#Katherine Tess

Meet the twins! Mackenzie Jane & Katherine Tess A.K.A. MJ & KT Syverson!
MJ is in the plaid and KT is in the navy jacket. They are the daughters of Captain Jack and Jamie Syverson, born on February 28, 2007 in San Antonio, Texas where their dad was stationed while he was deployed. Presently, however, they are currently living in Georgia near Fort Benning which is home number nine for them in the past fifteen years.
MJ’s favorite was Hawaii, where she learned to surf, while KT’s favorite was the brief period they were stationed in Germany, where she learned and fell in love with football (soccer).
The two of them are each other’s best friend and they are both total tomboys. The only time they don’t get along is when they are vying for their dad’s attention as he is gone a lot more than he and the Syverson women would like.
Welcome to Savannah Doll House, MJ & KT!!!

I don’t know if it’s like that in LA or NYC - I imagine there’s a similar triad of tradeoffs but I’m not sure if it’s discussed there like it is here. (re: “house, car, or time” and living in an expensive city v working there and commuting)
It definitely is like that, at least in the greater NYC area (NYC/5 boroughs, Westchester, LI, NJ, lower CT). I’ve done both, ie living/commuting from Westchester and CT into NYC + living in Manhattan proper for 13 years. (I don’t know about LA.) Long-trek commuting (“time”) into NYC from the suburbs has been going on since the 1950s Mad Men era. In NYC, the term “bridge & tunnel crowd” is snide shade used by New Yorkers who actually live in “the city” to refer to those throngs of suburbanites who commute into the city, traveling over the many bridges and tunnels leading onto the island of Manhattan. It refers to both work and play, but in a certain twist, it specifically refers to those crowds who pour in for entertainment from the (purportedly “lower class”) surrounding areas of the Bronx, Staten Island, Queens, further out on LI, and NJ. Ironically, the boroughs of the Bronx, Staten Island and Queens ARE part of NYC proper, yet they still get shaded as “bridge and tunnel” (think Katherine v Tess in Working Girl).
**************
Interesting - but good to know that all the big cities have the same sort of commuter culture.
I do wish we had the NYC area’s regional transit. It would make my commute so much better to have that many options (and that frequent trains). But alas, they’ve overdeveloped the area so there’s nowhere for the trains to go and capitalism means our train tracks are shared with commercial railroads and they take priority.

Tagged by @celestialcrowley thanks babe!! 😘
1. Were you named after anyone?
….kind of. My first name (Katherine) is the English version of Catalina, and my dad’s favorite place in the world is Santa Catalina Island. So that was the inspiration. Also my middle name, Tess, was the name of my parents’ german shepherd they had in college.
2. When was the last time you cried?
Watching this scene from Einstein and Eddington. It’s a minute thirty clip and it makes me bawl like a baby. Damn your acting talents David!
3. Do you have kids?
Nope.
4. What sports do you play/have you played?
None really at the moment but in the past I’ve run xc and track, been on the swim team, done basketball, softball, and soccer, and raced triathlons. I’d say running and swimming are the ones I’ve carried over the most to adulthood.
5. Do you use sarcasm?
Naaaahhhhhhhh (she said sarcastically).
6. What’s the first thing you notice about people?
Personality/height.
7. What’s your eye color?
Green.
8. Scary movies or happy endings?
Happy endings all the way. I’m a giant SAP.
9. Any talents?
Singing, trivia, and song recognition. Also preetttttyyy good with faces.
10. Where were you born?
In the room I currently sleep in 🤷🏻♀️
11. What are your hobbies?
Reading, swimming, singing, sailing, photography, birding. Occasionally writing.
12. Do you have any pets?
Yes, 5 dogs, 2 horses, and about 40 chickens. It’s a madhouse lol.
13. How tall are you?
Baareelllyyyy 5’3”. I could have been a hobbit extra in the LOTR movies but NOT in the hobbit movies lol (they had to scale down to match martin freeman’s height).
14. Favorite subject in school?
History, English, Social Studies, that sort of stuff.
15. Dream job?
Pretty similar to what I do now (field ornithologist), only year round instead of seasonally for more financial stability.
No pressure tags @spot-o-bodysnatchin @crawley-fell @rainbowcrowley @onthedriftinthetardis @thedoctorajcrowley @despisedtoolofsatan @notagoodlad @phoen1xr0se @raziraphale @irrationalrage @jessystardust @exlibrisfangirl and anyone else who sees this and wants to do it!

Top 9 Books
tagged by @jesuisici33
Okay, let's do a retrospective here - childhood through current.
1 - Anne of Green Gables, LM Montgomery
Anne my beloved.
2 - Alanna series, Tamora Pierce
Team George all the way - also possibly my introduction to the genre of girl dresses up like a boy to do fun things and save the world. Also, not for nothing but Alanna has relationships with three different men in the series and does not get slut shamed for it, which for a bunch of books I read in like middle school is pretty cool.
3 - Dark is Rising, Susan Cooper
Will/Bran might have been my first ship before I even knew what I was doing. Also they are fantastic fantasy - and for the love of God do not ever watch the travesty of a movie.
4- Lord Peter Wimsey, Dorothy L Sayers
I'm not picking just one - but I guess if I had to pick I'd pick the four with Harriet Vane. I met Peter Wimsey in high school, and basically he's been my benchmark for men ever since.
5 - Little Thieves, Margaret Owen
Retelling of the Goose Girl from the perspective of the Goose Girl. Trauma and recovery and nuance. Also, a heist.
6 - Red White & Royal Blue, Casey McQuiston
I read this when it came out and literally stopped in the middle of my commute to text my roommate 'they're fighting in a closet!'. Also, first book I managed to reread all the way through about four months into the pandemic. Still a comfort read.
7 - Raven Cycle, Maggie Stiefvater
I have read and listened to these book so many times, I can't even tell you. (cheating but also Scorpio Races)
8 - Barbed Wire Heart, Tess Sharpe
I love everything she writes (and she narrates her own audiobooks and it's cool to hear her voice do them) - If you ever watched Justified, this is kind of like an exploration of someone like Mags Bennett - morally grey but on the side of right.
9 - Goblin Emperor, Katherine Addison
Intimate fantasy about learning how to be emperor, and learning how to be the kind of emperor you want to be when you weren't ever supposed to be emperor. And yes, there are lots of stories like this - but this one doesn't come with an epic quest, or a big battle, it's just the slow battles of politics and council meetings (and they build a really cool bridge).
okay, tagging @wtfuckevenknows, and @redshirt2, and @irispurpurea in return.
