all my life i had been under the impression that i had seen edward scissorhands
until last night at one AM it came on tbs
and i discovered that i have been fooling myself.
i guess i just assumed i had seen it.
after all, every living breathing human i have come across
in all my sixteen years
has.
i must have convinced myself a decade ago that
because everyone knows edward scissorhands
i know edward scissorhands.
(wrong.)
last night at one AM
i experienced afresh the pale-faced flyaway-haired wonder that is johnny depp in a leather suit
and by three i knew that i was living a lie.
i wonder now what other of my experiences may have been figments of my overactive assumption.
did i never jump a rope ladder at age six
and break a wrist it took five casts to repair?
was i not baptised in fifth grade in front of god and two hundred devoted christians?
was i never kissed goodbye by my personal hero
before he moved several hundred miles out of reach?
maybe i have never knelt in wood or leaves
and put words on paper
in sentences and fragments, phrases, clauses,
currents of musings and narratives
of my experiences
any or all of which
may never have happened.

I Don't Know How to Turn Off My Brain
so i go to bed at 1130 and wonder for two hours or so. and then i get up again having decided, in my trying-to-sleep stupor, that i dont want to go to white station senior year. where i want to go is a school that will finish up my highschool education with a decent education, but that wont try to kill me with sleep deprivation. that didnt rhyme on purpose. i want a school where i dont have to worry about fifteen thousand asian boys beating me in class rank and knocking me out of fifteen thousand college scholarships that require me to be in the top ten. somewhere where i can focus. and i dont want district kids. but all schools have district kids.
that is, except private ones. and theyre expensive. but they have scholarships.
eileen was talking about going to boarding school. i thought that would be great. really. but eileen has access to far more money than i do.
i just need to get out of all this noise. theres too much distraction. i just need to focus and do well and have confidence in myself.
where can i do that?
i just dont know what to do with myself.

Lovely Weather We're Having, Eh?
the high tomorrow is 101. the high thursday is 102. oi vey! its been hot. today spencer and i went to breakfast and then to see a scanner darkly. but the studio wasnt open yet, and the three to four minutes we spent sitting on the bench outside was like DEATH. hot hot hot.
but it gives me good reason to stay inside on the computer. i mean reading the grapes of wrath. actually ive read about as much in grapes of wrath as the entire length of the awakening. and i started it... two days ago? three? no, two. anyway.
mouse is in town. eileen is home, but not for long. hattie is still in italy. baah. eileen is going to see amelia soon. scandaliz vandalistz + cory branan show is TOMORROW. i have been waiting for it for like, two point five months. approximately. its going to be the best of the best of the best. basically, yay.
in other news, i still have 500 pages of the grapes of wrath, angelas ashes + highlighting, about twelve essays, hiroshima, a two page report on hiroshima, and six lessons of precal to do this summer. YEEHAW. i guess ill get on that. or something.

I Know You, I Walked with You Once upon a Dream!
o, what a dream! what a cast! last night i dreamt something i have no idea. but it was insane. there were tubes and a fight and an epic battle and explosions and backstages and narrow passageways and cacti and boys and girls and maybe parachutes! but o, the cast! it was brilliant. this dream featured the largest expanse of excitement in sara history. check it out: bobby drake, rogue, morgan, spot, claire danes, richard from superman, the crazy booblady who lives in that swamp in pirates two, taylor grimes, and bruce willis or mel gibson. i dont remember which. anyway.
uhm, i have no idea what happened, heres all i remember. morgan and booblady were in the epic battle as well as a lot of other unimportant people, and it went down in this like huge stadium with stairs and obstacles in the arena, and everyones signature move was dragging people down the stairs. and i was watching it with i dont remember.
also, there was this huge system of tubes that hung above memphis or maybe the whole world, and mel/bruce and richard and bobby and rogue and i were stuck in some sort of dilemna involving them. is that even how you spell dilemna? anyway i think we eventually solved the dilemna and went to the end of my block which is a dead-end if you dont know, and the guy and the end of the block has cacti (in real life! whats his deal?) and there was claire danes really upset about something. but eventually whatever she was upset about was solved and apparently i hadnt seen her in a really long time but we were good friends and we did this weird hand clasp thing. i really dont know what was going on with that.
o, and back to the epic battle, there was a narrow passageway that led backstage of the battle (?) and i was going along it with spot really fast because we were running late and he had my hand and it was really exciting. the only dialogue i remember from the whole dream was, "would you ever kiss a girl you only met yesterday?" and i dont even remember the response or what happened next but i bet it was great. and so we got to the fight and i think booblady might have won. she would.
and i dont know where taylor grimes fits in to all of this, but he was definitely there.

