Addition
Math is never exciting...never. One could say I hate it. One could. Particularly geometry; shapes and angles and postulates and whatnot...it clearly isn't my thing. But addition...addition I don't mind.They always say that you have to remember you'll use math in your real life...in the future. Of course I don't believe that. Hardly. For what job will I need to calculate the measure of an angle? Engineer? I won't be an engineer; it does not seem in the cards pour moi. But addition is the only thing I can see myself using in the future...Take today for example. Today, I have a new addition to my family--today, my second cousin Stephen Micheal [last name withheld to protect the newborn] was born. How sad, for him, to have just missed Halloween! But he is here, now. He's come into one of the only good marriages in my family--my cousin and his wife. They're very much in love--thats the type of thing you say very much to. Just like someone is always "very much alive". (Have you noticed?)But that tangent is immaterial; the point is a baby has been born. I know, happens every day; but today you notice special things. You notice that a woman has become a great-grandmother; you notice that there hasn't been a little one since you were born; you notice that maybe life doesn't suck after all.Am I overly optimistic in this particular post? Cheesy? Sentimental? All of the above, of course. But why not? Babies can do that to people. Or at least, me. I just mean in all of this: its a good day when a baby is born. So shouldn't every day be good?

-Myself
Hello world. My name is Sarah; what's yours?
I love: my long, teal, knit, fingerless gloves; being able to pack that many adjectives into one description; thinking; my awesome friends; my lovable family; the theatre--both acting in and watching; my iPod; classical music; Five For Fighting music; ...music...; "How I Met Your Mother"; Neil Patrick Harris; writing; papaya lip gloss; "Friends"; the interwebz; English Class; movies; awards shows; chocolate related things; New York City; Boston; Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert; telling people about the things I love (apparently.)
I hate: negativity (well isn't that the hypocritical statement of the century); stupid people; bad parents; thinking; my inability to fall asleep quickly; sunburns; touching/eating sea creatures; insects; my bangs separating; writer's block; sickness; my own forgetfulness; my own impatience; know-it-alls; IRKs; intolerance; static electricity; dirt under my fingernails.
Quote of the week:
"Yes, I'm grounded: got my wings clipped. I'm surrounded by all this pavement. Guess I'll circle while I'm waiting for my fuse to dry. Someday I'll fly; someday, I'll soar. Someday I'll be so damn much more; cause I'm bigger than my body gives me credit for."
~John Mayer, "Bigger Than My Body"
