Firecracka!

What a firecracka!


So I have seen at least a billion apartments, most which won't work. The one that is looking promising is owned by 2 crazy landlords who lived on the floor above it. I don't know if the fact that they asked my religion and prohibit profanity and overnight visitors (without approval) in their written lease means they're actually crazy and/or Christians. However, the financial aspect, along with a few other key aspects, are the best I have seen thus far.
I'm praying about it and thinking it over.

I was my kind of deathly ill this weekend, and my mom who spoils me took me home and made me better. I'm kind of a dumbass sometimes, I s'pose. Tylenol + food = no pain; Tylenol - food = nausea. Not fun!

I am wiser and healthier now, though, so it's ok!

Umm...Italo Calvino is a crazy Cuban who pretends to be Italian and I refuse to read any more of his books because "If on a winter night a traveler" is a ridiculously frustrating book that should be burned if not banned! Gosh!

I began re-working one of my stories.... = ) It took a turn for the worst for one of the characters, I'm afraid. oh geez.

It's raining, and it has been most of the day, and it makes me feel wicked gloomy, but that's alright.

My nose hurts; because genetics sucks & I have a big nose. = < (my glasses don't help I guess)

I did my laundry last night, and all my homework for tomorrow is aaaaall done!

Yup.
I'm amazing.
That is all.

Suspense.

I am officially not using university housing next year, which means I have to scour the downtown campus for a decent, safe, affordable 1 bedroom apartment which will allow me to sublease the place for the summer. It doesn't really sound like I'm requiring a lot, does it?
Ha! How wrong we are! The subleasing has been my biggest problems so far, but come on! Do these people really expect me to live in Morgantown, a place that bores me while all the college students are around, in the summer when no one is here??? I doubt it!

I have officially inspected:

• 4 apartments from a crazy old man
• 2 from a creepy as hell landlord
• 1 from a lady named Paulette who reminds me of the girl from the nail salon on Legally Blonde (I reeeally liked this one! If only she'd let me sublet it!)
• 1 from a creepy redneck that had the SMALLEST bathroom I have EVER SEEN
• 1 apartment with NO WALLS!!!! (talk about unfurnished! haha.) (construction to be done in MAY!!!), and another place from the same people--TWICE the Price of rent!

Oh, and before seeing the last set of apartments, I got splashed by a car that hit a huge puddle head-on. Even my FACE was splashed!!! I stared in shock. It was quite horrific.

In other news, I am socially inept and feel more comfortable talking to random homeless guys, blind guys, crazy evangelists, and rental agents than anyone I might remotely have anything in common with. Not so far-fetched.
I am a damn weird kid.

Oh, and sometimes people with minds that analyze everything terrify me (alright, well, I already knew this). Zack was talking about the economic situation in America and it was very depressing. Wow. We talked (well, mainly he talked & I interjected occasionally) for a long time. I need to do serious research on the political candidates.
Seriously, John McCain, one HUNDRED more years in Iraq? Seriously? I don't think so.

Oy.

Now, I am going to listen to good music, or at least cheery music, buy some bread, and try not to get mulled by hungry ducks. *grin*

2 more Apartments to see tonight, 1 thursday, and 1 friday. Wish me serious luck.

Still not discouraged,
Sarah

Poetic insight from Marisol

mientras mis ojos ríen con inocencia,
inocencia que mis acciones traicionan."

marisol maravilla.

My Awesomeness.

My Friday nights are badass.

I put Lohan, Spears, and Hilton all to shame.
(but, really, who doesn't?)


In other news, everything isn't that bad, I'm not that emo (ah, but the semester is young!).
I LOVE ZUMBA. Love, love, love it!
I'm sending out a love letter today. It's the first in quite a while. = )

Umm...my Friday nights are really not badass at all......oh well. One day, baby, one day.

Horizons

There are numerous (or infinite?) new challenges on the horizon, and honestly, they're all quite terrifying.


That's why I'm gonna play the Sarah Card for now, and ignore them all til the last possible moment.
eek.

There's a bat in the attic; and it's giving mom bats in the belfry.
heh.

Adios, 2007, arrivaderci! It's time for 2008!

2007 was pretty rough, dynamic, and chaotic. I floundered through it, though.

There are a few regrets, I suppose, which is something I don't usually say or think or admit. However, lessons were learned, and it's about time to move on.

I could do a highlights of last year thing, but quite honestly, last year kind of sucked, and I'm glad it's behind me.

= ) I mean that in the most "no hard feelings" way possible. 

A few good things from last include:

being counslelour/b.a. lifeguard at Peterkin during the summer

surviving last semester

taking risks

beginning to learn a new language

learning more about myself

learning more about others

learning about things that aren't as they seem

appreciating good friends much more.

2008, on the other hand, should be good.

I'm gonna rock 2008 like never before.

No resolution, ohter than to love this year and make it a good one, and to be ME, 100%.

And it seems I'm off to a good start.

Oh, and I had a sweet dream where I charmed a serial killer by praying in Spanish. It was intense, but I won't go into that...

I played my clarinet for the first time since college started this fall yesterday. It felt good, refreshing, filling, pure. Music is good.

I am happy, in a pure, true, good sense.

Happy New Year, everyone.
