Passenger


So there's been this song lately on the radio called "Let Her Go" by Passenger. Decided I'd look him up on YouTube and found his music is really good. This is one of my favorites. His songs go beyond the whole "feel in love, broke up" or "sex" crap that's been out lately. I'll probably add another one further down.

What's new with me? Ummm nothing. Actually typing hurts my thumb so I'm just gonna wrap it up and post some other time.
*Edit: I should probably put a disclaimer on this. Don't watch around little kids. I know it says fuck and maybe another word children's ears are to fragile for.

Hello my lovely cupcakes!

This week has been crazy, and not all of it in a good way. It's been difficult trying to get back into the swing of going to class, doing homework, being away from home, and waking up in my dorm room again. One morning I woke up in a panic because I couldn't figure out where I was, and then I realized I was in my dorm and I just felt like hiding under the covers for the rest of the day and crying. I didn't even try to fake like I was happy that whole morning. It required too much energy. But Connor has been absolutely amazing. I have a couple of classes with him, and he seemed to notice right away that something was up with me. He didn't push me to tell him, he just reassured me that if I wanted to talk about it or if I needed someone there that he was "just a moment's notice away." Sometimes I just can't get over how sweet and kind he is. But I think that now I am mostly out of my funk, thank goodness.

I applied to become a Resident Assistant next year. I sent in the application this week, and on Sunday I am supposed to schedule two interviews for next week. Wish me luck!

Since this is just the first week of the semester classes haven't been in full swing yet, so Connor and I had time one night to watch Frozen. He had never seen it before, but he commentated the entire movie, and it was hilarious. I told him that he needs to commentate every Disney movie and give me a copy.

I just finished The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy today (like I said, the homework load has not been like I expect it to be for the rest of the semester because classes have just began). Douglas Adams (the author) is so ridiculously out there and quirky, it's awesome. I think that you guys would like it. I'm starting The Restaurant at the End of the Universe, the second book in the series, next.

I'm actually writing this right now because I realized that since I have the time I better take advantage of it and update you all on what's been happening. I am hoping to write on here at least once a week. It's kind of therapeutic.

I was talking with a couple of girls at dinner tonight and we were discussing just how scary this time of our lives can be. These next four to six years kind of determine where you will be going in life and what you will be doing with yourself for the next thirty to forty years. And what if I get three years into college and decide that chemistry is not for me? What if by the time I get my degree I end up hating whatever I end up majoring in? What then? Because by that time student loans have racked up and I have to pay for them somehow, right? And you know what else is crazy? My brother is going to be a freshman at East next year, and they have totally changed around the system. By the end of freshman year you have to pick an academy that focuses on a certain area of study, such as liberal arts, sciences, business, so on. And they are only allowed to change academies once. I feel like that is seriously limiting the students and that they are not going to be given enough of an opportunity to explore different career paths. And who came up with the idea of trying to make freshman choose what they want to do for the rest of their lives, because that's pretty much what they are asking. It's like their rushing them all to grow up. Pretty soon they'll be forcing them into suits and telling them "go get an internship" by sophomore or junior year in high school. I understand trying to prepare students for college, but I feel like this is not the way to do it. Alright, I'll stop ranting.

I was going to try and make this a witty post, but tonight I'm just not feeling up to it. Like I said, it's been a weird week.

Have you ever listened to the song "Misguided Ghosts" by Paramore? I recommend looking it up. It reminds me a bit about this point in everyone's lives where you are leaving what you know, you don't know where you are going, you don't know why but you will figure it out when you get there.

I guess now that I've talked (well, I'm not really talking I guess, but you know what I mean) your ear off, I'll say goodbye for now.

Love,
Sara

Story Time Ladies

G typing,
So its storytime!!! Who is ready? Well here is what i have so far. Maybe not the best writing, you guys write better than this. But its just something i felt like doing. I am open to new ideas, dont be afraid. Ill take anything, and if it works then ill incorporate in into the story. Ideas can be for chapter 3 or either of these two first chapters. I included the first one again because i tweaked it a little. So here it is. Hope you enjoy, and please any suggestions.



