So I guess this is kind of like my blog world or something. This is actually where my Share the Love world used to be, but I never used it for what I intended it to be. So now it's gone, and I've changed my blog title to The Labyrinth because I feel like life can be a lot like the Labyrinth in legends. It's a giant maze and we're all just people stumbling through it. Sometimes we mess up and make wrong turns because we can't clearly see what we should do, and sometimes we can clearly see that path we must take. Sometimes we do take that path, other times we are led astray by tricks and temptations. I'm trying to learn to navigate the Labyrinth of my life, to find beauty and reasons to smile, and to keep my eyes on the constants, the rise of the moon and sun, the continuity of change, the way time pushes forward and one minute melts into another, allowing us to eventually leave all the bad times in the past where they belong.

So, um...

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

Personality: It really depends. I am a very strongly emotional person and the way I am really depends on my current emotions.

Age: 17 (Senior in high school)

Favorite color: I love all colors and see them as potentially artistic and beautiful...but if I had to choose, blue.

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, inspirational quotes, good friends, Harry Potter.

Hates: any sort of stinging insect, judgmental people.

Religion: tolerance. Well, actually, I am a Christian, but my point is that I don't care if you're not. I am so sick of people using their religion as an excuse to hate 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: "What a coincidence that God hates all the same people you do!"

People I admire: J.K. Rowling (of course), Suzanne Collins, Dr. Seuss, Luna Lovegood (she's real to me!), Barack Obama (No haters please, I'm not here for a political debate), Adele.

My current obsession: looking up videos for songs with Harry Potter clips in them. A good one for this world, I believe, is this.

Welcome to my blog.

I need the <3

Well, tomorrow my contest ends, the one for hug fanart. And I'm asking anyone who sees this to please submit for me. Because seriously, seeing all those sweet drawings make me happy, and I've had a rough day. Basically, it's about my friend's situation and about mine, and how I can't make things better for her and she's suffering...long, long story short, I need the love right now. So please, hug drawings? You don't have to, but I would really appreciate it. I need hugs.

I am Dumbledore.

So this is an update. First, I'm trying to change to my Halloween avatar...but the website is not cooperating. Grr. Well, I'm sure I'll figure it out.

My Dumbledore costume is all made! I couldn't resist running around my house with my cloak flapping like a cape, or using the Cruciatus Curse on my little brother. (I'm a great big sister, right?)

Sorry I am contributing to theO being dead...I'm not posting or commenting much, I know, and I'm so sorry. There is just so much going on, and I mentioned that I need to do other things at this time...but you guys are still my friends.

As for the Premium thing...my dad checked with the bank, and his check STILL hasn't gone through. (What the hell? I'm pissed.)

And, yeah, that's pretty much it.

Iz alive!

Just thought I'd post to let you know I'm still alive, but busy. I still love you all! I just don't have as much time to be online.

Hey...

So I may not be on theO as often anymore. My friend's family is going through some bad stuff right now, and I want to be there for her. That may mean I'll be online less. Please just keep her and her family in your prayers. I would appreciate that.

Cupcake?

Where the eff is the cupcake? I am starting to worry that something went wrong with this premium thing...the website said that if you pay by check you may have to wait "a few days"...so, how many days is "a few days"?

Oh, by the way...I finally succumbed to peer pressure and now I have a Facebook.
