well, hello there. i'm natalie...

what to say: i am starting to get ready to go to rome for the fall - starting to get excited and really nervous. i have an apartment in the palazzo farnese area with my friends brad and david... i guess we'll see how well three people do living in a one room [not one bedroom - npoe, it's just one whole room] for about four and a half months... updates on that situation to come starting on the 26th.

yeah, so, good/weird thing happened the other day... started talking to some friends that i grew up with in ksa, and suddenly, i have now contacted four very dear friends that i haven't spoken to/seen in an average of about 7 years. i'm really on a trip...it's pretty damn cool. i guess you never really know how much people mean to you until they're out of your life and you think that you'll never have them as part of your life anymore. ...

i am going to sleep now... here's some food for thought - an adult grizzly bear can decapitate a moose with one swipe of its paw. when it charges it can cover 100 yards in six seconds - faster than a racehorse.

sleep on that...
