heh dyed my hands BLUE yesterday during arts and crafts. It's not fading quite so quickly but it's all patchy dark blue and skin colored. All Camp last night was a big dance each unit chose a time period and danced to a song. The lead girls were the 90's and did "Mama Mia" and then Ernie and Celeste and some of the leads swing danced to an Elvis song and I dressed up as Elvis and lip singed. It was brilliant.
We're at the beach now no one's swimming again today. Brooke re-bleached her hair. And then fell in the lake while trying to get back in her kayak. mmm Scout's Own tonight. CIT's building the fire and everything. Good times.

huh hell of a lot happening in the last week I haven't written. There was this whole confusing mess at the end of last week where everyone thought that Brooke and Molly and Ro Ro had all been fired but they're all back now, I have no clue what's going on there. Yesterday was cool, a lot of the staff were off last night so Ernie and Celeste and I staffed tables. We went up to Bending Trees later and read the little kids bedtime stories. Little kids are funny. We're outside the showerhouse now. The lead girls are being REALLY FRIKKIN LOUD. So more people think that Ernie and I are lesbians. Jackie talked to us today before breakfast and apparently we're being too touchy-feely and making people uncomfortable...what the hell. I act around her like I act around any of my other friends and being told I can't do that really bothers me and really pisses me off.
oooh I dyed my hands yesterday in arts and crafts. We were tye-dying t-shirts and Maggie said the stuff won't wash off skin for a week and we should wear gloves. Yeah, you know me, I stuck my hands in the buckets after everyone was done so now one hand is green and the other is blue but the colors are fading already (GRR!) so now they just look dirty unless you look closely. People are scrutinizing my handwriting now...yeah. Fun. Crazy people. OW Brittani just jumped on me and fell over my neck. That was kinda painful. OW she is sitting on me and crushing my leg curses get off you silly girl. She's still here. Curses. And just just kissed me. Yeah. Strage child. Well they're all finally almost out of the showerhouse so I am going to go learn CIT stuff now TOODLES.

hahaha I just realized that James has blocked me from his VF account because of me being protective of Devon and telling him to stop screwing up her birthday party. If I recall correctly I took the phone from Kat and said something along the lines of "Look, this is Devon's birthday party, and you're really putting a damper on everything and upsetting everyone. I'm going to hang up now, please don't call back."

"you should now be unable to check out my vf because i have blocked you do to my resent acknowlagement of you being a pain in my ass when it comes making choise with things i dont think i should not need help desiding........ sorry for the inconveince shit happens fuck the drama please dont call"

Funny thing is, I haven't been able to log onto VF, so while I'm still not logged on I can still see his account.
Even funnier thing is, what on earth did he hope to accomplish with this?
Sad thing is, I was still willing to be friends with him.

[mood]: tired
[music]: basement sounds

Moving day today. Sorta. Picked up Josh on the way home from camp last night, he stayed over. We got up at 6 and started setting stuff up for the tag sale, movers came around 8 or 9 and started moving furniture around and my room is empty (and when I say empty I mean empty) and it echoes when I walk into it and I stood in the middle of my room today and it felt so strange. If we were still moving to Arizona I would have been crying then. As it is, I grew up in this house, it's kinda scary leaving it. I took a two hour nap on the floor of my room around 5 and then kept working again until 9 or 9.30 my parents are still over at Keeney Street with the movers. We're sleeping over at the Harris's house tonight. They are so nice.

I have a pocketwatch. My mom was going to sell it. But I rescued it. It was hers in high school. Now I know what time it is, which is a good thing, since the last 3 watches I've had are all broken or dead and in a box somewhere with the rest of my junk. It is very loud. I have to remember to wind it every day. It makes me smile.

I'm so tired now.

Missed the Ravis's party bonfire thing it was so much fun last year and I really wanted to go and my dad said we'd probably be done around 7 and be able to go but then all of a sudden it was 10 and he said we probably wouldn't make it and we didn't. My mom stopped by to say hello though and she brought back food which made me happy because all of our food had been packed into boxes and brought to Keeney Street and I never had dinner and I was hungry. And then she left and went back to Keeney Street and I ate some pasta and then danced around the kitchen while eating a canoli. Yeah you know you wish you were cool like me.

Going back to camp tomorrow. Please write to me. Getting mail is nice and makes me feel special and not getting mail is sad.

You know you want to.

gaaah I'm so tired. I'm going to take a shower now.

hey wow I'm leaving today but then coming back again Sunday. We were supposed to camp out at Northstar last night with the whole tents, cooking on fires, digging your own toilet deal but then all the younger girls didn't want to so we were going to set up tents on the frikkin SPORTS FIELD but then Celine was like, hey no more sports field we're going to camp out IN THE UNIT. So we set up tents right outside our cabins and slept in tents. Me and Ernie and Celeste tried setting up our tent inside the cabin just for laughs, and it TOTALLY fit but then Celine made us move it outside. It was fun.

We went for a hike again today along the pipline. Caitlin had to take her hair out because she couldn't fit her riding helmet over it. Sarah let me borrow her wicked awesome pants for the day. Brooke read us a bedtime story last night, "Can't You Sleep Little Bear?" AAH this hair style makes my head itch so much GRRR yeah we're having a cookout lunch today woot toodles.

