my journal
August 24th 2008
I woke up yesterday and went straight to the computer. Then the phone rings and it's my mom calling from school. So I answer it and I'm talking to her and all of a sudden I hear a pause and she says, "Mr. T***** wants to talk to you!" (The stars are because I don't put last people's names in my blog) I was like, horrified. Mr.T is my old band teacher in middle school. He was like, my favorite teacher ever. So he comes on the phone and asks me why I quit band and that there was still time if I wanted to be in band. He was like, "the party is just starting and your dropping out!" Gahh. So after that conversation I was like, frustrated. You don't like hearing that stuff from your favorite teacher.
Later when my mom came home she said my counselor talked to her and...
I GOT 3D ART!!!
Yessss!! :] I was like, ecstatic!
I decided to put a myspace bulletin/survey in here, just because I'm bored and I have nothing better to write about. Haha.

August 24th 2008
Thursday was registration. It wasn't fun. I spent most of the time looking for a friendly face I could talk to, but I couldn't find anyone. Totally pathetic. After filling out forms, signing a paper so the Army wouldn't contact me and getting my picture taken I had to meet with my Counselor. AKA: Paige's mom. Anyways she knew I had dropped out of band. There is exactly one spot open in 3D Art. So basically the first person to assign someone to that class, gets in. I hope it's me. She has to do this the day before school. Because something is going wrong with their computer program. So if I don't get my new schedule by Sunday or Monday morning 2 weeks from now, I'll have to go to everything on my regular schedule, which means going to band. How awkward would that be? *Shudders*.
After all the registration stuff was done I had to sit at a booth and try to convince people to join Key Club (a club that helps the community) all by myself. It stunk. There was free suckers on the table. That's all anyone cared about. Not signing up for the club; eating the suckers. GAH. So these 3 girls that are in my grade come up and grab some candy, and they completely ignore me all together! Quite frankly; I was ticked. I honestly considered picking up a Dum Dum and throwing it at their stupid little head. But thank goodness I have self control.
After 2 hours of sitting there, telling people "yes, you can have a sucker. They are free", explaining to confused parents where to send their children next to get their books and ignoring flat out stares from rude little Freshman; my sister picked me up. Hallelujah!! On the way home she tried to convince me to drop out of school, saying "School takes away creative thinking." I told her to tell my parents her idea. *Snickers*. She told them at the dinner table. They burst out laughing.
Before I forget Wednesday night I was getting ready for bed and I was about to turn off the lights...when I saw a spider on my wall. I hate spiders. So I was like, freaked. My parents had gone to bed so I couldn't have them kill it. So I knew what I must do...kill. Kill the spider. It's Much harder than it sounds. I got my shoe and went to kill the spider and it ran down into my white paper lamp. Gahh. So I did the natural thing; I turned the lamp on to see if I could fry it. No success. I started hitting my shoe against the lamp. About ten minutes later the spider crawled up out of the inside of the lamp. I still couldn't get it. It finally dropped on the floor...and I missed. I looked around to see where it went. It went down the vent. I shuddered. I couldn't sleep in the same room as the spider. I thought about sleeping in my lounge or the guest room but I decided to be brave and pull my bed away from the wall so the spider couldn't climb up it. I was about to go to sleep and I decided to see if the spider came out one more time...and it did! It was outside the vent. Then it scurried under my bed, and I finally killed it!
Stressed
August 20th 2008
UGH. This week has been very stressful for me. I decided to quit band after 5 years. Yes, this was a big deal for me. But it's my descision and I'm So sick of everyone giving me a hard time about it. I'm still probably going to play the flute. I wanted to take 3D Art as a replacement instead of Band, but it's full. SOO I don't know what to take. Maybe Psychology. :[ I have no freaking idea. Tomorrow is registration to sign up for classes so maybe I'll have something sorted out by then. But I honestly don't know.
On another note: I made a new layout! I took the old picture of the girl I drew awhile ago and I spruced it up a bunch! Anyways, I like it. My site hasn't been super popular lately but hopefully I'll be getting graphics up soon.

