About Me
Hello. I’ve taken months to bother writing this part. At the moment I’m in one of those “I really wanna talk about myself” moods, and since I’m painfully alone at the moment, I’ll indulge my mood by finally typing this up!
So yeah, hello. My name is Cat and I am a 22 year old female from the south-west of Scotland. Apparently my accent is that of a farmer, but I live in the suburbs and have never lived on a farm, so who knows where that comes from. At the time of typing this, I am weeks from starting my masters degree. I graduated with my BSc in June, and this is just the next step in my awesome education. And my education has been awesome. I attended the University of Glasgow for my undergrad degree, and that’s where I’m going for my postgrad one too. I’m very proud of myself educationally. Graduation was one of the happiest experiences of my life, and my mother crying during it just made me all fuzzy inside all the more.
Moving on…I’m a total nerd. I love video games and comic books. I own a PS3, PS2, DS, Wii and a PC which I regularly use for games. I read s good variety of different comics too, although mostly I’m into the more horror-orientated ones, such as Hellblazer.
I started my “interests” section here with the nerdy stuff so I didn’t look all cliche and say “I LOVE MUSIC”. Everyone says that. 13 year old girls who download the odd song from Limewire claim music is their “life”. Music is not my life, but I’m quite likely more into it than you. Ska and punk are my favorite genres (third wave ska and modern punk, that is), though I can’t tell you what exactly I like, because I like so much stuff. I play keyboard and drums too, and I have a guitar…although I’m pretty shit at it. I spend a lot of my online time on RYM (rateyourmusic.com) and last.fm. I don’t put anywhere near as much into my other interests as I do to music.
Aside from that stuff, I do read the occasional book. I’m currently reading Koji Suzuki’s “Spiral”. I also adore psychology, and I like to keep up to date in research in the field. I plan on moving to Sweden next year to study it in fact, right after I’ve got my masters degree (ugh yes, I’m one of those people who’s gonna have more degrees than teeth).
On a more emotional note, I’m a pretty sensitive person. I feel depressive a fair bit and lonely as hell. I despise people in relationships and hate when my friends get into them. What I’d give to have a non-loser friend who would stay single as long as I do. I’ve had my heart broken, and although it was years ago, I guess the scars still exist. I fear depending on someone like that again. I almost dropped out of uni because of it. It changed me. No worries though, most of the time I’m lighthearted about pretty much everything. There’s no point in taking the world seriously. Most things have a funny side to them, and I like to focus on them. I can be depressive as hell, but I’m great at being fun too. I also care about those close to me massively. I don’t have many friends, but I don’t want many friends. Not having many friends gives me the time to make the important people feel most special. Popularity is something that feels painfully lame to me. If you’re a friends of mine, you’ll always know you mean a lot to me, and I’ll always be loyal and dependable for you. That’s who I am. I have many faults, but really, I think I’m a pretty great person.
And that’s all I have to say.
