My name is Natalie Letra... And this is my life

A la Lizzie Bennet...

I am adorable!

What can I say about me? Well, I'm a twenty year old college student, living at home, working at Walmart and getting into wild adventures with my best friend, Danielle.


The easiest way to describe me is by dividing me into several age categories, none of which are actually twenty:

I am firstly an eight year old. I enjoy Disney movies immensely. My absolute favorite is Tangled followed closely behind by Beauty and the Beast and Hercules (underrated Disney movies for the win). I'm so obsessed with Tangled I named my cat Flynn, after Flynn Rider, the prince in Tangled. 

Flynn Rider, IN THE FLESH!

On a depressing side note: I have not been able to get one boy to watch Tangled for me, if you'd like to watch Tangled, I'm pretty sure we'll be married.

If you want to dive into Pixar, by all means, open the floodgates of passion: I adore Toy Story (Slinky Dog = love), Up (BUT IT'S A TALKING DOG!), Monster's University (I'll laugh with you, and I'll cry with you!), Finding Nemo (shark bate who ha ha).

Next, I am a fourteen year old fangirl. Short story time: this has been a relevant description of me for years, upon years. When I was five, I was obsessed with the Backstreet Boys; I even stayed up past my bedtime to see them in concert. Upon the age of thirteen I discovered the Jonas Brothers and my "obsession" was fulfilled to a point that it was unhealthy. I saw them in concert ten times and met them four times. My parents really loved me at that point in my life. Nowadays, I reserve my fangirling for One Direction. Yes, I am older than all of them but one, but they bring me an immense amount of pleasure, so fuck you if you be hatin'.

I'm also an eighty year old in the sense that I crochet a shit ton of items, all of which have become excellent gifts for friends/family members, and I always make my items with love!

January 9th, 2011... I can't. 

I also tend to obsess over Broadway. I don't know what age category you would consider that to live in, but Broadway hit me young and it hit me hard. I'll have to enlighten you on the beginning of my love in another blog post but for now, I shall say that my absolute love has been and always will be In the Heights. January 2011 was a hard hard month for me, full of lots of tears, angry pleas with the Broadway Gods (PLEASE, JUST A FEW MORE PERFORMANCES!), depression (which included a bucket of cookie dough) and a very long trip to New York, spent mostly filled with my tears and my father's confusion ("but it's just a Broadway show!" "NO IT WASN'T!"). In the Heights lives within my heart. I also have an odd recollection with Broadway theaters/Broadway shows, as in, I can tell you quite a lot about theaters and what shows they housed. It's an odd gift, I am proud to say I own.

We call this Nat's awkward phase.

I also briefly lived in New York and managed to see quite a few Broadway shows, including my lovely Godspell which I have calculated to have spent over $2000 on. Yes, I did see it 26 times and no, I did not get to go onstage once, I did meet Hunter Parrish a bajillion times and fantasized about having his children, while remaining cool, calm and collected. He hugged me A LOT and I remain the proud owner of a prop, he signed with the quote "Godsell 2011." Yeah, a Hunter Parrish original right there.

There's so much I could say but I feel like I need to reserve some things for future entries.

I don't know what the point is of making this. I partially created it because Danielle wanted me to, but I also feel like there are some things I'd love to talk about with an audience, so inclined as yourselves. I hope you find yourselves welcomed into my life, as I would love to get to know people outside of my tiny little town. I mean, Danielle is wonderful but come on, I need more than just ONE FRIEND!

See you all very soon!
