User:KittyConnolly



My name is Catherine Landa Connolly, and I am a freelance artist who also works as a barista (for the health benefits). On Wikipedia, I go by the handle KittyConnolly. Originally from California, I now live in the 'burbs of New Haven, Connecticut.

My hobbies include watching anime, reading manga, cartooning, and karaoke. I also likes playing video games (be it on my Playstation 2, the Wii or my Mac), and watching stuff recorded on my TiVo, or (most recently) on my iPod.

I'm usually on AIM under the handle amimizuno80.

My interest in Wikipedia
I first discovered Wikipedia through my husband, who would always refer me to this site whenever we discuss whatever topic comes up in our conversations (from actors to events in history and the like). Since then I find myself coming to Wikipedia a lot.

If I feel that an article is missing something, or if it's misquoted or whatnot, I'll throw in my two cents. Before, I would make edits anonymously, but now I feel that one should be given credit for an edit; thus my decision to get a Wikipedia account.

I hope to do right as a Wikipedian, so if I make any kind of error in editing please let me know. ^_^

Top 10 Things I Personally Believe In

 * There is a bit of good in everyone, even those with the strangest quirks.
 * Everyone should have a fair chance or fair say (or both).
 * If you see someone make a mistake, don't be afraid to call them on it. After all, we do learn from our mistakes.
 * The Golden Rule: Treat others how you want to be treated. (Especially true here in Wikipedia, or any other web community.)
 * Give things a try before saying you dislike/hate/abhor them.
 * Prescription medication should be more affordable than what we, as Americans, are paying now for them. The same goes for health care in general.
 * Everyone is entitled to their opinion, no matter how positive or negative; wars should not start over them.
 * There is more than one way to do certain things.
 * It's okay to ask for help every now and then.
 * The kind of person you are depends on what you do with your life.
