work my way up the ladder. However, I recently moved from a very good job, which I suddenly realised I detested, and had a complete career change to one in which I can use my initiative and expression, and am somewhat responsible for my own income – a scary proposition, but one that I am finding I enjoy.
My mind is constantly active, sometimes, I wish it would just take a holiday and leave me in peace I can be in the company of others and enjoy it a lot, but I do like to spend time alone, solitude, not loneliness, though on occassions, I get lonely too – I am only human! Outwardly, I am vocal, have no problems expressing my own opinion, and give the impression of being confident and self assured, but deep inside? Nah, I am still the shy, insecure little mouse that I was as a child. I have no confidence in myself at all and am always suprised and suspicious when anyone wants to spend time with me. Perhaps, I am just a very good actress
I suppose that is one reason that I was drawn to SL, there I can be just what I want to be, which is actually very little different from who I really am, just younger,with a better figure, and perfect make-up. 
The End.
