I am doing this for the following reasons:
a) I’m a sheep
b) I like to talk about myself alot
c) I’m challenging myself to complete the entire thing

day 30
Day 30; Who are you?
So this is one of my most hated questions. Personally, I think it’s a crock of shit to ask this and expect someone to actually know how to answer it. I mean, I could give you a list of details about me, things I like, things I don’t like, statistics like what colour my hair is, how tall I am, etc etc. But at the end of the day - that is not who I am.
I’m Cathie. And I’m also Catherine, McMath, Cathster, Goof, Chewy, Butter. Every single day I’m learning more about life and myself. I’m changing and growing and becoming something/someone new and different. And I kind of like that.
Urgh. Most pretentious answer ever.

day 29
Day 29; In this past month, what have you learned
I’m going to ignore the part about the past month, because this whole thing has actually taken me closer to six months to complete. ANYWAY.
What I have learnt in the past six months (thanks to tumblr):
- I’m a bit of an odd duck. I like a weird combination of things/music/movies etc. But I actually do not care. I like what I like and that’s that.
- You’re never too old to make new internet friends. :) (i’m looking at you, Kenz).
- It’s not natural to envy the body of a fourteen year old. THEY HAVE NOT STARTED BECOMING WOMEN YET, GUYS. OF COURSE THEY HAVE TERRIFIC STOMACHS/HIPS/THIGHS.
- It’s possible to spend hours upon hours simply scrolling.
And I am a better person for all of it. :)

Day 28; A picture of you last year and now, how have you changed since then?
March 2010
March 2011
How have I changed? Uh.. probably not a whole lot! :P I’m not one to make major changes in my life very easily, so a year is not a great deal of time for me. BUT. By this time next year? I’m hoping to have moved out of home into a place with Mark. I (possibly) would like to be at a new job. I might even cut my hair. ;)
Watch this space.

day 27
Day 27; Why are you doing this 30 day challenge
Well I first started it not long after I created my tumblr.. so it was kind of to give me a bit of a helping hand in working out what to post, inspiration, etc etc. And also? I seriously suck at finishing things/sticking with things/getting shit done so it was a challenge to myself to just DO IT.
And look at that. Nearly six months later and I’m nearly finished. :/

day 26
Day 26; What you think about your friends
I think, that despite the fact that they are undeniably human and therefore of course have their own flaws, they are the most perfect women in the world. And the fact that they continue to love me and spend time with me despite the absolute fool I continue to make of myself means that I could not have been more lucky in finding such wonderful friends.

Day 24; A letter to your parents
Dear Granny (aka Mum),
I guess we have a weird kind of relationship. I sort of had to learn at quite a young age that I couldn’t really rely on you to be the “responsible” grown up out of us. And while that forced me to become alot older and wearier alot quicker, it also made me alot wiser. And I’ve learnt alot from your mistakes.
In saying that? I love the beejuzus out of you. You’re silly, kooky, caring, warm and a huge pushover. You want to spoil James and I rotten even when you really can’t afford to. I love that you’ve become a crazy cat lady when I remember you absolutely DETESTING the fact that Dad brought me home a cat back in the day. I love hanging out with you; going shopping at cheap asian groceries/clothing stores/discount shops, watching terribly sad Animal Planet documentaries, or just getting chores done.
You’re nowhere near perfect. But I love you with all my heart and wouldn’t change you for the world.
~*~
Dear Daddy,
I’ve always been “Daddy’s Little Princess”. And I love being her. But sometimes, I feel that you think far too much of me. That in your eyes I am more than I really am. While most of the time it’s lovely to have that much belief and encouragement, it can also get really overwhelming.
And I know you think that because of the divorce that you didn’t have an active role in raising me. You mention that all the time. But I completely disagree. I believe I listened to you more, wanted your approval more, wanted to make you proud more because of the fact that I only saw you on the weekends when I was going through my teenage years. Honestly, you might not think so, but you’ve done so much to make me who I am today.
You’ll be back overseas in a couple of days. And I know that you love it there, that you thrive there, that you’re more alive when you’re there. So I know that it’s the right thing for you to do. But I can’t help but feel a little selfish and want you to stay here, with me, where I can see you and visit you and hang out with you and enjoy what time I have left with you.
I know it’s a terrible thing to think about. But I do. I can’t help it. And it scares the crap out of me that one day, it won’t just be in my head.
I love you Daddy.

day 23
Day 23; Something you crave for a lot
I’m going to make a list because this question isn’t very specific as to WHAT kind of cravings they are. So.
- CHOCOLATE. I always want chocolate. There’s not a lot of moments in time when I don’t crave it, long for it, want it. I would never be able to stop eating chocolate.
- Coffee. HOW I CRAVE FOR COFFEE.
- Hot chips. Carbs and salt and fat and oh god I love them.
- Shoes. I alwaaaays want to buy shoes.
- Manicures and pedicures. I’m pretty sure I wake up wanting one and fall asleep wanting one.
- To move out into my own place. OH GOD THIS. I want this so badly it hurts.
- A new tattoo. It’s literally making me itch, I want another one so badly.
[Thirty Days] [challenge] [cravings]
day 22
Day 22; What makes you different from everyone else
- The fact that I can’t smell or breathe through my nose. I’m sure I’m not the only person on the planet that has this issue - but I sure don’t meet many others (um, or any at all) in my day to day living.
And that’s it? I kept writing all this other random stuff but let’s be honest - everything I could say, there’s someone else out there that has/does the exact same thing. So.. this is a bullshit question. :P NEXT!