Who Wants My Job?
so, the first week of august i am quitting my job as the community relations assistant at trezevant manor, a retirement community on highland. let me tell you a little about it.
i go in three weekdays per week (occasionally four) for about three hours in the afternoon. contrary to popular belief, i do not then proceed to tend to old sick people. i work in the part of trezevant that is just a retirement community. there are also an assisted living center and a health center, but i am not involved with those. so all the old people are well and sane, if a little senile. i spend most of my time doing minimum wage work like making copies, folding calendars, stuffing mailboxes, delivering messages, compiling folders and newsletters, organizing the office, etc etc. except instead of minimum wage i get $8 an hour. which is really nice, if you dont know. my boss is a good boss and a pretty nice and laidback lady named carol. shes the director of resident services.
there is also a significant amount of unpredictable downtime. some days are incredibly busy, and others i have had up to two hours to just do homework or read or whatever i need to do, which is pretty convenient since, you know, i go to highschool.
the weekdays are pretty flexible. i work generally monday wednesday thursday, but the boy who had the job before me worked tuesday wednesday thursday, and its pretty easy to switch up a day if you need to. the only day that is not flexible is saturday. this is, in my opinion, the only downside to the job. i have to work saturdays from 6 to about 915pm, calling bingo numbers in the dining room. i have to speak loudly and clearly into a pretty bad microphone. i dont really know why i have to be there at six because i dont do anything till seven. but i do. the bingo is not difficult or confusing, its just that its saturday nights. however, my brother works every weekend until 11, so i guess its a pretty good deal.
i get paid about $170 every other wednesday for about 12 hours per week. however, if i wanted to, i could ask carol for some more hours, come in more often, etc, and thereby make more money.
also, i have to find my own replacement starting beginning of august. so, if you want my job, please tell me, for serious, and i will get you an interview.
also, you have to pass a drug test.
thanks for your time,
-sara

