About Me

Hi, I'm Cat.
I'm a politics student so you'll find that I have an opinion on everything. I don't suffer fools gladly and while I value individualism in myself and others, I have no time for people who complain of victimisation because of it. If you can't take the heat get out of the kitchen. I'm actually a friendly person but wind up hated because I sound off way too much. I'd think before I speak but I always forget to. You'll get used to it.
I'm vegetarian. I don't smoke. Drinking has also ceased to interest me much. Start the party and I'll be the one still having fun while you're throwing up. I dance sober, motherfucker. Who's boring now?
I'm at Manchester uni and am now in my third year. I just spent four months in Russia and am about to fly out for my second term in Petersburg. I don't spend enough time in the library, or working, because the Internet is my illicit lover.
One day I will have a big shiny motorbike, and the magical skill of balance so I don't fall off and die. And a two-faced cat. I'm serious.
I love the Cure. Hardcore. I wish I was an American punk rawk kid so I could say shit like 'hardcore' and 'rad' without sounding stupid.
I like to play bass. It's delicious.
I'll talk to anyone interesting. Feel free to contact me but if you use text speak don't be surprised if I never reply.
These are my friends. Listen to their music. They do what I can't a million times better than I ever could, and I love them for it.
A NOTE TO BANDS - Look, if you're going to just add me without looking at what I'm into, I'm not going to accept. At least make the effort to decide whether or not your pseudo-glamourous indie rock 'n' roll is going to appeal to me. (I'll give you a hint - probably not.) Thank you.