"Life's like a box of chocolates, you never know what your gonna get." -Forrest Gump :]
I'm excited my daddy's coming home today! :] He's been gone since like, Wednesday on a fishing trip with my two uncles and their friend. I already got to see all of them before the fishing trip and my uncle's and I played badmitten and watched the Olympics and stuff.
Anyways, Friday my mom and I went to my cousin Lauren's 15th B-day party. I bought my dad some wine! I'm excited to give it to him -
oooh! They're here! BYE :]

Movies, bike riding and friends
August 9th 2008
"That's like asking me if I want a jet pack. Or if I've ever wanted to be a koala bear!" -Shawn Spencer, Psych
August 9th, already? I don't want Summer to end, but it's winding down fast. Too fast! I have been waking up later and later recently. Like today I woke up around 11:30! That's weird for me because I usually wake up around 9:00. So I basically get up, watch TV, play on the computer and eat lunch because it's so late. And by the time I do all that, take a shower and fix my hair it seems like the day is already half over. UGH. I've had a pretty O.K. week, though.
Wednesday Corridon came over and spent the night. We saw the movie "Swing Vote". It was pretty good. Later that night we watched "Becoming Jane", with James McAvoy! *Swoon* :] Haha. Then to my astonishment Corridon asked if I wanted to watch "Pride and Prejudice"! So I said, "Sure!!!" (That's my favorite movie, in case you didn't already know that.)
Soo Thursday (I think?) I woke up kind of early around 8:30 and I was sitting here checking my Myspace messages and my dad said, "Sarah, we're going on a bike ride! Go get on some tennis shoes!" I flipped out. I pointed out to him that it was (by then) 9:00 in the morning and that it would just be cruel to force me to go on a bike ride. He didn't care. So I went upstairs and changed into "bike riding" clothes and I heard my parents on the patio talking. My mom said, "So she agreed to go bike riding with you?" and my dad said, "I didn't give her a choice!" My parents are evil. Anyways so we went bike riding about six miles total. At the end of the bike ride my butt hurt so bad I could barely stand. My dad went to go to the bathroom in Taco Bell while I waited in the truck and he brought me this weird caramel apple empanada. It was...well...gross. Haha. But I thanked him anyways. Then we went to the movie rental place and he wouldn't let me get "Definitely Maybe" or "Fool's Gold". He said I could wait until I had some friends over to rent those. WHATEVER. So He got this weird family movie and a movie that I actually wanted to see called, "Penelope". (We still haven't watched it yet). The best part about renting that movie is James McAvoy is in it!!! :] Yay!! Later that night Ned and Cindy (my parents best friends and our neighboors) asked me if I wanted to get some ice cream. So I agreed and threw back my curly hair into a ponytail. When I got to the ice cream place I was mortified because just about our whole city was at a play right across the street from the ice cream place - and I looked like crap.
Friday I basically hung out around the house and we watched a detective series my parents and (especially) me are super into. It's called the "Last Detective". I love British TV series. Then later we watched "Monk" and "Psych". The two best shows on the planet.
And today is Saturday. I have basically done nothing. Hopefully Chloe (my best friend) will be getting home from camp soon and her, Corridon, Sierra and I can go see "The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants 2" and maybe hang out and party :] haha.
love, love, love

August 3rd 2008
I'm back!! Well I had a fun week with my cousins. We went shopping, ate Chinese food, mocked "our movie" August Rush, threw a suprise Birthday party for Stephen (my cousin), went to a play, played Skipbo, and laughed until our stomachs hurt! So it was a very eventful week. ;] Haha. Well I'm just super exhausted right now. If I write much longer my fingers will probably fall off. Also my sister is home. So I think I'm going to go hang out with her. I'll update graphics and stuff probably later today.
P.S. You would have to watch August Rush to understand the title.

Anyone Else But You
July 27th 2008
This morning I got up and I went to church and the rest of the day I spent here playing on the computer or loafing on my sofa. I feel disgusting. A day of doing absolutely nothing always makes me feel gross. I was suppose to walk on the treadmill today and I didn't do that. So here I am trying to write an incredibly exciting blog but discovering there is nothing incredibly exciting to write about. I think I'm going to write a book. Yes, a real fiction (ehem, oxymoron; I know) book. I've attempted many times to write books before but they always lack a plot and so I usually get bored with it real fast, and it ends up sucking. But not this time! OH NO, not this time. Because I have a plan *Jumps on top of large building with cape billowing behind me and stands with hands on hips*. I have written a summary, made my characters characteristics and figured out some quotes. So I'm all set...
Now I'm hungry.
Maybe I'll write the story later...
OH! And ("and" can't be the beginning of a story unless your an author, so you have some authority. I figure I'm going to be an author soon, so I can do that.) before I forget I made a new layout! Do you like it? I do! My Mom and I went to see Mamma Mia! a couple days ago, so I was inspired. I highly recommend that movie. Anyways I added an icon tutorial and switched the layout stuff up a bit. I like it. A Lot. It kind of reminds me of a fiesta.
I'm going to go eat some Strawberry Birthday cake now. PEACE!

