Greetings readers!
My name is Cassie Langstraat and if I could describe myself in one word it would be:
Passionate.
I’m a feeler. Always have been. And that is precisely what this blog is going to be about. The deep rooted passions in my soul. I pride myself on being an eclectic person and not adhering to one set identity, so, my writings will embody that. There are so many things in the world that interest me and that I am curious about but these topics will probably be the ones that get contemplated and written about most.
Reading. Writing. Gardening. Feminism. Traveling. Fitness. Oh, and food. Lots of good food.
Also…
I am a recent graduate of The University of Montana and now work as a Freelance Writer/Development Coordinator. I was born and raised under the big skies of Montana and now have migrated west to try out California life. (PS I LOVE it!) In my spare time I enjoy reading heady philosophical novels and fishing in the dark.
I have no fancy publications or things to brag about, I just am really passionate about a lot of things and want to share that fire in my soul with all of you folks.
Hi Cassie, thanks for finding and following my blog. The copy of ‘Lady Chatterley’s Lover’ on my blog header is actually my mother’s copy. She bought it secretly in the Sixties, from the village shop in a brown paper bag. Never knew my Mum was such a radical! SD

Hi Cassie! Found your blog through Blogging 101 and I love your writing in the posts I’ve read so far! I too graduated with a BA in English but never wrote or published anything in a fancy publication, but I have an abundance of random interests. I’m excited to read your future posts!

Thanks Carla! Yeah I absolutely loved my English degree. I loved pretty much all of my classes and actually enjoyed going to school unlike most of my friends. I will always be thankful I got my degree in something I love. I do miss talking about books everyday though. Like, A LOT.

It would be an injustice if I leave without commenting here about your smile. You have a really beautiful smile 🙂
And one doubt. What is “combobulation”. Anyway thanks for this new word. I am googling it 😀

Why thank you! I am not sure if combobulation is a real word but I’ve heard it used and so I use it sometimes as well. And if it is not a word, oh well! I have just created a new word! Haha
