ok, I havent used this thing in forever because I have my livejournal but live journal crashed this afternoon! ah! so here's an entry that was suppose to go in my livejournal hours ago, can't make it through the day without babbling :)
According to this article I read at the doctor's office (where I had to wait for like an hour so they could tell me oh yeah you have a cold of the flu or something... sleep, drink soup) blue's the best eye shadow shade for me. Kind of 6th grade dontcha think? But it reflects my mood at least. I dont <3 being sick one little bit. It's hailing and foggy too lol it reminds me of that scene in some old movie where the girl's like "I always cry when it rains." and the guy's like "Baby, it rains <i>because</i> ; you're crying." *lost in thoughts of old movie romances* lol so let's see what I've accomplished the last 2 days... watched a west wing marathon... watched a law and order marathon... ate like twice... mel called to remind me that the nac's having the time of their life in dc, and like in all honesty Im wicked excited for her, I just wish I was thereeee :( lol maybe in my dreams Ill be the next lindsay but right now the real lindsay and company are being treated to a fabulous weekend in my favorite city. speaking of being a super leader, Ive found this program called the national youth leadership forum (www.nlyf.org) which I am SOO going to. delegates have to be selected by a teacher so Ive got a little sucking up to do, no problem. This program's so amazing, they have a week dedicated to medicine, another to technology, another to government and military, aaaaaaand best of all: LAW!!! oh yes indeed Im going junior year. So I've been working on my new workshop too. I want to present it at LEAD. only thing is, it has to be presented at the state level first and the state conference has been moved to like 3 days after the deadline for the LEAD forms... no worries, I'll make it work. I need to find a co-presenter for this too. I know a bunch of SLTP kiddos who would be outstanding, but it has to be someone from lil RI :( I mean there are some great little student leaders here, but to present this workshop well I really need someone with a certain attitude... So I worked on a scene for SLTP too. to was like a lot more difficult emotionally than I thought it would be. It's really tough to take an issue close to the heart and put it on paper. I <3 staff though, I sent out an email about how like it's def. tough to write this play and within half a day I get like 5 emails back. hmm it kinda sounds like Ive gotten a lot done but honestly I feel sooo like useless and dead and the majority of my time was spent asleep. oh well... stay healthy my friends <3

so there are girls out there 16, 17 whatever totally "in love" completely and fully dedicated to the love of their life... or love of the moment... Ill never be like that. I take things too seriously and I dont take anything seriously enough. I can never make up my mind and I know exactly what I want. I always end up leading but I love to follow. I admire those girls to no end.... but I cant even be commited to my own life let alone devote myself to someone else...
mood: tired music: collide by howie day

to the Vets kids: alright guys... Mr Mitchell is our principal, an authority figure, so no one is going to be shocked if you dont like him, but dammit have some respect for the man. Out of all the students who have signed this "boycott Mitchell" proposal, how many have even had a conversation with him? Now I know this isnt the popular viewpoint, but as far as principal's go, he's pretty outstanding. Im def. not a member of the mitchell fan club here, I have some issues with the way things have been handled. but whatever, let it go! He's not popular with the teachers, and it is immature and childish of them to force their views upon us. But there is one major difference. The teachers are his peers, his equals. Critisism from peers in your field is necessary to improve. We are students. We have absolutely no right whatsoever to critisize and tear apart a man who has dedicated the last 40 years of his life to education. You dont have to like him. Call him whatever you please behind his back, because that's expected. But it is inappropriate and ridiculous for the student body to attempt to have him removed from his position. Our parents are tax payers, its a public school, officials have to listen to us. but wtf, you're abusing the power.