Yo! Give Me Some White Caps! ;]
July 25th 2008
Hey guys. I'm back!! I actually got back yesterday but I'm just finding time to update today. Anyways the waterpark was so much fun. We went down all the slides, and went through the lazy river, and spent a lot of time in the hot tub and checking out the lifeguards. :] On my Birthday Nikki's parents got me cake and ice cream. How nice. :] We watched like 6 DVDs because the trip is like hours away. Anyways we got to swim in Traverse Bay (which is basically on Lake Michigan). Nikki and I were acting like complete idiots, people probably thought we were on drugs or we were drunk or something. Haha. If your wondering about the title "white caps" is when the waves get so high up there's a little white foamy stuff at the end of them. So Nikki said that. Haha. Then we didn't have any beach towels so we got out and layed in the sand for like a long time, I got really burned/tan. And then the sand stuck all over us, and wouldn't come off so we went in the Bay and tried getting it off but that didn't work very well. I swear I'm like still finding sand in my ears and stuff. Ew. haha. Then later at night we went to the Sleeping Bear Dunes and we climbed up the dunes and Nikki and I were so exhausted we fell on our knees and started crawling up the dunes. Haha. Pathetic. The scary thing was we saw TONS of bear prints all over the sand. Scaryyyy!! So after we climbed for like, over an hour we ran down the dunes as fast as we could! Haha. Well I've got to go. My mom and I are going to see "Mamma Mia!". PEACE.

Tomorrow I'll be gone until the 23rd because I'm going with my friend to a waterpark. Geezz oh Pete's. I've been sooo busy lately. I kind of like it. Haha. Chicago, Virginia, up north, water park and then about a week after that I'm going to visit my cousins. So wow! I'm busy. Anyways I have been trying to make a super cool layout but I'm getting really frustrated with it, so I've given up for now. But Here are some lovely Spiderman icons I've made:

Soo...Saturday I went to the mall. I got some jean capris, a scarf, a whale ring, etccc. But most of all I got the movie "Win a Date With Tad Hamilton" and "Spiderman"!!!! :] *Jumps up and down*. Haha. I really haven't been doing much to this site lately. I'm sorry about that, but I've been really addicted to Myspace lately. It's actually really bad that I'm on it so much. I don't want people asking me, "So what did you do this Summer?" And I'll be like, "Oh, you know, I was on Myspace the whole time". Haha. But it's been cool talking to some people I haven't talked to in centuries. Anyways Sierra's coming over today so I'm going to go fix my hair and eat. PEACE. :]

Well I got up super early this morning as I couldn't fall back to sleep. UGH. I got up at like, 7:20ish. Gahhh. Anyways, my Mom's taking me shopping for the last part of my b-day present (Chicago was the other part). I hope some of my friends acutally remember my b-day this year! Grr haha. Nikki invited me to go to a waterpark with her the 21st-23rd so I'm going to be gone those days. I'm sooo excited! Alsoo I got this fabulous nail polish color! If your into nailpolish you have to try it. It's "Express Finish by Maybelline" and it's called, "Speedy Hot Tamale". It's amazing. Just don't get it on your shower curtain like I did - because it stains. Haha. I tried getting it off with Bug Spray, and Mr. Clean Magic Eraser, hairspray, Goo Gone, nail polish remover...nothing worked!! Ahh! Whatever, the spot isn't that big anyways. Sooo I'm psyched to go to the mall because I haven't been there in like...forever! I want to get Bare Minerals. I tried some of my friend's and I absolutely loved it! Also I have a new obsession! *Drum roll please*

This guy named Gary let me and Dakota (my second cousin) drive his truck around on the field. It was soo fun :] He even let Maddie (who is going into 7th grade) drive it too. He actually let me drive down the road. Of course we were in a really rural area, so there were no cars. Anywayss Corridon's on the phone right now...crying. I'll write more later.

