Sleep

This morning, like early this morning, like 9ish, I was sleeping. I had this really weird dream. I was back in school, and it was the last day of school? I dont know. Anyway, my mom was like, "Sarah! Wake up! You just got a babysitting job. It starts in 40 minutes. Get up!!" Me, being rather cranky when just getting up was like EHHHHHHHHHHH. But I got up and left for the job. The mom wanted to go on a run for like an hour or so. I babysat the kids and the mom came back an hour and a half later. She was like, "Well, I'd like to do this again on Wednesday. So how about you come over around 8:30." All I could think about was this morning and how I didn't want to get up at 9. I'll be having tons of fun Wednesday morning.

Thorn

Last night we had another manhunt game at my house. There were different people this time. There wasn't a certain sexist I know who lives down the street. And the neighbor didn't yell at us....again. This time we actually tried, so it wasn't just one kid running while the rest watched. I was in the woods trying to find another way out, but then I got tagged because I couldn't find I way out fast enough. Weird, because I know four ways out, at least. I had to go to jail anyway, so I still had to get out of the woods. The opening is just on the other side of a bush. I grab the bush to get it out of my way and I pull my hand back with a thorn. My friend asked me what I was stuck on and I said, "A thorn." I picked the thorn out of my thumb and threw it away. Then I got out of the woods the way I came in. I squeezed my thumb and blood came oozing out. It was pretty sweet. I have my battle scar. Yea.

Nickname

I have no idea how this started, but my friend was trying to think of a one sylable nickname for me. Sarah. You got your Sally, *barf* and such. All two sylables. So he came up with the wonderful nickname- Sars. Great. I'm deadly disease causing pollen. Lol.

Twins

Whoever said twins meant trouble was WRONG!!!! Actually, I'm not even sure someone said that....huh....I wonder...ANYway....They probably meant twin babies....THAT would be annoying...Seanster the Monster can be a handful sometimes...Wait, he doesn't like that name....but he doesn't know what it means, he's only 6 months old...But his mother doesn't like it when he's called that...Ah doting mother...AHHHHHHHHH OFF TOPIC BIG TIME!!!! ANYway, today I babysat a set of twins. Fraternal twins, a boy and a girl. I'm SOOOOOOOOOO glad they aren't identical. Well, the people I was babysitting for were actually on vacation from Seattle. They are staying at the rich end in town, at their cousins place. Very nice house, waterfront, carriage house to go with it, the whole shabang. At first I felt really out of place. I mean, these people are freaking rich, and I am strictly middle class at this point in my life. But the people were very nice so it was all good. Honestly though, they didn't even need a babysitter. Well, they did, but only for one hour. The rest of the time there was some adult around. I ended up being there for five and a half hours. But I got paid well-$12 an hour-not bad if I do say so myself. It's above minimum wage, right? I went to the country club for the first time with them. Weird. I had driven by it so many times, but had never been behind that fence. And how long have I lived in this town?

Manhunt

Yesturday my friend and I wanted to start our summer tradition again. Playing manhunt every night of the summer. But our siblings had other plans last night, her sister was in Georgia, and my brother was going to a bonfire to burn his school stuff. So it would just be the two of us. We thought, well, we can go across the street, see if our neighbor wants to play, we can ask a friend of mine to get some kids together, and then we'll like six. We ended up having eight kids come to my house. We finally start to play, and my next door neighbor comes out and she's like, "Can you guys play in your own yard?" So we stopped, and jumped on the trampoline until we it was actually dark enough to actually play manhunt. Then we organized another game of manhunt, and at this point everyone knew we weren't aloud in my next door neighbor's yard. Of course everyone went in their yard. I didn't go over there, but apparently she came out again and said fucking bullshit to us. We ended up playing basketball instead, but still, I blame her. My mom said it's because she has nothing else to be angry at anymore.

