About Me

I dont know how I got sucked into this virtual internet geek shite but if you really want a friend get to know your neighbors, local grocer, coffeehouse barista, gas station attendant, or florist. Just Say Hello-Deep Dish. Most of you know me as Natalie, or Nataliya, Talya, Ms. L (when I was substitute teaching), babybear, TQ, nattylite, prostahooch (a term of endearment of course), porkchop, crackhead (also a loving term), mayor of crazytown, bubba, cookie, shitbrick, nat-dog, hockeybitch, girly, pookiebear, tink, hey you, yo (my personal fav), and the list keeps growing. Men can be sooo incredibly charming! I've recently completed the Master of Public Health portion of a joint MPH/JD degree and now am attending law school in the middle of nowhere, Virginia. It's a bit unnerving but I'm set for the next chapter of my life to begin.Before the self-imposed academic imprisonment, I was a legal assistant downtown by day and a ballroom dance instructor by night. I miss my double life completely. I love the freedom, delirium, creativity, and the physical expression of human connection that only dance can afford. The ballroom is my canvas; it's where I feel most alive. Nothing, absolutely nothing, feels better than being swept off your feet. I was born in the moonlight to dance to the sunrise. I'm simply an enigma wrapped in a contradiction waiting for her 5 minutes of fame, lightning to strike, the tides to turn, and the next great adventure.

My Interests

"The actions of men cannot be measured with the staight ruler of the understanding, which is rigid. . . The imprudent scholars, who go directly from the universally true to the singular, rupture the inter-connections of life. The wise men, however, who attain the eternal truth by the uneven and insecure paths of practice, make a detour, as it is not possible to attain this by a direct road." (Giambattista Vico)

I'd like to meet:

An exotic foreigner who speaks nine languages, santa's elves, a cosmonaut, a secret agent, the tooth fairy, a professional ballroom dancer, willy wonka, & a prince who's really charming. . .

Movies:

Alladin * American Beauty * Anchorman * Bambi * Batman Returns * Beauty and the Beast * Blade * Blow * Boondock Saints * Bridget Jone's Diary * A Bug's Life * Casino * Cinderella * Closer * Crash * Dirty Dancing * Dumb and Dumber * Elf * Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind * Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas * Fight Club * Finding Nemo * Finding Neverland * Friday * Ghost * Gia * Girl Interrupted * Go * Gone in 60 Seconds * Grease * The Green Mile * Happy Gilmore * High Fidelity * Lady and the Tramp * Lion King * The Little Mermaid * Matrix * Meet Joe Black * Monsters, Inc. * Moulin Rouge * Much Ado About Nothing * Ocean's Eleven * Office Space * Old School * Oleander * Requiem for a Dream * Reservoir Dogs * Scarface * Sleeping Beauty * Snatch * Sound of Music * Sweet November * Swingers * Titanic * Top Gun * Vanilla Sky * Walk the Line * Wedding Crashers * What Dreams May Come * X-Men

Television:

"Never have we needed peace makers more. There is a peculiar horror in turning on radio or TV for the news and hearing about Christians fighting Moslems, or Catholics fighting Protestants, or Jews fighting Arabs." from Madeleine L'Engle's The Irrational Season. . . . . . . . . i heart the gieco gecko:

Books:

Alice in Wonderland * The Devil Wears Prada * One L * Pride and Prejudice * The Scarlet Letter * A Swiftly Tilting Planet * Trial & Error * A Wrinkle in Time

Heroes:

"It's the most breathtakingly ironic things about living: the fact that we are all-identical twins included-alone. Singular. And yet what we seek-what saves us-is our connection to others. . . The roundness of life's design may be a sign that there is a presence beyond ourselves." Wally Lamb
