Wildwood Vacation Review

On a scale of one to ten my vacation was about a four. Everything I liked there was an exception to, or someone did something to completely wipe out all my liking for something.
I really liked the beach, although it was long and took forever to walk along I had a lot of fun just sitting, listening to my Zune and looking at the ocean. But, I got really bad sunburn (as usual) so it completely killed my happiness as far as the beach goes because I was in so much pain. Not to mention I got a weird rash all around my foot, which itches. I've had it before and it led to sun poisening, but I don't think this one is so bad.
I really liked this pizza, Macks. It was a lot different then you'd expect and I loved how thin it was. I usually hate thin pizza but this one was amazing. But, my sister felt the need to drip grease all over herself and myself. Which led to my good pants, stained. I hate her eating habbits with a passion.
The room we stayed in was so nice. It was very different and cutesy. But, my sister and I got the sucky room. Sucky meaning, no cable, so my sister and I had to resort to watching, stupid and annoying shows like Celebrity Circus (whoever came up with the idea of "celebrities" doing circus stuff was on something), America's Next Comedian, Baby Borrowers, and a whole bunch of other stupid shows. We also got stuck on a small pull-out couch. My sister and I both didn't fit so someone always ended up falling on the floor. Luckily, since we were so bored we made a huge pile of towels, and clothing for the other person to fall in.
We got the computer, so I was able to update my MySpace, write blogs, and check Jonas stuff, sadly the computer died. Therefore, no more fun.
Lastly, my stepmom came. Nuff said. Right before we left, Mina did her usual Minaism thing. She decided hey, let me start some drama. I was packing the car, by MYSELF while she sat in the air conditioned car. She was cutting people off, and making excuses about it. (Blah, I almost hit a man, blah), which really is just an example of how bad of a driver she is, and I was kind of being a smart ass and rolling my eyes, making fun of her, etc. Then she said "something to say Natalie?" and that set me off. I put stuff in the trunk, well put not a good word, threw stuff in the trunk. When my dad came out from checking out he asked how things were going. I was so bad I said; "Not good, because your wife's not helping me!" After I said it I instantly regret it. She got out of the car and I mean slammed it shut. She was about to yell at me but my dad stopped her.
Then she left. This is a usual Mina thing to do. She's done it a couple times when we were in Florida. My dad then had a panic attack. She screamed and yelled and pretty much scared my sister who sat in the back crying. Since my dad looked like he was about to kill me and my sister I called Mina. But she was not coming back. Lucky for her she could yell at dad and not be scared she would be hit. Finally she came back and my dad made my punishment even more hectic. She sat me next to her in the car for three hours.
I haven't spoken to Mina since, nor do I hope I ever will. I hate her, and I don't understand why my dad seems to think I ever will like her. He keeps pushing me towards her and I don't want it. There's nothing more I hate then when parents try to push you towards something. Especially something you don't want. But that's what he's doing and I don't think he realizes how much it hurts me.
Finally. I'm done. That was the last straw.
Love times a million,
Nat.

Overall Jonas Weekend Review ♥

So most of you know I have a huge obsession with the Jonas Brothers. I've liked them since they were signed to Columbia Records and have their first CD not to mention I'm an avid Jonas fan junkie who stalks them by driving a huge amount of miles just to see them in concert. I've seen them eight times and met them four.
This weekend was humongo for the Jonas Brothers. "Camp Rock" premiered (their first movie), and "Burning Up" premiered (their new single), also their album cover was released.
First order of business "Camp Rock":

Photobucket
So "Camp Rock" is about Shane Gray (Joe Jonas) who is like the typical "divo" always wanting it his way, jerk kinda rockstar. His two band mates, Jason and Nate (Kevin and Nick Jonas) send him to Camp Rock where they started their band Connect 3. While Shane is running away from screaming girls he overhears a girl singing while hiding in the bushes and so to say falls in love with her voice. The voice is Mitchie (Demi Lovato) who is the chief's daughter which she is ashamed of. As Shane searches for the girl's voice he befriends Mitchie little does he know she's the voice he's been looking for. The whole movie is a lot of drama and unhappiness but it really really rocks.

