Tagged by the ever lovely @presley-smooth ! I’m not awesome at remembering to do these but thought I would give it a try!

Nicknames: Cat, Cait, Caikrin (an adorable butchering of my name by this 3 y/0 girl at work), Victim of the Poop Bandit (my group chat nickname), Fucking Crab.

Gender: Cis girl!

Zodiac sign: Aquarius, apparently, although I feel that sign isn’t very accurate to me :(

Sexuality: Improved recipe lesbian

Height: I.... Think I’m 5’2? I’m a short stack!!

Favourite animal: CORVIDAE FAMILY!! Corvidae family!!!! Also most bugs! The praying mantis and froghopper are two of my favourites.

Number of blankets: In winter I bundle up with blankets. In all weather I only use one duvet, although we used to take the actual filling out for summer and just have the cover on us.

Dream trip: I’d love to have the money and available friendtrip to do a small tour of the world! Visiting @estheticallypleased in Argentina and @femme-fauxpas in NY, but also seeing more or Europe and Africa and Asia and stuff! Part of why I’m planning to work in the cruise industry, so I can see more than just my town...

Favourite song of the week: Prince of Egypt soundtrack, probably. As well as the soundtrack to the lesser-known prequel Joseph: King of Dreams.

Things I find comfort in: Isolated rain. The kind with a border you stand just across from, so you can watch the rain fall almost at your feet while you still stay dry. Watching the seasons change around you and knowing that, despite how slow and hopeless everything can feel, life moves on and constantly crafts new beginnings from endings. How happy children are when you walk through their room. How they chatter to their mum about you as you walk past, excitedly saying your name over and over, they know you, you’re one of their ladies from nursery! Watching the birds crowd together in your garden, flirting and bragging and warring through their song. Sitting with a friend you haven’t seen in months, and laughing with them just the same. Knowing nothing’s really changed, that they love you enough to give you the space to heal and come back, the feeling of your coke fizzing and bursting against your tongue as you get to know each other all over again.

I shall tag @farmerperidot @dimitrippy @femme-fauxpas @vampirequeenoffan @monetarymollusk @purified-through-flames annnnnnd anyone else who wants to do it? :’D sorry guys
