Dag, yo.
[Basics]
Name/Nicknames: Sarah, Greg, Sarab, Sarah B. (Yes, I am one of those unfortunate people that have to suffer through school with an initial following her rightful name because there are multiple Sarah's in her classes. Gah.)
Age: 13
Location: Virginia, USA
Gender: female
[Fave]
10 fave musical artists: Alanis Morissette, Melissa Etheridge, Gavin DeGraw, Jason Mraz, John Mayer, Sarah McLachlan, The Killers, Green Day, My Chemical Romance, Fountains of Wayne
5 fave movies: This is so cliche' now-a-days, but I really do like A Nightmare Before Christmas. Or rather the man behind the animation. Tim Burton is really a unique and special soul, and I love all of his works. I also like the movie 10 Things I Hate About You, because Julia Stiles is a killer actress and Heath Ledger singing! Marvelous! Finding Neverland was a cute, little movie, and I liked Edward Scissorhands as well. No, I'm not a crazed Johnny Depp fangirl, I just liked the movies. Finally...we have ET. ET made me cry, man, because I so wanted an alien when I saw that movie and then it ended and the alien went away. Why must the alien always go away?
3 fave books: Oh, I could easily give you 5 but if I must narrow it down to 3...hmm...Tithe: A Modern Faerie Tale, by Holly Black. That book was so awesome. It spun a magical tale of love, friendship, death and new beginnings in a fantastical world with a modern voice. I cannot wait until Valiant and Ironside come out. Both Holly Black workings. I also like the book Witch Child, by Celia Rees. I read this book in the 6th grade, and it sparked the whole historical fiction obsession that I have. I've read all of Celia Rees's later historical fiction works...namely Witch Child, Sorceress, and Pirates! All fabulous. Finally, I really liked the book Bloody Jack, and the author's name escapes me at the time. My apologies. This book was recommended to me by my sister and me being the ever so obediant read it and adored it. Thus, leading me to read its sequel, Cure of the Blue Tattoo. All books mentioned highly recommended.
[Opinions]
The government: I know I should be more informed on the government, but I really don't know much about it. I know all the teenagers in my area are all "anti-Bush" and crap like that, but they dont' have any reason. They just think they're all liberal and bad, but hey, they're free to have their opinions, even if they are half-hearted. I'm making an honest effort to become better acquainted with the government, however, so by the next presidential election I should be ready to form my own, more solid, opinions on our government here in the US.
Abortion: I really think it's all up to the mother. Sure it's like taking a life, but they remove the fetus, not the actual full-grown baby. So that's why it gets me when I see these "Abortion is murder" hoodies and shirts and stuff with pictures of 8-month-along babies in the womb on them...because they can't abort a baby that's 8 months along, so it's misinformed opinion. If a woman truly, honestly knows that this potential baby would not have a good life if born then she should be allowed to make the desicion for an abortion and bypass that. It's better than the baby being born and living this horrible life that could've been avoided. This is really one of those topics you hop back and forth on, because there's so many ways that you can look at it. However, I really think the desicion is ultimately up to the mother, because it's her business, her potential baby.
Animal Rights: A lot of people say that veg*ans are weak and they're softies. These are the people that don't care about animal rights. They don't care that a kitten is getting thrown out of a 2-story window, or that a dog is being punted like a football by the man next door as entertainment. These people think that they don't have to worry about the pain that these LIVING, BREATHING, FEELING creatures are experiancing because they have their own life to deal with and they don't have to deal with others. They think because animals aren't as intelligent as them that they can take advantage of this vulnerability. People have problems with respect, namely giving it. Everytime I use the following argument people contradict it because of the species similarities and species differences, but this is the best way to say it for me: An animal and a retarded person. Both are vunerable because of the disabilities. The animal isn't retarded, it just isn't as intelligent as us superior humans. The person was born with a brain defect, and they are retarded. If you say that it's okay to hurt the animal but not the retard, because the animal isn't a human, then what you're saying is because something is a different species you're going to affect it more than a human? Isn't this almost like...racism? It isn't race-wise, but it's close. Speciesism. That's what is is, learn it and educate, because animals need more rights and respect. I don't understand how a person can go around hurting a creature without feeling a bit of remorse...maybe it makes you the bigger man? Is that what they may think? If so, than I think that these people are disgusting and I don't want anything of them. Animal rights. They NEED them.
same sex marriage: Simple answer: It's their business so leave them alone. When the government is now prying into a large number of persons love lives, then that's when I know that this country is getting carried away. I've heard of many things, and I understand when you prevent inter-family marriage, but when people obviously feel something for one another then let that love be free. Don't prevent something just because you don't understand it. Do NOT create a law on IGNORANCE.