Bridge

This morning I was babysitting my neighbors, and we were just sitting there with nothing to do, looking through the book of immaturity. Hehehe. Anyway, we saw this bridge you can make out of pennies. So then we made it. It took awhile, because the five-year-old knocked it down a couple of times. But we got it. And then we made another one at of quarters. Wow we have no lives.

Extreme Mastermind

Has anyone ever played the game Mastermind? Extreme Mastermind is when you play Mastermind, get frustrated and start throwing the little pegs at one another. And today, that is what I did. Aside from playing the computer version of guitar hero.

Broom

Today my friend came over. Not the one I hung out with yesturday, different friend. She brought a movie over for us to watch. How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days. It's actually a pretty good movie. Funny, because the girl is trying to get him to dump her, and the guy is trying to make her love him. After we watched that, we went outside. I got the giant broom out so she could clean off my trampoline. Makes perfect sense doesn't it? While she was cleaning it I was getting eaten alive by mosquitos so I guess it was fair. But her parents came to pick her so she threw the broom off the trampoline, hitting me on the head in the process. Let me tell you, getting hit in the head with a giant broom isn't fun at all.

Dels Fight

Yestuday my friend and I were going to go on a date. We were going to get ice cream together. He was already there when I got there, and so were three of his friends. Neither of us had planned this. But they were there thanks to one of them. His name is Dylan. He had found out that we were going to get ice cream, so he told to other friends to come as well. I guess to make up for it he bought us Del's lemonade. My friend and I threw it at him. Then my friend bought us some more Del's. Only this time it was watermelon flavored. We threw that at him as well. Funny we blamed it all on Dylan even though the other two had the choice not to come. But one of them didn't know we were going to be there.

Camp Rock

Last night I had a movie night with my friend at her house. That movie was what we watched. The premiere of Camp Rock on Disney Channel. I don't usually watch Disney Channel, but for something I wasn't planning on watching anytime soon, it was pretty good. Not that we were paying attention the whole time. In the middle of the movie she decided to find out if I was tickleish, and we had an intense tickle fight. By the way, I'm not giving anyone any ideas about this. Don't randomly come up to me and start a tickle fight. NOT FUNNY! Even if I'll be laughing the whole time.

Summer

Today was the last day of school. But it didn't feel like the last day at all. And my whole grade is going to a different school this year, so it was weird. It doesn't feel like summer, yet it is. How does that work? You know what who cares? IT'S SUMMER!!!!!!!!!!!!! There was a food fight in my school. Hilarious!!! Let's see....nothing else remotely interesting happened today. BUT IT'S SUMMER!!!!!!

Cookout

Today at school we had a cookout. First we had a ceremony type thing with a slideshow and everything. It showed one hundred kids from last year to this year. So many people and changed, and so many others didn't. It was funny. Then we had a cookout for three hours. There was red rover, ultimate frisbee, food, lots of free food. Who doesn't love free food that's tasty? Anybody who doesn't love that must die a terrible death. I'm a perfect little angel....honest:D

Code Red

Today we had a code red at our school. That means that there is something unsafe in the building. It was just a drill, and it seemed pretty stupid. The principal said over the intercom, this is a code red. We had to lock the door to the classroom, turn the lights off, close the blinds, and sit in a corner of the room completely quiet. For a half hour. My friend got tired, so she decided to lean on me. And then one of the guys was staring at us, like what the hell? We are tired okay? We stayed up late at a dance on a boat last night. Which was fun by the way. So many little dramas. Someone threw a chair off the boat. Pathetic. Although, I'm not surprised at all. But anyway, the dance was fun, and the drill seemed pointless. Who would come and terrorize our school in our town? Nothing happens here.