| what's a "runet"...? |
| 10.07.04 (7:33 pm) [edit] |
hehe.. such a good mood right now... even though today semi-sucked. I tell u, ben and jerrys makes it all better. I def. need to uninvolve myself, too many places to be at once. But after my screwed up scheduled forced me to go to like 4 meetings I went to watch the varsity game con los amigos.. we won of course. poor josh.. he felt way awkward sitting with the whole team but britt dragged him (ok and sort of me too).. I swear, the only time our team gets along is at the varsity games. so the estudiantes de espana are here :D Ellos son muy muy muy muy guapo. Apparently like all they do in Spain is party and play soccer. sounds like an awesome life. Tim bet senorita he could get a spanish kid ridiculously drunk before they leave... have fun with that hopper. they think the food here sucks too, but well.. thats because it does. and apparently in spain u can smoke in class... heh senor crudale wasnt pleased when domi (cutest name ever or what?) was passing cigarettes around, guess britt must have had fun explaining to him in spanglish that there are officers stationed in the school. my binnyroo and mike and josh and britt etc all went to plymouth con los expanoles :cry: I had to stay behind and make up a test.. doesnt it suck, oh well. heh, I wore that shirt from abercrombie today that says brunette on it, ha, funniest shirt ever, way better than the blonde shirt. the only thing is, it was soooo cold today I had like a zip up sweater over it. so all day my chest said "runet".. funny stuff.. well guess thats about it for now.. until next time
current mood: muy bien

wow what a.... day... lol. A mixed day. Im in such an awesome mood right now, but given today that could change in 5minutes lol. pretty good all and all though... and I talked my way out of getting in trouble 3 times (successful!) triple yay. after all once it was in regards to stealing sallittos stickers so that was easy I will admit... but haha the other 2 times took skill. maybe not something I should brag about. Finally settling into this whole school thing, the positives are coming back :D now if I can just get an off campus lunch Ill be all set... (good Fa day today too!) woo hoo.... ok didnt really finish any thoughts about today... just awesome... so let's finish this off with a quote from the wonderful NJ guy kyle lol... just because and well I have a conference call in 10! ha, Im making no sense today, oh well, love u all!
Intellections11: a whole XC team coming back in 3 squad cars is funny as hell...
Intellections: and this guy was just like "You f***ing kids are f***ing crazy... i need to get the f*** home!" lol... then the principle's like... "what were you guys doing to get him to say this" and i was like "well... korey was pretending to be a crossing gaurd... and we were repeatidly crossing the street" and we all just fell over laughing

:D fun day today... for the most part... it seems like weekends have permenantly become entertain the kiwi bird day... but that's ok for the time being, evan and I might actually get along if we werent cousins... now we just drive each other crazy. so the whole bunch of us went up to boston today... man how crazy.. there was a game tonight... go red sox woohoo.. yeah... pretty sure they won lol.. I wish I understood baseball. we had a fairly good time.. had some awesome italian food and cannollis on the north side.. contemporary art museum was a little too um unique for my taste... I really cant see the artistic quality in like a couch covered in trash.. but to each her own. I saw a BMW motorcycle... it was the funniest thing... I mean seriously.. any guy who can pull off looking cool on a motorcycle probably isnt old enough to afford a BMW... I mean if I saw some old man ride off on it it so would have made my day.. but I was told I was insane for overanalysing it so... heh.. they were probably right. So came home and didnt do much.. pretended to reread eyes on the prize.. talked to pete for awhile... made a midnight run to wendys :D but I have the best news.. I might ::fingers crossed:: be going to Philly! how awesome huh? I know RI isnt part of the Ben Cup.. but our amazing FA buddies in the states running it say we can go. So that would be unbelievably cool. Now comes the begging the parents stage.. I think they're going to give in :D then I just have to find a roommate because I dont really want to stay alone lol... kristi, alyss, jane? anyone up for a weekend in pa? :D that would be cool if we could all get together again.. Ive missed u guys soo much since the summit... Ive missed everyone.. I need another dose of FA. Speaking of Freedom's Answer... looks like our state wide candle light shindig is going to come together... it's going to require calling in a lot of favors but it looks good right now. now we just have to keep pushing to sign up those schools... dont know what I would do without some of the amazing NLC kiddos... alright bedtime for me... soccer in like 6 hours...

