Be very afraid....

School hasn't even started yet and I already have my first entry.

Horror Numero Uno:

What's in a Name Part Four?

If I were Native American, my name would be

Little Raindrop.

I'm short and I love the rain.

If I were Latina, my name would be

Natalia.

Actually, as it is, my name almost was Natalia. That's what JerBear wanted, but my familiy protested saying that they wouldn't know how to pronounce it so I became Natalie.

Another side note: Natalie means Nativity and I just happened to be born on April 7th, the day after Christ's real birthday. I think that's pretty cool!

And if I were Chinese, or say, learning Chinese at a camp for two weeks then my name would be

Lui Na Li!!!

That's right folks, for the next two weeks I am no longer Natalie Lewis, I am Lui Na Li!

Pretty snazzy eh?

(Don't ask me what this means, because I don't know.)

In other news:

Chinese is possibly the hardest language ever and it is definately the hardest thing I have ever attempted to learn. Two days in and I can already feel my head spinning!!!

Everyone have a great week!!!

Disneyland Uncovered

So I've mentioned several times that I, RatalieNose, have issues with Disneyland.

Several people have requested that I post about these issues.

But here's the thing, the majority of the beefs that I have with

The Happiest Place on Earth

all have to do with my own stupidity, idiocy, hypocrisy ect. ect.

So for the past month I've been trying to buck up the courage to write this.

But before I start I need ya'll to promise me two things:

1. That you won't think less of me after hearing what an awful person I am.

2. That you won't think I'm an idiot for making a mountain out of a molehill.

This stuff may not seem big to some of you, but to an extremely emotional teenage girl, this is BIG STUFF!!!

All right.

I'm ready.

Lets start with the less personal things.1. Look at this map! The place is HUGE right?

K, I'm five 2.

My legs are short.

And not muscular.

By the end of a day at this place, the lower half of my body is in MISERY!!!!!!

Not to mention, that I"m hot, sweaty and grumpy from lines longer than The Great Wall of China!!!!!

2. Last time I was there, I nonchalantly, got on the ride Indiana Jones.

I took off my back pack that had my:

1. Camera

2. Wallet

3. Money

4. And array of other personal items

in it and

FORGOT TO PUT IT IN THE HOLDER!!!!!!!!

SO GUESS WHAT???????

MY BAG FELL OFF THAT BLASTED JEEP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

OH PS THE CAMERA WASN'T EVEN MINE PERSONALLY!!!!!

Thankfully, due to many prayers, the ride broke down later and they were able to fish it out of the dark tunnel and I was able to retrieve it before heading home.

So, yeah, my fault.

But I"m still bitter.

3. Now my biggest issue with Disneyland,

isn't even Disneyland's fault at all.

It just happenED to take place there.

But it is the reason that I will forever have bitterness in my heart when I think of it.

I lost my best friend there.

No, we didn't get seperated physically.

No she didn't die.

But I made one of the biggest mistakes of my life and broke my best friend's heart.

Her name was Roxy.

(not really but too protect her personal life we shall call her that.)

She was hilarious, fun loving, trustworthy, loyal...everything you could want in a best friend!

She had a HUGE crush on Eric

(again, name change)

I knew how much she liked Eric.

I knew perfectly well.

And yet.

I flirted it up!

And not just like

"Oh tee hee stupid girl flirting"

But hard core touchy feely, constant flirting.

RIGHT IN FRONT OF HER!

I HELD HIS HAND!!!!!

MY BEST FRIEND'S DREAM BOY!!!!!

Needless to say....

Our friendship went out the window.

A qoute from Roxy:

"Natalie you were my best frined and I dont want a boy,of all things, to make us stop being friends. but I dont think that we can ever be as good of friends as we were, I trusted you alot, I would have put my life in your hands I trusted you so much. but I have lost my trust in you."

Yeah, I don't know about you, but reading that, even now two years later, that breaks my heart.

So there you have it.

Why Disneyland is not the Happiest Place on Earth for me.

P.S.

None of those girls are Roxy.

This picture was taken on the day I lost my backpack.
