Happy New Year!!!

Alright, my New Year's Resolution is to forget about what happened-you know what i am talking about. It is just messing up my life right now and it is time to move on. Other than that i want to just better myself and clean up my relationships. That way i can make a new start-or at least a better start-at Pike High School next-lol, this-year. Oh, and i need to start thinking about birthdays...bwahaha, super fun!!! (i have half a mind just to give my bro a condom for his b-day, just to see his reaction...*evil laughter*) Ah, well, gtg 'cus mom is being evil... I mean seriously, the point of New Year's is to stay up all night with friends and celebrate. And if i cant hang out with friends that didnt invite me anywhere, i can celebrate on World of Warcraft! Yah!!!

Watching Fergie and Sean Kingston: super fun!

Fanfiction.com

Carmen is a super awesome friend. Like, seriously.

She has introduced me to fanfiction. Thank you to the deity above us. Fan fiction is awesome on so many levels i cant even describe it.

I will also now be hopefully creating some stories to put on it (and probably on here). Also i wil put Carmen's stories on here when she sends them to me. Super fun!

Who Loves Sprinkles

Adrien

Okay, so things are kind of okay not really. I have decided to just ignore things and hope i will forget about it and that i dont have to talk to adrien again for a while. It is not likely that this will happen; as well, this is not a very good plan in any way shape or form. But it is the only thing i can do right now, so i guess i will just have to deal with it for right now, and maybe i wont have to deal with it for a while. Oh well. But yeah, i am just going to ignore it.

Worried about this evening

Theism

n.   Belief in the existence of a god or gods, especially belief in a personal God as creator and ruler of the world. 

Okay, i know that my mom doesn't like it much, but i am really not a Christian. I have been trying to find a belief system/faith that would explain my thoughts, but i couldn't find anything until recently. I think Theism is basically what i am going for.

Maddie - The Emails After The Post

Maddie:

i am now going to be honest. completely.

i'm an awful person who doesn't deserve friends. i lie. all the time. i lie before i even have a chance to consider telling the truth. i want everyone to love me, and not have to work at it in return. i had a party. i lied to you about it. for that i am sorry, but not for not inviting you. heres the thing, when it's just you and me, and maybe one other person, your awesome. but when you are around a large group of people your someone else entirely. you talk over people, and shove your way into conversations that you don't belong in. i should have told you this before and given you time to fix it, and then proceed to invite you. but i didn't. because, as i said before, i am a lazy ass person who didn't want to have to go out of my way. if you don't want to be my friend, i realize that is completely my fault. i probably didn't deserve for you to ever trust me. you were honest with me, and i didn't return the favor.

Sarah:

Alright. Thanks for being honest. I really wasn't mad as much as hurt that you didn't invite me anyway. I really do want to be friends with  you, and all of you guys, but i just hate who i am with you. I try not to shove into conversations, but it doesn't always work as well as i plan.  I just hate that i am so horrible to you guys when i am with all of you together, because i feel like i have just taken a little bit of everyone that fits in, and become someone who just doesn't work with the equation. I do forgive you, but just at least tell me next time you have a party. I dont mind not being invited for the same reasons you didn't invite me. I am used to that. I just dont want to be sneaked around and lied to. I get that it is just part of you to automatically lie  so as long as you tell me the truth later on, i am okay with it. Thanks for telling me the truth.

I gtg, but i will talk to you if i can later. Thanks

~Sarah

Pay It Forward

Pay It Forward. It's an amazing book. I just finished reading it, and i am absolutely satisfied with it. I knew that Trevor was going to die, though. I mean, it wasn't obvious, but it was inevitable. And not "everyone has to die sometime", it was like in this one book whose name i cant remember and its pissing me off... Well, you know what i mean. Like that feeling you get when you know that something has to happen? Its that thing that you know. It has to happen, or it would leave the story incomplete, you know? Like the---YAH!!!!!! i remember the story!!!!! (im doing that twitching thing--you know what im talking about, carmen...(like at August Rush...lol)) It was Bridge to Terabithia! You know, because Leslie HAS to die or it wouldn't feel right? It still makes you sad, and you still say "why was it so-and-so" but in your gut or your heart or your soul or wherever you get your feeling  you know that it had to happen and then it isn't really better, but you have come to terms with it. Well, that is what it feels like. 

