User:CattleGirl

Welcome to my user page!

Please feel free to leave me a message on my talk page. I'll respond quickly! Thank you for coming to this page. I'm just another editor trying to make Wikipedia just that much better- I hope to see you around! Have a look at the rest of this page to know more about me, my life, my editing, my music... And a special thanks to Riana for these codes, and to Erich, and Editor at Large, who both helped to get these codes on Riana's page in the first place. By the way, I'm not sure what difference it makes, but I view this page in Internet Explorer. Thankyou!
Cheers- CattleGirl

On Wikipedia

I'm on Wikipedia pretty much every day for a few hours, I'll be on less as I try to juggle more committments... swim training, as mentioned before, various agricultural shows in the coming weekends, and on top of that my guitar for a few hours a day. However I'm still on Wikipedia editing as much as I can.
As I'm very interested in Alternative rock and other forms of alternative music, I've been editing a lot of those pages, and joining some Wikiprojects, like Wikiproject My Chemical Romance and others, and creating Wikiproject Panic! at the Disco. If you're interested in either of those, we're always on the lookout for new members.
I revert a lot of vandalism, and I also like to vote on AFD and TFD's. If I've reverted an edit that you believe was valid, or warned you for one that was not yours, please contact me on my talk page.
Note- I don't use usernames outside the website I originally registered it on, meaning if you see someone calling themselves CattleGirl off Wikipedia, it's not me, unless it's a mirror site of Wikipedia.

About me

I work with cattle on a regular basis, and this year will hopefully be a good one, even with the drought (yes, the drought. When you've just spent a week in the city and it's reached there, you know it's getting bad). Our farm features a Red Angus stud. We also own a LOT of Romney's and East Friesians, and many rare chicken breeds, all of which we reguarly show in agricultural shows, including the Australian Sheep and Wool Show and the Royal Melbourne Show, where we show our cattle.

I'm a proud supporter of Greenpeace, a non-violent organisation that works for sustainability of the world's resources, and also saving lives of countless animals, most notably whales. I'm involved in many campaigns in reducing global warming, which raises money for funding green energy resources.

I also do not support nuclear waste and power, whaling, and a recent problem, bottom trawling, which is causing damage to the bottom of the earth's oceans.

I'm also very passionate about music, and you'll see me editing music-related pages.

The life of CattleGirl

This is just some misc stuff about me. If you don't believe in the same things I do, please don't vandalise my well-meant words here. If you find my words insulting or offensive in any way, please contact me.

I am a Christian, and I love Christian bands like Hillsong.
I am a proud supporter of Greenpeace.
Like the username, I love cattle.
I am going for an ambition to be a professional swimmer, and currently both swim and regularly play waterpolo. My current Personal Best times are around 30-33 secs for 50 metres in most of the strokes. None of my PB's go over 38 seconds. My slowest strokes are backstroke and breastroke, and I specialise in Butterfly.
I play a lot of sport, and on top of swimming, but I also play waterpolo and netball, and have recently started triathlons.
One of my dreams is to also be a musician, and I aim to play 10 instruments by the end of my life. At the moment the count's 3- saxophone, at an advanced level, guitar (yes, my obvious favourite), at an intermediate level, and recorder- although, admittedly, I've forgotten most of it.
I'm obsessed with alternative music... and various movies. Current obsession is V For Vendetta- gotta love it :)!

Music

I play electric guitar, have lessons and have been accepted into a band as one of two guitarists (God help us!). I also play saxophone, and sing a bit- backup in the band's case... oh dear. Since one of my passions is music, I wanted to say one thing on here. Don't cancel out an entire genre of music because of stereotypes. If you don't like one song, it doesn't mean it's all bad! Be open to all sorts of music, listen to people's suggestions for songs to listen to, and if you like it, you like it, and if you don't, you don't, whatever it is. Admittedly, most people, including me, enjoy one sort of music more than others- you'd be hard pressed to find a pop song I like, and I really don't like most "house" songs-but seriously, be open to everything. One more thing- if you don't like something, Wikipedia is not the place to tell everyone. There's forums for that.

Picture of the day

The royal angelfish (Pygoplites diacanthus) is a fish in the marine angelfish family, Pomacanthidae. It is found in tropical seas, including the Red Sea and the Indian Ocean around East Africa and the Maldives, the Tuamotus, New Caledonia, and the Great Barrier Reef. It is also found around Taiwan and islands off the coast of Japan. The royal angelfish has a maximum length of 25.0 centimetres (9.8 inches), with coloration varying by region. A commonality is that the body is edged in narrow blue-white and orange stripes that are narrow and angle backward. It is a carnivorous species, feeding on sponges and tunicates, and resides in coral-rich areas of lagoons and reefs as well as in the vicinity of caves. This royal angelfish was photographed in Ras Muhammad National Park on the Sinai Peninsula in Egypt.Photograph credit: Diego Delso