By G


~ Chapter One ~

A blanket of numerous bright stars stretched across the dark, midnight sky, while the moon rose through the progressing night, battling the incoming shadows. Its light reflected throughout the shaded land, yet the desolate country has an illuminated figure rapidly traversing the rough terrain. Even though the creature traveled at a speed unrecognizable to man, the radiating noise was that of soft, rustling grass. An owl’s hoot was still expected to break the eerie silence that consumed the land.
            Carrion! The smell was horrendous, a simple whiff could sting any man’s respiratory paths, was scattered over the subtle rolling hills. However, the figure continued to move as if the stench did not penetrate its ability to react to death’s odor. Within the minute, the creatures of the dark suddenly made an appearance to this atrocious scenery. Rats scurried over the deeply-worn paths, awaiting the figure’s approach, and off in the distance the owl’s sharp screech was finally audible. The moon continued to rise, creating a clearer image of the country’s remains- limbs and mutilated human bodies lay across soil tainted with the blood of countless. Death’s devastation was visible.
            Among the bloody remains, a body near an open path was the only one found intact, but not a single breath was taken. This man, for he was a man, possessed incredible youth whose features lacked the sharp angle from one who has witnessed years of fighting. A hint of roundness formed his cheeks, the wind-blown hair was a light brown, the nose rounded at the tip, and his open eyes were a green brighter than the spring grass. The corpse was thoroughly clothed in violet garb, with a bow and partially-filled quiver of arrows tightly strapped across his right shoulder. A blooming life lost in the grasp of an initiating war.
            A gust of wind pulled the cloak away, revealing the deeply-embedded symbol of Errlanda, a redwood arrow deflected from the marvelous shield of Brutus, upon a silver chest plate. A single family was known to carry this distinguishing symbol, and it is troubling to think that one from this long line of success has fallen prey to the ambitions of another. The young man was not a common fighter, but the royal Prince Xander on his return trip of his “coming-of-age” ceremony.
            It is tradition for all future male heirs to the royal line demonstrate their strength and courage through a series of potentially fatal tasks. Once the young prince has completed the three tasks, they are honored with the violet cloak of the kings of past.
            First task: Navigate a large vessel through a trail of strong, rushing currents, leading a group of four score men. By completing this task the young prince will demonstrate leadership and control during a difficult circumstance.
            Second task: The kingdom’s Master Swordsman will face the prince under various strenuous and surprising conditions, in which the professional has the advantage. This task measures strategy when outmatched.
            Final task: The heir to the throne must survive a span of five weeks in the midst of bare land, with no weapon. Courage is the main goal of the task.
Prince Xander was the first in this long line to show strategy and wit beyond man’s comprehension.
            After what seemed to last a second, the figure finally arrives. It dismounts it’s gorgeous black steed and makes its way towards the still body; the horse cautiously following its master.
            The individual suddenly pulls back the hood of a flowing, cobalt blue cloak, revealing slightly pointed ears and a flawless face with eyes the shade of the vast, clear-blue sea. The thin lips appeared to be several shades darker than the palest pink, but lighter than an abnormal red. Strong muscles lightly covered the face, providing prominent features of confidence, strength, and strong-will. Yet, anyone given the opportunity of being in the presence of this figure would doubt that such mythical creature can truly exist.
            Within seconds the heavily-fortified confidence deteriorates, giving way to tears streaming down the young lady’s smooth cheeks. From the tears, one can determine that genuine emotions bonded these two individuals, but destiny’s hand severed this tie beyond possible repair. The lady, Myrina, kneels in front of Prince Xander and is overwhelmed by tremendous grief; her petite figure vigorously shaken with silent sobs.
            Several hours pass…