hmmm... mr hopper can be quite insightful... "Dreams are the place where we do the things we dare not believe because if you truly believe in them they will become reality. So remember dream big and you shall live larger." so... what if I really do want these dreams to come true... well parts of them... I had the craziest dream last night... and it seemed so so real, every second of it. but like some parts of this dream were awesome, some were so weird... and some were random... who has a dream about building houses... I mean really... hmm yeah... Im digressing So timotio here's my question... if I dream it, does that mean I really cannot handle it becoming a reality... even if I feel like I would do anything for part of my dream to come true? hmm... I need to go back to my 8th grade days of studying dream analysis...and figure out why in the world I was in a bathroom crying my eyes out and pete was sitting in the shower... figure out the symbolism in that my dear dream guru...
current mood: fairly content
current music: white houses.. surprisingly... lol read back a few entries...

aww.. big shout out to Timmy from SLTP... he so made my day :)... other than that, my day kind of sucked. Strangely enough, I was way excited about the first day... even at 4am when my summer reading was like half done, I was still laughing... mostly because of pete saying ridiculous things and a lot of caffeine, but whatever. My schedule was soooooooo screwed up u have no idea. I'm contemplating dropping AT... for a combo of reasons... but after an insightful chat with miss corrina I might stay with it... in any case I have about a good 4 weeks before guidance will deal with it... good enough seeing that I owe Mr Guertin a coffee before I can go anywhere near that office lol. Freshy day went so well... the chinese food courtesy of mr mitchell was a nice touch... as was getting to eat it in his air conditioned office ::big smiles::... just to let u all know... Mr Dave Goodnow used the principal's private bathroom... lol he's little too proud of that... and the whole cologne incident... ::sigh:: dave u make me chuckle... eric and I made it through about 5 minutes of that day without wanting to kill each other... it was seriously a record... Im suffering from a bad case of summer sickness... it feels like home sickness, but worse, because u cant drive back to summer :( It makes school seem even worse. I just want to have like one more awesome summer day... who am I kidding... I want like a few more years of those relaxing days...::sigh:: nine months till summer 2005.... woo hoo...oh well guess I can look forward to the alaska trip... I hope that works out... I would be so excited, get to see everyone from FA again and all... even thought winter in alaska doesnt sound fun.. well until next time...
current mood: summer sick :(
current music: Thriller... heh gotta love "I love the 80s night"...

funny story time.. :) lol... so I get out of the shower.. ahh dont picture it lol... and this song which Ive never heard before come on the radio. So my ears are full of like beach water, shower water. And I hear a few words here and there and Im like omg! This song is all about me! It totally reminds me of something... lol um... no... Perhaps one lone line... I come onto mi wonderful computadora (which is officially named "Sarah's rock your socks off computer" for those of you who do not know") and google the lyrics... lol here's the song... trust me.. when my ears aren't full of water I totally dont relate as much.. but none the less the story amused me (I put the lyrics I heard the first time in bold..)
White Houses ~ Vanessa Carlton
Crashed on the floor when I moved in This little bunk alone with some strange new friends Stay up too late, and I'm too thin We promise each other it's til the end Now we're spinning empty bottles It's the five of us With pretty eyed boys girls die to trust I can't resist the day No, I can't resist the day
Jenny screams out and it's no pose 'Cause when she dances she goes and goes Beer through the nose on an inside joke I'm so excited, I haven't spoken And she's so pretty, and she's so sure Maybe I'm more clever than a girl like her The summer's all in bloom The summer is ending soon
It's alright and it's nice not to be so alone But I hold on to your secrets in white houses
Maybe I'm a little bit over my head I come undone at the things he said And he's so funny in his bright red shirt We were all in love and we all got hurt I sneak into his car's black leather seat The smell of gasoline in the summer heat Boy, we're going way too fast It's all too sweet to last
It's alright And I put myself in his hands But I hold on to your secrets in white houses Love, or something ignites in my veins And I pray it never fades in white houses
My first time, hard to explain Rush of blood, oh, and a little bit of pain On a cloudy day, it's more common than you think He's my first mistake
Maybe you were all faster than me We gave each other up so easily These silly little wounds will never mend I feel so far from where I've been So I go, and I will not be back here again I'm gone as the day is fading on white houses I lie, put my injuries all in the dust In my heart is the five of us In white houses
And you, maybe you'll remember me What I gave is yours to keep In white houses In white ho In white houses
funny funny... well 4 days left now guys... Im going to miss this summer so much... back to the summer reading and then a few hours of sleep before soccer practice... until next time...
Current mood: amazing
Current music: Girls just want to have fun (they just wanna.. they just wanna..)