Drugs: Drugs used in the hospital to prevent or heal sickness is acceptable. Drugs used for pleasure are not acceptable. Those types of destructive drugs are used to numb the pain, but when that pain is emotional it isn't right. When you use a drug to get a high and for fun, that's when you're taking drugs and abusing them. People ruin their lives and destroy lives every day with drugs, so why would a person want to get mixed up in that is beyond me. If a person's live flat-out SUCKS, then they should'nt turn to that, they should turn to a light and try to make it better. When you have a problem, solve it with an answer, don't ignore it with destruction.
[List at least 5 reasons for being a loser]
*I had to move to a new state the summer before 8th grade. I can't say I'm that partial to my new school for my own reasons, so to express this discomfort within it I found a way to passive-aggressively get back at their peppy school spirit. Everytime I get mad at someone or something about the school, I wear my old middle school shirt that I got at a spelling bee (I've got a ton of em) to school and it gets them every time. ;D
*I like to draw pictures of old men and pretend boyfriends. Oh, whoa, not pretend boyfriends that are old men but yeah...yeah...two separate drawings..whoa...yeah.
*With no real social life, I tend to stay in my room talking to my other anti-social friends on the computer, writing stories, poems, reading fantasy and historical fiction, watching MTV2 and VH-1, manageing my hermit crab, Jingles, and playing with him, and then coming out for a restroom run or nutrition whenever I risk it.
*I'm the only folk rock lover than can turn and enjoy punk rock at the same time. Any here?
*I wear my house key that doesn't work in the new locks around my neck because it makes me feel like a normal teenager. Now if that isn't a characteristic of a loser, I don't know what is.
[other]..be original!
If you had one million dollars, what would you spend it on and why?: If I had a million dollars I would do the obvious, donate a huge chunk of it to an organization, my choice being the ASPCA. Then, I would buy a huge fish tank, fill it with sand, and then buy a bucket of hermies and have a party. Finally, I would use the rest of it to fly down to SC, grab my best friend, fly to Australia, and live in the Down Under until dinner time.
What is your plot to take over the world?: Well, I figure I'll start with Canada. Overthrow the prime minister, rename it Sarada, that sort of thing. Then, I would turn on the US and steal all of their chickens in back of my Volkswagen van and take em up to Sarada with me. Sure, it'll take me a couple trips but it'll be worth it because then I figure I'll breed them until I have enough chickens to start the central world domination plan: turn the chickens on the countries and then breed them with fish for swimming chickens, then cats for clever chickens, then dogs...wait no...dogs are disgustingly loyal. Forget dogs. Then, we'll breed them with kangaroos so we can have chickens with pockets that we can put notes in them and no one will suspect them...even though they're dominating the world..but still! Finally, we'll overtake the world leaders with our charming wit and impressive knowledge about circus performers and comic strips. They'll be so impressed, actually, that they'll surrender and rename Earth so that instead of boring Earth it is now known as the great, planet of Sarab! Of course, then the chickens will realize that a billion chickens against one world leader is no problem and they'll turn on me...but you never said I had to keep the world domination...?
If you were stranded on a deserted island what 5 things would you bring with you and why?: I would bring Jingles, my hermit crab, because I cannot trust my pal in the hands of my family. My mom has already threatened to eat him a couple times so I'm not going to risk that, thanks. I'll also bring my best friend, Syd, so we can enjoy each other's company. Syd will bug me to bring her new puppy, Jackson, so I suppose he's included as well. Then, I'll bring the phone number to the nearest Papa John's on another island close, because you never said it was an UNKNOWN island, just deserted. Then I'll bring money because I'll need to pay for that pizza. Finally, I'll bring a magic genie in a bottle to grant me three wishes so I can wish for three more things.
If you could have any "ONE" super power, what would it be?: If I had one super power it would have to be the ability to see through walls. That ability would be handy in more ways than the average saving the world...;D.

[Pictures]
+2 or more Pictures of You the loser
I'm sorry, I and no one I know owns a digital camera or a scanner, or else I would gladly share a picture of myself.
+ a picture of the dorkiest item you own
Again, see note above. However, the dorkiest item I do own is this swimming pool turtle toy that I put in a fish bowl with gravel in place of a real turtle because I don't want to kill the turtle. It looks totally ridiculous...and is sitting on my TV stand at the moment. It travels. ^_^ Sorry I don't have a picture. : (
+ a picture of something that would make us laugh
What the heck?
I am so sorry! I don't have any pictures of myself or my dorkiest item. I, and no one I know, owns a digital camera or a scanner, so I can't get pictures through to you. I am so sorry.
Any last words???: A million pardons for the absence of pictures, and trust me, if I could, I would. I really do think I'm a loser, but if that's not other people's perception of me than whoa, that's new. Well, hope you enjoyed my application. Thanks for your time.
Cheers, Sarah.
