This will be ranty and mildly confusing...here we go:
After these elections, I feel like I should post my thoughts on everything.
This moment is historic in both my personal life and in this world. While I wasn't necessarily impressed with any of the candidates, this election is part of history. How amazing is it that our groups first election was for this one? I feel a privilege and honor, as an American born in a foreign country to be able to participate in something so meaningful. I am a United States citizen and have always felt part of that, despite what some may say. Despite all the turmoil and depression I think we've all felt throughout these past couple of years, The United States of America has been and will continue to be my home...my country. It has provided me opportunity I would have never had in any other country that I have lived in or visited. I know this is all cliche, but as many of you know I have been to many parts of the world, and whenever I come home I never feel such a relief as I do when I am here with the people I love and with the freedom I have. I suppose one would have to be in my shoes to really understand. While I understand a vote doesn't necessarily matter, (and I know some of you will give me this, I know this better than most) our voices are heard. We have the ability to do things that other don't, and until you feel those oppressions, one can't really appreciate the level of freedom we have here. I am proud. We have proven that we aren't necessarily apathetic. This election is not just impotant to those here in this country, but to people world wide. It's mind boggling. Whoever you voted for, I am glad you did. You have a right as an American citizen to do so, don't take it for granted. Barack Husssein Obama is our 44th President of the United States. He has a lot of work ahead of him, and now he will have to prove he is able to stand up to the title and responsibilities that come with it. McCain is an American hero and an incredibly intelligent man. I hope that he will be part of the fix to the problems we are facing today and in years to come. There is a long road ahead.
I sign off with pride in my country in one hand and a beer in the other.

hey people, so i just wanted to give out a kind of warning. my identity was stolen...nothing terrible that I know of yet, but get your credit checked every year at least. The identity theft is some paper work, and it makes for a bad day. Luckily the people I contacted were nice and it went by a lot quicker than I thought. I still have some work to do, but I thought I'd warn all of you to just check it. I was lucky that the company contacted me before anything terrible happened.
That's about it...again, nothing serious that I know of yet. I still need to get my credit checked, but my SSN was frozen so I have to file a request my mail, balh blah blah. THis is more of a warning for all of you guys.
Natasha
PS, I'll try to make a post in my other account soon. I have some rants I need to make, just havent had the time.

| Alone in Poland with time to think |
[09 Aug 2008|04:05pm] |
I wrote this entry, and I thought why the hell not. I'm sitting here in Poland with nothing really to do. I've decided to make another journal page just because it's not about everyday things. It's more about how I feel about life. I'm still going to use this for everyday purposes, but I'll find you all and add you. If you don't feel comfortable with the topics, I understand...dont add me. Simple as that.
love ya lots

| Day 1, Barcelona |

So it's day one and I am actually in a hotel not far from Barcelona. It was actually not in the itinerary to go, but me being stubborn and deciding not to waste the opportunity, we took a train down to the city. Spent the entire time in the shopping Modernist area. It's pretty cool, TONS of people. The three of us were a little tired because we'd been up for the past day and a half getting to Spain. (airports are a pain in the ass) Nicolai's lovely "navigational skills" got us traveling all over Barcelona...to see train stations. That's ok though, I plan on coming back. We finally got to our stop and took a taxi home. People are really nice and sympathetic. Sooooo chill compared to the lovely Polish group we have going. (more on that later)
Tomorrow off to Madrid. 700 kilometer drive, so most of the day will be spent doing that.
I'm soo tired. Some photos will be up on Facebook.
If I have wifi somewhere else, I'll keep on posting.
Love you all!
Natasha

I'm going to be in Spain for a week. YES. Hopefully there will be wifi and I can post some silly photobooth photos and maybe post some stories.
For some reason my cycle always coincides with the begining of my adventures...not like you wanted to know but there it is.
Hopefully some tasty Spaniards will be there and lots of celebration...and of course the touristy parts with the photos and what not... 0.0
wish me luck!

| books anyone? |
[05 Jun 2008|04:04pm] |
I have some time on my hands now and was wondering if anyone has any recommendations on a good read. I've read quite a bit of historical and biographical books in the last couple of months, and I just need something new. I have a biography on Che Guevara that I want to read, but I just can't get into it.
Any recommendations?
Just for your info, A Short History of Nearly Everything, by Bill Bryson is a nice read. It literally is what the title says, but it's definitely not difficult to comprehend. It's one of my favorites now. I might just re-read it. :)

well, i have some time on my hands now, so i'll just update this thing.
i have a month to myself, with nothing really to do. i can't get a job because i'm leaving in a month for vacation. i would go surfing, but i'm still learning and i dont have a board. i guess ill be spending time at the gym until i leave...catch up on my reading and what not.
i need to get another ipod. i lost my iphone, my old ipod is dead, so now i use my blackberry as my musical listening device. it doesnt sync with itunes so everything is done manually, i have to convert purchased songs from itunes to an unprotected format, my phone doesnt do playlists, and my library wont fit into one memory card. i realllyyyyy miss my iphone. it was a beautiful piece of equipment, but since i am clumsy and forgetful i will not be getting anything worth anything from my mom in a while. i also managed to lose my prada glasses in the rain...don't ask how, but i did.
i don't know, im not used to writing in this thing anymore. i hate how i write when im talking about myself.
whaaat elseeee...
im grossly addicted to diet coke. my friends over here tell me ill die of cancer, and i laugh.
im trying to learn spanish before i go to spain. youd think i would have learned before, but i opted for french instead.
i really want to get a tattoo, but i need to find the right artist. i have a couple of ideas.
im probably going to medical school for er medicine.
no boyfriends. i have a huge issue with that. its hard for a girl like me around here.
i really hate this entry, but im going to post it anyway.
i cant draw worth a damn, but it doesnt stop me from trying.
i dont know, im alive and doing things my way.
life is generally good to me.
..but enough ranting. ill try to post more.
love,
me

Hey guys,
I am hypocrite and I went and got myself a myspace. The link is http://www.myspace.com/82037846
I haven't changed my URL into anything hip and cool like me (^.^) I thought it would be a better way to keep in touch with friends, and I'm also incredibly vain. ^_^ Add me if you have one. I'm still trying to establish how to work with it, but I'll get it down eventually.
Ok, bye!
Oh, and you people are so freakin lucky you are out. I'm stuck for another two or three weeks.
Natasha
