Have you heard?
Bobby Jindall is trying to get re-elected!
Lets help him out.
If you'd like more details about the LA Student Project just let me know.

So I really want to give a speech on caricatures, but I was wondering, are you allowed to draw a picture for the judge while giving a speech? In other words, I wanted the speech to kind of be like an art lesson, where I'm showing the judges how to draw caricatures, but I've never done an expos before, so I don't know the rules. Sarah needs input. I love yall.

About those quotes, two were from movies ("sounds sticky" was from veggie tales, and "I've got my eyes on you" was from x-men 2), and the third ("which is too long of a quote to type here"), was Dwight from The Office. The Office is probably the best tv show ever invented, I love it. You probably love it too, I'm just saying...

My favorite cereal on earth would have to be those strawberry mini wheat thingys.
What's your favorite cereal?
Or maybe you're more of a pancake person, I hate pancakes. But if you like pancakes that's okay, you're still cool.

Today my sisters and I decided to break out my camera and take some pictures, they're on the photo part of this site, so check it out. I have loverly sisters [on the outside], the tall beautiful one is my favorite. She is lovely on the inside and on the outside. As Barbara Alpert once said: "She is your mirror, shining back at you with a world of possibilities. She is your witness, who sees you at your worst and best, and loves you anyway. She is your partner in crime, your midnight companion, someone who knows when you are smiling, even in the dark. She is your teacher, your defense attorney, your personal press agent, even your shrink. Some days, she's the reason you wish you were an only child."

Amen

You know you live in a small town when your dentist (who has been here for about 2-3 years), tells you that you have the best teeth out of all his patients. And because we don't have a Wal-Mart, or a McDonalds...That's definitely another indication.
Apparently Brittany Spears likes smalls towns too:

“I think I'm more grounded, you know, and I know what I want out of life and I'm, you know, my morals are really, you know, strong and I have major beliefs about certain things and I think that has helped me, you know, from being, you know, coming from a really small town.”

Excuse me, but...what? At first you may think to yourself, "Wow, if she would only keep her mouth shut, then maybe people wouldn't regard her as a fool". But unfortunately her actions prove that she's not exactly the brightest star in the sky, so she basically has a lose-lose situation on her hands.

My youngest sister's 8th birthday was tuesday, and I know that I definitely felt like a fool when I was trying to open the brand new barbie that she got. I swear, those packages are IMPOSSIBLE to open! It took me fifteen minutes to finally realize that I was going to need something very sharp to make any progress. I may have the best teeth in my small town, but they're perfectly useless when it comes to barbie packages.

My little sister is so beautiful though, she has these gigantic blue eyes, and really long, gorgeous hair. She is quite annoying however. This morning I drove two of my sisters to church, and on the way there I accidently ran over a turtle. Now there are many creatures that I could kill and not care less about, but turtles are cool. My little sister thinks so too, because she started yelling at me for running over it.

"Sarah why did you do that, why would you run over a turtle?"
"It wasn't my fault Ruth, it jumped out of the bushes too fast for me to swerve around it."

You mean you didn't know turtles could jump out of bushes?

Well my excuse might have worked if there were actually bushes on the side of the road, but there weren't. So she didn't really believe me......

Well I have to go, I have a volley ball game to attend.

Oh yes, and JHIL stands for "Jacob Have I Loved"

[Edit]

See if you can guess where I got these following quotes:

1. "I've got my eyes on you"

2. "Sounds sticky"

3. "Yeah I went hunting once. Shot a deer in the leg. Had to kill it with a shovel. Took about an hour. Why do you ask?"

I have decided that no matter what happens, I'll never be convinced that Lady in the Water is a good movie. I wasted a free ticket on that movie, and for that I am sorry.

     In other news, guess who helped her brother and her dad stand up walls for their new house Satureday? It was a great experience (hey I learned what "popping a line" means), and one day I'll look back and say, "I helped build this house". I like that. Plus it was really fun teasing my dad about what a perfectionist he is.
     "Hey dad, I bet Laura Ingall's dad built their log cabin way faster than we're building this house."
     "Well their house was much smaller dear."
     "Yeah but they didn't have nail guns..."

So Grace and I still can't decide on colors for our new room, any suggestions? At one point we were thinking pink walls, with the trim, baseboards and door being black. Then, as we were looking in a magazine one day, we came accross this picture of a room with really cool, fresh looking blue walls. So maybe our walls will be blue...

     Sometimes at night, Grace and I will make up fun little games for ourselves while we're attempting to go to sleep. One time Grace had the idea that whatever we said, we had to leave the letter "s" out of it.
     "Hey Grace, what i my name?"
     "...Arah."
     "Hahahaha, nope, that i not my name."
     "Fine then, what i your name?"
     "....Arah....."
    Yeah we have fun...Last night we would make up things like, SPTCO, which means, Stop Pulling The Covers Off. So before I go, I'm going to leave you with:

JHIL

Try to guess what it means...It's from the Bible if that helps.

Bye for now!

Nationals was...amazing

I joined a gang [don't they look intimidating?]

I Watched brilliant masterminds use a video camera

I got to to hang out with these beautiful ladies

Nathan Brown played tricks with my mind [Jason and Ian tried to help me get him back...but alas, I never got the chance. Thanks anyway guys]

These guys are fun to laugh at. Preston loves Bryant, and Zach never did find me any advil...

This is my beautiful debate partner...she is much smarter than me; I would be lost without her. Love you Grace!

I met so many wonderful people in that (seemingly) short week. I took 396 pictures in all, and several [hilarious] videos. I may post more pictures of Nats soon, but it's so hard to choose which ones to post!

Nick Elledge, I need a picture of you smiling! I was so mad at myself for not getting one, I really was.

It was incredibly hard to leave those amazing people, howoever at the same time it's great to be home. I do not think I could have survived another day without my sister, it was torture being away from her for that whole week. Grace I love you dearly my sweet, and I hope never to be parted from you again!

This is all for now.
Much love

So I though I'd post something worth while for a change, something that would actually benefit those reading my xanga.

Something you can hold on to.
Something that you will remember until you have Grandchildren and can pass the profound wisdom unto them.
Something you will read and say "ah! This is why I didn't delete my subscription to Sarah a long...long time ago".
Something that will inspire you, perhaps it will even coax a chuckle from your throat.
Something short...but sweet.
Something you will wish you had thought of.

Just a little something...

Today I practiced my speech for Nationals
For the first time since Regionals
And I remembered
Every
Word

Your Grandchildren will be amazed

I had a whole cute little post typed up including nursery rhymes and everything...

but xanga chose that moment to have "a bug"

w h a t e v e r that means.

So therefore I shall just leave you with this picture

*sigh* good times

[riddle me this]

You have two coins that add up to 30 cents...and one is not a nickel.
What are the two coins?
