I'm really excited! I'm excited about all this new things. Last semester some of us have discovered this totally new way of writing texts. Personally, I am thrilled by the thought that I can write about something I want to learn more about and capture it in a blog post. This way I can share my thoughts and (hopefully!) others can share their thoughts with me. For me, this is a little adventure and I like to call myself an English adventurer.
Last semester my first post on Posterous was one introducing myself. I'll re-post it here...
Hi there, may I introduce myself...
...I'm Natascha, also known as Nati, and I'm 19 years old. I'm a Sagittarius and my favourite colours are red and turquoise. My greatest passions are dancing, eating, the theatre, English and reading. Drawing and painting used to be my passions as well but unfortunately it is a quite time-consuming hobby and my attention to it shrunk to a minimum.
I love music (who doesn't??) and from now on I'll post all the songs I was listening to while writing my "free post" blog entry at the bottom of my post. This way you'll get to know me and my taste of music. I do not play any instrument, though. Actually I tried to play the piano when I was 15 but it occurred that I'm not very talented and I lost my interest. Anyway, music is a great part of my life as I dance a lot and obviously music is quite important in this case.
I was born in Tirol but I grew up in Graz. Graz is my hometown and just the best city in the whole wide world. I definitively want to go abroad for some time, but I just can't imagine leaving Graz.Another thing I can't live without is food. Yes, I know it is an essential thing for a human being like me but I mean I really, really love eating. Lasagna, ice cream, pancakes, salad, chocolate, strawberries, cookies, pizza...I could continue this list endlessly, but I think you've got an idea now about my eating habits. Any questions? :) Feel free to ask, I'll answer gladly!!!

Let's analyse this post, shall we?
There are a few things that have changed since last October. Firstly, I'm 20 now but still a Sagittarius, my favourite colours are still red and turquoise and I still love eating. What is different, though, is my attitude towards never leaving Graz and leaving Austria. From time to time, I find myself thinking about building up my life in another country. However, this won't happen before I've finished my duties here in Graz, that is mainly uni. And who knows? Maybe my attitude will change again as it always does.
What is going to change is that I probably won't write the music list below the posts anymore. Except someone insists on it, then I will gladly share the songs with you I'm listening to while writing a post.
The last thing I want to share with you is not a song this time but something similar. It's a ballad by Samuel Taylor Coleridge who is an English poet. The poem is basically about an old mariner who tells his strange tale to a groom. If you want to know what the tale is about, simply listen to this reading. I really like the YouTube channel called 'SpokenVerse' because the reader has a gorgeous, dark and husky voice and every time I'm too lazy to read a poem on my own I usually search it on this channel. What I should probably mention here is that this is not the actual way of speaking in the 19th century but Coleridge used an artistic, ancient language in his poem to create the impression the ballad was written in ancient times. Enjoy!
uuuuuh, it always makes me shudder!!!
btw: happy World Peotry Day! :)