I have to say I was rooting against it being an amazing "High School Musical" movie. I know that sounds really bad and you probably think I'm not a real fan but I am. I loved them for a while before a thousand fans started liking them. So basically anything big happening for them I'm kind of rooting against. Which is really, really bad. As long as their happy though. Anyway, back to the movie. It was really good and I loved the premise. Demi Lovato was amazing, in "As The Bell Rings" she never really, really impressed me. But she did big time in "Camp Rock" and Joe, Nick and Kevin were amazing too. Especially Joe, he blew me away. If you haven't watched it definetly tune in tomorrow when it plays on The Wonderful World Of Disney or on Sunday when it premires on ABC Family. It really is worth the hour and a half.
Next order of business A little bit longer cover:
Photobucket
So a lot of people have mixed feelings about this cover but I happen to love it. If you have a lot of time and really feel like looking at it for a long time there's like a thousand hidden words like "Frankie" and "Love Bug" and "Hollywood" and all that good stuff. It's like an eye spy thing. It's really cool. The cover is different, but I think it's really artistic and Beatle like. I really, really, really like it. Hahh if I haven't made that clear yet.
Lastly the Burning Up music video:

Again something I really, really liked. I thought it was halarious. Big Rob cracked me up. They all looked amazing and the ending really made my day. "I can't grow a mustache" hah... it really was great. Watch it if you haven't already. You'll crack up at it. I swear.
Love times a million,
Nat.

Cloverfield is my new obsession ehph ♥

WARNING: THIS BLOG CONTAINS 'CLOVERFIELD' SPOILERS. IF YOU PLAN TO SEE IT AND WOULD LIKE TO BE SURPRISED DO NOT READ. YOU'VE BEEN WARNED!!
So this past week I rented "Cloverfield" not expecting to even remotely like it. I like scary movies, but sometimes they tend freak me out I had problems watching "I Am Legend" because I have this weird and scary feeling it could somehow happen to me one day an the entire world would be extinct. But "Cloverfield" pleasantly surprised me. I wasn't too scared, I was more thrilled by the whole thing. Another good thing is that it wasn't too gross and blood infested.
The movie follows this guy Rob who is taking a long trip to Japan or China. The whole plot is that he slept with one of his best friends, Beth who he's been in love with forever. Beth and Rob got into a huge fight at his going away party which his friends threw him. When the monster, (which is this huge lizard, gross slimmy thing, that has huge spider/crabby looking things coming off of him) hits town and all the New Yorkers are forced to leave town Rob calls Beth only to hear her shreaking voice saying she was hurt and needed help. The whole story turns when Rob and his friends, Lily, Hud (camera holder) and Marlena set off to go find Beth in her apartment.
Sadly, Marlena, and Hud both die along the way. The ending is a bit confusing and leaves a lot of unanswered questions which led a lot of rumors to circulate about a sequel but as far as I know the director has cleared up a lot of the unanswered questions (What's the monster there for?, Where'd he come from?, Did he die?, Did Lily die?, Did Rob & Beth die?) . It's all a bit crazy but I loved it.
Lizzy Caplan, who you might remember as Janis in "Mean Girls" did an amazing job. Her face after every scene that was scary was amazing and I definetly believed she was under attack by a huge creature and scared out of her mind. Unfortunatly she did die and I was quite sad about it.
The rest of the cast did amazing as well and I give it five stars. Go see it if you haven't and don't think you'll like it. It may surprise you.

