LOOK who decided to SHOW
I am sorry, believe me. I meant to post. I really did. So here's what's been up since December 2:
1)The reason that I've not posted is probably because I've been working on my world regional project. Burma is quite an awful place to be. The military junta government is terrible to the people; I'm sure you all remember in May when the cyclone hit and they refused outside aid for a while cause they didn't trust other countries. How bad? Anyway, I finished it on time and all is well.
2)The Christmas Concert happened at my school. I think I did all right, but then again I was only singing with like fifty other people. So no pressure, really. I've been wanting to make it into the girls' choir for a while now. Auditions are at the beginning of the year; last year I didn't try out because I was a freshman with just an all right voice so I didn't think I'd make it. This year I tried but didn't make it; however, to my credit, the exact same people who were in it last year were in it this year as well, so, you know. I am kind of a soprano, second soprano really, and there are three out of four sopranos graduating this year, so I think I've got good chances. I went through a period where I didn't think I could ever get in, and a period where I was sure I could do it...I also want to get into the Chamber Choir, which is more advanced...they're awesome. But who knows what will happen?
3)Many of our Christmas ornaments got ruined in my basement--molded from water damage. My mother was pretty upset--not terribly, but I could tell she was still upset. Our stockings were all ruined, too. I walked to Wal*Mart and I bought her two different four-piece sets of ornaments: one set is purple with a white dove on each of them with swirly white letters that say "peace on earth" and the other is gold with a red poinsettia on each. I think she'll be pleased!!
4)I sang karaoke today; 2/3 songs weren't so bad. Lily missed "When I'm 64" so it didn't turn out so well, but "Part of Your World" and "I Put Your Picture Away" were all right. And I won two darts in English for my masterful comments on the amazing Ethan Frome. For the sake of someone reading this blog right now (you KNOW who you are!!!) I won't say what I said...spoilers he won't want to know about.
5)'Twas the last day of school of 2008...I didn't hug everyone good-bye and say the cliché "see you next year!!" thing...disappointing. But that's okay. I may see some of my friends tomorrow, and I know I'll see my best friend but...still. We were supposed to have a half day tomorrow, but school was canceled cause the weather should be bad. I'm fine with that!
So that's what's going on...hopefully I'll write more frequently in the future. Au revoir!

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"
Unconditional Desires.
- To finish writing a piece of literature.
- To have a fabulous new hair cut. (Achieved!)
- To travel throughout France.
- To experience zero gravity without going to space.
- To live in New York City with a friend for several years.
- To meet Neil Patrick Harris...I hear that guy's awesome.
- To be in a beauty pageant, then laugh with my friends at what a ridiculous idea it was.
- To nab a leading role in a play/musical at my school.
The endless connections.
