Served sunny-side-up with a dash of sass and a side of sarcasm, I’m busy foraging my way through the graduate school of architecture at Virginia Tech.
Cartoons are fun, so that’s gonna be the bread-’n'-butter (or meat-’n'-potatoes, if that’s more your thing) of this blog. I have to draw a lot for school, so I enjoy having a creative outlet that’s not dictated by deadlines and faculty. Also I tend to think most things are funny, and after HOURS of suppressing my laughter at every inappropriate and unexpected turn, I just gotta let it out. And let strangers read it for entertainment.
My name’s Kate, by the way. It’s so nice to meet you.
Wanna chat? Got a question? Have an idea for a post? Think I’m royally screwing this all up? Let me know!

Hello Kate!
You follow my blog: processingtheword. I just wanted to say hello and tell you that I am thankful God has made our paths cross :) I love the Lord so much! I want to honor Him in all I do, including processing my thoughts and what He is teaching me through the blog. If you ever have questions or concerns about anything I post or comment, please don’t hesitate to let me know. I truly believe iron sharpens iron.
I also want to pray with you and for you, if you have need. Please feel free to email me anytime with prayer requests. I will keep them confidential – only taking them to the throne of the Lord. I pray His abundant blessings on you today and as you journey with Him.
Your sister in Christ,

Hi! I just wanted to let you know that I just nominated you for the “Versatile Blogger” award for WordPress! I had to write a post about my own nomination- it’s a tradition, I guess.
If you decide to continue the posting tradition you need to:
1. write seven random things about yourself
2. nominate 15 bloggers that you follow
3. put the “Versatile Blogger” picture (you can find it on my blog on the very first post on the homepage) on your post.
Happy Blogging! : )
Hi Kate!
This is your uncle Jim — and Allie — cracking up at your cracking up!
we love you so so so so you know what!
love, us
Just found your blog today, It is definitely the best looking blog that I have seen. It really does have a very proffesional finish. I love the content too. You’re art work is excellent and very funny, I look forward to following your blog!
Oh, you are just great! I just started mine last week and hope you might find the time to stop by and get a laugh.
I am so laughing right now…thanks for the thank you notes you posted.
You’re definitely worthy of being the first humor blog on WordPress’s topic list. They’re so funny :)
By contrast, I’m a rookie blogger -.-

Can you teach me that thing where you suppress laughter? For me it’s like trying to corral a cat.
Hello Kate!!
[...] from Kate, this sassy sarcastic bloggist’s posts a playlist which I happened to know all the songs! So, [...]
Hi Kate,
Your creativity and “sunny-side-up” humor made my day! Love it! Looking forward to more from you!
WordPress featured you on the home page. I was attracted to your blog cuz the featured one is about music, which I am very much in favor of! I was pleasantly surprised by your style, your outlook, your general personality! Except for maybe music I suspect we have ZERO in common! But I’m following you anyway….cuz I like reading you. Best of good fortune in your architecture, and have a great day! Oh, my name is David.
Saw your latest entry on the Freshly Baked session, and all I can say is that you should continue writing more funny stuff! Your sense of humor is something that I don’t see in TV shows anymore these days.
Keep up the good work!
its gr8. i just luved it…..
You are so talented, just stumbled upon your blog!
Great blog! :) Read the first post and was hooked.
Glad another school in VA is getting a good dose of sass and sarcasm! But really, nice blog!