Hi guys :] I just got back from Chicago last night at like 1:30. I forgot to write a blog to tell everyone where I was going. Anyways my sister took me to Chicago to stay with her friend Julia and Julia's boyfriend, Jamie. So we drove there and we listened to a bunch of CDs,(my sister smoked a bunch of cigarettes), I took loads of pictures and helped my sister with directions, AND BAM! we were there :] Soo when we got there Julia made us smoothies with watermelon, pineapple and strawberries she insisted it would taste better with Tequila and that a little Tequila wouldn't hurt me any. I'm like....what?!? And my sister is like, "Julia, she's 14!" haha. So no Tequila for me. (She said fine, but it wouldn't taste as good.) That night we met Jamie and went to this very cool pizza place. It was a great atmosphere very loud, lots of people drinking at the bar. And the pizza was great! Julia and Emilie offered me a sip of their beer. And Jamie was kidding and he's like, "Chug, chug, chug!" And I'm like "nooooooooo thanks." I'm such a good kid, it kills ;] What's up with these people offering an under-age kid beer, anyways? And I'm not going to to even get started on the amount and variation of swear words I heard coming from all of them. Whatever. Haha. So the next day after a long subway ride, taking the wrong bus, and getting on a different (the right) bus, we finally we got to Shedd's Aquarium!! (I've been there before for a 6th grade field trip). Anways I took like dozens and dozens of pictures. (I'll post them later when my sister wakes up and I get my camera out of her car). It was superrrr awesome. Like we saw tide pools, otters, pirana, starfish, seahorses, a dolphin show, bulguga (spelling error?) whales and loads of other stuff. They even had fish in the ceiling in one of the rooms! So it was wayyy cool. The next day (Wednesday/Yesterday) my sister and I road the subway by ourselves. Which was sort of scary because we didn't really know what we were doing. We got off the subway and my sister started walking one way. And I'm like, "Shouldn't we check the signs to make sure that's the right way." And she's like, "Stop being such a punk." We weren't getting along yesterday - like at all. So then I saw the "Division" sign and I'm like, Emilie, it's that way, and I pointed in the opposite direction. She was wrong! HA. So we walked to Dick Blick, this HUGE art store. And my sister got some water colors and I got a bunch of random stuff like erasers, and pencils, and a paint pallette. After Dick Blick we walked to Forver 21 (Once again, I knew right where I was going. HAAHAHAHA.) I didn't buy anything - I tried on 2 dresses and they both made me look kinda...fat. EW. So they we walked to the Art Institute Museum. That was okay. Nothing super exciting. Then we took the subway back and we went to take Julia's car in. After that we all drove to the thrift store. I've never really been to the thrift store but I was like, enchanted by all the cheap clothes. My purchases ended up being, a cute/comfy blue T-shirt, a Banana Republic top, (both of those things were picked out by Julia for me) and a pair of *drum roll please* HOLLISTER CO. JEANSSS!!! AHHH. Only $4.50!!! :] And they were in my size. 1 regular!! Luckyyyy right? Julia, Emilie, and Jamie made me do a "fashion show" for them, where I basically just showed them the clothes I got, on. Later that night we went for Mexican food and I got 2 tacos. They didn't have regular taco meat. Emilie said that was because they were "authentic" and "made by real Mexicans." Then we went to Coldstone because Julia owed me an ice cream cone for trying a bite of disgusting - covered in mushrooms - pizza at the pizza place. A little while after we got back to their apartment we left for home and arrived at like 1:30 a.m. And that about wraps up the end of my blog. Whewww.

I FAILED my math exam. :[ I was like SO ANGRY at myself. But luckily I had an A in Algebra so my grade only got lowered down to a B. So let me update you on the last few days:
Tuesday my sister and brother took Corridon and I canoeing on the river! :] haha. It was soo much fun! We were singing camp songs and stuff. And we saw 2 deer, a blue heron, a bald eagle, a bunch of turtles and some other stuff. Yesterday Sierra and I were over at Chloe's and we swam for a little bit (the quote in the beginning of the blog was what I said to Sierra when Chloe and I were trying to teach her how to float in the water!) Oh and Chloe and I saw Juno! It was urple (Sierra's new word, meaning super or uber) good :P

Yesterday we were suppose to march in a parade. There was a tornado watch and thunder storm warning. It got canceled. Then our power went out. And I played a few games of Sequence with my parents, took a sleeping pill and went to bed. I so didn't feel good yesterday. I felt like I was going to pass out because of the heat. It was like 90 something but the humidity was HORRID. Anyways...I'm not sure what I'm doing today. Movie? I don't know. OH and my brother came home Thursday! I haven't seen him for like a year!! :] And I gave this site a little revamp. I added some myspace graphics. I have to add some more graphics later...but I'm sick of the computer right now.

My weekend has been AMAZING. Let's start with Friday:
Corridon, Chloe and I went to Chloe's house and decorated tank tops for a race Saturday. Then we went to my house and they both spent the night. We watched "She's the Man" and ate junk food. YUMMM :P We took a bunch of cute pictures for myspace. Then Saturday morning around 8:30ish we wore our tank tops and went to the race. Chloe ran and Corridon & I walked and ran. Then after that Chloe's grandma took us to the mall and we got our hair done. Chloe got a purple streak in her hair and Corridon & I got the same color pink streak in our hair. The 2 ladies there were like vietnamese or something & so they didn't speak English super well. Then the lady who wasn't doing our hair asked us if we wanted something to drink and Corridon's like, "No I'm good." So the lady was like, "Okay I get you some!" Hhaha. So she came back out with wine glasses and handed us each one. Then she opened a bottle of sparkling grape juice and gave us each some!! Oh my gosh, both of the ladies were really nice :] haha. Yesterday night my parents had friends over and they taught all of us how to play "31" the card game. It's fun, you should Google it. Anyways..soo today has been pretty boring. I just went to church and stuff. I'm going to make graphics maybe. I don't know.