~ Chapter Two ~

The tears ceased to appear, leaving Myrina with red, puffy eyes and an enormous feeling of emptiness within her heart. After the first few hours passed, Myrina shifted from her kneeling position to one of sitting, where she set her forehead against the top of her bent knees. Gradually, Myrina lifts her head and with great sadness etched on her appearance stares out into the dark night, expecting the sun to rise. The reason behind the consuming sorrow was unknown.
            Rays of light are detected as the moon starts to fall into the horizon and the sun assumes control of the temporary space. Myrina stands, silently shaking accumulating debris from her cloak. With cautious steps, Myrina takes a few steps away from the motionless body, acutely analyzing her surroundings. Apart from the corpses of both men and horse, there were broken carts and materials strewn throughout. Taking a few more steps, Myrina glances to her right and an odd object immediately captures her attention; she races forward and gathers a leather-bound journal.
            Struggling with the tightly-sealed clasp, Myrina manages to open the journal that may contain unimaginable written secrets. Taking the hard cover’s corner, Myrina exposes the first page. She sees a drawn image of Prince Xander standing next to a beautiful girl, both clothed in training gear. Myrina glances over the image, gently swiping the tips of her fingers over the similar, yet different faces. Xander’s facial expression portrayed mischief and unbounded joy, while the girl of possibly twelve years showed innocence and immense curiosity.
            As she carefully flips to the following page, Myrina sees a piece of folded parchment slip from between the journal. Crouching to retrieve it, Myrina notices her name scrawled across the top in elegant writing
Myrina
Setting the journal into one of the multiple pouches stretched over her horse’s back, Myrina unfold the parchment and reads the letter addressed to her person.
            Myrina,
I have completed the third and final task, now I am a man worthy of leading this country to success and triumph against all obstacles. The challenge called for my wits and courage, but what truly assisted me was the thought of returning home, returning to you. I have missed the nightly trips to the kitchen where an enormous chocolate cake awaits us. Remember when Avery tripped after she chased us with her favorite wooden spoon? I am thrilled. I am prepared to assume the responsibility of (need a name for kingdom; suggestions) as king. Even though the men chant my name with enthusiasm, I can’t help but feel heart-wrenching worry. I believe grave danger approaches our land, for the winds are churning and the clouds gathering with ominous speed. This will be a danger none of our people have witnessed before; but our courageous hearts and determination will see us through. However, the thought that worries me the most, dear sister, is that I will not return. I hope I can personally deliver this information instead of this letter. Therefore, if you are reading this, then your rebellious and struggled heart has led you on an expedition to search for me, yet you were greeted with my possible death. I truly hope this feeling is simply the result of approaching coronation day jitters, and I will be seeing you soon. Always remember, “The heart has the potential to lead us to our greatest achievements and adventure, but it also has the ability to lead us into difficult situations.” This may not make sense now, but what I’m attempting to say is, follow your feelings. Take care Myrina, lead our people to safety by conquering this incoming darkness. You are their only hope. Don’t falter under the criticisms and ignorance of others; use your unique personality to do your best.
With love,
---Xander---
Myrina’s posture drops as tears were threatening to overwhelm her once again. Her horse, Rameere, moves closer to Myrina and she takes hold of his neck to regain her balance. With the passing, silent minutes, a look of anger spreads across, consuming her sorrowful physiognomy. The girl who once stole chocolate cake with Prince Xander and played with her hair, disappeared within mere seconds, in her place was a young woman accepting her brother’s unfinished duty.
With a swift and graceful movement, Myrina mounts her horse and travels away from the setting sun, leaving the last tie to her family.

Sara's 2013 Survey

IF ANY OF YOU LADIES READ THIS BEFORE I AM READY TO POST IT I WILL FINISH YOU LIKE A CHEESECAKE

Okay, you are now allowed to read my answers without fear of being destroyed.
Did you have a resolution last year and did you keep it?
Last year I wanted a bikini-ready body. Did I keep it? Obviously not.
Do you feel bad about not keeping it?
Yes and no. Not keeping the resolution didn't help much with my self-image issues, but I also love food too much.
Favorite song:
You really expect me to pick just one? Fine. At the moment it is "Welcome to the Black Parade" by My Chemical Romance.
Most annoying song:
This year there wasn't a song that came out that annoyed me, but Connor showed me one that was disturbing. Does that count? It's "Little Piece of Heaven" by Avenged Sevenfold. Not gonna lie, it's twisted. But I guess the song that has always annoyed me (even though it came out a few years ago) is "Stuck Like Glue" by Sugarland. That song makes me want to detach my ears from my head and feed them to starving wolves.
Favorite actor/actress:
Actress: Jennifer Lawrence. Duh. 
Actor: Its a tie between Jared Padalecki, Jensen Ackles, and Misha Collins. There's no way you can expect me to choose between the three of them.
Hottest celebrity, or anyone in that realm of people you don’t know but desperately feel the need to touch (can be more than one, i understand):
See above. 'nuff said.
Something new that you got into this year:
Dr. Who
Favorite movie:
Tangled. Maximus is my spirit animal.
Favorite artist:
Taylor Swift (but that goes without saying)
Angus and Julia Stone
Those are my top two, but I love so many more. I've been starting to get into My Chemical Romance and Paramore as well.
Favorite book:
Seriously? I can only pick one? That's like asking a mother to pick her favorite child. Nope, sorry but you are getting a list.
Anything by John Green, but especially The Fault in Our Stars (GARDENIA I WILL TIE YOU TO A CHAIR IF I HAVE TO UNTIL YOU READ THIS BOOK) and Paper Towns.
The Divergent Series (I'm reading Allegiant right now)
Everyday by David Levithan
Ender's Game by Orson Scott Card
Brave New World
Fictional Character you miss the most:
Kevin Tran
TV Show?
Is that even a question? SUPERNATURAL. Hands down.
Favorite class (high school or college):
High School: It's between AP English and AP Chemistry
College: Between chemistry and criminal justice
Favorite teacher:
Mrs. Powers and Mr. Zuba
Prefer to be in high school or college?
I like the freedom and the people that I have met in college, but I really miss seeing all of your beautiful faces everyday. I love both equally. Can we mash them together?
Favorite moment of high school this year:
I loved working on our Macbeth project. I think we should have won a Grammy for that thing.
What do you miss most about high school/what do you miss least?
Most: Seeing your beautiful smiles everyday.
Least: The stress. That was awful.
Is Pocahontas a princess?
Oh not this again. YES. END OF STORY.
Who has inspired you the most this year? (can be someone you know or don’t know)
There are too many for me to list. It's the little acts the people do that make me think that the world is not entirely falling apart.
Something that gave you hope for the world:
A five-year-old little boy that was battling Leukemia asked the Make a Wish foundation if he could be batman for a day, and the city of San Francisco pulled together to  create a fake robbery done by The Riddler and to create a situation where he had to save a damsel in distress.
What has this world come to??
Miley Cyrus's outfits. That's all I have to say on this topic.
Any paranormal experiences:
Many will claim that this was not a paranormal experience, but I beg to differ. When I was cutting through one of the academic buildings after the drag show at Platteville a pop machine's arm thingy that is used to grab the pop moved on its own. It was terrifying. No joke.

