Katie Pyle's Wikipedia Page

General Information:

Name: Katie Pyle

Born: April 6, 1988

(San Francisco, California)

Early Childhood

Katie was born in San Francisco California to parents, mother Elana Krausz and father David Pyle. She grew up as the middle child in-between brother Simon who is five years her senior and sister Lorna who is two years her junior. Katie’s mother is an actress/filmmaker and her father is a real estate developer for Krausz Companies, Inc. Growing up, her parents did a lot of commuter work to Los Angles. She spend most of her summers in Malibu in a tiny shack on stilts to be closer to them. When Katie was only four years old her parents made a movie called At Risk. Her mother stared in it along side today’s Hollywood royalty, Vince Vaughn and Randy Travis. She dabbled in acting as a child, and obviously had talent running through her veins growing up with a mother who was an actress. Her drama teachers gave her only minor roles and she didn’t like practicing. So she moved on from her childhood dream of being an actress even though she had the talent. Not only does Katie have a gift for the arts, but she was also a child prodigy of sorts when it came to math. Scoring better on the SATs at the age of twelve then most high school seniors. She had a special gift when it came to math. After scoring so high on her SATs at such a young age she was awarded a John Hopkins CTY award. During her elementary years Katie attended Marin County Day School. This is a prestigious private school that Katie hated. She states that she was a nerd as a child. She says that she spent most of her youth skipping recess to sit inside and read. Obviously, all this childhood studying and smarts is what helped her out with her wise choice in adult-hood to attend Miami Ad School.

Adolescence

During Katie’s youth her parents separated in 2002. Her father stayed in the family house while her mother moved to Marin California. Katie started high school in the fall of 2002 at Marin Academy. During her four years of high school she started to get really into drawing and painting. She claims to be sort of a wild child during these years. In the sumer of 2004 she spent a summer with a family in Royan, France. Katie has studied French for ten years but still can’t speak much of the romantic language. Katie has many smarts but it appears that languages is not one of the strong points on her list of gifts. The following summer, in 2005 she spent the summer in New York City. While she was in New York she studied painting at Parsons School of Design. This summer experience is when Katie truly came into her own and formed into who she is today. This was a very special and life changing experience for her. Not only did Katie have a personal change in her inner being that summer, but her life changed when her mother gave birth to her half-sister Sophia. Katie graduated from her high school in the spring of 2006. After her graduation she went on a great adventure with her best friend back packing through out Europe for six weeks.

College Years

Katie attended Boston University in the Fall of 2006. During her four years in Boston Katie did lots of traveling. She studied in London in the fall of 2009. She also spent the summer of 2010 in Hong Kong, interning at Senses Group. Her official job was assistant marketing manager. While studying at BU she joined the National Advertising Competition team her junior year. She became the teams Creative Director her senior year. Katie graduated in 2010 with a Bachelors of Science in Advertising. After graduating she moved from Boston to Miami. She started studying Copywriting at Miami Ad School in the Fall of 2010.

Katie is young and at 22 years old she still has so much ahead of her. She has been so many places and has done so many things. She has changed many paths in her short journey of life. If things don’t work out in the crazy world of advertising, she can always go back to her childhood roots, back into acting. She still has Vince Vaughn’s phone number saved just in case things don’t work out. Even the nerdy kid can still end up with the Hollywood ending someday.

The Story of Margret Price!

It was the summer of sixty five and it was the hottest summer San Francisco had seen since 1943. Margret never did well in the heat. She always said that her blood is as cold as her heart and that’s the way that she likes it to be. She did not think right in hot weather. Especially in the unbearable heat in which she was currently residing. Even with help from box fans and open windows it did little to subdue her. She caught herself wondering how much more she could take.

Margret awoke with a sudden jolt, she looked over at her clock and it was 7:25 am. The same time that it was every morning when she would wake. The sun’s rays creeped in through her shades, lighting up the entire room, as if there weren’t any blinds at all. The light from the crisp morning sun was to harsh for her fresh morning eyes to handle. The sunlight on her tidied bedspread reminded her of the half smoked joint left on her coffee table. This realization gave her a reason to get out of bed. The smell of the smoke filled her studio apartment. She decided to make some tea to soothe her throat. She needed to keep her throat at ease so she would not upset her amazing vocal cords. To her this was just another reason to loathe her gift. Margaret wasn’t much of a beauty on her outward appearance. What she lacked in pretty looks she made up for in her rich beautiful voice. This was her own beauty.

Margret knew that she never wanted to have regrets in her life. The thought of wanting to turn your life’s clock back totally repulsed her. She never wanted to identify with that kind of serious regret. She also knew that she was blessed with an amazing gift. The kind of voice that people were envious over. So magnificent that it could possibly make her famous around the world. Her voice as much as it was a gift, she also felt that it was a heavy burden. She knew with a voice like hers that she needed to embrace it and do what she was truly capable of. But something was holding her back.

Edna St Favorite poem!

The Dream

Love, if I weep it will not matter, And if you laugh I shall not care; Foolish am I to think about it, But it is good to feel you there.

Love, in my sleep I dreamed of waking,— White and awful the moonlight reached Over the floor, and somewhere, somewhere, There was a shutter loose,—it screeched!

Swung in the wind,—and no wind blowing!— I was afraid, and turned to you, Put out my hand to you for comfort,— And you were gone! Cold, cold as dew,

Under my hand the moonlight lay! Love, if you laugh I shall not care, But if I weep it will not matter,— Ah, it is good to feel you there

William Carlos style poem- "Fleeting Feathers"

Fleeting Feathers

Through out the years

Promises are made.

The older you get

the more you see nothing ever stays the same.

Donʼt make too many plans.

And try not to shake too many hands.

Dream of the better days.

Always stop and watch the blue bird fly away.

“I plan to leave. You want me to stay. Well, an element of conflict in any discussion's a very good thing. It means everybody is taking part and nobody is left out.”

Van Morrison's remake Wild Night lyrics!

Strap on your shoes and bow before the mirror

And you do your hair, light a smoke and laugh

And regarding last night trying to remember

All your bad decisions are erased from your memory forever

And everything feels so complete

When you toking out on the street

And smoke fills your lungs sends you flying, crying

Dooooweeeed, wild night is calling

Dooooweeeed, wild night is calling

All the girls walk by dressed up for each other

And the boys check em’ out and yell from down the street

And the people passing by stare in wide wonder

And the inside DJ blows out just like thunder

And everything feels so complete

When you toking out on the street

And smoke fills your lungs sends you flying, crying

Dooooweeeed, wild night is calling

Dooooweeeed, wild night is calling

The wild night is coming

The wild night is here

I’m going out and dance, come on out and make out

Come on out and dance, come on out, make out
