People Fascinate Me
I do believe it is true; I have spent the past few days learning of them. Wikipedia is my best friend. I don't believe everything is entirely non-factual. Clearly someone OCD would notice if something was incorrect. But that is not why I'm here.
Some of the most fascinating?
Marie Antoinette--do you know that she hardly had any influence on her husband, the king? That she had to marry him at the age of fourteen? That people didn't trust her merely because she was Austrian? Yes, she did live a lavish lifestyle there for a while--but she was young and, frankly, everyone was flipping at her because her husband would not sleep with her. Really. Can you entirely blame her? But she grew up. She became a mother. And she had to endure the death of her child. She was constantly the subject of rumors. After all the revolution deal with her family being put in prison she had to live for ten months as a widow before she, too, was tried for treason. The trial was pre-decided, but they went through with it anyway. Do you know they accused her of sexually abusing her own son? And the worst--they had coached him, her son, to say that this was true. Her protests were so emotional that women who stormed the palace couldn't help but take her side. And they killed her anyway.
Oscar Wilde--A gay writer when it was pretty much illegal to be so. [gay, not a writer...] need I say more?
Jimmy Stewart--Rated the third best actor of classic hollywood, his only fault being his major conservatism. He wrote poetry, loved his wife (believe me, nobody was quite faithful then), had a sense of humor, went into the army when he could have stayed home. I love him, and were he alive and a similar age to me, I would have given Gloria someone to be jealous of.
And many more...those are the currents, though. I bid adieu, for I tire of typing.

Reach my prismic soul.
"Only theatre people have musical moments."
-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"