And i knew that it was going to happen. The author left subtle hints, like the fact that one of the books was named Those who knew Him (or whatever it was called...).

About to get caught at three in the morning...

Peanuts, Straws, and Holiday Hats

Okay, i had THE best time last night! I went to the movie with Carmen, except that we were there for at least two hours beforehand, and we went with her family. Uber fun.



So it started when, well, we got there. I had just been to Michael's with my mom, and i had a supercool bouncy ball. its awesome! Then we got to go to Books a Million so my Parental Units could leave. *sigh* they are soooo embarassing...and by embarassing i mean my mom making sure to tell the cashier that i had already bought the book i had brought in with me. I mean seriously! Can you say "unnessecary"?! GAH!

But anyway, we hung out at BAM for a while. We did all kinds of stuff, like take random pictures and creep out other customers and talk to the employees and flick water at each other and wear funny christmas hats and randomly gush over stuff and find a bday present for maddie and get bittersweet hot chocolate that melts my teeth and use the whipped cream from said hot chocolate to make a mustache and use straw which was used to drink said hot chocolate with said whipped cream used to make said mustache as a fake cigarette to make fun of people and have random dance parties and make fun of people with fake boobs and other stuff like that. It was lots of fun.



Then we had to go to the movies. Thankfully i did not have to pay for the ticket because they are such nice people, because i am SERIOUSLY running out of money. Especially since there is a chance i might have to replace my retainer....but that is another story.

The movie was pretty cool, and i think that the email that was sent around about The Golden Compass is bullshit, because it had nothing to do with the movie, and even if it did no one noticed at all. But i almost missed like half the movie because Carmen and me kept making fun of it. It was hilarious!



Then there was the ride home. That is a whole new subject all together. 'cus, can i just say that the Benhemida family ROCKS MY SOCKS?! They are freakin awesome man!!! Her dad is hilarious and we had soooooooooo much fun!!! Oh, and the peanut thing... rotflmao. i swear at one point i was actually ROLLING ON THE FLOOR LAUGHING MY ASS OFF!!! The peanut thing--well, when they first came to take us to the movie, Carmen was like, "well my dad sometimes says inapropriate stuff, so when he does he always says 'look--distraction!' Like one time we were in the car and he was like, 'look, a seagull!' and my sister looked for it for like five minutes until he told her that there really wasnt actually a seagull." So then i was laughing--plus i was high on bittersweet hot chocolate, and i can not be responsible for my actions when there is hot chocolate involved--and i pointed and said, "look--a peanut!" So we just HAD to be perverted about that, so by the time we got to her parents and sister we were almost hysterical with laughter. and then someone just had to ask why we were laughing, so i repeated, "Look--a peanut!"



Yes, you know you love us.



and we love you all.



Like, literally AND spiritually, man...



haha. Juliet...she is so funny...





Happy Thanksweenmas.

Mormans

What IS a Morman, anyway? I mean, seriously?...

Grrful...

Okay, your going to have to let me be grrful right now, because i am in quite the mood to growl and it is just not a nice thing to growl at people. Especially when it is almost Christmahanakwanzica. But i am grrful right now because of the stupid essay assigned by Ms. Butler due on Friday which--incase you do not take care to know the date--is in less than two days, not including Friday (because i have to turn it in on friday...duh...)! I am very unhappy about it, and i am waiting currently for my mom to finish editing what i have of an essay right now. If worst comes to worst and i dont have any inspiration, i can always just ramble on a bit on how the rest of the story caused the civilization to deteriorate and then say how bad an author Golding is and then end it. I already have three pages, even not double-spaced, so i think i will survive.

