Basic Info

Name:	Natalie

Bio

I'm just a humble 22 year old girl who is somewhat confused about life, what to do with it, and the people in it.

Coda
"There's little in taking or giving,
There's little in water or wine;
This living, this living, this living
Was never a project of mine.
Oh, hard is the struggle, and sparse is
The gain of the one at the top,
For art is a form of catharsis,
And love is a permanent flop,
And work is the province of cattle,
And rest's for a clam in a shell,
So I'm thinking of throwing the battle -
Would you kindly direct me to hell?"

~ Dorothy Parker

Personal Testimonials

"Natalie is not just another faceless person on LiveJournal; she is one of my most beloved! She is as real as they come, and every fiber of her being shines through in her effervescent entries. Her entries are always a treat to read: her happiness is catching, her thoughts are always worthwhile, and her sadness is something more timeless than the angst that is so prevalent these days. Her generosity, caring nature, and witty charm are ageless. She could have walked out of a storybook or a fairy tale -- but no. She is a real and genuine friend and I am truly privileged to know her." - amea

"Natalie has become one of my closest and dearest friends, online or off. Her curiosity and thirst for knowledge is fascinating, not to mention inspiring. This is one smart girl! She is genuinely sweet, compassionate, and generous. But don't mess with her. If you do, you'll have me to deal with." - choebe

"Although she may seem to be made of sugar upon first glance, the ingredients that make up Natalie are many and great. She's got the spice of a witty individual without the meaness, the intelligence without pretension, and most of all, sprinkles of love and light. If you add her you'll be happy you did, she's truly one of the best treats of lj land." - palefire

"Natalie is a very thoughtful and creative person, talented in everything from creating drool-worthy icons to beautiful fairy dolls that make you wonder how she does it! She has a gift of writing about her life in a way that makes it interesting for even casual aquaintences to read. One thing I especially appreciate about her journal is that in reading it you are never bogged down by tons of angry or static entries, but she has a nice variety of thoughtful, newsy, and fun entries so you never get bored! And once you get to know her better, you get to see how kind she is, someone who will go out of their way to make your day brighter." - crystallia

"Even though I only know Natalie over livejournal, I realize that I'm lucky to have met her. She is one of the kindest, most considerate people I know, and her journal entries are bound to make me smile. Not to mention she's a major Disney fan, which is always a huge plus in my book. :) " - girldrowning

"When you come across Natalie, its hard not to notice her kind and giving nature. Natalie is always there for her friends, as her friends mean the world to her. She would do anything for her friends. Natalie is also a very strong and interesting individual - full of classic charm, intellectual wit, and fun creativity. The amount of knowledge that she holds is just amazing, which inspires knowledge onto others. Natalie is just an all around wonderful person, and I'm so glad that I have the pleasure of knowing her." - jupiter_box

"Natalie is teh awesome. Seriously." - k_diddy

"What is there to say about Natalie? She is royalty, not only because of her username, but in her actions. Natalie has a magic that radiates from her, even through a computer screen. Her words are inspiring, and they touch the soul. She cares deeply for her friends, is kind, and passionate about the things in life that she loves so much. When you read her journal, no matter what she has written, you come away appreciating the little things in your own life. Natalie is a very special person, there aren't even the right words in the world to describe her. I feel very blessed to call her one of my closest friends, even though it is the internet, and you should too." - _singtothesky
