I'm sorry!!

Holy cow, it's been three weeks... My apologies!
Work and ballet started so I've been super busy... School starts very soon, and I'm looking forward to that... ??? WHAT!? That doesn't make sense! Well, when school starts I'll have a more organized schedule and work will be over... so... That's still crazy.

It's been really interesting these past three weeks... I went to Soak City, a huuuge waterpark, and had a blast (now I'm weirdly tan). I went to a cast reunion party thingymerbobby. I'm in the process of painting my room to look like this, so I'm sleeping in my sisters room while all my stuff is pushed to the middle of my room. Uhm... I got married? Haha, but not for real! I got married to Jalen. The ceremony was... interesting, to say the least. Yeah, it's been fun.
OH! I saw Elf for the first time ever! And it was actually good... I never like comedies - I hate Napoleon Dynamite, and Dumb and Dumber - but it was really good. Will Ferrell is a little eh, but I liked the movie.

Uhmmmmm yeah... OHOHOH!! NUTCRACKER AUDITIONS IN LESS THAN TWO WEEKS!!!!!!!!!! AAAAAAHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!! ... ahem. If you couldn't tell, I'm really excited.

That's all I guess... I'm hoping to have Ian and Jalen over today to finish up my room and then to just hang.

Byebye!

Haven't Been Here In A Long Time

That's from TobyMac's son's song. Teehee, he's so cute.

Anyways, when was my last post? I don't ever remember. Oh, only a week ago, I'm not that bad. Happy August, by the way.

Well, I have this idea. It's been in the back of my mind since probably the beginning of high school, but it's been bugging a whole lot recently. I want to dye my hair red. I'm crazy, yeah? However, it's not because I'm being rebellious or because I don't like my natural hair color... Don't get me wrong, I love my hair color, but having red hair has been a dream of mine for a loooong time. Like... since I watched the Little Mermaid, haha. So... yeah, I want to do that.

Right now I'm in the process of reorganizing my room, which is something I like doing, except for the fact that it's *my* room, and frankly, I don't care. Now, I know that's terrible, and you should clean your room if your parents say, but hey. It's my room. Oh well, it's a way to pass time. It's also a stress reliever for me. Which is... odd to say the least. But seriously, if I'm upset or annoyed or something, I can just clean and it makes me feel better. Productive, eh?

Ah, question. How do you all feel about emoticons? These little thingies... :] :[ :P :D XD haha, I love them so much. I generally try to avoid them in my posts, though, because I don't even know. It makes me seem really middle-schoolerish to other people I guess. Or that's what I think. I also realize that my writing is really, really, really bad. If I try (really, really, really hard), I'm a good writer. Or... at least my dad says I am. However, here I just kind of write like I talk. So, I'll start a sentence with a conjunction *gasp* or something like that. But (see, right there) I don't really care. If you mind, tell me, and I'll fix it I guess... Or maybe not. Actually, I probably won't fix it simply because I'll forget, haha. I'm so sorry if I do forget, though. Thoughts?

Also, video blogging, or vlogging, is something I've been interested in since I saw Mitchell Davis's livelavalive videos. I recently found an awesome youtuber (can't remember if I told you or not) called charlieissocoollike. So... tell me what you think. I don't know if I could do it 'cause I'm super not-computer savvy. See that? I just used a pirate word.

I think that's enough rambling.
Oh, but I did get engaged to my friend Michael over the weekend. Not for real engaged, just for pretend engaged. Even though I'm already pretend engaged... If you're actually engaged, don't do that! But if it's for pretend, it should be fine.

Bye bye!

7 months...

In seven months, minus a couple days, I'm going to be eighteen... weird. Exciting, but weird.

I'm going to Grand Rapids tomorrow!!! Yay!!! I get to go visit Iain and do this thingy for school. The person in charge of the place I'm going doesn't like high schoolers, though... Wish me luck... >_<

Today I went to Joe's house to help him paint... So... much... paint... Oh my goodness, I washed my hair like, three times and there was still paint in it. Gah.

I'm tired. And don't really have much to post. So, good night.

