About Me

Well, I’m Natalie. I can’t really be explained in a box, then again who can? but I will make an attempt. I'm an idealist according to a test. But i'm just fine with that. I'm going off to college this coming fall and i'm not ready for it. I'm probably going to major in Music - vocal performance or English, and minor in Art/Graphic Design. I'll be doing lots of traveling in Europe too! God is amazing, there are no words to describe how much I need him in my life. Dead to sin, alive in Christ! The purpose of life is to glorify Him. I'm quite shy actually, but bubbly and loud once you crack me open. I hang out with boys a lot. Just cause they are more fun. Other things I am passionate about are singing, I love singing, sing, sing, sing, everywhere, all the time. It is my root and first love. Art I love too. Yes arts and crafts, and music. Music has a way of sucking my emotions in and leaving me speechless. My favorite instruments are cello, guitar, paino, mandolin, djembe,and stand up. I really really love traveling. It get's me so excited. Europe is one of my favorite places. Particularly London – it will be my home someday. I have convinced myself I was born on the wrong continent. But anyway, different countries and their culture and traditions I love. I love to do musicals, act, and perform. I love my silly friends too. I could spend hours in bookstores. I love early mornings, when I wake up feeling rested for some reason, and no one else is up, and just taking a moment to breathe and absorb the beautiful things God has blessed me with. I love adventures – I’ve discovered that the best places are found this way. One of my many dreams is to play the piano or guitar and sing in Gloucester Cathedral;the streets of Europe too. I’m an only child. I don’t like using swear words. I’m in a vocal jazz group at my school called Beyond the cross, and I really love it dearly. I live in my own world of imagination. I edited my profile with Thomas' Myspace Editor V4.4



My Interests

There's so much! My BFF Jesus is first for sure. I am nothing without Him. Singing definently is in the top, it's my first love. I love traveling as I said. Europe Europe Europe! I love drawing and sketching. Sewing and making knick knacks and such. I’m hooked to decoupaging and collaging. Painting. Photography. Music. The structure of music. Music Theory (I guess..ha). Instruments. Cellos. Jam Sessions! Drum and guitar circles! Piano - 9 years. Guitar - always learning more. I like playing the djembe too. Nature and gardens. History – I have no idea why I like history so much. Interior design is really neat. Writing – music and poems mainly. Bookstores. Reading, I’m not the best reader, I’m quite slow, but I like it nonetheless. Imagination. Creativity. Innocence. Laying in open fields. People and finding out their stories. Making music jokes that no one understands. Thinking. I like politics a lot. What's going on in the world: Global Warming, war, society, etc.. Gentle souls. I love gloomy days and rain, possibly because it makes the world seem smaller. Theology and learning more about Christ. Faries and Fairytales. Vintage shops, flea markets, and unique trinkets. Making fun of Willibald Gluck and Bob Dylan. I like collecting vogue’s from different countries and just things from different countries in general. Being taken away from reality – but I do understand what reality is. Harry Potter!! Perfect moments – I believe they are made by music. No drinking no smoking for me - I don’t understand it, it’s not fun and gross. I love my school, it is my second family. I refuse to conform to what society wants me to be. Lately i've been thinking how huge the world is, that sometimes i feel so insignifigant, and do i need myspace to make me feel like i'm someone? Is that why we all ultimately have one? Do i let it define me? ehhh. Check out my cousins flickr on her page! She's a pretty amazing photographer, if you need pictures let me or her know!

Do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God's will is. His good, pleasing and perfect will." - Romans 12:2Europe :)