And all bridges you've burned,
leave you trapped off at all sides.
And now the tables do turn,
and it's all gone, what's left for you.
Oh my gosh! >:[ Where is My "The All-American Rejects - Move Along" CD?? GAAHHHHHHHHHH!!! I'm going to check my CD case...
Now 21, Cinderella Story, Hilary Duff, Good Charlotte...NO REJECTS!! *cusses in French*. GAHHH. Okay Now I'm going to check upstairs...
YES! Touchdown! *Does happy dance around the room and brandishes the Rejects CD in left hand* WOOOHOOO. Okay now I'm going to put it in my CD player...AH. Much better.
Okayyy enough of my spazzing out. *Sits down gracefully and sips tea with pinky out*. Do you have any CDs that brings back like dozens of memories. Yeah, well, that's my Rejects CD. It was like the soundtrack of my Summer 2006. So losing that would be like losing my Summer 06. Okay, not really, but I love that CD! Bwahaha. Ahh! Move Along is playing now. Wooohoo.
Alright, so I have to march in a parade around 5:00ish tonight. I'm SO not looking forward to it. I'm a banner carrier with Paige. But I refuse to be right guide. *Stomps foot on ground*. Also today I have to study for Biology quiz, finish my math and my mom and I might go to the park and play tennis. And, as you may have noticed, I'm a little hyper/spazzy/eccentric right now. XD
Hmmm well what do you think of the new layout? I personally LUHV IT. I don't know why...Huh. I've made 1 welcome sign that I haven't put up yet! Yay me. (sarcasm). But I did make another icon tutorial with Bambi a couple days ago. I think it turned out pretty cute :]
EWW I had to this ucky salt rinse because of getting my teeth pulled. I have to do it 3 times a day. GROSS. Well I'm going to go spazz out somewhere else. HAVE A AMAZING DAY.

I dare you to move
I dare you to lift yourself up off the floor
I dare you to move

Like today never happened
Today never happened
Today never happened
Today never happened before
I went to the dentists' today to get a filling and some teeth pulled.. I was thinking "hey this isn't so bad! I can't feel a thing!" And so I'm thinking, "Well getting my teeth pulled can't be too bad then, right?" And you know what? It was BAD. They were only going to pull 2 teeth - I thought - but they ended up pulling 3! And then they told me they pulled 3, and I'm like, "Nuh-Uh!" The one on the top KILLED though. Like, that numbing stuff wasn't working. I could feel them twisting it. And I saw the teeth afterwards and it had a HUGE root. Like an adult tooth! Did they pull the wrong one? OMG. So now I have 3 pieces of gauze in my mouth. I have to eat soft foods. I can't use a straw for a couple weeks. And right now my mouth is still numb.
On a different note - a minor one still, though - we had to flush Agnus last night. I almost cried. I heard my mother say to my dad that I had a "Soft heart". Or something like that. I don't even like killing bugs. I feel bad for them too. So now only Chester is left! We're going to let him go into my parents best friends' pond because he'll probably be happier there, with other fish. Poor Chester, he looks so lonely...
I don't want to march in the parade this Monday. At least I get to carry the banner with Paige, so I don't have to play my flute. Because that would probably kill my mouth. (Sorry Chloe about not getting to carry the banner with me, you weren't there Thursday :[ )
Well I'm going to play the piano, or work on graphics, or watch TV or something that will take my mind of my mouth...
love, love, love

goodbye my luckless romance

So long, my luckless romance
My back is turned on you
Should've known you'd bring me heartache
Almost lovers always do
Today was a pretty good day. I wore a new Hollister Co. shirt so that must be why my day is going good ;] Agnus my fish is dying though. :[ AWW poor guy. I can't really do anything though. I feel so bad for him. He can barely swim, he's just floating at the top. Not another dead pet!! :[ Welll oookay, today's been good except for Agnus. Tonight is the tennis banquet. Yay. Well there's nothing else to write at the moment. Or maybe I'm just too lazy to write a lot. I can't stop looking at poor Agnus...
love, love, love

Ugh I have a cold. So I stayed home from school today. And I played my flute & the piano, for like...ever. I slept in until around 9ish. I'm boredddd. I went to my Grandmaman's house over the weekend. I don't really have much to write. I'm trying to make loads of more content for you guys :] And no one has commented on the layout yet. I like it, what do you think??

