A Breath of Change

As you can tell I've changed my blog. it's strange how I went from someone who only joined blogspot because her friends forced her to, to a girl who relied on this site to get things off her chest and make friends.
At first I wasn't going to use this thing at all, I didn't really see a point and expected people to just magically find my blog, but then I discovered I was moving and realised that because of my lack of 'Facebook' and 'Twitter' this was the only way to communicate with my friends. ever.
It's also a really nice place to make friends and get to know other people, reading you're posts and getting great feedback from my own posts make me feel great. thank you guys <3

My other blog feels kind of childish to me, so after consulting with my friends they helped me change it to look better and I gave it a funky title from one of my favourite books.

i hope you guys enjoy reading my blog, and finding Natallie crazy.

I'm Coming Home

I’m back! And sorry I didn’t tell you where I went, I actually wrote a post and posted it but my computer must have stuffed up and failed to do so, hence leaving you guys scratching your heads and wondering whether I’ve left Blogspot for good or I’ve just been lazy with my posts.
So I’ve been over seas visiting my distant {but not very distant} relatives in Greece, which, if the post actually went on you would have all already known about. But that’s okay since it was my fault you can blame it all on me.

It was actually my cousin’s wedding. It’s funny because I haven’t actually met him before; I’ve never actually been out of the country before.

They had a very traditional Greek wedding with dancing, funky music. The food was delicious and I had so much fun getting dressed and made pretty, they made me feel like it was actually my wedding which I was attending.
I learnt a view dance moves but I didn’t get to stay around for the after-party because apparently everybody gets drunk and go around playing Greek roulette and smashing stuff.

I didn’t stay long in Greece after that, just two weeks and I spent most of my time taking my nephew, two lovely little girls named Janet and Jamie to the beach and fixing up their dresses. They’re very tomboy; they were also on holidays there with my sister who spent most of her time with her nose in a book.

The scenery was all lovely and I spent most of my time drawing pictures which I am too shy to put onto here.
I really didn’t want to leave but I was getting a bit homesick. I missed my friends, my dogs, Casper and Loonie, and my computer and social networking sites.
I was really glad to be back at first but now I just miss it all, I miss the donkeys which just wander around everywhere, the beach, my cousins and my sarcastic uncle-in-law. I wish that I was there again, but right now I’m happy here.
