The Adventures of Natalie and Chael...

We Are Superheroes

noreply@blogger.com (Natalie and Chael) — Fri, 01 Apr 2011 05:06:00 +0000

Have you ever felt different than anyone else you know? Out of the ordinary? In a sense unreal? Have you ever wondered if your life had unknown potential? Have you ever thought that just maybe... you are a superhero? Well if you haven't, you should just pretend like you have, and enjoy the following photos and movie preview that (if you make good life choices) you are about to see.

Sidenote: sorry for the lack of postings this last week. We have been working on a lot of great ideas and things, so keep your eyes open because the entertainment is going to start coming like crazy.

Love,

Natalie and Chael

Space Jam Music

noreply@blogger.com (Natalie and Chael) — Wed, 23 Mar 2011 23:07:00 +0000

There has been a new trend in the world of music, that not many people have caught onto. Thankfully nothing gets past us, and we are here to share with you our discovery. The new cool thing to do is sing songs about outer space, aliens, galaxies, and things of that sort. We think the best thing to do, knowing this information, is to gather a large group of people together, dress up "out of this world" and dance like crazy to all of this space music. We will call it a "Space Jam" (it's brilliant we know). To get you all excited for this party from another dimension, we decided to leak you the beginnings of our music selection. Just pretend you are in a rocketship when listening to it.

A collection of some of the songs for our space party:

Bathroom Spaceship

Hello, this is us! Natalie just finished her final and the last question was about a movie called Mirrors (Chael hates this movie. Natalie hasn't decided her feelings)! The question sucked:

"Explain the difference between the mental states and mental dispositions. Explain Wollheim’s view of emotion as a disposition. How is this view exemplified in the film Mirrors?"

......Yeah, we don't know the answer either... so we did this instead:

Love,

Natalie and Chael

Doppelgänger?

noreply@blogger.com (Natalie and Chael) — Sun, 20 Mar 2011 08:35:00 +0000

Remember on Facebook when it was "Doppelgänger Week"? It was when you posted a celebrity look-a-like as your profile picture. Well we missed out, and decided to take it a step further (like we do with most things) and recreated the celebrity's photos. Please laugh as hard as we did when you look at these.... the definitely did not take us over 3 hours to make...... uhhhh.... we were bored?

Love,

Natalie and Chael

Top 10 Things in Natalie's Room

noreply@blogger.com (Natalie and Chael) — Sun, 20 Mar 2011 02:47:00 +0000

You already know all you need to know about Chael (see her room here). We all know you judged her, now it's your turn to judge Natalie just the same. The list is in no particular order. For starters, here is a picture of her room:

#1: My money rangs betch. Make it raaiiin. I don't really know what else to say, I have no idea why I have these. But, I also have no idea as to why I wouldn't have these.

#2: Every pirate needs his chest. Here's mine. I had to take down Black Beard for this. My gun was loaded with a single pistol...it worked. No, actually my dad made it for me for my birthday. I keep my treasures in here. You will never find them.

#3: My duck collection. I'm not ashamed. I started it in 7th grade and it was short-lived. One day I will be rich.

#4: My toys. I have two. I play with them. No I don't, that's a lie actually.

#5: My Darrin's Dance Grooves VHS tape. I still need to learn these moves. We will probably blog about it in the future.

#6: My kitty quilt. My grandma made it for me. She's a boss. I'd like to see what your grandma could do.

#7: My life-sized Chael cutout. I had it made at Kinkos. Naturally, it should be at the top of the list, but like we said, these are in no particular order.

#8: My cat. Her name is Mittens. She is my best friend. I hang out with her every day. I love her. Be jealous.

#9: My boyfriend. He's a model, obvs.

#10: My shoes. I only have two pairs, and you will never see me wearing them.

Now you know both of us a little better. We understand that we are a little strange. You don't have to tell us that. But you know our rooms are great. It is just a fact. It's in the dictionary.

Love,
Natalie and Chael

Happy St Patrick's Day!

noreply@blogger.com (Natalie and Chael) — Fri, 18 Mar 2011 01:41:00 +0000

I bet you didn't know this, but on St Patrick's Day we actually turn into little leprechauns. It is pretty flippin' cool, we pig out on Lucky Charms, and find pots of gold. You probably think we are lying to you, but really we are not. Here is our proof:

We hope you had just the best St Patrick's Day you could ever have. Make sure you have some green on, or else it is pretty much guaranteed that a 7 year old kid will pinch the crap out of you. As always, we love sharing with you our inspiration... so here you go:

"Oooo this is candy! I'm having FUN!"