Run-Ins & Jerks
May 10th 2008
10:01 a.m.
QOTD: "Victoria's Secret. Victoria has a secret. So does Pud. It's Pud's secret." -Me (talking to Sierra)
Is it what you want?
Is it what you need?
We go back and forth,
Making war out of peace.
Yesterday (Friday) I ran into another kid at school. (That's 2 kids in a row!) I was saying goodbye to Corridon and I turned to go to 1st hour and this guy was coming around the corner, and BAM! Oh my goodness, I wanted to crawl into a hole. I'm like, "I'm soo soo sorry!!" Haha. He's like, "I'm sorry, are you okay?" and I'm like, "yeah". And then I ran up to Corridon and I said, "I hit two people!" HAHA. XD I told my mom, and she said, "Are you making this a habbit?" Haha. I'm like, "I think so." The worse part about hitting that guy, I wasn't holding any books, so it was like, COLLISION. :P
Anyways, so at lunch yesterday Shana was being a jerk to me, for no other reason than she felt like it. She said something like, "Sarah your book smart, but your really dumb". I believe she called me socially retarded as well. What the heck is her issue? And Michael, was like your going to take that? I just nod. And Michael said, "Did Shana hurt your feelings?" And I was being sarcastic and I'm like, "Yeah, So much!" And Shana said, "I don't care." I didn't talk to her for the rest of lunch. I walked outside and waited for the bell to ring. Without her. I was angry for awhile, but then I was thinking why do you care what she thinks? So I got over it.
I want to do something today. I'm probably going to watch "27 Dresses", that we rented. And play badmitten. And maybe even grocery shopping! haha. :]
Also, I'll be putting up a new layout very soon. AND I'm gonna work on lots-o-content for the site :] *bows*. Haha. Well I think I'm gonna go play "Boston" by Augustana that I'm teaching myself how to play on the piano! :D

this life is a beautiful one and
though I seen it comin' undone
well I know most definitely that
it's gonna be you it's gonna be me
I haven't written in a little while, have I? Huh. Well Tuesday we had an away tennis meet. It was very fun. Sierra, Madaline and I bought a huge cinnamon roll for 80 cents and we ate it in like 20 seconds. Haha. Then I grabbed 2 pennies from Sierra and we stood on the bleachers and I threw them at Tiffany. One rolled past her, the next one hit her in the butt. She's like "WHO IS DOING THAT?!?" ha. Then she saw us. XD She threw it back at us. I was paired up with Jamie for the match and we lost 1-8 but I had fun, so it's worth it, right? Yesterday I was at church for the weekly dinner, and I took Daniel's bike and I was riding through huge puddles in the middle of the parking lot road. :] It was fun, the guys thought I wouldn't do it. Today was pretty boring. We had our last tennis practice. Two matches left (next Monday and Tuesday) and we're done! :] Yay! Oh and today I ran into Kurtis. Um...literally. :^X OMG. haha. That was way embarassing! Well I'm sure he knows who I am by now, I guess. ;]

Badmitten, lazy days & UNO
May 4th 2008
1:49 p.m.
About my last blog I'm not crazy or anything, I was just having a really crappy day. And so that would be my depressing blog post of the month. XD Haha. Anyways, no Chloe, the friend thing wasn't about you. And I still like that guy I was talking about. He seems really nice. AND I love his smile :] AND I still suck at tennis but, hey, only 3 matches left, so I'll try to survive. I don't want to talk anymore about that blog I was just having a SUCKY day.
Soo anyways, Friday Corridon spent the night and we watched stuff on YouTube, watched "Hitch", ate frozen dinners, and played a game called "Bloons" (google it, it's amazing). Saturday we ate chocolate chip pancakes, watched some more YouTube, played Rodeo Golf and Badmitten (by the way, I wiped out while playing badmitten. HAHA). We had a UNO championship with my Dad. Corridon won. Then Paige, Corridon and I went and saw "Made of Honor" at twoish. And I saw Shana there after the movie was over. Then I basically sat around the rest of the day. And today we went to church. There was a lunch after church. Yummm. Then My mom took me to Joanne Fabrics and I got some squishy stickers, a bookmark, a necklace chain and a dog toy for Dooley. Haha. Dooley loves his toy. I went outside and gave it to him and chased him around the yard, swung on my swing and now I'm here typing my blog. HMMM so I guess that's all for now. I'm probably going to buy some music on Itunes. PEACE OUT GIRL SCOUTS.
love, love, love

