I am the crazy cat-lady that exists in every society. You know, the one who live by herself (as the 7 cats suddenly don´t count for some reason) in the delapidated little cottage in the dark scary winding woods, always muttering (or rather, cackling) to herself, staring evily at any human passing by while gesturing in a witchlike (is that even a word? Oh you get my point) manner, scaring the living daylights out of neighbouring children... *hellish cackle*

Lame  joke aside, yes I do have 7 cats and am a bit (erm... ok very much so) oversensitive to comments about this. You can care for people even if you love animals and are into animal-rights... And you don't have to be weird or freaky because of it either (although in my case I am so I prefer to call it my uniqueness ;-). Simply put, my family has always loved animals, and everyone has one in one form or another. My dad used to breed dogs and birds (although the latter was a mistake from putting opposite genders in the same cages =) and my mom always let us bring home stray cats. Actually, one of the sweetest memories I have of my mother (who died 9 years ago and are very, very much missed) is when she quietly went out in the rain to pick grass and dandelions for my little sister´s rabbit & guinea-pigs. She spoilt us terribly in this manner and I will always love her for that.

What else about me...

• Passionate gemu otaku (well "passionate" sure does have a nicer ring to it than "overtly obsessive" which is implied in the term itself... =)
• Film/TV/book-crazed also
• Pepsi Max-addicted
• In love with the eloquent English language, but sadly losing my grip on it as times goes by. Another reason for my being here, to keep that - and my heart (she said mysteriously) alive.
• Total nightowl, struggling to actually see some of the brief summer here, but not getting up before noon or in bed before breakfast. Did that make sense? Well lucky for me I always did enjoy late fall and winter more. If there's snow. I swear if I don't get any snow this winter I'll... Nothing's like frosty cold and pitch black darkness. Makes the stars more visible. And of course the contrasting beauty of soft winter greyness and shimmering snow... the occasional shooting star and aurora borealis... *muses* Provided you have access to "inside" that is! A nice warm fire (well blankets, radiator and cats have to do in my case), a good trusty book/movie/comic or company, a long hot bath... (Not all at once though! My cats seriously dislike baths. Especially when I'm in it *ouch claws*! =) For being such a tiny country it sure encompasses all seasons and climates. Although rain and flooding seems to be more and more the general weather *grumble*
• Did I mention I have a slight tendency to get carried away and ramble a lot ? =)
• Right now on animal/house-watch for said little sister, which means I'm currently responsible for 7+25 lives here! *wow*. Wait, forgot about the cats, add 2 to that (thank goodness she brought the dogs with her!).
