Day Twenty Five

Day 25 – A character who you can relate to the most

When I read Northanger Abbey I really related to Catherine Morland because I have a bit of a vivid imagination and am always getting into scrapes because of it. Also because, especially when younger, I was easily led astray and influenced by others. The one thing she didn't have (though I didn't used to, perhaps she's developed one to rival my own) that I have in abundance is a terrible temper .. it doesn't happen very often but when it does pheweeeeeeee .. I stomp about and slam doors and go out for walks in the rain without a coat on .... not in a romantic Marianne Dashwood type of way but in a terribly spoilt Catherine Earnshaw 'I will make myself ill and die and then you'll be sorry' sort of way .. luckily, nobody takes the slighest notice of it or me.
