The OTHER Catherines

Last week I had a co-worker ask me about my "online persona." He wanted to know how much of this blog is really ME and how much of it is The Devil. I think what he actually wanted to know was: Do I have the Sybil Syndrome? Because I'm obviously a different person when you meet me.

Or.... am I? The answer depends on YOU. And this is where I segue into a MeMe. I was tagged by the oh-so-talented Jennifer to list FIVE Things About Me which I've decided to narrow down further into FIVE Ways In Which I AM or AM NOT My Blog Persona.

1) My husband will tell you, "YES. This blog is a fair representation of Catherine. Except that she whines a lot more in person. Kind of nasally. And you REAAALLLY need to avoid her for a week out of every month. Unless you don't mind being loathed for your boorish behavior and lack of sensitivity. Plus, Blogger Catherine takes three hours to come up with a cohesive post. Therefore, Real Life Catherine is a lot like dead skin cells. She's kind of all over the place."

2) My sisters might say, "YES, this is Catherine. But piss her off and she bares her teeth like a hellcat. She hisses and foams at the mouth! She is one head twist away from needing an exorcism!!!! Otherwise she's as sweet and pretty as a newborn kitty. Which, by the way, is ALWAYS. Really and truly."

3) My best friend Laurie would say, "This is Catherine being very, very CAREFUL AND DISCREET." And because Laurie is COUTH PERSONIFIED and such a good friend, my girl would leave it at that.

4) The friend and co-worker who wanted to know more about this online persona I've got goin' on... he would probably say, "I still don't believe this is the same person I eat lunch with every other Thursday. The Catherine I know doesn't use words like SNARK and MEME. She doesn't try so hard to be cute. She doesn't let any F-Bombs accidentally slip by. And she NEVER insinuates that she's in love with Obama! Is it just me or does this blog give off an aura of "I heart Obama?!"

5) The doctors across the street would say, "What did you say her name was... Catherine? That gal with the lights on at all hours of the night?? Tell Li'l Mizz Conservation to get off the computer already."

I tag Cameo, Deana, SimplyPink, RubiaLaLa and Shannon. Give me some good dirt. FIVE things. ANY five things. Because, come on, you know that you could do a meme every day for the next ten years and never give it ALL away.