:DWhat an awesome last weekend of summer... Day off from soccer today so I got to sleep in until like 10:30... you have no idea how happy that made me. Then I dragged myself out of bed and pete and I went over to Goddard park. It was soooo hot today, so we hung out at the beach for awhile.. and were attacked by hungry crabs but whatever... still good... then we went over to Starbucks and worked on our wonderful summer reading... oh man I hate those books with a passion... Yeah... so then after pete was attacked by my family... poor pete.. :(we headed off to waterfire. What an awesome time... lol except for the gondala guys maybe... So tired... and for those of u who dont know my kiwiw bird cousin's here so tomorrow is entertain evan day... I voted to just give him fay but I was over ruled and therefore we're going to spend the day at block island... should be interesting to say the least... well off to bed I go... ::sigh:: Im going to miss summer so much...

wow... just got back from SLTP. It was OUTSTANDING. I was able to really show my true self and create the closest friendships I have ever known, based on trust and respect. We all wrote notes to every other person at the conference called "magic notes" in which we mention (sincerely) what we have learned from each other and so on. It was truely amazing to spend the week revealing who I really am, and then learn that in turn that had a hugely positive impact on others at the conference. At one of our general sessions, we were talking about how to make a difference and the wonderfully amazing Lauren Nutter brings up Freedom's Answer! I was so excited I thought I was going to cry because I had really been able to reach out to and connect with a lot of other delegates, passing on my passion about the program to them. This was seriously one of the best experiences of my entire life thus far! :D

Just got home from going to see an amazing soccer game. US women against China... 3-1.. good times :D And of course I went with my whole wonderful team. I love you guys.. but wow Im tired. I meet up with everyone around noonish and there are my wonderful girls sitting in the middle of the parking lot eating an entire rotiseree chicken not kidding, and like a gallon of ice cream and a 3 layer chocolate cake lol. So like in Em's car on the way up, Em, Ery, Jen, Brit, and me ate soooo much I thought I was just going to die. They brought the most random things like chocolate frosting and stuff :) lol you've gotta love them... it was soooo hot at the game but it was oddles of fun of course. and I was way excited that we got to see this game seeing that this is Mia's last game before the olympics and then she's :cry: retiring... we must not speak of such unpleseant things :cry: So on the way home I started drifting off to sleep... big mistake given who mis amigas are... I wake up and the one and only wonderful Emily Gooding is peeling grapes with my toenails (which looked very cute, bubblegum pink.. but) ew! lol. It was ok though, she didnt eat them she like threw them at a guy on a motorcycle or something. Well tomorrow's going to be a crazy frenzy of packing seeing that I leave for SLTP on tuesday! ahh way excited! Just hope I can get a new cell charger in time seeing that I would die without my cell phone for a week. I know that's sad, but we are literally staying at a college in the MIDDLE OF NO WHERE. Well that's it for now... pizza's here :D
current music: soak up the sun... (such a classic) current mood: way too tired and hyper