A Place In This World ♥

Today I was listening to the song "A Place In This World" by Taylor Swift and really feeling what she was saying and what her words really meant, I guess relating to her.
A Place In This World
By: Taylor Swift
I don't know what I want, so don't ask me.
Cause' I'm still trying to figure it out.
Don't know what's down this road.
I'm just walking, trying to see through the rain coming down.
Even though I'm not the only one who feels the way I do...
I'm alone, on my own and that's all I know.
I'll be strong, I'll be wrong oh but life goes on.
Oh I'm just a girl.
Trying to find a place in this world.
Got the radio on, my old blue jeans
and I'm wearing my heart on my sleeve.
Feeling lucky today, got the sunshine.
Can you tell me what more do I need?
And tomorrow's just a mystery of life, but that's okay.
I'm alone, on my own and that's all I know.
I'll be strong, I'll be wrong oh but life goes on.
Oh I'm just a girl.
Trying to find a place in this world.
Maybe I'm just a girl on a mission....
That I'm ready to blow.
I'm alone.
On my own.
And that's all I know.
Oh I'll be strong, I'll be wrong oh but life goes on.
Oh I'm alone.
And that's all I know.
Oh I'm just a girl trying to find a place in this world.
Oh I'm just a girl....
Trying to find a place in this world.
I'm just a girl....
Oh I'm just a girl.
As I'm listening to this song I'm feeling mixed emotions. As I'm living my life and trying to make my dreams come true I realize that being an outsider, and feeling alone is the only way to find your place in this world.
Maybe it's not with the jocks, or cheerleaders, or sluts or whatever. But it's somewhere, it just takes some time to find it.
Now that Taylor Swift has found her place with singing and that song really is just a past feeling, I'm feeling better. If Taylor Swift has found her place then I know it's not impossible and just listening to those words and seeing how her dreams have all come true I really do feel amazing, and I do believe that I can do it.
Oh and a little 'Natalie update': I went to the doctor today to have her look at that gross bump on my face (if you're my friend you've seen it probably, it's just below my right eye and is just a plain white, gross bump). I found out it's a shinx or something like that. Usually their a bubble that holds something in it, like cancer or a virous, but it's fine. It's not infected and it won't hurt me in the long run. My doctor told me if I wanted it off, the only real way would be to get it off using plastic surgery. So I'll be going into a dermatologist soon to have them look at it and figure out how to do my surgery, we can only pray before school so I won't have a huge scar on my face when I return. Other then that everything's perfectly fine, and I'm a happy camper it's summer.
Love times a million,
Nat.

Rant.

I know I'm going a little overboard with posting but I'm not tired nor am I ready to go to sleep. So I decided to write yet another blog.
I've been closely examining life lately. I don't know why. It might be because I've taken an interest in thriller movies that revolve around the world ending and everyone in panic. Or maybe it's because I now realize how someone's life can end in an instant.
It's amazing how god throws curveballs in your life. How he teaches so many leasons and tries to make sense of why we're meant to be on earth. Whether it be losing a best friend, or finding true love, or losing true love, in the end you learn from it. Whether it be to never take anything for granted or to fall in love and not be afraid or to move on from something that hurts. In the end life is just one big curveball. One big mistake. One big lesson.
As I'm watching people grow, people part, and learn to become indepentdent I'm wondering if that's our purpose in life? To learn something. To learn something and take it with us after life. I guess I just want to have the faith to believe that there's something after death, that their's something more to life then just lessons, and regrets that there's something more to death then just darkness and black.
As I'm growing older and finding myself already looking into colleges and what I want to do with my life it's occuring to me that I'm learning to be independent and I'm learning to have a hard shell and see rejection.
As I'm sitting here are 12:03 at night, writing I'm trying to grasp the concept of life. Grasp why we're forced to make hard decisions or part with ones we love. Why can't everything be like the movies and everyone lives happily ever after?
People come into your life easily and can leave your life easily. It truely is amazing. But I guess that's all in our life lesson plans. To be able to handle rejection and comfrontation and be able to realize that everything isn't all it's cracked up to be. That we aren't all just put on this earth to live and that's it.
Ugh.... I don't know what I'm trying to say this blog is becomming a whole big mesh of words and phrases. I guess I'm trying to say that we shouldn't look at all the negative stuff, we should look at the positive stuff. "Every song ends, but is that any reason to not enjoy the music?" That is a very vaulable quote from One Tree Hill and I'm satisfied to say that I've taken a lot from that quote, not only it's meaning but everything. Everything does end, but enjoy it.
Wow.... I'm not even going to re-read that blog. I'm sure none of it makes sense, but I don't care.
Love times a million,
Nat.

Drama advice. Yuck.