RIP Ella <3
May 1st 2008
8:19 p.m.
QOTD: "You don't know what you got, 'till it's gone" -Paved Paradise, Counting Crows
Poor Ella. My dad told me after my tennis match today that my hamster Ella died. I've had her since August 5th 2006. :[ We keep Ella in the bathroom (I know weird) but she makes too much noise, so we can't put her in my room. So I went into my bathroom and I shut the door. I stared at Ella's empty cage and then I looked outside and saw where my parents buried her, with a cross marking her grave. I looked at her cage. There was the sticker I had put on her the first day I got her. It said: "Ella: August 5th 2006". I grabbed my black eyeliner and scribbled "March 1st 2008" under it. And for some reason I sat down with my back leaning against my bathtub and I just stared at her cage. And then I started sobbing uncontrollably. It wasn't just about Ella, it was about how much I'm embarassing myself playing tennis, and my lying best friend, and a guy that I'll never get. and I guess I was crying because of every single thing that was wrong in my life. Sometimes, I think, it's good to cry. Just to let it all out. So I did. I sat there crying for about a half an hour, until my parents called me downstairs. I re-applied mascara before I went downstairs.
Tuesday I was sitting in the bus with my tote on my lap staring out the window. And I saw him. He always looks so lonely walking down the sidewalk, always by himself. He was so tall and I saw him before I got on the bus and I almost went up to him and I almost started walking with him, and maybe we could have almost been friends. But almost doesn't count for much does it? Because in the end it's not what you almost do. It's what you really do. And maybe almost he could have liked me back <3 Almost.
love, love, love,

Falling Stupid For You
April 23rd 2008
8:18 p.m.
This week has been really eventful. So let me start on Tuesday: I had a tennis match and my partner was acting really stupid and we never actually finished the match. We just started goofing off. (We, meaning her). Anyways, the girl on the other team served the ball and it was coming at me so fast and it hit me in the mouth. It hurt SO bad!! GRR. Now on to Wednesday: I found out Michael is dating the girl he's going to prom with. Well...at least he's holding her hand. Whatever. I'm over him. Then that day Sierra and I were walking through the hallway and Sierra wasn't paying attention to wear she was going, and she ran into this the back of this guy. Like her hands and her head was on his back. Oh my gosh! I almost died I was laughing soooooo hard!!! Later that night we had a band concert. I think we did pretty good. After the concert I went to get icecream with Chloe and her dad and we told my parents he'd drop us off after ice cream. But we meant to say after the concert, so I came home an hour late and my parents were furious!! :[ But before I got home we were eating our ice cream and these 2 popular girls were being all nice to us. Weird...and I was talking to Chloe about my 'tramp shorts' I was wearing. (I wasn't planning taking of my uniform, so I was wearing SUPER SHORT shorts.) And anyways I talked about my aunt who got the shorts for me and flip flops that went with them and then I paused like I was thinking about where my flip flops were. And Chloe's like, "They're in your closet". That was sooo creepy. She like read my mind! WEIRD. Anyways, so after ice cream we went to the concert and someone sat down a seat away from Chloe, and Chloe tapped me on the shoulder and she's like, "Sarah! Kurtis is sitting by me!" I'm like, "NO WAY!" Haha. Then I'm like, "Chloe I can't see, maybe we should switch seats!" I was kidding of course, and I told Chloe that and she's like, "actually I was thinking about switching". And earlier that night Kurtis saw me in the band room and we TOTALLY had a moment! LIKE, TWICE. Haha. Alright, now to Today (Thursday): I was practicing tennis before my match and Kurtis and his buddies came to watch some of their friends goof around and play. And he like, LOOKED at me again! and so then... (yes, I admit) I started to show off a little. I said some really funny stuff, and I was being loud and spontaneous. I skipped over to the tennis court, grapped some ice cubes from Sierra's cup and shoved them in my mouth. I did a whole bunch of stupid stuff. But I think maybe...just maybe he might like me...?!? Huh. Earlier in the lunchroom everyone heard someone screaming and we all turned to see one of Kurtis' dorky friends screaming and he was saying, "GET IT OFF ME, GET IT OFF MEEEE!" Haha. There was a bee on him. And he was screaming and dancing and running around. And EVERYONE was staring at him and laughing at him. Then a friend took of his shoe and smacked the bee with it. What a bunch of dorks.