Just for you, i will put what i currently have done of my essay on here:

Lord of the Flies:

Decline of an Island Society

 

As many people have said, Lord of the Flies, by William Golding, is a story about society. It is about life, and about how people and situations affect it. Perhaps if Ralph had not been on the island, Jack would have turned out better. Perhaps if there had been some girls or adults on the island, things would not have gotten so bad so fast. But he wasn’t and they weren’t. There are many ways in which the island deteriorated, and Golding explains why and how they were throughout the novel.

“Democracy: the state of affairs in which you consent to having your pocket picked, and elect the best man to do it” (Benjamin Lichtenberg). In the case of Lord of the Flies this is a very true quote. Either way the coin falls, someone is going to loose. Although not everyone realizes it, the first blow to the island society is when the society is created. A leader has to be chosen; there are two boys to choose from. Neither boy is the best for the job, nor does anyone wants to vote the wrong way. How the boys voted would establish their fate on the cursed isle.

Ralph was chosen as a leader, and thus named a protagonist. But even his first decision was a mistake: Jack became leader of the hunt. This meant that Jack thought that he had as much power as Ralph. This belief, in the end, actually caused his true dictatorship to reign. At first he did not have much power. Soon enough, though, his green becomes known and he begins taking over.

Jacks domination scheme begins with the hunt for the pig. He takes his followers and goes on a mad hunt for a pig. Then when the hunters (who were supposed to be wetching and tending the fire) returned back, they found Ralph and Piggy leading angrily against them. This is the first show of disobedience and defiance from Jack and his followers, and the first glimpses of Jack’s insanity growing. “Jack, his face smeared with clays, reached the top first and hailed Ralph excitedly, with lifted spear.

“’Look! We’ve killed a pig—we stole up on them—we got in a circle’…

“Ralph spoke.

“’You let the fire go out.’

“Jack checked, vaguely irritated by this irrelevance, but too happy to let it worry him.

“’We can light the fire again.’…

“Ralph spoke again, hoarsely. He had not moved.

“’You let the fire go out.’

“This repetition made Jack uneasy. He loked at the twins then back at Ralph…..

“(Piggy said,) ‘You and your blood, Jack Merridew! You and your hunting! We might have gone home—‘

“Ralph pushed piggy to one side.

“’I was chief, and you were going to do what I said. You talk. But you can’t even build huts—then you go off hunting and let out the fire—‘’’ (Golding 69-71)

Golding uses this to show that he thinks the island began breaking down when there was too much mixed power and friction.

A little bit after this encounter with Jack and the fire, Ralph calls an assembly. The assembly did not go quite as planned, because the littluns began voicing doubts about the safety of the forest. They began talking about a “beast”, and this caused fear and confusion. Fear is always a large factor in breaking down society. It causes people to worry more than necessary, and to accuse people of more wrongdoing. Terror is a simple way to cause chaos. It was not what caused all of the chaos in this case, but it lit the flames of turmoil.

I do not believe that what had happened so far in the book is likely at all. First of all, this is nothing like the typical behavior of boys ages about seven to twelve. Frankly, they would most likely have gotten into some sort of mud or dirt fight immediately. What kind of child recognizes a conch shell and immediately thinks to use it as a calling device.

It is also completely implausible that they would revert to savagery so quickly after landing. Within days of the crash, Jack has gathered a crew of hunters to forage the island for meat. He was completely obsessed with the blood and hunting and it would have been near impossible for him to just instantly become so feral.

Next in the novel comes the arrival of the dead parachutist. There had already been fear and caution spread among the boys, and a slightest upset would cause them to do something feckless.  

So, as you can see, i am not at all happy about the novel in any way shape or form, and i thought it was so pitiful that i liked the twisted MOVIE better...But oh well. I will get the stupid essay done, and i already have the other project for Butler done, so i can just do my uber fun Science element project.

