well now...guess what? somehow you have just stumbled upon my wonderful intelligently designed website. arent you lucky? just kidding...anyways, i should properly welcome you to my green room, subtitled, all about me. so, welcome to my green room. now on with our journey. i suppose ill just give you several interesting facts about myself to get started. well, my name is sara. right now im at work and obviously i get bored very easily. im a sophmore in college and am loving the experience. i have partied alot but am now starting to settle down as i need a good gpa to eventually get a good job like everyone else in this world. ive even been raving, much to the dismay of my family, but the last one i wanted to go to freaked me out because the ceiling fell on a girl and she was killed. hence, i no longer want to rave.
my favorite color is green. any color of green. maybe this is why i chose green as my first page. and appropriately enough, spring is my favorite season, just because of all the green stuff out there. yeah, i know what youre thinking right now. this girl's crazy. but as one of my friends always says, "what's normal?" you cant define normal, there is no normal. i guess i should just say im unique, a real oddball, just like everyone else is unique, right?
i cant really think of anything to say so im just typing a whole bunch of crap right now. anyways, im 5'4" 110 lbs. i dont remember what my natural hair color is, ive dyed it since i was about 15 years old. at one point it was a deep purple and when i went outside it turned bright red. i didnt realize that by using feria, which the box said it was dark brown, would turn my hair that color....it kinda freaked everyone out. (including me) my eye color depends on my mood. so far i know that they turn pretty much every color; brown, blue, green and hazel. i also have a brown freckle on my left eye, dont ask me how, i just do.
right now im not participating in any sports but while i was in high school i did pretty much everything; track, volleyball, powerlifting (i placed a couple times) and softball. softball was my life during my junior
summer and senior year. i never played during the actual school year but my friend, shani, did. she pitched for two different teams while i caught for her during practice. at first she threw the ball like 90 mph, i swear on anything possible. i never wore catching equipment though and everyone always asked me if i was on drugs because i ended up getting hit maybe once out of every five pitches. i loved it anyways. i remember one game in particular. my friend amanda and i decided that whether we won or lost we were going to slide into all the bases after the game. so we did. i absolutely loved rolling around in the outfield grass, although everyone thought my head had turned bad. i didnt care....
anyways, now that im in college, most of my thoughts have turned back over to studying. yeah, youre thinking, "shes a nerd" haha. but if i dont study, then what am i going to do with the rest of my life? live in a cardboard box in the slums of new york? not hardly. its kind of funny how college and high school are absolutely nothing alike. throughout the entirety of my high school career, no one wanted to study. in college; everyone studies. at least everyone i know. whats the point of paying 10 grand a year and flunking out? pretty stupid if you ask me. another thing: in high school it was, "i stayed out till three am friday night and got so drunk i passed out on top a donkey!" in college it's, "i went to bed before midnight." those two phrases are so different yet in the space of one year, they hold the same amount of respect and awe in the eyes and minds of the fellow students. i know im jealous when someone gets to go to bed before two am.......

hmm...i just reread the above material from like three years ago, and i would just like to say that i don't think im so flighty anymore... i no longer rave or party every night of the week, and when i drink alcohol, i drink (try to anyways!!) responsibly, just because it's actually more fun to do so. i don't need to hug the porcelein god to enjoy myself, you know? i guess that's what time will do to ya... i've spent the last three years trying to find myself and what i want out of life. i did end up majoring in psychology but also now i'm trying to learn german. although some people ;) think my accent is too americanized, but supposedly it's sexy, so it's all good :) i'll be graduating next december (2003!!!) instead of this may, which MEANS that i get to hang out with my sister for an ENTIRE semester!!!
