Hello and welcome to RARA X AVIS. Rara avis means "rare bird" in Latin. This phrase not only parallels my own personality and relations with the rest of the world, but also that of my favorite animal: the penguin. The one in the header up there is named Orestes, Oreo for short. He is relatively excitable and runs around in my head quite a bit. Sometime in the near future, I would like to start a webcomic centered around him, his friends, and lame philsophy jokes. When I finally accomplish that, I'll link it here. For the time being, this will be his home. "This" is my livejournal. My name is Catherine, Cat for short. If you would like to know more about me, you can visit my public weblog and personal site,
Random Chaos. You can also visit my
xanga, which basically amounts to my public message board, or my
flickr to see what I've been taking pictures of. =D
For reasons contingent on my sense of security and vice versa, this journal will henceforth be friends-only. If you are interested in being privy to my random thoughts, comment and I will add friends at my own discretion. If we are already friends or acquaintances, it would be greatly helpful if you could include any identifying information as many people share the same first name. My LJ comments are on email alert so I will always have seen your request. In the event that I do nothing, please don't ask me about it. I simply don't feel comfortable sharing my deepest, darkest secrets with you. Don't worry, I'm usually pretty nice, though I can be quite the odd duck... =D
