"Let us step into the night and pursue that flighty temptress, adventure."
-Albus Dumbledore
My name is Kat Storm, and I live in work in Maryland, near Washington, DC.
I should have my own reality TV show.
I'm definitely a roller coaster of glittery weirdness; a make up guru, self proclaimed nerd, proud defender of Azeroth, a contributor and former editor for DC Blogs, searching for
I try to be as fabulous as possible, as evident by this amazing feather boa.
I've also been blogging since before it was cool. *Adjusts Hipster Glasses*.
I really feel like everyone and their mother has a blog these days. You can thank pioneers like me who endured a lot of snotty "Oh, are you going to put that on your BLOG?"s and "You have a blog? What a Loser."s and "What's a blog?"s in order for you to be able to flaunt your tumblrs about your Draco/Harry Fan Fiction without shame.
I'm very sarcastic and that often works to my disadvantage, because I find that a lot of people don't know how to take it. They seem to think I'm serious all the time. I'm really not. Most everything I say (or in this case, type) should be taken with a grain of salt.
I can't NOT make face in a picture. Well, I can... but I have a compulsion to make that stupid face... more often than not, it's the duck face. But it's ironic duck face, so it's okay.

| No duck face here. |
I know that I'm a narcissist with the HUGEST ego and that I love my own face more than most people love their children. That's when I knew that my boyfriend was THE ONE, 'cause I'd rather look at him than myself. We might get married one day. You're all invited to the wedding. Except you, wearing the crocs. That is not allowed here.
Originally, I was a writer for Points in Case, and then a Contributing Editor for DCBlogs, but now I am a free agent, sharing my thoughts with the world in bubbly pink fonts.
My blog covers a wide variety of topics. The title has "Microchips" in it because initially, I wanted it to be about both the girlie side of me, and my geeky side. I wanted to write about dating, gaming, technology, fashion and make up, but when I decided I wanted to start saving for a house, superfluous expenses (like gaming subscriptions, fashion, and buying new technology) got put on hold. I don't even have a smart phone. I have the dumbest phone. Seriously, it end sentences with prepositions all the time. I hate that.
Anyway, now I write about whatever is on my mind, but I also have two irregularly updated "splinter blogs" as well. One is where I now post all "Snippets" (pieces of conversation between myself and boyfriend, or friends that I find humorous or relevant). The other is called "The Daily Look", which is where I post most make up related content.
I have a "real job" as a verbally abused tech support/customer service rep/miracle worker. It pays the bills while I try to figure out exactly what I want to do with my life. It was supposed to be temporary. Hello six year anniversary, how are you?
I have a tight knit group of friends, sometimes referred to as "The Wreckers". We are like family, and I would do anything for them, though admittedly, I have been known to go about it in the complete wrong way. I'm fiercely protective of my friends and it has definitely come back to bite me in the ass once or twice.
I am
I love to read, particularly fantasy book series, like Harry Potter, Lord of the Rings, and A Song of Ice and Fire.
I'm extremely nerdy, and enjoy hours of playing World of Warcraft, watching Firefly/Serenity, Star Wars, LOTR, Harry Potter, and making fun of Twi-hards... I also love The Big Bang Theory, Game of Thrones, United States of Tara, Cherry Coke, Sushi, Photography, going to the beach, Team Trivia, and shoe shopping.
Oh, and mocking Courtney Stodden endlessly.
Makeup is one of my passions. I have done make up for weddings and proms and other events, but I've never been to school for it. I'm self taught, but I don't think I've got the chops to do it professionally. I do occasionally post tutorials and How-to's, though.
I'm an advocate for a lot of different causes, including suicide prevention, gay rights, animals rights, and the environment. If you check out the charities page, you can see the different organizations that I've been involved with over the years. Also, all proceeds from ANY item bought on the Merch Page are donated to the FCKH8.com campaign.
Still more random stuff that you probably don't care about:

| Le Proof, Bitches |
- I am actually a published author. My first book was published in 2009. However, it sold so poorly, it wasn't cost effective for my publisher to maintain my online store and sell it. I'm hoping to change that with my next book. The book is no longer available for purchase anywhere, but perhaps in the future, I will make it available again.
- I have a lot of guilty pleasures... Reality TV shows, writing Harry Potter Fan Fiction, and listening to repetitive auto tuned music.
- I love drag queens. I wish I could be one. Damn vagina.
- I like using the word "Vagina", or euphemisms for it... such as "Cave of Wonders" or "Cash and Prizes"...
- I have just enough knowledge of computers and web designed to really fuck something up.
- I believe that good friends, good food, and frequent laughter are the keys to happiness.
- My hair color changes pretty frequently. I have been blond, ginger, and brunette in the last six months.
- I curse like a sailor.
- I would be Dumbledore's fag hag in a Hogsmeade Minute. I also love Gandalf. Perhaps I have some type of wizard fetish?
- I'm secretly a gay, black man on the inside. Faaaaabuuuullouusssss!
- Also, I'm a Fruitfly -- The LGBTs love me. And I love them. Pick on my gays, I will kick your ass.
- I like to think I live by the phrase "Demand fabulousness at all times." I am also a fan of "Keep your head, heels, and standards high." and "May the fierce be with you!"
- I'm 5'10"
- The shortest pair of heels I own is four inches.
- I wear an octopus necklace frequently. This is in tribute to the movie Serenity. There is a commercial for Fruity Oaty bars with an imbedded alliance signal in it, that causes River Tam to go Ape Shit and kick serious ass. River Tam is one of my favorite characters of all time, and Firefly is my favorite TV show of all time. It makes me feel like I have a little piece of River with me, waiting to be unleashed.
Is that a stretch? Yes? Okay, fine. I like Octopuses. - I have a very strong personality, and I'm a natural leader. So, I usually get stuck making the unpleasant decisions.
- PhotoShop is a hobby of mine. If you know me, chances are, your head has been photoshopped on to Snooki's body.
- I am a fierce cook. I could win contests. You know, if I was motivated.
- I cut my own hair, and have for the last 7 years.
- I can do a eerily accurate impression of Gollum from LOTR.
- I suffer from extreme cinephelia and audiophelia. I love music and movies. Music is, and always will be one of the most important parts of my creative process. I love music and will listen to anything. Finding new music is one of my great joys. Movies are a (huge) hobby, but music is my soul.
- I use the term "y'all" with complete seriousness.
- I once won $100 in a karaoke contest. The runner up was a guy recovering from a stroke. That's how bad of a singer I am. But I love to sing. God bless my poor boyfriend, who has been forced to sit through many a horrible rendition of "That's Why You Get" by Paramore... he not only listens without complaint, he actually pretends to like it.
- I have spent roughly $2,000 USD while on my quest for the perfect mascara.
- I love movie/video game sound tracks.
- I work mostly nights, and this leads to an insane amount of late night ramblings on Twitter.
- Miley Cyrus is my mortal enemy.
- I have many "adopted" brothers and sisters... Meaning, I collect people and call them my siblings, and claim their children on my taxes.
- Judge me all you want, Cher, Lady Gaga, and Britney Spears are my Gods. And RuPaul is my Jesus. Katy Perry and Ke$ha are like slutty, drunken apostles.
- I grew up in the same town as Linda Hamilton.
- I hate peanut butter, but don't mind peanut butter flavored things.
- I collect penguin themed memorabilia.
- Despite a shoe obsession, I wear flip flops most of the time.
- I love Pirates. And acts of piracy. Fuck ninjas.
- I like Owl City. There, I said it. I don't care who knows.
MAY THE FIERCE BE WITH YOU!
