Rating Scale

Addressing the unasked question:

There are two reasons I have decided to put a rating scale on my two blogs:

1. Because my arts-and-crafts blog is youth friendly

B) In case I write anything here that is too personal for sensitive family members to read. You have been warned. I am searching for myself, not looking to place blame, but I have to speak my own truth. And this is where I will do it.
(Oh, and I love swears)

From the 'you can't make this shit up' department:

Looking for some art supplies the other day, I accidentally found my 'diary' from around my 13th birthday.
The day of my birthday, which it seems that 13 was a big deal to me at that time, was a boring Tuesday. My birthday being so close to Christmas, I knew the drill, my birthday was often boring itself (especially on a Tuesday), but the overall season of birthday-Christmas was always great.
The entry on my birthday was short, so I couldn't help read it when I found it.
I signed my name Natalie.