Did Caitlin's hair today too hahaha we're contagious! Ro Ro took hers out though. Ah well. Ernie's trying to pierce her own ear. Oh my goodness. Yeah...All Camp tonight. This week's All Camp was a counselor hunt, it was so much fun. There are 2 more counselors this week, Alpha and Sweet. Hmm I am going to bed now. GOODNIGHT!

haha it is RAINING again and we just had a cookout dinner and it started raining at the end and then it started pouring and Ernie and I swing danced in the rain and then everyone sang "I'm Singing in the Rain" and we all got absolutely soaking wet and it was awesome and hilarious and I'm all high on rain and hyper. Okay Ernie wants to give me her myspace thing more later maaaybe. mmk I'm, back. Penny threw spoonfuls of pudding at Brooke. wow Ernie is playing drums RIGHT next to my head she has her practice drum pad with her OW my head. Okay she just moved. woot.

Hey so I'm back and I'm listening to Juliana Theory and we have like an hour of "me time" now because we just hiked around the lake and there's nothing else planned for us until our beach lunch. Wow my legs have all these streaks of dirt on them. We did Ro Ro's hair last night so now she's all cool and crazy like us. It was fun Ro Ro's a JC and she's only a year older than me and we were just hanging around talking and looking at photos until JKasmine came in and said it was almost lights out and Ro Ro's break was almost over. hahaha Ernie's calendar's quote for the day is "love your body, including your love handles". woot.
Hey I'm back we are in the dining hall because it's thundering no ultimate frisbee for us today.

So we are into the 2nd week at camp and Ernie and I did each other's hair today and we have to go outside because it's time for people to set the tables hold on. Yup back so it never thundered after all dear god they are SINGING THAT SONG AGAIN ugh that song is EVIL okay yeah I have to go again help clean up hold on...Hey I am back it is after dinner we had pudding for dessert and me and Ernie and Badger had a pudding eating contest. Ernie won. She ate 5 1/2 cups, I ate 5, and Badger only ate 2 she was angry. Ernie feels sick now and it's pretty hilarious. We are in the cabin because it's raining. Hahaha Ernie is making funny noises and saying I'm evil because I threatened to poke her in the stomach. Anyways...as I was saying before, yeah, me and Ernie did our hair today and it looks really cool we used those tiny elastic band things and covered our heads in little ponytails. Ro Ro is coming over in a 1/2 hour and we're doing hers too. Hmmm my head hurts it is lie down and listen to music time TOODLES.

[mood]: meh kinda out of it
[music]: Sweet Avenue, Canon, Constellation, all those songs I couldn't listen to this last week..

After next week the BV will probably change to BT (gonna be a CIT, switching units and all that...) You don't have to put the letters, it just helps out the people in admin who have to sort the mail. Kristine I need your address.

So I'm back for a few hours. Leaving again tomorrow morning. Thanks to those who sent me mail (Kristine and Nate) and as for the rest of you...I still love you anyway. And I'll still be at camp for 3 more weeks...
I hope those letters I sent got to those people who I sent letters to. Nate I sent yours this morning. So you probably won't get it for another few days.
My ipod died after the first night because I left it on overnight. It is charging right now. Next week I have to not fall asleep with it on or I shall again be musicless, wow that sucked so much.
All my dirty clothes fit in 2 loads of laundry, which makes me happy.
Ernie is my camp hero.
Badger rocks my socks.
Brooke (CHOOK!) is insane and hilarious as always.
Everyone else is just amazing.
I love camp.

"I'm a butterfly with a sexy butt!"

Yeah, don't remember how that happened.

Going to Devy's house later today.

Hope I can talk to some of you people before I leave again. No one is online now. Wake up you silly people.

I got the new Harry Potter book today. I typed "Narry" first. Silly index finger.

I'm gonna go eat lunch now.

hmm...BEACH. Fun stuff at camp yeah I'm really bad at this whole writing every day thing. I drew a heart on my leg. Yeah. Oldest camper again this year. Everyone calls me Ezra. Really good friends with this 14 year old Jen who everyone calls Ernie. There are 2 Sarahs in my group.

Yeup, leaving tomorrow. Fun stuff. Good times. You all better write me. Those of you who I stalk enough to know where you live (Devon, Josh, Andy, Kat) you'll probably end up getting letters from me anyway, if I end up being bored enough. Every one else...write me letters. And I'll write back. Woot!

MUCH LOVE!

~Sarah~

Today at the tag sale (thanks for coming Nathan...no one else did :-P) Josh dressed up in a clown wig, Joe's pleather pants, and Joe's shiny sequin vest from Pippin. He then stood at the bottom of the driveway during the tag sale, holding a sign saying "WILL DANSE 4 MUNEY must pay off college loans" and in about an hour and a half, made $10.50 dancing for people.

Josh is my hero.




Person: Your son is quite entertaining.
Dad: Oh no, he's not MY son.

Dad: Just so everyone knows...there is no DNA relation between myself and the boy dancing at the bottom of the driveway!