Gtg now, 'cus of my annoying, pestering, brother, but i will write more later.

Tired and with Sniffles (and annoying brothers...)

Carmen

Okay, i have to tell everybody about my fabuless new friend...CARMEN!!!! Yah!!! go carmen!!! Okay, so me and carmen have a lot alike: we both like artemis fowl and tamora pierce and all kinds of different kinds of books and Edward Cullen and Freddie Highmore and randomly dancing and harry potter and choir and movies and ice cream and starbucks!!! and lots of other stuffs too. yup. she is pretty effin awesome man...yup...but she still reminds me of Minerva...bwahahah...ha......ha.

~Sarah

Farwell, Adieu, Aloha!

Steven and ian and brian and nick and matthew and guys!!!

okay, what did i do? hm? why do they all loathe me or whatever? i really dont understand what i did to get this from them. They just don't like me. I have not done a solitary thing (consciously) to make them dislike me this year. They need to stop living in the past and start getting the fact that i can be a good friend. i want to be friends with them, but they wont let me. What really annoys me though, is that they don't even have any reason to dislike me, and they just do it because the rest of them do it. They are such spineless cowards sometimes! stand up for something! stand away from the crowd, for pity sakes! I am so sick of sickly little people who live in someone else's shadow just because they don't want to fact the truth. Well, screw you. I guess i have to find new friends now, because the ones i have now don't want me, apparently.

And if they do they sure aren't showing it.

crying on the inside (mostly sniffling, though)

Community Service Day--Afterwards

We had major fun at the Community Service Day. There were tons of great people there and we got some great pictures for the yearbook. (Actually, Taylor and I got lots of pictures; maddie's camera is crap.) Oh, and Taylor McCart was there--crap, is that her last name....curse it....sorry taylor--and she had an awesome camera. it was uber cool. We were there from ten to noon about, and we did all kinds of things.
We cut vines, almost got eaten by brambles, climbed trees, raked leaves, almost got eaten by brambles, ect.... we had a lot of fun, but i never got to do that cool picture with maddie. poop. (Well, on the bright side, i got to say "poop"...haha...poop...)

~Sarah
Eaten by brambles

Community Service Day

Okay, so today is the Community Service Day at New Augusta (Huzzah!!! i spelled "Augusta" correctly!!!) and maddie and me--yes that IS correct grammar, thank you very much--are going to go take pictures of it for the yearbook. It is utterly freezing, and i do believe we will end up frozen in the industrial pond and someone will find our perfectly preserved bodies years later, and our families will finally be able to bury us peacefully, so im hoping we dont have to stay for more than an hour or to because, like i said, it is freakin frigid out there!!!

more on this later.

Nate, continued...

Okay, so you all know how nate has a girlfriend? yeah. i havent met her yet, but i am hoping she is pretty nice. Just soes ya know, i believe her last name starts with a P (still havent figured that one out yet...), her name is Janet, and she has a sister named Tiffany.
My mom knows Tiffany and (although this really doesnt have anything to do with the rest of the sentance so there shouldnt be an and there...) i accidentally-not-really told my parents that he is dating Janet. It was actually really amusing because i was kind of skirting around the subject and my mom got what i was talking about, but my dad was seriously clueless. it was very funny. Finally i just had to tell him straight out what was going on. men are so NOT subtle....

Also, yesterday before i left for the movies and maddies house, i witnessed Nathan asking my mom how much Build-a-Bears cost. I, of course, knew what he was asking for--he wanted to get Janet one for Christmas--but at the time my mom didnt know. She found it odd that he was inquiring after a practice thought of as girly, childish, or otherwise, and said as much. At this i had to leave the room so my laughter would not be recognized as to be at something underlying in their discussion, A.K.A., the reason why he was inquiring after such a thing.

There are no more amusing tales for me to treat you with this morning, so i am afraid i must bid you adeiu. But i will be back online momentarily, however different the topic of discussion will be.