Love,
Natalie and Chael

all the things you could do INSTEAD of studying

noreply@blogger.com (Natalie and Chael) — Wed, 16 Mar 2011 22:02:00 +0000

Finals: the best part of the college experience. Riiiiiight. Well the good news is that we are all in the same boat. We know there are some really studious people out there who finished all their final papers two weeks ago, and are already completely prepared for all their exams. You can stop reading now. We have no idea how you do what you do, but more power to you. You are the people who will one day run our country. Now, for the majority of college students (ourselves included) how much do you love finding new ways to procrastinate!? WE DO!!! Since we are all in this together, we find it extremely appropriate to share with you some of our ideas. (Side note: if you decided not to go to college and you are a successful individual, you made the right life choice) Without further adieu, here are all the things you could do INSTEAD of studying: First we would like to start off with the number one option:
- Take hundreds of unnecessary pictures of yourself with your webcam.

- Plan out the rest of your life in its entirety.
- Spend approximately 3 hours straight on http://stumbleupon.com
- Make really embarrassing videos of yourself singing along to songs and post them on the internet. (This is Chael's personal favorite)
- Watch way to many embarrassing videos of other people singing along to songs that they posted on the internet.

- Clean you room until it is spotless.
- Move onto bigger and better things and clean your entire house.
- Learn how to cook... then proceed to cook a ridiculous amount of food.
- Refresh Facebook every three seconds to make sure you don't have any notifications.
- Beat every game ever made for Super Nintendo.
- Read up on a random animal (usual people tend to choose "badass" animals like sharks, tigers, lions, bears, eagles, wolves, or dragons... unless you are Natalie... then you choose house cats) and then search the web for the perfect picture of that animal to set as your desktop image.

- Work out for the first time in 5 months.
- Go buy an unhealthy amount of junk food and candy.
- Pick a TV show you have always wanted to watch but never got around to it... watch every episode ever made.
- Email all of your professors explaining why your final paper is going to be late rather that actually starting it.
- Look through your elementary, middle school, and high school year books... after that you will get inspired to log into your MySpace for the first time in 3 years... and you will realize how much less of a human you were in high school, and that you have no idea how anything on MySpace works anymore.
- Download as many songs as you can think of off the internet (we are not promoting this, but face it: we are all criminals).
- Text message or call every single person you know.
- Clean your belly button.
- Do your taxes.
- Go to the dentist... lets be honest, it has probably been a while.
- Try to convince yourself that even if you fail your classes everything will be fine, and that just because you fail, that does't mean that you are a failure. Surely you are just an amazing person.

- Organize your email inbox that currently has 3000 emails that you know you don't need... but of course you have to go through them on by one just to make sure.
- Try on every item of clothing you have.
- Go grocery shopping.
- Go any other kind of shopping and buy so much stuff that you overdraw your bank account.
- Complain to everyone you speak to about the fact that you know that you are going to have to pull an all nighter in order to get all your work done on time.
- Read our blog... and tell all your friends about it!
- Blog about all the things you could do INSTEAD of studying.

If you have already done all of these things... first of all... IMPRESSIVE... second of all please let us know so we can take a break from studying and brainstorm more ideas!

Love,
Natalie and Chael

P.S. DONT FORGET TO STUDY :)

- Hide and seek in the park

- Drive somewhere unknown and have dinner in a city you've never been to. With fake names.
- Go for a drive with the passenger blindfolded, choosing directions at random. see where you end up
- Dress up as pirates, commandeer shopping carts, and have a war upon the high seas.. er, parking lot.
- Go on a search for as many good climbing trees as possible, climb as high as you both can in all of them, compile photo evidence
- Rent a movie you've never seen before. Set on mute and improvise dialogue.
- Dress up as pirates and go parrot shopping at local pet stores
- Go to the airport, get the cheapest, soonest departing flight to anywhere when you show up, and stay there for a weekend.
- Walk around a city and perform short silent plays in front of security cameras
- In the middle of the night, drive to the beach, so you arrive just as the sun is rising. Have a breakfast picnic, then fall asleep together. Bring a sun umbrella.

