This is angelkitcat. I am going to tell you a little bit about myself on this page. (I
will endeavor to be truthful.) As of December 9th of 2008 I turned 61 years Young. Truly, I think I am in my second
childhood ...um maybe my third. I have red hair and blue/green eyes. I am not a gorgeous woman but evidently I
do have a certain appeal for some people. I have done many different things for a living since I was 13 years
old.....mostly full time work. I was in the food industry, the entertainment industry and retail sales at one time
or another in my younger days. From 1973 to 1991 I was involved in getting my Sociology/Psychology degree from Laurentian
University in Canada and working in Social Work positions. Since my husband died I have been unable to work in my discipline
so I am making far less money here than I did in Canada. So it has been a struggle to live month to month. But I approach
things with a great deal of determination, enthusiasm and old fashioned guts. I plan to be in a much better place by the
end of this year. I want to have my own business on the net. I want to make a comfortable living or better from my home.
I want to conduct an honest, ethical and helpful business. To me it is important to always follow your dreams no matter where
you are financially! It is, when the day is ended; even more important to be passionate about your life.
In the 60's I quit regular high school in the neighbouring
town of Markham, Ontario. I left my hometown of Unionville, Ontario and started a rather strange odessey. I
worked at all sorts of jobs in the subculture of the Hippie Movement. I met a number of terrific people that
were in the arts or working at getting into an artistic career of one kind or another. I worked in Coffee Clubs in the
Yorkville Village district of Toronto, Ontario, Canada. I acquired a great many aquaintanceships and a few friendships
in the mileu. I enjoyed all the things that were there to explore. I went to all the concerts I could attend.
To this day some of my favourite singers include Buffy Ste. Marie, Joan Baez, Bob Dylan, and Richie Havens.
I attended a commercial art school for 8 months in 1964. After that experience at the age of 18 I started
working at the coffee clubs like the Bod Pod, the Mousetrap and the Riverboat. I always worked at least two
jobs; one of which usually was the Jazz Club on Dupont Avenue. I
enjoyed my alternate lifestyle. l remember one of the wild things my little group of friends and I did. We took
part in the demostration when Joan Baez was at city hall to help us show solidarity against the war the USA
was having with the country of Vietnam in South East Asia.
Spirituality: All that I know is that I try to pray and meditate every morning and at night.
I ask the God of my understanding for one more day to live happy, joyous and free.

Kitcat's Favourite Things
Movies: My taste is rather eclectic. I have loved everything from Easy Rider and The Rocky
Horror Picture Show, to The Excorsist and ET. I love mysteries, horror, and Sci-fi. But I love children's and
adult fantasy such as the Ring Trilogy, the Harry Potter series of movies and The Labyrinth. I also enjoy romantic
historical stories like Elizabeth.
Music: I have a wide range of musical taste. I enjoy all the old 40's 50's 60's
and 70's music. Have been a huge fan of the Beatles since I first heard "Love Love Me Do" in the 1960's.
I like some of Elvis' slow pieces but can not stand to watch videos of him in concert...just can not watch him. Roy
Orbison and Buddy Holly were played on my old stereo a lot along with Joni Mitchell, Melanie, Grateful Dead, Led Zepplin,
Janis Joplin, Jimmy Hendrix, Black Sabbath and Iron Butterfly. I enjoyed
a lot of the music, along with the Beatles that came over the pond during the British Invasion. However nothing
beats Benny Goodman and Glen Miller for swing, the Duke, Billy, and Ella for Jazz, or Leadbelly and Muddy
Waters for the Blues. I thrive on Reba, Dolly, Charlie Pride, and Toby Keith; and others too numerous to mention.
Two bands of recent years I absolutely adore are Nickelback (Canadian like me) and Hinder. I really miss James Brown, Ray
Charles and Lou Rawls; really liked to listen to them. A fairly new young lady on the scene is the extremely talented
Regina Spektor. Hey I told you I liked a wide range of music. I can even get lost in my mind listening to Charlotte Church.
If it has nice to great lyrics and the music makes me want to dance or cry or sing along
or otherwise express my own joy, it is my kind of music.
Books: I enjoy Stephen King, Anne Rice, Dean Koontz, Charles Dickens, and anything by Agatha Christie
or Tolstoy. I love historical novels, scifi, mystery, horror and pschological or sociological texts. If
I am going to see a movie I try to read the book first or immediately after it. It adds to either but very seldom both. My
favourite movie this year, (2006) has been Walk the Line. I am looking forward to seeing Crash and Capote.
