Hello QL Readers! My name is Natalie and I am actually not a big blogger. I guess you could say I prefer being on the reading end of the blog-o-sphere ;).
am originally from Green Bay, Wisconsin and I moved out to California when I met my loverman on an online game. Yes. I kid you not. Romantic, eh? I am 21 and have plans to go back to school for one of my passions as soon as I decide which is my favorite and as soon as I save up a bit more. It just so happens that Violet's husband is my boyfriend's best friend, and so I actually got to know Violet via Facebook before I even moved out here. I am proud to say that she is now one of the closest friends I have, and with that I would like to start my list:

________
652. No snow in the California winters, mostly because the already crazy maniac drivers would probably make me never want to drive again if there was snow in the equation as well.
653. Body wash that smells great, but is manly smelling enough that my boyfriend will use it. (WITH A PLASTIC LOOFAH. AWW YEAH! It's blue, by the way.)
654. Journals when I am having a hard time sorting out my emotions. You'd be surprised how good you feel after you vent in writing.
655. Meeting my boyfriend in an online game. Falling in love over the internet. Coming to visit once. And knowing he is the one. <3
656. Obscene pastry names that give me a good laugh. Such as "Muffies" from Panera. (They are actually muffin tops. ;P)
657. Clip on earrings for girls like me who are too scared to get their ears pierced.
658. Any song by Queen. Fantastic mood pickeruppers. :)
659. Having a man's opinion. Sometimes it's needed, sometimes it's not. But it is always good to have a different perspective to an issue.
660. Online Gaming. My all time favorite hobby. It keeps me entertained for hours!
661. Finally having a job even though it took a while to get it.
662. Family that loves me no matter where my life takes me, and no matter what decisions I make.
663. The Green Bay Packers. 'Nuff said.
664. Those moments when you realize you're being impatient, and can stop and relax before you get too worked up.
665. Babies. Mostly because they can bring out a side of someone you didn't even know existed. It's a beautiful thing to see. :)
666. Being fortunate enough to be able to have second helpings of my favorite food.
667. Having people in my life who give thoughtful sincere gifts, even if it is just a home made card.
668. Having my birthday around the Thanksgiving holiday. It is like having a celebratory feast!
669. Clean, decent smelling, public restrooms.
670. Video chat with my mom. <3 It helps me stay in touch with her and everyone back home. Check out that drawn on moustache... aww yeah!
671. The fact that there is a Hello Kitty version of literally ANYTHING you can think of. Guilty obsession.
672. Board games. They make meeting and getting to know people easier and less awkward.
673. The internet. Really this is a love/hate relationship because I can go both ways on this. But it is really handy if you need specific information NOW or if you are trying to get a hold of someone that you lost touch with long ago.
674. IKEA. Cheap furniture. Sweet designs. Delicious meatballs. I believe that sums it up.
675. Fresh starts. Sometimes clean slates are just what you need. Lift that weight off your shoulders, baby, and move on!
651. I am thankful for having a great friends so far from home, one which goes by the name of Stephanie V.

Oh, my dear Natty! She came to me at a time when I really needed a friend and we've been close ever since. Matt and Dustin have known each other since middle school and they've been very good friends ever since. Matt is a closet nerd (but in a good semi-hot way.. I say semi-hot because he's like a brother to me and this Momma doesn't dig brother-sister relations. Eww.) and Natalie is an even bigger nerd (in a good way!), so he's free to be himself with her. Their love is amazing. Perfect. Meant to be. And it's all thanks to EQ2. All hail the nerds! We're taking over the world!
Also, may you have the strength to control your weeping due to the eye-watering cuteness of my boy.
Did you make it through that? Brave... very brave.
Xo,
Violet
:) love you dearly, lady. <3
