hectic

things have been kinda hectic.  

i have just been coming home and crashing all week, i am so tired! working with kids really drains you, but its totally worth it.  so much fun.

so anyways, my life is currently pretty boring so i dont really have anything to say.  oh but there is this really fun website that i love i cant decide

you type in 2 choices and then people vote while you answer 5 other peoples questions and then you get your results.  you can also just vote 

its so much fun and helps sometimes.  and the good thing its non biased opinions from real people! not plastic toys, although never doubt the power of the magic 8 ball (that is of course until it tells you your best friend is going to come over and then they come up with an excuse and totally stand you up!) but that is neither here nor now and that never happened to me...

magic 8 ball is right about 90% of the time.  its crazyy

allright i have to go take a shower, my hair is gross.  then i have to get a new facebook picture and then PROJECT RUNWAY! 

bam

sorry

for the next few days posts might be spotty.  so im apologizing in advance 

im sorry

and also apologizing for not posting yesterday, i came back from warped tour, which was by the way totally amazing.  

a combo of the best things in life:

band t shirts

live music

boardwalk food

and last and deff not least, in fact probably most importantly, 

hott skater guys

so that was really fun.  

but as i said in the beginning of the week, im totally busy all week

today im going to see my cousin who just flew in from vegas and i will be with her tonight

then tomorrow, DARK KNIGHT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

(duh)

saturday is a bachelorette party (rocklympics, im freddie mercury)

so anyways, i have to go to work now considering its 7:50 and im still not even dressed...

until when i can post again:

radio

sorry to rip you off brennan, but you sparked a thought that has been brewing for a while and you gave me an idea to write about.

so esentially, there is no good radio station out on the normal radio, XM, i dont know about but normal FM there is nothing but crap on all day.  

i tend to listen to 99.5 but only for up to like 20 minutes because otherwise the same 5 songs get boring considering thats all they play. 

and i am not really accepting of other peoples music taste.  i can accept pop, old school rap (kind of) some hip hop, rock, jazz, a little classical, acoustic, and a few others

but the thing i do not accept is completely rap and hip hop.  come on people widen your spectrum.  be diverse with your music!

bands to check out:

the virgins

honeyhoney

jurassic 5

albert hammond JR

the shins

the alternate routes

rocco deluca & the burden

matt wertz

brett dennen

traffic jam marmalade  

matt nathanson

jim gaven

tim blane

kate voegele

regina spektor

rachael yamagata

ray lamontage 

jacks mannequin

forever the sickest kids

every avenue

a cursive memory

we the kings

stephen kellog & the sixers

metro station

anchorage

the fratellis

jason mraz

dave matthews band

swell season 

the kooks

cold war kids

adele

and thats alot so i dont want to overwhelm you.  thats a fairly small spectrum of music but i dont want to overwhelm you, so just check them out.  some of them are smaller and are just starting out so support them, buy a CD

and even better some of them have concerts, even better to hear them live i bet...!

check them out

v (peace)

w (double peace)

and so begins

the best week out of the whole summer.  

sunday: john mayer

monday: new camp session 

tuesday: chillin with alex

wednesday: warped tour and DARK KNIGHT!!!!!!!!

thursday: my cousin comes in from vegas

friday: possibly going to see wanted

saturday: bachelorette  party (rock-lympics)

and so im super psyched

sorry that my posts have been a little shorter this past week or so, i have just been going out like every night and getting home late and then just being like bleh and totally falling asleep 

and right now im time rushed beause i have to stop by a birthday party for a 3 year old before heading to my friends house to go to john mayer but before that we are going to tysons where i cant spend any money because then i wont have money to buy t shirts at warped tour, but i want t shirts from john mayer but i also need money for tickets to see the dark knight...

hjdgflkhlg

i need money.  

end of story

i wish money really did grow on trees, but no, its cloth

im going to go look for some money now,

so peace out for now

wackness

the title is in reference to the movie

its pretty decent

go see it.  at the landmark in bethesda because that theater is the shit. 

so anyways. i was thinking today, i wish that showing your bra was socially acceptable.  i mean really how different is it than a bathing suit.  it covers the same thing in basically the same way, so whats the big deal?

i mean why is it so trashy to show your bra straps or the cups of your bra?

i understand why it looks bad to show the back when you are wearing a backless dress, thats just a fashion no no. but in general, bras should be ok to show.  

that is all

~Natasha

different

so today i finished watching lars and the real girl

great movie by the way. 

but it got me thinking about how interesting it would be to know someone with a delusion of that sort.  i want to know how someone views the world, how different people see things.  like little kids, and people with mental illnesses.  i want to get inside of peoples heads. (not in a creepy way) just to know how many different ways there are to view things out there intrigues me so much.  like im working at camp, and these kids draw things so differently and talk about things in a whole different light, and they are so open, and its just crazy to think about it.  like they are so new, with only a few years of life experience and to think about how they interpret things just really amazes me.  i wish i could be a 5 year old again and know what they know, and see the world as they see it. 

walk a mile in another persons shoes...