Today was HORRIBLE at school. Let me explain: My Grandmaman was suppose to come this Friday and stay Sunday night and then Saturday we were going to my cousins' play that we already bought tickets for. Turns out I forgot we have a state band festival Saturday. AND I have a manditory Art Show Saturday. But I can make cookies for the Art Show instead of going, my teacher said. SOOO we called my Aunt and told her I can't make it to the play. I feel so bad!! :[ AND before spring break my art teacher said, "clean out your cubbies!" So I'm like, O.K. So I took home my textbook we were pasting stuff in, and I through the folder of my portfolio away. Turns out we still need those things! :[ uggghhh. And, I believe Sidney is mad at me. I just got sick of him like...stalking me. He started walking with me after 4th hour and he poked me in the hall a lot. Today Michael sat by me at lunch today. I was shocked. I set my books down and he was there and he talked to me like he never even left at all. I admit I'm a little bitter. I'm soooo stupid. I thought that he might actually like me or I actually had a chance with him. No way. He talked about getting his prom tux and how he has to match a red dress. And I teased him and I said, "you mean, your tux is going to be red?" He probably thinks of me as a little kid sister. I complained about how pale I was today and he said pale people can still be cute. Cute. But not cute enough, huh? He asked me if I had a boyfriend yet. I remember blushing and looking down at my half-eaten cookie. He asked me why and I shrugged. I wanted to scream, "I'll go out with you!" My life is so predictable, it kills. And about the other guy I like he makes me nervous when I'm around him. Maybe I have an issue with having a relationship. Like, since I figured out guy #2 likes me, I don't like him as much anymore. I'm pathetic.

I looked at the newspaper this morning and my name is in the high school honor roll. I think my GPA is 3.7776. Or something like that. I'm so proud! This is what my report card grades looked like:
band: A-
algebra: A-
biology: B
art: A
honors english: A
world studies: A
I made some avatars for you guys! I've been trying to make lots of new content:

12:24 p.m.
I got home from flute lesson and Corridon's house not too long ago. When I got home and after I took a relaxing bath I walked into my room and looked at my whiteboard. There was a picture cut out of the newspaper on it. I took a closer look and it was Kurtis wearing a golf uniform. There were little pink hearts drawn above his head with gel pen and the magnets that were holding it on the board said, "my love". I groaned, ran down stairs and walked into the other bathroom where my mom was, and said, "Sooo...my love," and she started laughing and I said, "I'm not talking to you I'm talking to Kurtis" and I pulled out the newspaper clipping. My mom cracks me up sometimes!
Thursday we had a tennis meet. I played doubles twice, and we lost both sets. (0-8, 1-8) Then I played singles for the first time and I lost that (2-8). The girl I played against in singles was SO annoying. And Leila (a girl on our team) came up to me yesterday and she's like, "that girl was so annoying. You like, got played". I seriously had no idea what she meant by that, but I guess she had sympathy for me, so I'm like, "yeah I was getting really annoyed." Haha. I don't get some of this 'teenage slang'.
So I got back from Corridon's house today, I stayed the night. We watched "The Notebook" and "Win a Date With Tad Hamilton". We played Skipbo, that's a fun game. I told Corridon about the guy I like. I swear one minute I like him, and the next minute I don't. I'm like bipolar or something. It's like I've been trying to get over him...but I can't. And he likes me but I...dunno. I'm like afraid of having a boyfriend or something. Like when I went out with him in 7th grade he was sweet and perfect. Giving me a corsage, letting me use his sweatshirt when I was cold, and he said the right things, and offered to pay for things for me. But it's like...I'm so scared of never being alone. That should be like, the total opposite you would think...but I don't know. This whole teenage romance stuff is complicated ;]

I have written in forever. I've had sooo much going on! Tons of school stuff. I'm getting ready for a flute recital Sunday where I'm playing a duet. I've been doing good in math. I'm working on a big poster in Biology. In art I've just been goofing off and having fun. We've started reading "A Midsummer night's Dream" in English. In World Studies - same old, same old. Today we had a tennis match and my parents came but since i'm in the exibition team I didn't end up getting to play after all. Tomorrow I might go see Sidney play baseball with Kirsten after tennis practice. We're going to make T-shirts and signs that say "Go Sidney!!" Haha. :] He's soo looking forward to it. Hmm I went shopping and bought TONS of stuff at Aeropostale. Shorts, jeans, T-Shirts, sweaters, shoes, a bag, etc. Haha. :] Yay. I know I'm forgetting to write tons of stuff down but I have to get ready for bed soon. And I NEED to have my snack.

Today I didn't really do much. I just hung around the house and worked on my website. Do you like it, by the way? I think the site turned out pretty fabulously :] haha. I still have to add more graphics and stuff but that can be done later. I stayed at my Grandmaman's Monday night and my Mom, Grandmaman, and I all went to the mall. I got TONS of clothes at Aeropostale. Tomorrow my parents are taking me shopping. I'm tre excited! HUH. Well that's about all I have to write for now.
