So, I feel like I haven't officially introduced myself, even though I've been on DA for months now. I feel the time is right to enlighten everyone. God, that sounded so official. Haha.

As many of you (I hope) know my name is Cathy Huang, I'm of Chinese descendant and I was born and raised in South Africa. I have a chinese name but I'd rather not put it out there, just in case people start trying to pronounce it and start making a fool of themselves.

I'm currently 14 years old, although I'm super tall for my age. (174cm in fact) Shocking right?

I'm in grade 8 right now, or probably a 'freshman' if I refer to schools out of the country. In case you were wondering, I CAN speak Mandarin. It was actually my first language but now I just utterly suck at it.

I enjoy hanging out with my friends and fooling around. I have a passion for music, I've been learning piano since I was 7 but only really started taking it seriously when I was 12. I'm going to do my Gr5 exam next year. Another thing I really care about is saving the earth and informing people of what will happen to our world. Yes, I'm a tree hugger but I'm proud of it. It urks me when I see people just wasting our resources, this inspired me to make the most of what I have.

I absolutely LOVE art, every single form of it. I love looking at paintings by famous artists, they're all so inspiring. I don't and I won't give a damn if you think Picasso's work is hideous. It's art. We all have our own ways of expressing ourselves. I'm taking art in my school and I'm having the time of my life. Partly because the rest of my fellow artists are crazy and make every moment enjoyable.

I hoping to get to study design or photography when I get to college. Photography is another great passion of mine, although I don't own a fancy professional camera like most people, I still have fun taking my photos. In fact I only have a small Canon digital camera designed for parties but I do what I can. Photoshop is like THE thing to have right now, and sadly I only own the oldest version and I have about 0.7% of photoshopping skills. So therefore I use Picnik. I know, what an amateur. So what? I get my work done and I'm proud of them.

Weird and useless facts about me (mostly rantings): [Because that's what this whole thing is about]

-I love history. Call me a geek, I don't care
-I have spent half of my life trying to explain to people that I DONT EAT DOGS.
-The same goes for JAPANESE is different from CHINESE
-I despise learning new languages, not my forte.
-What urks me the most is when people compare me to them. Can't they live their own special lives?
-I wear whatever the hell I want, it's how I am.
-I tend to drop my phone down the stairs about 5 times a day.
-I have THE worst temper in the world.
-My memory will last about a majority of 14.3 seconds.
-I have the tendency to step on little children. Don't ask.
-If you tell me a long 'he-said-she-said' story, it's most likely I'm only pretending to listen.
-I always wanted an older brother.
-I'm at war with my body, it's what teenage girls do.
-I'm kick ass at Wii Mario Kart.
-I’m on the last book of the Twilight saga, and I have to say I’ve read better books. And what annoys me even more are Twilight fans talking about Rob P. 24/7. Whoever is obsessed with Twilight in my class (you know who you are) go tell someone who cares. No offence intended to Twilight fans. But hey, everyone has the right to their own opinion right?
-Bit of a rebel, don’t enjoy going with the flow (as you have seen above) but I will if I have to.

Ok, so I'm done. Thanks for taking the time to read this even though it was completely useless. Haha. If you have any questions please feel free to ask me. I don't bite. Much.

Thanks so much for visiting my page and be sure to check out my gallery.