Hey everyone there's gonna be a big Schaffer moving sale tomorrow morning and you should all come and say hello to me and Joshy darling (honorary Schaffer...he's gonna be helping out) and buy stuff.

152 Grandview Drive
8am-12 noon
rain or shine (if it's raining it'll be in the garage)

check out the tag sale website...odd, yes, but I guess my dad was bored.

Guess what time it is? Around 6:25 am. I woke up about 15 minutes ago. Well this is just lovely lovely lovely I fell asleep around 1 this morning...5 hours of sleep...hell I never even woke up (and stayed awake) this early on school days.

[mood]: giggly
[music]: sugarcult-memory

last night:

Emily: Let's just get married.
Me: Yes!
Me: haha you're one of like...three people I'm gonna marry
Me: I'm gonna have multiplie wives! and a husband, apparently
Emily: Well I asked you out freshman year so I got dibs


today:

Me: boys suck
Me: SO much
Emily: Indeed
Emily: I'll toast to that
Me: we should just...marry each other
Me: and be done with it
Emily: Honey, we already decided that

Me: kat says I should turn lesbian :-P
Emily: You should
Me: maybe I will
Emily: But only if i did too
Me: ok
Me: emily! will you turn lesbian with me?!?!?!
Emily: Yes!
Me: SCORE!
Emily: Obviously.

Andy: Why did you get it cut off?
Me: ingrown toenail gone really bad
Andy: Jesus christ
Andy: That's attractive
Me: yeah isn't it?
Me: aren't you like, wicked turned on now?
Andy: My pants?
Andy: Completely ruined

[mood]: ugh tired
[music]: whatever Joe's listening to now

I got part of my toe cut off today...no more ingrown toenail for Sarah...it was WEEEIRD. The numbing shot thing hurt a hell of a lot but then I could see the doctor cutting into my toe and I was thinking "You know...this should really hurt...but...it...doesn't!" I was laughing through the whole thing.

I got my schedule! Tell me if you have any classes with me...

1st Semester:
1- AP US History (Cooper)
2- Snack (EWWWWWWWWWWW this is gonna be worse than 3rd period freshman year...)
3- Russian 5 (Eklund)
4- Film Study (Towler)
5- Stat & Prob (Waz)
6- Composition (which I never signed up for and will hopefully be switching out of)
7- Racquet Sports/Advanced Research Mentorship (Dysenchuk)
8- Advanced Research Mentorship (Fuss)

2nd Semester:
1- same
2- Trig (Mueller)
3- same
4- Modern Lit 1 (Piskura)
5- Free
6- Lunch
7- same
8- same


I'm mildly confused, one because I never signed up for Composition, and I shouldn't have ended up with 2 frees...I'm going to see if I can take videography now, since I can't remembered what else I signed up for that I wouldn't have gotten into, to end up with 2 frees...I just hope that the video classes aren't all filled up by the time I get a schedule appointment.

[mood]: icky/sad/bitter/numb
[music]: Pachelbel's Canon in D Major


This song is rather soothing. It makes me feel better and sadder at the same time...but mostly better.
Zox has a really cool-sounding version of this song. You should all download it. It sounds great with guitar and whatnot...

But this is rather nice.





Dad: Wow this is a real oldie you're listening to.
Joe: Really? When was it written?
Dad: Oooh, around 1750.

Yes so I'm back from Maine and Cambridge and Brandeis and all that. Walking around Cambridge was a lot of fun, as was Brandeis, that campus is beautiful, and I was loaded down with all sorts of lovely booklets and pamphlets and brochures and whatnot. Becca is 4 and a half and is rather adorable, but she attached herself to me as little girls tend to do and I found my small child tolerance wearing a bit thin after a while...
Maine was awesome. Beach and quirky little shops and gorgeous weather and all that and my aunt and her friends are absolutely INSANE and it was awesome.
Spite and Malice is the best card game EVER.
My uncle still doesn't seem to understand that Sarah doesn't apprectiate not-so-subtle vegetarian jokes. Sarah says..."If you weren't my uncle I'd flick you off."
I got the most awesome part of pajama pants and a second-hand store we went to. Velvet leopard spots. Sam...or anyone who has worn Sam's pajama pants...they are like that. Except red and black rather than tan and black. They are amazing. But they shed little red fuzzies all over the place.
My aunt and her friends had fun being "appauling". Since I'm not a little girl anymore they no longer feel the need to mask what they say around me. Great fun. Sue says..."When Becca's 16, I'm SO sending her on vacation with you guys."

"Are you a Successful Single?"
Janice: I was, but then my hand cramped.




Devon, Mindy...they are us in 20 years...Devon, remind me to tell you about the white mice...I told my aunt that "my friend Devon would probably find that pretty funny" and she wants to know how you react...yeah...









Yes, I heard all that you had to say
That's when it all fell apart
Might be hated, but I can't pretend
I liked you better before
So long, so long
Front foot leads the back one
Go on, and it won't be too soon
I'm gone, I'm gone
And on to the next one
So long, and I won't be back soon
Yes I'm blue, but I'm holding my breath
Like I had from the start
I'm the villian, and I should confess
I liked you better before.