Birthday

Last night we were out celebrating my mom's birthday. Her birthday was on Wednesday, but yesturday she made us all go to Jamestown. I don't know exactly where we were, but it was pretty, except for the whole it's not sunny anymore thing. We were there for a couple of hours, but I basically missed the whole thing, because I stayed in the car so I could sleep. All of a sudden we are back in the car and it's 5:30. I still thought it was 3:30. It was very confusing. On the way home, we stopped for dinner, which is what we usually do. We are sitting on the second floor porch of the resturaunt, eating our appetizers of potato skins, when an annoying buzzer starts to sound. I look around and see in the resturant a flashing to go with the buzzer. Fire alarm? What the hell? I want to eat my potato skins in peace. I finished mine, and then I heard a voice that told the whole resturant to file out the back staircase. Everyone starts to leave, and I ask my parents "Shouldn't we leave?" My dad says that he is going to finish his bacon before he's going anywhere. Everybody has left, and there are only the waiters, some people at the porch bar, and us still in the building. Our waiter tells us leave, but we can wait in the parking lot, because it is only a small fire. We are in the parking lot, and the fire department shows up, and finally the alarm stops. We file back in, and the resturant is now much less crowded. Apparently one of the ovens in the kitchen downstairs stopped working and caught fire. We were lucky, because our food had just finished cooking when the fire alarm went off. The resturant couldn't cook anything till the health department showed up. Kitchen was closed, but we still got food. I didn't get to have my brownie sundae though. That was depressing.

Sleepover

Last night I had a sleepover with my friend at her house. There were at least twenty things we planned on doing, such as watching a movie, making a movie, make over, photo shoot, make brownies, play guitar hero, play guitar, and pull an all-nighter. Of those we only did four. First we made brownies. We didn't have your regular square pan, so we used a circular pan. Instead of making your normal brownies, we had a delicious brownie pie. We were going to make up. In fact we almost did. We started with the hair, but somehow we started playing guitar. It was really weird, that transition. But then we did have a photo shoot, just without the makeover. By that time it was about five in the morning, so we were talking till we fell asleep. I got four hours of sleep, all of which were after staying up a full 24-hours. That takes skill. Okay not really, but you know.

Lemonade

I can't remember the last time I had lemonade. Except for today of course, I can't remember, it's soooooooooo depressing. But today, my friend ran to the Dell's truck after school, and got us some. Watermelon flavored: YUMMMY!!!!!!!

Ice Water

On Monday, it was ridiculously hot here. My school only has a few rooms with air conditioning, and I just wasn't ready for the sudden heat. So today I planned ahead. I froze a bottle of water and brought it to school today. It was very nice, even though the people sitting next to me were making me feel guilty by staring at it the whole time. I refilled before I left to bike home, and I ACCIDENTALLY splashed it all over me. Accident. Honest.

School

I've been biking to school all week. I know, two days in a row, I'm such a rebel. I'm not supposed to go without a buddy, but today, my buddy flaked on me. She couldn't go because apparently she had too much stuff with her and her mother didn't want her hurting her back. But she might be able to walk home. So with that thought in mind, I convince my mom to let me ride by myself. Again, I'm such a rebel. Riding by myself, IT'S SO SCARY!!! I got to school and it turned out that she couldn't walk home, because of the heat. Which it is ridiculously hot out. I'll get into that later. So I rode by myself all the way home! Wow. I didn't think I had the courage to do something as scary as that. Sarcasm to the max. Anyway, on the way home I was hardly by myself. Because as soon as I got onto the bike path I was behind a group of roving youths as my mother would say. I knew them, and one of them in particular wouldn't let me by. Whatever, not a big deal. But my other friend caught up with me, so I was basically with the four of them the whole time I was on the bike path. Ahhh! I'm in the group of roving youths that my mother usually frowns upon when she uses that phrase. I'm in a rather sarcastic mood this evening. Maybe it's the weather.

Movie

My friend and I have been wanting to make a movie since like February or something. And we've never gotten around to it. So we are signing yearbooks, and we are saying, we have to make this movie now. Our plan was to have a sleepover this weekend and make it. So I tell my mom and she's like, "Well, you can have a sleepover, but I don't really like this having a sleepover every weekend. And I don't know about this movie. It's probably going to end up on the internet which would be a really stupid thing to do, and no. I don't want you making a movie." No matter what I said she couldn't be assured that we aren't going to put it on youtube, and it is for our enjoyment only. No matter what she's says we probably are still going to make it.

