Hey y'all,
Sorry I haven't posted in a while, but I had a summer job that just ate up my time. And let me tell you, painting porches is very tiring work...
Just FYI, this post might be kind of scatterbrained, because I stayed up until about 1:30 last night... oops... Now I'm slightly ill, and my brain is totally missing.
In other news, welcome back to school! I just finished getting a ton of notebooks, folders, etc. I also got some Skullcandy speakers for my iPod! With a clicker, (or remote control, for all you weird people) so I don't have to run back and forth across the room while I'm teaching! I teach dance, by the way. Cha-ching!! I'm psyched.
I must be a 90's kid... yesterday I used the term 'problemo' and it made me slightly nostalgic... haha. I also use the phrases 'the bomb' and 'psych'... Tell me, am I weird? Or is at 90's kid thing?
It's time for something interesting.
I'll make a list of some of my favorite songs, and some favorite lines from them.
Time of Dying ~ Three Days Grace :: "I will not die, I'll wait here for you. I feel alive when you're beside me."
Animal I Have Become ~ Three Days Grace :: I just really love the bass in that song.
Love Story ~ Taylor Swift :: "Don't be afraid, we'll make it out of this mess."
There For You ~ Flyleaf :: "I hear the whispered words in your masterpiece beautiful. You speak the unspeakable. I love you, too"
So Help Me God ~ Fireflight :: "So help me God to let this go. To let this go. So help me God to break this hold. To find myself."
Wrapped in Your Arms ~ Fireflight :: "I here to stay, nothing can separate us. I know I'm okay. You cradle me gently. Wrapped in your arms, I'm home. I'm home."
Everything ~ Lifehouse :: You just have to hear that one. It's awesome.
Barlow girls ~ Superchic[k] :: I love all the words.
Princes and Frogs (Underdog Mix) ~ Superchic[k] :: "All princes start as frogs, all gentlemen as dogs. Just wait 'till it's plain to see what we're growing up to be. 'Cause some frogs will still be frogs and some dogs will still be dogs. Some boys will become men, just don't kiss us 'till then."
Deliverance ~ We As Human :: "And then one day I met you and you took it all away! I no longer hate myself..."
I'm Taking You With Me ~ Reliant K :: I love all the words.
I have a lot more 'favorite' songs... but here's a small list.
Also, any suggestions for songs I should buy?

Disappointed and Disappointing
Alright, serious post time.
On Saturday I went to see Ponyo (very cute, by the way) at Quality 16. When we got back to their house we were planning on taking a bike ride around the neighborhood. About fifteen minutes after we get back and three and a half hours before we're supposed to leave, I get a phone call from my mom. She says she's sick, my little sister is bored, and we need to come home right away. I was extremely frustrated with Lydia, my mom, and pretty much everything in life.
On Sunday we were supposed to go to the beach with our friends, however my mom was still sick, so we couldn't. We rescheduled it for tomorrow, Wednesday the 19th. Unfortunately, I've been planning a trip to Cedar Pointe, an amusement park, for tomorrow for about 11 months now.
My mom is mad at me because I'm choosing to go to Cedar Pointe instead of the beach. I'm just sticking with my commitment. I view my commitments as promises, things not to be broken.
I'm kind of down right now, so prayer would be cool. Prayer to not freak out at my mom for freaking out at me. Prayer to know that I've made the right decision... or wrong one. Prayer for peace. Thanks a bunch.

Oh, right. I also chopped off all my hair. ...And I'm not Catholic, my friend just gave me a rosary, which I hung up on my wall.

God's poking me...
So, today I'm hanging out at the Common Cup, which is a café in the basement of our church.
I'm on the computer, obviously. I tried to log onto my Facebook, but it wouldn't work. I kept trying, but it kept freezing, which meant I needed to keep restarting Firefox. That was irritating. Then I realized, 'You know, I spend so much time on Facebook, and not enough time helping my mom, or playing with my sisters, or stuff that's way more important that talking to friends on a virtual world.' I think stuff like AIM, Yahoo messenger, and Facebook are great, but they can consume your life. You can spend hours doing absolutely nothing except staring at a screen watching pointless movies. There are so much better things to do!!
Today I just felt God going *poke poke* I'm still here. *poke poke* Do the work your mom told you to do. *poke poke* Come on, you need to stop centering your life around friends.
Whoa. That's kind of big for me. Friends are probably the biggest part of my life. They're probably getting even bigger than God... oops. So. I'm going to try and give God the glory, give God the praise, give God the attention in all I do.

Today's the DAAAAAY! The sun is SHINING!!!!! The tank is CLEEEEEEAN!!!!
Yes, I'm quoting Nemo.
Quoting is a fun way of talking, I suppose. We play a game in drama improv where you have to talk using only the names of songs or the names of books... it's extremely difficult. You have to be really smart/a real nerd to play. *laugh* Just kidding. But you do have to know a lot about music in order to play. Which I don't... dang.
I really need to clean my room... and my letters decided to italicize themselves without my permission. Oh well, it looks cccoll.... col.cool. Oh, wow.... I need some more sleep. My sisters went to drama camp this morning and were really really loud, which woke me up. Gr.
Off to the cleaning! Urgh.

Mixer Explosion!
Alright, story time!!
About a year or so ago, my mom was cooking with our electric mixer. All of a sudden, she hears a loud 'POP' and the mixer turns off. She looks down and sees Lydia, my little sister, with a pair of dognail clippers... and the wire cut in half. We still have a black spot on our silverware drawers from where it exploded. I thought it was hilarious. Lydia, however, did not. She started crying, poor thing. Now we have a pink mixer, with which, I'm in the process of making a cake!!!!
The end.
And I'm changing my signature.

Prayer would be cool...
Hey,
I'm kind of freaking out. I don't know what's happening, but at this point I just feel like I'm on autopilot. I'd just like stuff to get back to the way it was... even though I know that's not going to happen. As close to normal as possible... which is pretty dang far from regular normal for me. *smirk*
Life is weird.
It decides to be wonderful for a couple days, then all of a sudden decides to throw a curve ball at me. But, I guess that's how it works.
Maybe I haven't been depending on God enough in my good times, as well as in my rough ones. Oops. Well, word of advice: Lean on God even when your life seems like nothing could go wrong!
Thanks,
Sarah @)~

Ho, wow.
I don't know where to start...... I'm just kind of... wheeee!!!!
I need to go to Best Buy sometime soon... my iPod is dead, and the charger that connects to the computer isn't working... Nor will my iPod turn on... *crying*
I'm excited for tomorrow! Brandon is bringing his guitar and I'm bringing my violin and we're going to play worship songs!!
Today I was playing my violin and I learned a song called Tambourin by Grétry, or something like that... I don't remember his name. It's a pretty easy song, but it's really fancy and sounds hard. It's also really fun.
I'm just really tired today... and really hungry. It's nine and I still haven't eaten dinner... oops!
Hugs and Kisses,
~Sarah~