Paramore is awesome, and so is my best friend

Paramore. One of my most favouritest (yes, most favouritest) bands ever. Hayley Williams has one of the most amazing voices I've *ever* heard. Lately, I've been trying to learn a couple of their songs on the guitar, but they're really hard... So far I can play Turn It Off, The Only Exception, Feeling Sorry, and Misery Business. Except, I cheat and use a capo, haha.

Alright, so I lied. I said next post would be another mini-bio, but it wasn't. So I'll make up for it.

He bought us a Wonka bar to share so we were all pretty excited. I look really weird in this photo, but that's okay! I look weird in most photos. Anyways. The tall guy is Jalen. All the short people are his siblings. In height/age order, Luke, who now has super short hair, Morgan, and Parker. Surprisingly enough (as in not surprising at all), I really hated him until about sophomore year. Then my sister got to know him, and I just kinda started not to hate him. The reason I didn't like him was really dumb - when we were in about 5th grade we were in the play Twelfth Night together. He was Duke Orsino and I was Olivia. He screwed up his line and I despised him for that. Later, he and his friend Josh would tease me while I was washing the windows by putting their hands on them, right after they were washed. Needless to say, they got some Windex on them... Anyways, I really didn't like him. Or his little friend, Josh, but that's a different matter. Now we're super tight, and it's really funny.
Some odd facts... uhm... Let's see, his birthday is on October eleventh, so in 2012, his birthday will be 10-11-12!! We have virtually identical music tastes. There are about two songs he likes that I don't, and I don't think he doesn't like anything I listen to. If that made sense. We also have the same favourite colour.
I could keep going on and on, but I don't have time. So... yeah.

For the guy who's my best friend, even though I despised him for the first ten or so years I knew him. Love you! :]

By the way, I have a whole lot of best friends, if you didn't catch that already.

Do you ever say, "I should have?"
I've realized that I hardly ever regret anything. If I do, it drives me absolutely nuts and I get really depressed. I don't, and my friends definitely don't, appreciate when I'm depressed, so I try to stay happy. That's so superficial, but I don't like seeing people sad. If people see me sad, they usually end up a little less happy.

That's all that's on my mind... Well, not all, but all that you get to know.

Love,
Sarah @)~

O hai

Teehee... icanhascheezburger.com has a bunch of these random cat photos.

That photo makes me laugh so hard, hahahaha!

*ahem* anyways. I'm really bored. Really, really bored. I shouldn't be. This is the bored where I really ought to be doing something productive - like eating or doing chores - but I'd really rather stay in my room and do absolutely nothing. That's a problem.

This morning I was in dreamland having some obscure dream that I don't even remember anymore. Then my phone rang. My bed is, at the moment, covered in stuffed animals due to some shelf-moving that's happening right now. I dug around for a while and finally found the dumb phone after it stopped ringing, of course. Now, while I'm not a huge fan of being woken up, I don't mind being woken up by a friend's phone call. It was Jalen wondering about the Art Fair that's going on right now. I really want to go, but with my mom up north and us only having one car down here, that's kind of hard. So we'll try tomorrow. I hope.

I went to Eaton Rapids camp this weekend! It was really fun. I wish I could've stayed longer. It was pretty cool, we had a bunch of Bible studies and worship times. The whole camp is super Spirit-infused. It's really neat.

That's really all I have to say... Not much has been going on around here. Let's see if that'll change.

Johnny Depp or Orlando Bloom?

In the past week I've watched Edward Scissorhands, Pirates of the Caribbean, and the Fellowship of the Ring. Two movies with Johnny Depp and two with Orlando Bloom. I think I like them equally. Johnny Depp is more the crazy, insane genius, while Orlando Bloom is the pretty boy who's super cool.

On Saturday I went to my friend Michael's house. We did this crazy ab workout and I'm still sore... Guh, I'm so out of shape. I really need to get back to dancing.

There aren't any real words to sum up what I'm feeling right now. Just gr. But that's not a real word.
Tonight I'm going out with a bunch of people, so hopefully I'll feel better after that, but right now I'm just frustrated.

I'm trying to write something, but I keep getting stuck. I'll write about a paragraph and get bored and/or distracted... It's based on the Jack and Jill poem.