Different Library

Today I went to a library in a different town. From the outside it looked like it was a pretty good size. I get inside. IT WAS TINY!!!!!!! There was a lot of space. There was probably more empty space than book shelves. And they couldn't even fill they book shelves. I get to the young adult section, and say, "That's it?" It was miniscule! Although, I did find some books, so I guess it's okay. And then the computers. Five, maybe? It was wittwe wibrary!!!!! Baby talk, gotta love. But seriously it was soooooooooo small. Okay, I think I got the point across.

Red Hot Chili Peppers

The Red Hot Chili Peppers are a good band, I think. There is a song with a zephyr. My friend and I saw the word zephyr, and we both broke out into this song. Ever since, I've had assorted songs of their music stuck in my head. Not that that's a bad thing, I just had to listen to them. But I only had their music on my bean and on the computer. My bean's stolen so I had to wait until my very old and decrepid computer loaded to listen to it. By the time the computer was loaded, my dad was sleeping in the next room. I couldn't put music on; he's not feeling well. It was very frustrating. So now, I'm FINALLY listening to the Red Hot Chili Peppers. God that took awhile.

Career Day

So today we had career day. We had all kinds of different workshops to go to. But every person only could go to four. So after the realllllllllllly long speaker that spoke we went to our first workshop. Mine was the culinary arts. It was pretty good. She already had a cake made so she took the frosting and made it into a pretty sunflower on top. Then she let us eat the cake. At the end she was asking for questions. Nobody said anything. Then one kid said, the cake was tasty. YUM! The next workshop was not one I picked. So I was brutally forced to go to the attorney general. But it actually wasn't too bad. The kids were terrible, but it wasn't that bad. I still don't want to be one of those. My third workshop was performing arts. I thought it was going to be some acting crap. But it wasn't. Instead it was this guy who could play the fiddle and the guitar, and basically he just performed for us. Then the last one was interior design. Okay, I guess. After lunch, we had a fire fighter speak. And then a band played for us. It was good at first, but then I kind of lost interest. I don't know. Pretty boring day.

Violin Teacher

My current violin teacher is no longer teaching in this area, so I have to find a new teacher. I did a trial lesson with a new teacher today. She is really nice I think. She talks really really really really really really fast. Like she could be an auctioneer. She'd be good at that I think. And she's also really positive. She's like you're doing good, good, good. Well not like that. That's like a broken record, but you know what I mean. And then after, the next student was my 6th grade buddy. The awesome kid who has an amazing singing voice!!!! My bff.

List

At the beginning of this week, my friend and I decided to make a list of all the things that were going wrong this week. It started with stuff that happened Sunday. We included my bean being stolen, and her cell phone was stolen on Sunday so that was two right there. And then we just kept adding things. Like on Tuesday on the way to school. I hit a tree. It was either hit a tree or a car, and I chose the tree. I think it was the better choice. But I got a bruise that looked like a motercycle on my ring finger, and a cut on the inside of my middle finger. IT HURT LIKE HELL!!!!! By the end of Tuesday we were up to 50. Yesturday was bad. I couldn't ride my bike to school because it was raining, and then my mom grounded me because I had a bad attitude that matched the weather. So by the end of yesturday I was up to 70. But today was pretty good. I didn't have to add anything!!! YAY!!!! This calls for a party. Bring out the champagne and cookies.

Dark Side

Today I found out that my dad is on the Dark Side. You know, the Dark Side, the Force, Star Wars. Put it this way, my family is a bunch of nerdy freaks. Stars Wars, Star Trek, Star Gate, we've got it all covered. Anyway, my dad is on the Dark Side. He said it was in my genes to be on the Dark Side. So apparently I am too. My reaction was: "YES! This calls for a party. Bring out the champagne and cookies!!" And yes, that is a good combination...NOT THAT I WOULD KNOW...it's just common knowledge....that's all...honest.
