Because of annoying spam, and stupid people who feel the need to write in about how ugly or stupid I am, I'm deleting the guestbook from the site. If you need to reach me for some reason, feel free to use the links in the contact me section. I'm also going to be disabling comments on photos. Blog posts will still be available for comments, but that will be the only area of the site.
Thanks for your understanding-

Also, I've started working as an intern for Rabbit On The Run. Today is my second day, and so far it seems like it's going to be fairly amazing.

The photographs from my valentine expedition in Central Park are up. In the Photography album.
Also, I've divided up the Images section even further, separating art from photography.
I think this will make it easier to sort thorough.
Enjoy the oscars tonight!

I've added some new links to the website.
First, to Steve Craig- he makes some really interesting and beautiful collages. I'd recommend everyone check them out.
And then to Jess Thorsen- whose show in NYC I went to this past week. Her Oil Fires series (which is what I saw) is really amazing.

new poem
Hello all!
There's a new poem up on the poetry & fiction page. It's my first foray into writing in french. I'm sure my grammar is terrible!
Also there's not any accents because I couldn't figure out how to get them in the right spots. Still, I think you should be able to figure out what's going on....hopefully. :D

New York
I've been given an acceptance to Brooklyn College (part of The City University on New York), and will be heading to The Big Apple in december or january. I deferred my entry until the second semester so I would have time to plan my move. I'm really looking forward to being out on my own! (And to finishing my degree in one of my favourite cities!)
Back in the states- updates!
Being back from my month long educational holiday at The Royal Academy of Dramatic Art in London, I've started in on a few updates for the site. First off, I've updated my resume, which has really been needing a bit of a revamp. And within the next couple of days there will be some photos from London up in the gallery.
Enjoy!

Photos and the UK
There are some new photos in the gallery, as well as a new headshot up. I finally got around to replacing my old headshot, I've needed to for a while, ever since I dyed my hair blond last month.
Also, I have less than one month until I jetset off to London for a bit of Shakespeare training! There will be some pictures of my trip up (hopefully) pretty quickly after I get back. I'll keep you posted.

videos
Hello all!
Finally have a video section up for your enjoyment. Currently playing is the official trailer for Full Circle. The film is, as far as I know, still in post production. Post has been an unusually slow process due to changes in the production company's leadership. Check out the trailer and I'll let you know as soon as the film is finished!

Also, there should be a bit of just general clean up happening around here, once we get through all this, the site should be totally functional. We're finally almost done editing!

RADA
This summer, between 15 July and 8 August, I will be in London doing the RADA summer short course Shakespeare intensive. I'm looking forward to getting a taste of the English acting school experience, and also hopefully developing some hard core Shakespeare skills. After the summer course is over I'll be temporarily back in Oregon, while I decide if I should continue to pursue film or theatre. I want to focus in film I think, but since nothing can really be done until I'm back, I'll have to wait it out.

trips
I'm going to be in wonderful NYC from 2 March until 8 March 2008! I'm auditioning for the RADA, so wish me tons of luck!
I'm looking forward to going to The Met, MoMA, and The Shakespeare Garden (my favourite place in the city). And of course I'm looking forward to my audition!
I'm staying in Chelsea again, and I can't wait to get there! It'll be so nice to have some time to just be.
Then from 15 March to 24 March I'll be back in Portland. It's a very short trip so I'm making family a priority. But hopefully I'll be able to see some old friends!
-Natalie
More:
I have been super busy of late, and haven't been able to get as much on the site up and running as I would have liked. Hopefully once Twelfth Night gets on it's feet, and Loyola's spring break is over I'll be able to spend more time making the site even more awesome! Thanks for bearing with me.

Holiday Updates
The Holiday season is in full force! I'll be back in Oregon starting 16 December 2007. I'm looking forward to taking a break from classes, and working on my audition pieces.

It's going to be a whirlwind month!

P.S.
The renovations the site has been slowly undergoing are going to be postponed for a little bit. There's been a computer failure. They'll hopefully be happening again in the next week or two. Thanks for being patient!
