Happy day after the day after the day of Christmas.
Tomorrow joylynn and belicia and joanne and I are going to go to far east to try put together a costume for omega night, failing which, I shall just go as myself, which is perfectly acceptable because I am iconic.
I win, hands down. No arguing about that.
And since everyone wants more of the cookies that Joanne and I baked for christmas, I shall disclose the very, very, so-secret-we-keep-it-in-a-heavy-duty-vault-and-lock-it-up secret recipe:
For very nice christmas cookies:
1. Get loads of flour.
2. Pour it in with an equal amount of water and yeast.
3. Watch it expand.
4. Taste it. (this part is absolutely compulsory) add salt if you think it's not sweet enough. Cookies work by reverse psychology.
5. Dump the whole thing, go to the nearest Famous Amos and get a cookie, and take this as a lesson never to trust Natalie again.
Anyway I'm in the process of spring-cleaning my room, and I've decided to pursue greater literary works by dumping all my teen chick lit books, so if you want anything by 1. Jaqueline Wilson 2. Meg Cabot or anything else that I have ask me.
Oh, and everyone, meet emo orange.

And emo banana.
Complete with emo specs!
And to end it all off, I must say that this -> http://community.livejournal.com/sgsale/14198881.html is the smartest shirt I have ever seen.

Cookies so cute they make you want to lick your screen.

Merry christmas five days in advance!
I think cookies will make a good christmas present for everyone, only that
1. I can't bake
2. Grace Chan is probably going to be doing that
So I have devised a theory which I call the Natalie Christmas Theory.
Instead of your friends giving you thoughtless and unpersonal? impersonal? inpersonal whatever gifts like candles and carved soap and more soap, demand that your friends each give you the money they would spend on the gift instead of the gift itself.
So suppose you have 30 friends, and they each give you 10 dollars, you will have
30 x 10 = 300 freaking dollars.
But then again, you can also have 15 really rich friends that give you 20 dollars each, and you get
15 x 20 = 300 fast easy money!
So instead of getting 30 candles/soap/bath towels etc., you get money to spend however you wish.
Not only does this method make everyone happy, it also teaches you how to make friends! Looking at the above two situations, the amount of money you get depends on
1. The amount of friends you have
2. The richness (?) of each friend
So choose friends wisely! Or make sure you make a lot of friends during the month of advent and drop them like a hot potato thereafter!
And instead of wasting time on finding meaningless yet gift-friendly gifts, you can just save time and give them money instead, but that won't be impersonal because you're banking on the idea that
"I'm a true friend, and true friends know that the best christmas present is one that you can choose for yourself."
How touching!
And this method is quite similar to the chinese new year hongbao concept, i.e. parents give out money, kids act cute and try to retreive money back. So logically speaking, it's a good way to get money out of your parent's pockets. See, that's why the Chinese are so practical!
Remember the true christmas spirit- the one that gets the most out of it wins!
Eeep I sound so superficial. Ah, whatever.