Love,
Nat and Chael

Top 10 Things in Chael's Room

noreply@blogger.com (Natalie and Chael) — Tue, 15 Mar 2011 00:46:00 +0000

We decided that we want you to know a little bit about us. So we thought, what would be a better way to get to know someone than by judging them off of the items in their bedroom. Lets face it, the bedroom is a personal place. In hopes that you might understand our individual personalities a bit better we will each (starting with Chael) share with you what we believe to be the top ten things that can be found in our rooms. We just want to present the items with small explanations, and we encourage you to judge us however you'd like. These are in no order whatsoever. Here is a photograph of Chael's room in general:

#1: My batman sheets. I mean just look at them. They are so good looking, and a sure hit with the male species. I actually have two sets of batman sheets and alternate them regularly. Gotta keep things fresh.

#2 My spiderman. Yes he is life size, and yes he is hanging upside down from my ceiling. And yes, a boy I had never met before ate 25 live goldfish (chewed and swallowed) so I could have it because I couldn't win the stupid game at the fair. It was my birthday.

#3: My Transformer toys. Notice that I have Bumblebee and Ravage. This is because I enjoy playing with them and acting out my favorite scene from Revenge of the Fallen in which Bumblebee straight up destroys Ravage by removing his body from his spine.

#4: This is a bit of a combination. My record player, and my Ke$ha on vinyl. They were made for each other. Ke$ha is my role model... please judge me.

#5: My Jesus action figure. This was a gift to me from my grandfather Thomas. He is always watching over me (Jesus... not my grandfather... well my grandfather too... but mainly Jesus) Please note the posable arms and gliding motion.

#6: My squirrel wearing underwear. I won him for carving a pumpkin. I feed him twice a day and take him on walks.

#7: The liscense plate I stole off a Vespa scooter in Rome, Italy. I am pretty sure doing that is against the law, but it was my last night and I just felt like I needed to do something exciting and crazy!

#8: My VHS tapes. I will just let you enjoy the greatness of these titles.

#9: My baseball collection. Touch these and you will never touch anything ever again.

#10: Just some word of advice that I try to follow everyday, and a photo of one of my best friends Michael. Michael played soccer in High School... and thought his mustache was super cool... I shaved it off multiple times... and painted his toenails pink once...that is a secret so don't tell him I told you <3

Well there you have it. The top ten things in Chael's room. Judge away! And don't forget to check back for the top ten things in Natalie's room so you can judge her too! I mean we all know it is going to be a ton of fun!

Love,

Natalie and Chael

Ninjas

noreply@blogger.com (Nat and Chael) — Mon, 14 Mar 2011 08:05:00 +0000

Have you ever felt the ultimate desire to dress up like ninjas and run around in public? We really hope you have experienced the joy of acting upon that desire. We sure did. One day we decided that it would be just the greatest idea to throw on ninja suits and go on a ninja quest at Bellevue Square. So we acted in the way we always do when we have these brilliant ideas. We went for it. We thought it was the best idea in the world.... and it was... but the Bellevue Mall Cops apparently had a different opinion. We did not anticipate the fact that dressing as a ninja in public would cause a large amount of attention and inspire stupid store managers (12 actually) to call in complaints. Long story short: we got kicked out. Basically what we are trying to say here is that Bellevue Square Mall discriminates against the people of the Ninja Tradition. We just want to make our complaint public, and warn any other ninjas against visiting this shopping center. However, if you are in the Bellevue Square area, and looking for a place to go, the Quality Food Center (QFC) across the street is extremely welcoming. Our adventure ended with ninja scootering a.k.a. "ninja-scooting" through downtown Kirkland and singing along in the car to one of our favorite vocal artists in a parking lot. Enjoy the small bit of evidence we have. If you do anything we just beg you to please make sure it is the 7 seconds of this video from 1:45-1:52. Listen carefully.

CoonTails!

noreply@blogger.com (Nat and Chael) — Mon, 14 Mar 2011 05:17:00 +0000

Remember how annoying all those Scene Girlz on MySpace were? Remember MySpace? No? Yea that's okay neither do we. Anyways, remember those stupid stripes that they always put in their hair? They called them "CoonTails" and now the Scene is dead, and so are the CoonTails. So of course we had to get some! They are absolutely perfect in every single way. Don't you think?

Love,
Natalie and Chael

We photoshop a lot of things... this is not one of them.