Makin' my way downtown, Walkin' fast, Faces pass and I'm homebound.
Starin' blankly ahead, Just makin' my way, Makin' a way through the crowd.
And I need you, And I miss you, And now I wonder...
If I could fall into the sky, Do you think time would pass me by? 'Cause you know I'd walk a thousand miles If I could just see you... Tonight.
It's always times like these When I think of you, And wonder if you ever think of me.
'Cause everything's so wrong And I don't belong. Livin' in your precious memory.
'Cause I need you, And I miss you, And now I wonder...
If I could fall into the sky, Do you think time would pass me by? 'Cause you know I'd walk a thousand miles If I could just see you... Tonight.
I, I, don't wanna let you know I, I, drown in your memory. I, I, don't wanna let this go. I, I, don't.
Makin' my way downtown, Walkin' fast, Faces pass and I'm homebound.
Starin' blankly ahead, Just makin' my way, Makin' a way through the crowd.
And I still need you, And I still miss you, And now I wonder...
If I could fall into the sky, Do you think time Would pass.. us by? 'Cause you know I'd walk a thousand miles If I could just see you...
oh oh
If I could fall into the sky, Do you think time would pass me by? 'Cause you know I'd walk a thousand miles If I could just see you.
If I could just hold you.... Tonight.

If anyone needs the number for it, give my cell a call tonight or hasta manana. Dont you love today's title? That is the craziest song, Ive been singing it all day :D Im ridiculously hyper... prob a combination of like a weird sleep schedule and a lot of sugar. Fay and corrina slept over last night and we were up until 7:30 in the AM... that was crazy, they went along on my run at 5, mind u this was after not sleeping all day or night, and fay got soooo lost. she doesnt really know her way around my neighborhood so it was so funny, she was just wandering for awhile like calling us. I have like 50 million things to do, and I just wasted like an hour playing with my digital camera lol. well thats it for now.. maybe Ill post a more insightful blog after I get sum sleep... that might be a few weeks lol :D

5 DAYS! SOOOO excited! Renaissance is going to rock! Now I have to start packing... luckily like I dont think we have to carry our own luggage so I wont be restricted to one suitcase (yay) :wink: lol. Dani-yelli and I have been checking out what there is to do, like that we can do while we're there... lol... I want to go to the Margarita Grille or Crocodile Disco for dinner the first day, but she's sure they're like clubs... whatever lol :) This 5K... ah! That's going to be interesting... 1) it requires waking up at like 5 am! (bleh) 2) it requires running in Texas in the middle of July... lol if I die, here's my will:
Corrina: I leave u all my CDs of Delilah because u love her so much
Danielle: I leave u my rabbit
Fay: I leave you my blue bikini lol
Josh: I leave you my yearbook because u didnt sign it yet
ok... getting bored with that... I mean I prob wont die, it's only like 3 miles.
Oooo Im trying to bring freedom's answer to Renaissance! Idk if that will work out... but at the very least Im going to spend all of the networking sessions like handing out info about the program. So that will be awesome.
So high hopes for this conference... lol Well anyways, Dallas here I come :D

| 07.07.04 (6:07 pm) [edit] |

Ok... make this fact known... here, now, and forever more. I AM MYSELF. I am NOT my parents. You know how the saying goes... "we dont get to choose our family". I mean I guess I love my family and all... but god, sometimes I just wish I could say I AM NOT THEM! All of the "omg you are so much like " drives me crazy. No matter how awesome or stupid what my family members do is... I want no credit for it, whatsoever. Every single choice my parents have made in their lives I think I would have made the total opposite. Every single value they have, I seem to believe something entirely different. So why is it, that to so many people, my family is a reflection of me and I am a reflection of them and so on..? Reflect this: my parents totally changed their lives and careers and everything else, because they wanted to "raise their children". Me: I dont even want to have kids! Ever. Yeah, Im just like a mirror image of them right? Im not even a resemblence of what they were like as kids. I want to just stand on my own two feet, in a sense, become a John Edwards of my generation and choose a totally different life than the ones my parents led. Not to defy them or anything, just follow my heart and in doing so make it clear that Im not a reflection, I am my own person, I always have been, and I always will be. :?

