Gradamation. Er, wait..

Yeah, yeah. It was forever ago. But who cares! I finally have the time to post, so I'm gonna. Time not spent playing WoW anyway.

Finally got my computer in the shop, and it turns out the reason it was running so slow was that when I had to system restore it the last time--I installed Windows...over Windows. So it was totally bogged down.

Now let's try this whole picture thing again. Cross your fingers! -Clicks.-

Ah yes....walking down the aisle. I was last, of course. Darned last name!

My pastor...giving a little graduation sermon/charge thing. I dunno!

My parents and I!

Me and Nick. Gorgeous couple, as always. Our children will be models. ;P

We're sisters. Could you tell? Yeah, me neither. Hah!

Okay, okay. I guess I can't bring myself to take ALL of the glory. It was Emilie's 8th grade graduation too. She went IN to her 4 years of torture good ol' education just as I got out! Close call, eh? :P

Here are the parents with 'Milie dear.

Friends are awesome. :)
I love Emily for being there. She got me flowers and a Princess Bride themed Grad card (Inconcievable!)
None of my bestests (Square) were there. Britt had to work, Emily's sister got married, Keeley had to work.
(Inconcievable!)
But Nick's parents came too (Thank you!!!) and that was really sweet.

Awwwwwe. Graduated togeeeether. How cute.

If my computer didn't suck, I could show you my graduation speech video. Hahaha...Nathan recorded it. I received looots of compliments on it. The 3 other people who graduated with me either cried, talked forever or both. And mine was short, comedic and matter-o-fact. No sob-fest here. My youth pastor's wife, Jessica, was the first to say something. "Natalie, I loved your speech! You're a woman after my own heart. I swear, if you had got all mushy up there I would have been very disappointed." (Many to follow)
Anyway, it was a good day. Good time. Good Graduation. I'm glad to be out!

P.S.
The pictures uploaded 1 at a time when I shrunk them to practically nothing in MS Paint first. So sorry if they're kinda dingy, but...thas all I got for ya. Since I know the way to get around Blogger constantly giving me picture upload errors, there will be more posts VERY soon. Check back! And thanks for reading. <33

A short story.

"Each of her fingers made a small protest of impatience in turn. A steady and constant drum upon the wooden desk. Tap, tap, tap...no, not click. Not long enough fingernails. But a subtle pat as she rolled her knuckles to tap, tap tap again and again! Words that were picked up from nowhere decent rolled through her brain, but by some grace never escaped her lips. She released a long, bored sigh....And finally closed the program."

Like it? That's just a tiny piece of the NOVEL I wrote while waiting for Blogger to upload my pictures!!! Never happened. I waited for flippin' ever, man.... nothing! So I'm sorry again...and I'll try it again. But it was making me annngry. >;( Grr..

"Well, yes, we could read your blog...or you could just tell us about your school day."

Tuesday Maitenance.

First and foremost, a sincere apology for my blogging lag, dear readers! I've been thinking about you often, I swear, and even though I know you don't want to hear it, (or read it, I suppose) here's my excuse.

#1. Just cause I'm lame.
I've been kinda busy with...nothing, and just kinda didn't feel like it. Don't hurt meee!!

#2. I stole the Vader from the store.
So, my computer at home is totally busted concerning World of Warcraft, and even though $15 a month has been flushed down the crapper, none of that paid for playing time is coming in handy. I NEED to get it taken in and fixed buuuut... In the meantime I nabbed a computer from the store (Vader. Nate named it). Mom called this morning before I came to work like, "Natalie, you need to bring that back!" So maybe I'll get some blogging done. I miss my videogames. ::Sigh::

#3. That computer didn't have my picture programs.
I guess this could fit into the #2 catagory of bringing the vader home, but I didn't want to make that section any longer. Haha! So yes. Computer with pictures was unavailable. ('Cause I was playin' WoW. ::Snickers::)

That's about it. So here's a picture-less post because I'm making this one at the store while Mammy gets me my work set up. Teehee! Don't tell!

Things soon to come:
I got my photos from my friend, and i'll be showing you some of those silly scavenger pictures.
AND I totally graduated highschool like...last Friday! Details + pictures = soon to come!