We Make Shoes

noreply@blogger.com (Nat and Chael) — Mon, 14 Mar 2011 04:52:00 +0000

You know when you are window shopping online and you see a pair of shoes that you just absolutely need to have? You know when you see how much those shoes cost and you poop your pants? Well that happened to us (minus the pant poopage). So instead of getting butthurt about the fact that we are poor college students, we decided to get creative. Our creativity included a trip to Ladies Boss Wear and a local craft store, and approximately 2 hours of blood sweat and tears, and resulted in the fiercest pair of platform pumps that your eyes will ever feast upon. Behold:

Natalie and Chael

With Arms Wide Open?

noreply@blogger.com (Nat and Chael) — Mon, 14 Mar 2011 04:37:00 +0000

One day (March 5th to be exact) Chael was at our friend Kate's house (see kate here) and while they were waiting for Natalie to come over (which took FOREVER) they of course had the ingenious idea to create the video you are hopefully about to spend the next 3 minutes and 42 seconds of your life watching. One word to describe it would be magical.

Love,

Chael and Natalie

The Fort

noreply@blogger.com (Nat and Chael) — Mon, 14 Mar 2011 04:24:00 +0000

Remember when you were a kid and you used to spend your time building forts and fun stuff like that? Well we decided to spend our time like that. Probably the best decision we have ever made. We would go as far as to say that we made the sickest fort ever in the history of forts. We even had a party in our fort...it was a FaceBook official event. The party included a lot of Gatorade, popcorn, Austin Powers (FTW) and May-Kate and Ashley Olsen movies. In the following photos please note the Austin Powers (FTW) VHS tapes, popcorn, touch lights, and stuffed animals. Not to mention christmas lights, a ceiling light, body pillows, and quilts for carpet.

Love,
Natalie and Chael

Simba's Climb... Pure Inspiration

noreply@blogger.com (Nat and Chael) — Mon, 14 Mar 2011 03:57:00 +0000

Sometimes when Chael felt discouraged she would simultaneously play this scene from The Lion King and listen to The Climb by Miley Cyrus. This was just too much work. Being the genuinely fantastic human being Natalie is, she offered to make and official video, allowing Chael to easily access the same great inspiration. You just can't ignore how fantastically the music syncs up with the video. Miley Cyrus actually wrote this for for this specific purpose. We just want to share this with you because at some point in our lives we all find ourselves faced with a climb.

Love,

Natalie and Chael

Murder on Elm Street

noreply@blogger.com (Nat and Chael) — Mon, 14 Mar 2011 03:37:00 +0000

Well it wasn't on Elm street... It was actually in Chael's kitchen, but we're not trying to be technical here. Our good friend Kate unfortunately pissed off Chael at the wrong time. This event resulted in her untimely death. There was blood everywhere. See for yourself...

Okay okay... so actually Natalie had a school project that we needed to take these for. We promise we are not crazy psychopaths. We <3 life!

Love,
Natalie and Chael

Just an Elf in a Forest

noreply@blogger.com (Nat and Chael) — Mon, 14 Mar 2011 03:21:00 +0000

Well it was a fairly decent Tuesday. We had about 25 extra minutes to do anything in the world. We contemplated our options and grappled with the idea of dressing Chael in a lyrical dance dress and taking elven pictures in the neighborhood forest. We decided that out of all the things we could do, that would bring our hearts the greatest delight. So we went for it. We just really hope you enjoy the product as much as we do.

Love,
Natalie and Chael

Dave's Tour of Seattle

noreply@blogger.com (Nat and Chael) — Mon, 14 Mar 2011 03:09:00 +0000

[Quick note: Before we go on any more adventures, we find that it is necessary to catch you up on the last few we've had.]

So our friend Dave lived with us (well not literally with us, but in our general area) here in Washington for approximately 5 months. His flight home to Delaware was scheduled to leave in two short days when we realized that he had never experienced the city of Seattle. WTF???! Out of the kindness of our hearts we took the liberty of showing him around in hopes that he would fall so deeply in love with what he had been missing, that as soon as he landed in Delaware, he would turn right back around and purchase a return ticket to the Emerald City. (Unfortunately that's not what happened... but we tried) The following is our proof.

Adventures in QFC

noreply@blogger.com (Nat and Chael) — Mon, 14 Mar 2011 02:10:00 +0000

We initially started our journey shooting photographs at Discovery Park in Seattle, Washington. Unfortunately, the sun gave up on us and we were forced indoors to a local Quality Foods Center. You'd think there wouldn't be many options for photography at this location, but thankfully, for your viewing pleasure, we found 502. We have decided to share with you the top 18.

Love,
Natalie and Chael

Swipin' the V-Card

noreply@blogger.com (Nat and Chael) — Mon, 14 Mar 2011 02:04:00 +0000

Dear Person,

So we've never blogged before, but we're going to give this a try. You should probably tell everyone you know about it because things are about to get real.

Love,

Natalie and Chael
