Quick updates, because I've got a date with a pork tenderloin.

1. I went to visit a career counsellor. What was interesting is that I went in there and said, "I was kind of thinking I might want to be a teacher." and she gave me this look like, "Like hell you do, Sovereign." We worked through a ton of things -- what makes me happy, what I love to do, what I do with my spare time and even addressed how much I suck when I procrastinate, and the end result is that I will be applying to university in the Fine Arts program. On a related note, I've decided that I would really love to take up pottery. The career counsellor also suggested I start a vision board, so I started plastering things to the previously boring furnace room doors:

2. I have plants. They are named Harold and Rosemary, and they are currently soaking up as much sun as possible on my art table. Harold is a mysterious plant who looks like he might one day be a tree, and Rosemary is, well, Rosemary. Pretty soon I intend to start a herb garden. The awesome thing about my room is that it looks out onto a patio, so I'm in the process of cleaning things up out there so I can set up a reading / planting / art spot out in the sun.

3. Speaking of the sun, there has been a steady stream of beautiful days over here in Chilliwack. My mom and I went for a walk along a river trail whose name I can't remember and I saw a heron. I think. I don't know. It was bird shaped. I also saw this old abandoned PMQ style house whose property I want to trespass on so I can photographically capture it in all it's creepy beauty.

4. Tonight I am making dinner, greek style. There are tons of Greek restaurants here, and all of them are amazing. I never realized before how much greek food rocks my world, but tonight I've decided to attempt something edible. We're having Grecian Pork Tenderloin, Greek salad, and Greek roasted potatoes with lemon , and for dessert, Greek Lemon Cake. Pictures and updates to follow, as I attempt to not destroy the kitchen with dinner.

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.