~Natasha

apologies

sorry i dont really have a post today...im just super tired, i have to get up tomorrow early for apprentice breakfast, and then final performance is tomorrow (STRESSFUL!!!!!!) and i just want to go to sleep.

love you all, but sleep is necessary

~Natasha

words

pick a song, listen to the lyrics, take in its message

birthday

its not my birthday today just in case you were wondering...

thats not till february. 

so anyways, but i was thinking about birthday parties...i mean people still have them but its just so different

i mean kids birthday parties were so much fun 

not that teen parties arent, its just, a different feel

whatever happened to mad scientist parties?

~Natasha

belated fourth

happy fourth of july 

belated of course,

the best way to do it.

the only way.  

i just got too wrapped up in the festivities...

and i posted a happy fourth on brennan's blog, and stupidly didnt post one on my own!

weird...

well right now im getting ready to go to a party!! yay

hooray for 3 day weekends, even though i love my kids at camp.  

but i cant really think of a  good topic to start off with today, so i guess ill just say something that totally ruined my day:

scientist have discovered 2 snowflakes, that are exactly alike...

...

...

...

I KNOW!!!

so let that sit, think about it.  its craaaazzzzyyyy

and i have to go now

~Natasha

5 minutes till midnight

5 minutes till midnight, so i have 5 minutes to post this before its too late

ahhhhhhh!!!!

random things:

-all those supposedly hidden written "sex" (the stars in lion kind, the sand in Aladdin...) those all actually say SFX and were put in by the sound company

-the beast in beauty and the beast, his real name is adam.  you think you knew that but they never actually say it in the movie

-walt disney was apparently a very bad man...(source not reliable)

-hancock is not that good of a movie unless you are an 8th grader

-personalized m&ms are expensive

-duct tape rings are uncomfortable

-reprise is a good movie

-chicken caesar sandwich at cosi is good

-carrots are fun

-maureen johnson is a good author, and has more books published than i originally thought

-people shoot off fireworks the day before the fourth of july in bethesda

-norwegian is a cool language

and im out of time

~Natasha

secrets

secrets are no fun unless they are shared with everyone

which is true unless its your secret....

but the rule still applies.  

i just hate it when people are blatantly keeping something from you, or like whispering about something that you did while you are right there...its just rude.  

this subject is kinda self explanatory and fairly dull/dead.

and im dead too

im so tired. 

so im going to crash

ill write more tomorrow

~natasha

back in business

hopefully i can get back into the groove of things this week in terms of posting every day. so considering its kinda late a i have a few things to do before i go to sleep im going to make this post relatively short.
movies:
so today i spent a good chunk of time watching movie trailers. there are actually a decent number of movies out relatively soon, which is a HUGE relief, considering the fact that all the movies that are currently out are complete and total shit. with the exception of Wall-E, Wanted, Get Smart...and thats all i can remember now.
but dont mess with the zohan...seriously, i heard that its so stupid its not even worth seeing. this is the not the reaction that people should be having to movies. seriously movies are a time when you can sit down and enjoy the product off someone elses work like going to an art gallery. or if you are a fan of PDA, then the movies is a dark room to make out...personally i prefer to actually watch the movies...
which brings me to my next point, movie ticket prices. $10.50 seems to be the average price
seriously!? i mean come on, for the crap that you are putting out, you cannot expect us to pay that much money for a fucking piece of cardboard paper.
this makes me mad.
back to the PDA for a moment, some people are just so outright weird/gross about it. like if you are sitting next to people, dont do it. where as if you are in the back of the theater alone, knock yourself out...but like if people can see you, and if there alot of people...thats just weird. and there are some movies where its just weird too. like horror films, really? do you really really need to hook up in that second? is it that necessary? i mean if you are into weird stuff, go to the woods or something, find a log to sit on. its private provided you dont run into any unsuspecting hikers. but also, i wouldnt want to waste $21 on movie tickets, to not even see the movie. its not worth it. its like paying $21 for a motel room where people can see you having sex...not a good deal.
recommendations:
pineapple express
choke
the other mistress
college

allright so my time is up for the day,