The fourth of July is awesome, the fireworks, the flags, parades. But the real American spirit that is captured today is preserved in the hearts of some amazing people year round.

Serious thinking time... reevaluating who I am time... drifting off course time... the last three years, looking back, I can see how far I've drifted from who I was. And, well, I liked who I was then... basically. But I really thought who I had becom, how I had changed, it was all for the better. But my values, my goals, my entire life just shifted so so much. So did my motivation. Now I dont know who I truly am, and who I truly want to be, whether Im actually any better, or any worse. I have this longing for some life changing experience, as if I need something like cleansing and purifying, like a self-discovery mission. The only thing is.. maybe Im afraid to discover who I truly am. But how can anyone truly get to know me if I wont even let myself see my true self..? There are tons of people out there who think they know me... but in reality... we dont... [b]we[/b] dont know me. There is a side to me that is totally comfortable and geniune, but its as if I freak out when people get a glimpse of it. You can push hurtful words aside when they come from someone who doesnt really know you... but I really want to take a risk... let someone truly see the real Sarah... I am just genuinely scared that the true me isnt good enough. I've hurt so many people by hiding myself from them... on many different levels. I know when Im hiding myself, when I start to condradict myself and change my mind. I really know exactly what I want about 99.9% of the time... but what if even sharing that is too much? It is crazy how dependent I have become on thoughts. You probably think Im just rambling about what others think about me here... but realistically, Im my biggest critic... I am the one I do not want to fail ultimately. So tomorrow, Im walking into Dunkin Donuts with someone.. I dont care who, and Im ordering exactly what I want. I always know. But then there are all the "they'll think" thoughts. A pig... anorexic... weird... it doesnt matter anymore. Sheesh, this sounds sad... but that's ok... baby steps. Im done with the secrets and done with the hiding. This scares me out of my mind... but all my friends... all... well everyone... you're about to see who I really am... slowly... but surely... you'll get to really know me. Let's hope you like who you meet.

I'm a good kid. Proud to be. Really. I have flaws, tons of them. I make mistakes, tons of them. But I have [b]VALUES[/b] and a [b]CONSCIENCE[/b]. But if I walk into any store in this city, I will be clossly under the watch of all employees. Why? Because I'm a teenager. Because I am stuck in this awful age group. I know some awesome people my age, kids who are really making a difference, sticking to their principles, and making the right choices. But unfortunately, we are lumped in the same categorey with the few idiots who find shoplifting, vandalism, drugs, and whatnot entertaining. In all honesty, those who don't O.D. or end up in jail, will forever be in our age group, but for some reason, at this age, they suck all the trust in our generation out of the minds of average adults. And really, how can u blame them? Adults dont want their property destroyed or things stolen. At student council meetings, Freedom's Answer conferences, Honors night, adults have to utmost respect for the kids who haven't screwed up, but walk into a local mall or restaurant and all adults think you must be up to no good. It really sucks that us "good kids" have to prove our innocence everywhere we go. It's as if within our age group, you are guilty until proven innocent. In my own school we now have police officers present to limit violence and drug activity and whatever else. In all honesty, why mind their prescence if you have nothing to hide? It actually made the environment safer. But still I can't shake the feeling that everywhere I go I am a suspect, not because I have done anything wrong but simply because of my age. I guess the only solution is to keep proving my innocence, to all my fellow "good kids" keep up ... well being good. And soon enough, we'll be out of this age group :?

//Song of the Week:
This is for all you girls about 13
High school can be so rough, can be so mean
Hold on to, on to, your innocence
Stand up tall
When everybody's givin in
This one's for the girls
This is for all you girls about 25
In a little apartment
Just trying to get by
Livin' on, on dreams and Spaghettio's
Wonderin where your life is gonna go
This one's for the girls
This one's for the girls
Who've ever had a broken heart
Who've wished upon a shooting star
You're beautiful the way you are
This one's for the girls
Who love without holding back
Who dream with everything they have
All around the world
This one's for the girls//
