This is my blog world. I call it The Labyrinth because life can feel like one, as evidenced my many of my posts.

So. Me:

Name: Sara Ann. (Hate my boring name. And my boring middle name. In fact, only like my last name)

****************************************

Nicknames I've had: Mustard, Scootchers, Gemi, Sara-Bara, Bara, Horcrux, Bestie Doodle. I don't mind MOST nicknames because they're endearing and as I've said, my own name is boring.

****************************************

Age: 18 as of June 2, 2013

****************************************

Favorite color: I actually don't know. I like colorful things. I think blue is very deep, light green is very peaceful, and purple can either be very calming or very passionate. I don't know how to choose just one.

****************************************

Favorite numbers: 4, 16, 394.

****************************************

Likes: Reading, writing, drawing, painting, art, listening to music, complaining, skiing, ice skating, making up stories in my head, laughing, making people laugh, cool/wild clothes, hugs, inspirational quotes, good friends, Harry Potter, dark chocolate, actually any chocolate, Ben and Jerry's, running, hedgehogs, puppies, making fun of politicians, changing peoples' computer backgrounds to weird random stuff while they're not looking, gum.

****************************************

Hates: Any sort of stinging insect, judgmental people, the DMV, that awkward moment when there's an inside joke and I don't get it, waking up early.

****************************************

Fears: Stinging insects, losing people I'm close too, home burning down, that moment when a favorite fictional character dies/turns out to be evil and your whole world kind of dies, always feeling alone, not making it in the world, becoming bitter and jaded, having children and seeing them suffer.

****************************************

Religion: Tolerance. The truth is, though I believe in some kind of power, I'm not sure how I define that at this point. I go to church because I believe in the work we do for the community and the world. I am so sick of people using their religion as an excuse to hate on others. As long as you're a good person I don't care if you don't believe the same thing as I do. In fact, one of my favorite quotes is: "What a coincidence that God hates all the same people you do!"

****************************************

Interesting facts: I have color-changing eyes. They were blue when I was young, but they slowly turned gray-blue. Sometimes they still turn bright blue, and I actually have a couple pictures to prove this. I collect fortune cookie fortunes, chapsticks, and paper books, because I'm afraid they may soon go out of print.

****************************************

My current obsessions: Writing good quotes in calligraphy, Six Word Stories, Shipping fictional characters, Black Butler and anything to do with Sebastian, Mugglenet Memes, Minecraft, funny/catchy songs such as "dumb ways to die" or "I'll make a man out of you" and the following song, "In which Draco and Harry secretly want to make out" by the Whomping Willows, which is...I mean, I don't even know how to...just listen.

****************************************

Favorite Manga/anime: I haven't actually read/watched a whole lot, but...Black Butler by far.

****************************************

Some stuffs about me: First and foremost, I'm a writer and storyteller. Of all the things that have changed in my life, that's been a constant and I'm pretty sure it always will be. I'm also an artist and a calligrapher. I'm pretty sensitive and emotional and can get very fired up over a topic. I like to read beyond reason and when I'm into a very good book I won't notice if my current dwelling falls down around me. I'm a passionate skier. I love nature and hope to live in a place with a lot of forests, mountains, or ocean later in life. I like to talk but I believe in the importance of everyone being quiet once in a while. I'm pretty weird and can also be kinda awkward......yeah. There's also a lot of things about me that are not so good. I try to be better every day and I really like the quote "You should only ever try to be better than the person you were yesterday."
And I love bacon. A lot.

Welcome to the labyrinth that is my life.

Life. It is better.

So I realize I've been pretty sporadic about posting. I'm sorry for not talking to you guys, like, at all. I have been so damn overwhelmed because life can be that way. But things are getting better. I still can't do fanart because my laptop isn't working, and that's the only computer that connects to our scanner. But before I go to college I'm getting a new laptop, so maybe there will be more art then.

I hope to be on here more often from now on. We'll see.

Still alive

Hai there. Just thought I'd let you all know that I am not dead...sorry I'm no longer drawing or posting. Like at all. Life. Stress. College applications. Math. Blah. More stress. I have some cool drawings though...but the scanner is not working. So yeah.

Happy halloween, all!

Hi! Happy Halloween! I usually give out gifts on Halloween...but I'm too busy for that, so I'll do it tomorrow and possibly show pics of my Halloween costume (I went as a dark fairy and my friend did my makeup and it turned out EPIC, thank you very much. I hope everyone has a happy Halloween! Oh, one more thing. My facebook cover photo, just for the occasion:

Preparing for Sandy

So. Most of the schools in our area are out today. But they made our school district go in. I'm kinda pissed because last time they kept us in school during a windstorm, it was a disaster. I'm gonna have to walk home when the winds are picking up today. Tomorrow, they'll probably just keep us home. I'll stay inside with hot cocoa and candles in case we lose power. I just hope a tree doesn't fall on us (we kinda live in a forest) but we had an inspector come out and take down the trees that were likely to fall. I just hope school's in on Wednesday for Halloween, because we have our costume contest and I worked really hard on mine. That's pretty much it.

BUT SERIOUSLY, SCHOOL DISTRICT? HURRICANE. DANGEROUS. WIND. RAIN. Who decided to send us in today, anyways?