Hallelujah, Grace Like Rain
you know, i think that is the same title as my post last year from when i got back from lakeshore. except i just looked it up and im wrong. it was "my heart and flesh cry out, for you the living god" from better is one day. but i did have another post called hallelujah, grace like rain. probably because that is my favorite song. much like lakeshore is my favorite place. ill try to tell you the happenings now while theyre fresh in my head.
counselors were melanie (you would) and shannon. sunday night, progressive games, ruby and i hid in the bathroom during the syrup game (by the way, ruby ROCKS). the jello dyed my foot blue. wtf. red. why did i just say blue? i meant red.
monday: low ropes. low ropes are always awful, but i think that i actually understand their purpose. no one in my cabin spoke AT ALL before low ropes, and afterwards we could at least interact enough to coexist. photo scavenger hunt i think was monday but may have been tuesday. it was lame. they put all of the lame cabin bonding activities at the beginning of the week. which is good, cause after tuesday lunch or so theyre over.
after that i dont know what days things happened on. they all run together. but ruby and i spent almost every moment together. and beaver was there a lot too. we did a lot of swimming and lazy rivering. we watched people play water polo. i got rrl sunburned and it hurt, but im better. we did crafts. danielle = craft lady = love. in advanced crafts i made a taco. i am amazing. and there was crazy time without truett which was an activity that was supposed to be karaoke with truett but neither of those things were there so ruby and i just sat on stacks of chairs and watched weird girl. shes SO weird.
also josh cookies brown led a creative writing activity which somehow managed to always be called writing fun because we love writers retreats. corn in beaver pajamas? we got crazy prompts from the writers block including writing a racist rant, which was insane. i also got through part of something about my pop cause camp started on fathers day, wrote a tidbit about the year 4000, and started something that rhymes, the prompt for which was a dylan thomas poem i think. (to clarify, the phrase "something that rhymes" in the previous sentence is a description, not a title, as ive already written something titled "something that rhymes")
i hear the dance was fun, but i hate the dance, so i watched charlie and the chocolate factory. woody came dressed as a girl, and he looked like kimmy gibler from full house, except on heroin. the talent show was about 10% talent and 10% funny and 80% ridiculous people trying to sing carrie underwood songs and failing. also, anne frank was rrl bad, and she thought she was rrl good. ew. there was no coffee, but i dont like coffee, so its okay.
there was a strange combo of worships. the one on tuesday (or was it monday?) at the boys side vesper ring was really great. it was mostly dark but near the end they turned on the light on the cross and it lit up the trees like crazy, but the lake was still totally black, and it was really pretty. that was the only time we sang grace like rain. we also had one at the waterfront which consisted largely of staff members heckling truett and troy being judas. weird. lakeshore was on crazypills this week. but in a good way.
friday morning we wrote letters to ourselves which theyre going to mail to us sometime in several months. i dont know why im even saying this, because its given, but at worship friday night everyone cried. it wasnt even a phenomenally moving worship. we prayed, we read scripture, we sang. but on friday night everyone just wants SO MUCH not to have to go home, and they know they have to. so naturally, i got danielles shirt real snotty, just like last year. i love her. and ruby.
today shannon, chelsey, christin, ruby and i got up at 430 to watch a sunrise that never came because of big dark clouds. at 615 we gave up and went back to the cabin. slept about another hour and got up for breakfast, of which i ate little cause i was mad tired. cleaned up the cabins, did evaluations, cookies left, and we went to the tabby for final worship which included rrlpretty and a zombie movie. there was also the fairly traditional open floor time, which was nice, and then we all went back up the hill for lots of hugging and goodbyes. my mom was rrl late but it was okay, i didnt want to leave. she drove me down to the "water rec center" (that is, the pool) and i planned to do a mad search of the area for danielle who was down there with k-2 day, but just when i was dashing in to find her she was by the gate and it was good, cause i was going to be rrl sad if i couldnt say gbye. so i said gbye and had a big hug and got all wet cause she was all wet, and i left. mom and i got milkshakes on the way home, and i slept in the car, which i usually cant do.
and now im home and its late and ive written all of this so i dont forget it because what? thats right. lakeshore is my favorite place in the world.

bobby drake etc etc
i have been blogging a lot, but maybe i have a lot to remember. after all, it is summer.
so last night (before the last post actually) i went and saw x3 with morgan and eileen and ruby. i was supposed to see it with spencer but i just coudnt because, as i told him, "if bobby dies ill cry and if youre there itll be embarrassing." i dont think he thought that was a good reason, but o well.
later on in the night, ie, when i was sleeping, in addition to dreaming N-Mol was in my AP US class and i couldnt remember if it was the first day of school or the last day and morgan had dyed her hair awful badbleach orangey blonde and we all went to a prep school with tiny alligators in all the bathrooms, i also briefly dreamt about bobby drake AKA iceman AKA shawn ashmore AKA he played jake on the animorphs tv show that was cancelled second season. he was sitting on top of some old car with some girl who was clearly not rogue but it was understood that she was, and they were having a tiff, as douggie would say, about something or other. (the first time i wrote "about" just then i wrote "abotut" instead.) i couldnt really hear them so i dont know what it was about. their talking was all jumbly. but a couple of times it stopped being quiet and jumbly and turned into loud and jumbly and they were yelling, and a lot of times they almost made up and out but something tiffed them again. it was really weird and tense and lengthy.
okay, so this doesnt really matter if youre not me, but if you are me, you understand because you know that shawn ashmore was my first ever celebrity crush/imaginary boyfriend. and i dont know where im going with this, but mostly its to say that i love that kid and he makes me all happy inside. and by kid i mean 26-year-old. but in animorphs he was 18 and 20 in x1 and so on.
o, and another thing.
hes a twin.
COOL.

read ch32sec4wow that section was long and boring.- make some progress on the exam review
finish translating whatever it is we have to translate in latingo to novusget some work done on those algebra worksheets which i have started but i have yet to finish any of themi finished one of them. thats some work done.get the preAP precal contract signed
