Those Little Details About Me

Salutations young people. Obviously you've managed to stumble upon my blog here. Welcome! :) So since I'm new at blogging and have somewhat of an idea of what I'd like to post about (working some ideas in my head that if I don't write down are doomed to be forgotten forever in the black hole that is my head) and am going to start with sharing a few things about myself that aren't very grand but make a huge difference in trying to express who I am and I believe that is important to share (that are not in the About section. Yes. I am aware I have one. I created it :P).

So lets begin with the basics! 

• My name is Natalie. Natt for short. I am seventeen years of age and am a senior in high school. I live in Southern California, a couple of minutes away from Los Angeles. I am five foot six, right about average height and weight one hundred and twenty pounds. I am the oldest of four children (Though it seems like there my own little annoying swarming children) My future major is Forensic Anthropology. (like the show Bones!)

• Throughout my life I have done a few things that I am proud of such as being to say that I have been dancing Folkorico for fourteen years. Yes that's right. I have been dancing since I was three. (Let me have my moment pleeease) Dancing is a passion that runs through my veins. I will always dance if I have the chance. I was going to audition to a dance high school but then realized dancing isn't really what I would like to pursuit as a future career. Maybe as something on the side, as a hobby. 

• I also have been in band for nine years. I play a hand full musical instruments; flute and guitar being my two main instruments. I also play the piano, some violin, and used to play the accordion. (Yes I am aware how hilarious that sounds. It wasn't my choice but still got something out of those lessons...no I didn't) I am in marching band. I am proud to say my band is ranked one of the top sixty bands in southern California. Yesssssssss. We attend every major parade in Southern California including Arcadia Band Review, a major milestone for my director and my school. PS. My best friend is Drum Major! Yay Alicia!

• I am also in a mariachi. Where I learned how to play guitar was in a little dusty garage with a 22 year old quirky lady. Her older sister teaches violin. And their youngest sister takes lessons from both of them. I play an instrument called a viduela, a smaller higher pitched guitar. We get gigs every once in a while and get our fair share of money out of it. Its a pretty sweet deal. I ended up creating a little family there for it was my sanctuary for some time. You know how family is: the loved sister, that hated person you never want to talk to, the know it all, and the rest that are too distant you really don't know all that well. Go figure.

Now this pretty much sums up my life up until now. These hobbies and school work take up all of my time really. (Which means I have some what of a life. Hooray for not being a total loser!) Now that I've told you wonderful people a bit about myself and completed my first blog post, like the procrastinator that I hate I am at times, I now must attempt to finish my summer assignment for my English AP class. Oh the wonderful life of an AP student. The Wuthering Heights here I come. Please be pleasant! *crosses fingers* 

Till the next time we meet lovely people <3
