Can it be true??

This is my niece, Natalie.
(whom I ADORE.)
This picture is not in any way unusual.
She always just brings drama with her wherever she goes.
She can't help it.
She's an artist.
A tortured artist.
Like me.
(Only she's a thousand times more talented and I'm just, well... tortured. =D)
She's 17 today.
Seventeen??
How is that possible?
If she's 17, that would make me....
umm....older....too. ;-)
Happy Birthday, Natzinheimer!