Jack and Jill went up the hill
To fetch a pail of water
Jack fell down and broke his crown
And Jill came tumbling after

Next time I'll write another mini-bio.

A Llama

That's right, a llama. Rachael is the best llama in the world. Haha, I don't even remember why she's a llama, she just is. I gave her a llama named Douglas for her birthday. He's pretty cute. Not quite as cute as her, though.
I don't actually know when we became friends... It might have been church, it might have been the homeschool group, but either way, it was always Sarah and Rachael. Of course, it gets kind of confusing 'cause my sister's name is Rachel.
Her birthday is November 4. She has a brother, Joel, who's usually annoys the ever living crud out of us, haha. She loves music a ton. (SHE'S CRAZY FOR NOT LIKING THE SONG AIRPLANES) hahaha. She loves her friends a ton.
We have a bunch of inside jokes, too, so if you find yourself completely confused around us (see above), that's perfectly normal and you're not the first. We're pretty much two of the craziest girls you'll ever meet. Ever. Once, Mr. Anderson said, "Oh no, the Sarah-Rachael tornado" or something like that. :]
There's way too much I could say about her, so I'll just stop here.

For the girl who's put up with me for these fourteen years, and gone so far as to be my best friend. I love you! <3

Cute?

"Cuteness is usually characterized by (though not limited to) some combination of infant-like physical traits, especially small body size with a disproportionately large head, large eyes, a pleasantly fair, though not necessarily small nose, dimples, and round and softer body features. Infantile personality traits, such as playfulness, fragility, helplessness, curiosity, innocence, affectionate behavior, and a need to be nurtured are also generally considered cute."
~ Wikipedia
Hm... Interesting.

Anyways, I only got one comment before about what I should post, and that's in favour of the whole biography deal, which was what I was leaning towards anyways. I'll start next post with either Alec or Rachael. I don't know why, but Alec is usually the first person I think of when I think of my friends. Maybe it's because his name starts with A, haha. Well, we'll see what happens.

In other news, Pandora is a life-saver right now. It's this sweet internet radio thing where you can plug in a song or a band or whatever, and it'll play more songs related to that song or band. Check it out, it's awesome. I listen to it whenever I'm on the computer, which is... a lot more than I should be, haha.

I'm going to see Avatar: The Last Airbender movie today!!! AAAHHH!!! Haha, I'm such a geek. Anyways, it was this awesome cartoon on Nick a while back, and now it's a movie. I'm pretty excited.

I have a Hammy Pez. But I'm out of candy. *pout*

Seeya!

Happy July

I'm a month closer to leaving my house. Thank goodness.
Eight more months, and I'll be eighteen.
I still don't know what I'm going to do for the rest of forever, but I just go with the flow. Wherever God leads me, that's where I'll be. Maybe I should do some planning, but it's so darn confusing. I'll just let God do it. I won't worry. Worrying makes a sad Sarah.

In other news, I have a floor again. This last two months has been crazy and I've had no time (or motivation) to clean my room. But I finally did it. Mostly.

I'm off to Rachael's house now.

Love,
Sarah @)~

June's almost over...

...hello, Summer.

So, I haven't really had much to post about lately, so ideas would be appreciated!
Options are...
*Write a story? I have enough free time now... just no ideas. I'm sure I could conjure up something if I really tried.
*Write about an issue? Family, friendships, relationships, school, etc...
*Write about my awesome friends? I've had this idea for a while. I'll write a biography or something about each of my friends, one post at a time. I think it'd be pretty cool.

I don't know what to do! Help me out!

In the meantime...
I got a haircut. Finally. I haven't gotten it cut since August... But I really like it.
I have blue duct tape in my room.
Photoshop is fun.
I miss my friends.
Jono's going to the Dominican Republic.
I should pray more.
I need to go to the Apple Store.

Oh, check this out: Children of the Night
It's a fantasy story my friend Jalen is writing. It's pretty nifty. Nifty? Who uses that word anymore? Apparently I do.
And this: You're the Reason ~ Victoria Justice
Can't remember if I've posted this before. Don't think so. It's a good song.

Signing off.
Love,
Sarah @)~
