Oh hello! I’m Natalie, and I’m rather surprised that you’re here. Damn. That means I’ve got to write something, doesn’t it? I guess we’ll start with a list, because I’m rather partial to lists

• i love lists
• I’m 17
• I live in southern california (around the LA area)
• I can make the most spot-on chicken sound you’ve ever heard in your life
• That’s not a joke I swear to god it will change your life
• I’m a (community) college lady
• I want to be an English teacher; consequently, I’m majoring in English.
• Special talents include reading really quickly, melting souls with a single glare, and taking selfies that make me look a lot more attractive than I actually am
• Like I’ve already said, I’m a liberal-atheist-feminist-ravenclaw-filthy hippie, and you can expect my posts to reflect that
• Everything I say is funny
•  I have three very wonderful younger siblings (a brother & two sisters) who are all a lot cooler than I am
• My whole family is actually pretty great
• I also have a boyfriend who’s way better than yours and whom I love very much
• and obviously my best friend is the greatest, most wonderful ever
• I own over 250 books
• My entire personality can be summed up by the fact that my two main career choices are English teacher and makeup artist
• I love Regina Spektor and W. H. Auden and writing and cold green tea and potatoes and gardening and the woods and winged eyeliner
• (that is not a comprehensive list)
• I’m very sarcastic and I generally adopt a polite but wholly detached attitude when dealing with other people
• This is partially because I’m extremely shy but mostly because I don’t really like other people very much
• On tumblr I’m much more pleasant though, so please don’t feel shy about messaging me for any reason!
• I’ve got depression (dysthymia, specifically), a little bit of anxiety induced by said depression, and an EDNOS. I use trigger warnings, but please be careful!
• I don’t really like myself very much
• except my boobs my boobs are fantastic.
• I make the greatest hot chocolate on earth
• I’m pretty much a mom trapped in a 17 year old’s body
• I make THE BEST faces ever
• ever ever ever
• I have this picture of David Hasselhoff taped next to my bed
•
