On the choir stairs. Seriously.

I'm the kind of girl who likes to stay in on the weekend... to revamp her website. Although, it's not like this weekend isn't going to feature a whole lot of activity that I can rock with my special brand of social retardation, like when I get flustered and replace any assemblance of English language with strange gutteral sounds that, FYI, actually mean, "Hey, how are you? That is a neat shirt."

I should really just hand out an English to Sarah dictionary so people can understand what I'm talking about when I get flustered because OH MY GOD, EVERYONE IS LISTENING TO MY STORY ABOUT HOW THIS ONE TIME, THE ANGLICAN WOMEN'S CHURCH SOCIETY FOUND A COUPLE "COPULATING" ON THE CHOIR STAIRS. And then my entire face goes bright red, and I seem to lose the ability to form vowels.

Yesterday, I woke up as per usual at 7:00 to get ready for work, only when I wake up for 7 I like to press snooze four or five times. So I was trying my hardest to get ready and do an incredibly attractive sweaty power walk to work in under five minutes, except that I didn't pay nearly enough attention to my wardrobe choices. I arrived at work on time, but immediately realized that I was wearing... lavender scrub pants with a bright green shirt over top. ...Like the Joker.

I am actually in desperate need of new scrubs. I bought a lavender set last May, but the shirt is about twenty miles too big on me, and I discovered yesterday that one of my favourite pair of work pants has a super attractive hole right in the crotchal region. If I don't do something about this soon I'm going to have to cut holes into a tarp and don it as fashionable lab gear.

In other news, I am back on my island and autumn is in the air! There aren't a lot of multicoloured trees here, which is something I miss, along with the crisp apple-y smell of my Uncle Jim's orchard and the excitement of buying spiral bound notebooks, pens and other random school supplies in September. I have had to physically stop myself from buying binders and fun erasers which is something I'm going to go crazy for next fall when I go back to school.

That's right! I'm going back to school! I'd like to take teaching, so I'm going to apply real soon and will be leaving here sometime in the early winter. I'm currently figuring out how to transport all my random crap with me via lengthy trips across the ocean.

In the meantime, this blog might disappear for a little while. I haven't been updating a whole lot -- from travelling around Canada (me and Brad went through Ontario, Manitoba, Saskatchewan and BC in two days because we are reckless and dumb.) to sewing handbags (I started one last night. It looks like it was sewn by a toddler and I accidentally sewed the strap in the bag... along with four or five currently trapped needles, but it's going to be awesome.) to eating deer... for the first time ... ever! (I am pretty excited about this. I might tattoo it onto my body.)

But, for those of you who want to know what's happening blog wise -- if I move it somewhere else, or for those of you who just want to keep in touch, email me here: storeboughtzen@hotmail.com. I am also a lemming and joined Facebook, so add away.

In the words of my beloved Sarah Silverman, Keep it Sleazy Beazy's.

You're not implying we should get our own lives rather than live vicariously through yours, are you? Are you???

Is this the end? I get this image of Richard Nixon (or Morty Seinfeld) waving the victory sign just before he boards the plane that will fly him into obscurity . . .

Sarah, your journaling/blogging is a great thing---and may you always be journaling, for yourself,in some form---but this is a very big deal---it is.
Life is taking priority over the blog now. As it should.

To paraphrase a line from the musical, "Mame"----Welcome to the banquet that is the world---- and live, live, living it, while most poor suckers are starving to death----

Just when I was beginning to love the idea of a true woman pirate living in our village.

ImageHi. My name is Sarah
and I live by the sea. I like pirates and vikings and my audio cassette tape player. I am 25 years old and pretty much covered in sand all the time. Also, I like cookies. My profile.

ImageHey Sarah, what are ye listening to?
Lots and lots o' stuff, like St. Germain's "So Flute" and "Ghosts" by Ladytron. I can't believe Robyn is out with new stuff and it doesn't make me want to show her love by jabbing rusted forks into my eyes. It's actually really catchy and kind of endearing. I have been looking up the songs from So You Think You Can Dance all year, too, because it's all awesome and at heart, I'm still a spandexed little dancer ready to punch Annie in the face and show Daddy Warbucks a thing or two about tap musicals.

ImageI'M READING:
Walking Dead:

    Frigging awesome. One of the best books about the Zombocalypse I've ever read (one of the only good books about the Zombpocalypse I've ever read). I think there's something about zombies that is so hard to construe via text ... I mean, honestly, you can only use the word "purtrid" so much, and the visual, awesome aid of comics really helps.

ImageI'M SEEING:
Quarantine, a movie that's kind of the equivalent to being on the Disney spinning teacup ride, except, also, there are RABID ZOMBIES ON BOARD. Honestly, I missed quite a bit of this movie because I spent a good portion of it with my head nestled into my boyfriend's armpit attempting not to vomit. The camera movement is, at times, insanely choppy and all over the place, and those of you prone to motion sickness, you might want to skip this one. I'd give it about 2 1/2 stars out of 5, because it's decent -- I'd even watch it again if I could keep the room from spinning.

ImageBOOK CLUB!:
The Kite Runner. I love this book. It wasn't necessarily a book I'd choose to read (these days I appear to be more interested in books geared towards teenage girls.), but I'm so glad I did. Beautiful writing. Next choice... I'm going to volunteer the Bell Jar because IT'S THE BEST BOOK EVER.
