So I got really bored, (that and my video editing software isn’t working,) so I figured I’d tantalize your curiosity by revealing even more useless facts about me.

  1. 1.       I love stickers, but HATE sticker and pricing label residue with every FIBER of my being. You purchase something new, and then spend the REST of your life trying to get that sticky label stuff off. Yeah. Not a fan.

     

  2. 2.       Sometimes, I create awkward situations just to see how people react. These situations have a tendency to backfire, and I seriously embarrass myself. At least the people around me get a good laugh.

     

  3. 3.       Fingerprints drive me insane, but I’ve gotten really good at not having to wipe them off of everything, except maybe my sunglasses.

     

  4. 4.       Team Jacob, duh.

     

  5. 5.       Some of my favorite musicians are Linkin Park, Jars of Clay, Skillet, Barlow Girl, Paramore, Flyleaf, and anything not country.

     

  6. 6.       My favorite movie of all time may be The Fifth Element, but I also love Nacho Libre and The Emperor’s New Groove. I’m also a fan of those epic “Good Vs. Evil” movies, like Lord of the Rings, Gladiator, and Fight Club. (well, that’s not really a good vs. evil.. but you get the idea.)

     

  7. 7.       Speaking of Movies, I usually end up liking the villain better than the hero. After all, The “Goodness” of the hero is equally proportionate and therefore measured by how “Evil” the antagonist is. Don’t believe me? Watch “The Lion King” again and tell me that you don’t think Scar is the worst villain in the world. He murdered his own brother and tried to murder his nephew! How triumphant was the scene where Simba took the throne? AMAZING! Why? Because that jerk Scar had been overthrown. </soapbox>

     

  8. 8.       I make an origami paper crane every day. Yes, I’ll be doing this on the race.

     

  9. 9.       Not a big fan of my voice, but I really like my forearms.

     

  10. 10.   Every time “Love Shack” by the B-52’s comes on the radio, I HAVE to listen to it. I am compelled.

     

  11. 11.   Apparently, I have to feel “clean” to paint effectively. Like, showered, deodorant, etc. I just found this out today.

     

  12. 12.   I’m pretty much convinced the neighbors think I’m crazy. With all my random art projects that I leave in the front yard. . . and “hiking” around the neighborhood with my giant backpack on in my Vibram Five Fingers. . . I think my roommates struggle with my sanity also.

     

  13. 13.   Italian? Yes please. With a side of Mexican and a dash of sushi. And I’ll take that to go.

I think that will keep you pondering for awhile. . . hopefully I haven’t scared off any potential teammates yet. Can’t wait to share the randomness with you in person!!

~Kige. 

(Oh, and P.S. … The nickname “Kige” is a self given nickname. I started signing this on all my drawings years ago. It’s the first two letters of my first and last name combined. And I pronounce it Ki Gee… if that helps. )

Orrrrrrrrrrrrr you can just call me Kirsten. I’ll answer to that too.