my sister, liztard (i'm the only person who's allowed to call her that name) is pretty much my best friend; i go to her for all my advice, even though she's almost three years younger, but she's so full of wisdom beyond her years (which makes me extremely jealous because i've had to learn about life through so many mistakes. maybe that's why i'm the eldest so she can see how i messed up and won't have to go through it herself (?)). actually, it wasn't until about a year or two ago that we started getting along, so now i'm ecstatic that we have a decent relationship. when we were little, we'd always fight, especially about little details. for awhile (i was probably only 8-9 years; still old enough i should have known better), i often bit her while fighting because she'd punch or kick me back when i beat her up.. this one time i bit her so hard that she bled and my mom bit me back as punishment...although it's kind of funny now that i look back on it, i realize i was unnecessarily mean to her. but i'm already so proud of her, even though she still seems extremely young to me. i guess she'll always be my lil' sis'. anyways, like i said, she'll be graduating high school this may and attending the same university as i. she's extremely musical and athletic, no to mention intellectual. there's no doubt in my mind that she's the most intelligent student in her class, but since she rarely studies, she remains third. we share so many interests (maybe that's why we're sisters?), like music (we both play multiple instruments and she leads choir and stage band) softball, running, reading, writing. although i guess she doesn't share my love of taekwondo (which btw, i'm a camo belt until next week) but that's ok. she does also like to rock climb, so we're going to try doing that often at the rec center (or outdoors) next sememster.
but anyways, back to school and one of the most exciting announcements of my life! this july i'm lucky enough to be travelling to scotland to present part of a symposium on juror stress at the international law-psychology convention. this is almost unheard of for an undergraduate to attend, let alone present his/her OWN paper, thereby becoming first author (which almost NEVER happens!) so hopefully this opportunity in conjunction with my study abroad program last spring will land me a full ride to some graduate school; stanford would be my ultimate choice, but that's likely to never happen :( still, i can dream! other than school, work consumes much of my time, merely because i don't earn alot of money, so i have to put in the hours. as of right now, im a server at a restaurant. like i said, the pay isn't very good, but it's probably one of the most fun jobs i've ever had in my life, so it doesn't really matter that i'm not rich. just as long as i have enough money to pay the bills, i'm happy. besides, the people i work with there and the connections i've already made within the professional community are enough to outweigh any negative aspects of the job. i guess i could always become a stripper or work in a brothel and make a couple hundred every friday and saturday night ;) (that's for you mom/dad!) heheh. heh. heh. nope. too bad my morals and values won't allow that, because i know the money sure would be nice... *shrug* well, i think that's a pretty good start at explaining the last couple years of my life and where i am now...so i'll write more in a couple more years!! ;)

G'day my fellow Americans! It's about time I updated at least one portion of my website ;-), so I think I'll update this one; it's a nice pretty green color and green is still my fav color. right now there's a whole bunch of white snow on the ground (as opposed to being yellow or purple, you know), and it's freezing in my apartment because i'm cheap and refuse to pay the gas company more than absolutely necessary to survive! soo...since the last time i wrote, it says february of 2003, which was almost a year ago. oops! two days before i wrote that entry, i started dating my man, Almir! at that point i was trying to finally become single because i thought i needed individual therapy and along he came and i could NOT refuse!! after german class one day he followed me out the door and asked me to go dancing that night after work - it was so much fun. and get this: it was snowing really hard that night, so when he took me back to my car afterwards, he scraped it off for me! AND... he wouldn't kiss me goodnight - how many guys would do that? notice my emphasis on 'guys' because he's not a guy, he's a man, and a very good one at that! but uh uh ladies! keep your mitts off cuz he's MINE :-)
we went to las vegas last march during spring break and have already bought tickets to san diego, CA for this spring break to visit my grandmother, whom i haven't visited there yet. it's going to be a blast - we're gonna go to rodeo drive, hollywood, and hopefully sea world and disney land *sigh* :-) it's so nice to travel and be with someone you love so much.
my presentation in scotland went really well, much better than i expected (because i'm so nervous when in public). i enjoyed walking all over edinburgh, visiting shops and sights, etc. i went to the castle, dungeon, and other really cool places like the world's largest telescope thingy (i forgot it's name), but using it we could see ANY person in edinburgh as if we were standing right in front of them. we totally spied on people in the castle - it was really funny to see some of the stuff people do when they think they're not being watched! ;-) after leaving there on my way to the castle, i was really careful because i knew people could see me. hihihi.
as for graduating in december, it didn't happen because i decided that i thought i wanted to attend medical school so i began a rigorous curriculum of chemistry and math. halfway through the semester i realized i was attempting suicide if i continued (i'm just not used to all the math, although i did extremely well in all science/math classes). so now i'm attempting graduation in may with psychology and german and hopefully will attend grad school for psychological counseling, eventually becoming a liscensed psychologist (sometime in the next millenium ;-))
