Catch the Wind : Beatles

 Hi! I'm CAT- Short for Cheryl Ann Taylor.

I'm from a little place in Texas called Bryan/College Station.

This is the home of Texas A&M University, and The Aggies;

Although I've never been one.

I've always loved music- I sang four years in my high-school choir;

Honor choir in my last year, and my favorite past-time is karaoke.

My taste in music has always astounded my contemporaries;

"God! When were YOU born?" they'd ask,

but most of my favorite music is "Golden Oldies", music

from the 60's and 70's- Probably because it's been tested by time

so that the radio stations only play "the Best". I don't care for

most "Moldy Oldies", music from the 20's to the 40's..

I've been hooked on reading Fantasy & Science Fiction

since my brother introduced me to Tolkein's "The Hobbit"

at a very young age. When I was younger, I also loved writing

poetry, and short stories. I'm beginning to take the time out

for writing again.

I was raised with a strong love and appreciation of animals,

even though I had no pets for the majority of my childhood.

I worked for two years at a local ranch mucking stables just

to learn more about horses and to be around them- I still

don't have a horse, but at least now I know that

"the work involved" will NOT "make me grow out of my

As I was growing up I was always a shy, reclusive youngster,

But you wouldn't know that from the way I acted!! I hid the

Real me behind a façade of outgoingness; seemingly

unable to be hurt by the sometimes cruel taunts of the

other children.

I've kept that shy outgoingness even unto adulthood when,

at the age of 29, I had my first genuine date with a guy-

fell in love- and got married!!

What makes this perhaps most amazing is, at least

as far as initiating relationships HE was as shy as ME!

Thanks for visiting, hope you enjoyed the stay!