Show us a picture of something you created!
eh, how about not.
Favorite quote:
"The world may be broken, but hope is not crazy." -John Green
Guilty pleasure (I don’t care about your masturbating schedule; think silly movies or playing with legos):
Supernatural and tumblr
Absolute favoritest moment/event of this entire year:
In no particular order:
Prom
Chicago
My first kiss
Sleepovers with you ladies
And I know there are more but I'm blanking on the rest of them.
Worst moment:
I can't really think of the worst moment of this year. I must have blocked it out.
Thing that got you through the rough patches (can be a song, quote book, movie, person(s), etc):
You guys
My ipod
Song that makes you feel good every time:
Harlem by New Politics. I don't know why, it just makes me want to dance every time I hear it.
Bad habit you picked up:
I can't really think of any that I have picked up this year, but one that I have had this habit for most of my life is that I apologize for absolutely EVERYTHING, even if it is not my fault.
Place you wanted to visit the most:
New York, New York

What's your proudest moment?
Graduation.
Emus or ostriches?
Ostriches. Duh. 
Person you were close to before, but grew away from:
I don't think I grew away from anyone I was close to this year.
Any dreams that stuck out (like actual sleeping dreams):
I don't dream. I'm secretly a robot.
Thing you wish you could change about this year:
I don't really want to change anything. I like how 2013 turned out.
Thing you wish you could change about yourself:
I'm pretty content with the way that I am now. I think college has made me more confident in myself, but I just wish I would have felt that way sooner.
Thing you wish would have happened, but didn’t:
Like Gardenia, I wish that I would have gotten a job over the summer. Moola would be lovely.
Someone you wish you would’ve gotten closer to:
Abby. Her and I became friends last year, but I wish we would have became closer sooner.
Someone (or more than one) you did get close to:
Connor

If you could devour anyone in the world, who would it be?
Cannibalism is frowned upon in this establishment.

Tell me a story, any story:
Connor claims that he isn't ticklish at all, but when I was at his house this week I poked him in the ribs and found that he does, in fact, have a ticklish spot. His laugh was the cutest thing, and now I have a weapon to use against him whenever he tries to tickle me. Mwahahaha!
Favorite selfie! Sounds lame, but it’s good to look at yourself and be happy with what you see.
I don't take selfies. I hate having my picture taken.
Favorite moment while hanging out with friends:
I really can't pin point a single event. You all instantly put a smile on my face and I cherish every moment I get with you guys.
Favorite moment with family:
When my dad made me laugh so hard during dinner that a noodle came out of my nose.
Favorite holiday:
Christmas. There are a lot of good vibes that come with that holiday.
"Holy canoli that was unexpected!" moment:
When Connor and I started dating. Gardenia if you thought you were surprised, well, I was definitely not expecting it to happen either. 
Any news stories or worldwide events that left an impact on you?
So I know this happened in 2012, but the world event that impacted me the most was the Sandyhook shooting. I cried so hard when I saw news stories on it, and I can't even imagine how the familes felt. My heart went out to all of the families. I was devasted when I thought of all those children whose lives ended far too soon and how they would never grow up, experience the crazy teenage years, fall in love, get married, have children of their own. 
What career path were you considering?
As of right now I am planning on working in a crime lab.

Do you feel you are the same person you were when you started the year? 
Definitely not. I feel more independent, confident, and mature.
Favorite conversation (if you can remember it):
All of our crazy, nonsensical conversations.
Any days that were absolutely perfect and didn’t go wrong?
The day I got my first kiss. :)

Did any of your goals change?
No, not really.
Would you consider this is good or bad year, overall:
I think that this year was pretty epic overall.

One word to sum up 2013:
SMASHING
Any regrets?
I REGRET NOTHING
Any resolutions for this year?
Guess I'll try for a bikini-ready body again. Ha. We'll see how long I can stick with it this year.
Hopes for 2014:

I just want to make it through next semester in one piece.
