Thierry: ”Dear Catherine,
Hum well,it’s a very embarrassing situation. There are many guys on all others blogs who wished to draw my attention to an hermaphrodite whose name could be Catherine. “This phenomenon usually says rubbishy purposes about Italy.” They said. For the interest of science, could you tell me more about it?
Yours Faithfully.”

Are you French? I apoligise and I dont mean to sound rude but I have absolutely no idea what it is you are saying or asking. I will gladly answer your question when I understand the question.

Dear Catherine,
By the way i’m french, and the question was : could you really be this hermaphrodite (like many people think)? Or could you have some information about it?
We would be grateful if you would send us full details about it or may be about your anatomy(your boobs for an example).
Your reply will be treated in the strictest confidence.

Yours sincerely,

Thierry,

oh! Sorry, I had completely misunderstood. I thought you were claiming I was saying nasty things about Italy on other blogs (which I wasnt).

So, to answer your question, no, I’m am not actually a hermaphodite at all. I am an ordinary woman. 24 years old. 163 cm. 115 pounds. long brown hair. I have all the regular body parts a woman would have (boobs, nose, eyes, hips, waist, two legs, etc.).

I have never yet in my life impersonated a man. The posts from Canada under any other anme than Catherine were not from me.

Does this answer your question?

P.S. I hadnt addressed the hermaphodite issue prior to this email because I didnt take it seriously and thought it was a joke…

Shame yourself and your racist views. ANd if you think you are funny then I laugh AT you.

TO Football.

The one good point you have made is that Holland was the bright point of WC 98. Other then that your posts have been anywhere from weird to idiotic.

Hello Catherine,

Hi go football,

I know! We had a real laugh about that on the Veni Vidi Vici blog. You and I speak very differently and yet, are the same person (apparently there is only one available computer in Canada and apart from our hockey team and a few polar bears, only one actual person, neither man or woman, hermaphodite. LOL!)

On another blog a couple of people were trashing Canadians. I cant help but wonder how ignorant people are in other parts of the world. I live in Montreal, so I cant remember the last time I met someone who actually wasnt from somewhere else (Middle East, African, Haiti, Romanian, French from France, etc.) What really is a Canadian now? Do they live in the prairies only? And, on that same thought, when these individuals are dissing our country, arent they also dissing their own bred of culture living here (i.e. English, Irish, French, Italian etc.)?

Anyhow, nice to meet you go football. Are you also from Mtl? If so, i am convinced we are the same person as there is only one computer in the city LOL.

Oh and by the way,

Thank you for your invite! I’m currently renovating my igloo. I’m afraid I cant make it for now since I’m preparing for the polar bear migration at the end of November.

They are coming montreal to form their own hockey team LOL

Leafs blow.

1967 is the last time they won the cup! two years before man landed on the moon. Pathetic. They are the Spain of hockey.

Well, I love the Leafs anyways! I think they are one of the most exciting teams to watch. I also like Vancouver, Philedelphia (go Forsberg!) and the Red Wings.

the New Jersey/Leafs game last night was hot! hot! hot!

The weekend will be good. Tomorrow: it’s hockey night in Canada =)

You are right – very exciting playoffs!

As for Soccer, the new SoccerItalia just came out. Really interesting. They are predicting Inter for the Scudetto and Champion’s league as the best perfoming Italian team… what do you all think of that?

Ach, mein Gott!