I've decided to let totally lose in this blog. Let all my feelings out. :)
There's one thing that teenage girls do really well, other then put their make-up on, other then pick out cute clothes. There's this thing, it's called drama. Lately I've been realizing regardless of who and what girl it is they're always surrounded by drama.
My life this time last year was beginning to become full of drama and hatred. I was not the nicest person and I know I hurt people. I'm sorry for that. I can't re-do it but I can regret it, and I do. Now I've been put in a world where I'm the one being hated, and I'm the one being picked on. Still.
This whole thing started about a half a year ago, over god knows what. Since girls start fight usually over something incredibly stupid I'm sure that's it. Anyways, did I think bad stuff about the people I was fighting with? Yes. Did I do bad things to the girls I was fighting with? I tried not too. Now that it's all past and I can look at the suituation without being thrown into it I realized all my fighting back, all my vitious messages, and vitious text messages were a waste. Because people like that, people that are jealous, and rude and overall bitches, those are the people you need to stay away from. My little sister is finding herself in the middle of drama and I'm mainly aiming this towards her.
If someone is already picking a fight with you, and making you cry, and upset and want to do things that you shouldn't do, they're obviously not worth your time or energy. Just wasting that time or energy is giving them what they want, to make you upset which is exactly what it'll do.
Don't get me wrong, a little drama is good, it keeps you humble, but at the same time. It's wrong, and it does hurt people, no matter how big or how small their heart is.
In conclusion I can safely say I try my best to keep myself out of drama. I keep myself humble at all times and I changed myself into being a good person who tries to keep drama away. I also have learned from my mistakes. Fighting back won't get you anywhere, it's leaving it alone, and ignoring it in the long run that'll keep you strong.
Oh and if they're still talking/gossiping about you consider it a compliment. It means that you've obviously made an impact on your life and hey, better to be talked about then not.
Love times a million,
Nat.

Introduction.

So this is my first real blog. I've decided to put everything in my life in this blog and try my best to explain the crazy mixed up world of being a fifteen year old girl. I've dedicated this blog, introduction to all the main things on my blog, a little bit about me and some other cool stuff.
I made my banner and it took me forever believe it or not. It has pretty much my favorite things on it. Including my favorite bands (Jonas Brothers, Aly & AJ, A Coastline Ending , My Chemical Romance, Paramore, Boys Like Girls, etc.), My favorite movies (Rent, Say Anything, Thirteen, The Notebook, etc.), My favorite things (Ed Hardy, New York, Twilight, etc.) and my favorite actors/actresses (Robert Pattinson, Kirsten Stewart, Nikki Reed, etc.). There's a lot of my personality in there and a lot of things that really make me, me.
My personality is a lot different from anyone else's. I'm shy at first, but after I get acquainted and happy, I get pretty loud. I'm usually hyper and loud. It all depends on my mood.
I love everything. I swear, it's not easy to make me hate something specific. Well sometimes it is.
My hobbies include:
- Writing.
- Shopping.
- Hanging with friends.
- Reading.
- Watching T.V.
- Movies.
Those things probably make me look like a geek which I'm okay with. I like to consider myself a geek. My dream is to be a writer. I read a book called "What My Mother Doesn't Know" by Sonya Sones and instantly fell in love with writing. The way something and someone's words can change your entire outlook on life amazed me. I want to be able to have a teenage girl, who's confused and feeling alone and empty pick up my book and change her entire outlook on life, and her way of thinking. My whole dream is to be able to inspire people just like my favorite authors have. Inspire them to do the impossible and never give up. I'd also love to work for Seventeen magazine. I own every Seventeen magazine. I've actually never thrown them away and I plan to keep them all until I've accomplished my dream and worked at Seventeen and have a book published.
In this blog I've also decided to make a quote at the end of every blog. It's going to be just a little quote that I've picked out that I feel is very meaningful (especially to me).
I love music. Music is like my way of getting out. My normal life is hecktic and annoying. If I put on some music and put it up as loud as I can I usually feel better 100% of the time.
I love everything, except rap, I also am picky when it comes to country. My Chemical Romance's music usually helps me when I'm down. Putting in The Black Parade and screaming their songs usually helps me, and at the same times makes me bust out in tears. It's so meaningful. Their lyrics have real, real meaning to them and that's not something you get too often.
I also love Taylor Swift. (I told you I like EVERY kind of music) Her music is very helpful to me. Knowing someone is going or has gone through the things you have really helps clarify things. It helps you realize that yea, you may be unhappy, and feel like a freak but you're not. In reality you're going through what everyone else has. It's kind of the light at the end of the tunnel.
I also love a band called A Coastline Ending. Their song "Face The Music" is almost what inspired this blog. But I'll get more into that later.
Anyway, I'm tired and tomorrow I have to get up earlier then I usually do because I have a doctor's appointment to get this thing on my face (it's a gross huge pimple looking thing but it won't go away. I've had it for two months, ew) looked at.
Love times a million,
Nat.
