questions one might ask jesus, if he wasn't quite jesus just a cool guy
1. when does a mullet stop being a mullet and start just being a regular haircut? I mean do bangs count as "business in the front"? I mean some might argue that Jesus himself, a fashion trend-setter of his time, sported a mullet?
2. what is the proper way to deal with sweaty hands when holding hands with people during the Our Father at mass?
a) just deal with it?
b) remove sweaty hand from the clutch of your prayer buddy, wipe of and
replace the now dry hand into the holding hands position?
c) remove sweaty hand, wipe off and then resume regular hand position (solo
prayer position)?
3. should we pay more attention to our dreams? for instance, if a small leprechaun told me that i should become a salsa dancer in a dream of mine where i was dressing like snow white in a castle is classmates of mine, should i?
I think the answer jesus would give would be--follow your heart. what a smart man.

are you a people person?
this is question number 4 on bead shop applications. my answer: well, used to be! some of the crazies that come in are really starting to get to me. yesterday, someone asked me if i could make her four necklaces while she and her daughter left to go to a birthday party and then come pick them up in an hour or two. as if i'm her cabana boy who just meets her needs at a moments notice! i say, NO! and politely explain how the system works, but she refuses and pushes her 146 inches of gold chain and random assortment of charms towards me wiggling her eyebrows and pleads, "we just need to go to this party to say goodbye to a friend who's leaving the country this afternoon and the necklaces need to be ready to give to her by the time she leaves for the airport at 5" so, i cave. why am i such a weak sap?
i also saw nacho libre with allison in the recent past. while it was not up to napoleon's par, it was fairly delightful. i particularly delighted in the variety of accents that Jack Black combined in his role. best part of the movie hands down, when nacho truly finds his inner eagle powers and flies toward his wrestling opponent. it almost rivaled the credits of 40-year-old virgin...
p.s. look out for my cruising the streets of uptown on my flippin' sweet bike (complete with a bike bell!!)

mary we crown thee with blossoms today
when i was younger, the day of may crowning where one lucky girl is selected to very slowly lower a tiny wreath of flowers onto the head of a statue of mary, i would go home and practice the painstaking ceremony. however, i was never allowed to crown mary. regardless, i would go home and sing the mary songs to myself while i created my own crown for the petite statue of mary in my backyard garden. i would then perform my own may crowning, against the desperate attempts of my school to hold me back from my true calling.
so, on the eve of my belated debut in the high school may crowning ceremony as a reader (pish-a), i just want to say one thing. what the hell is wrong with the yearbook staff this year? i'm going to submit pages to the yearbook company this afternoon. and as i'm looking through some of the pages, which were "checked" by our yearbook moderator, i find numerous BLATANT errors. The following list is an example of the horrendous errors i found, to my dismay: improperly aligned text, too much white space, gramatically incorrect captions, misspelled words, blurry pictures, and other such atrocities. when mr. parten came into the yearbook room to tell me that the building was closing, he found me curled up in a ball surrounded by previous, completed yearbooks with beautiful, long, gramatically-correct captions whimpering, "they're all against me" while i closed my eyes dreaming of the day when i am free from the petty constraints of the Souvenons-Nous.

skiing for beginners
Hi, my name is Sarah. And I don't know what the hell I'm doing. I've never skied before. And, rather than take skiing lessons like an normal visitor to the Copper Mountain Ski Resort, Meg and I decided that she would simply teach me how to ski. (Meg has only skied 3 times before.)
1. Do not, I repeat do not, wear low rise anything to ski. It will end up badly. Either you will flash the world the whole time you are skiing or you will have snow forcibly inserted into your adorable low rise pants when you inevitably fall. And snow being shoved into your pants is not fun. sometimes it even leaves painful scars that keep the constant stinging pain company on your rear end.
2. learn how to stop and turn properly before advancing onto actual mountain runs. if you exit the bunny slope stage without fully mastering the stopping and turning techniques, you will end up doing one of the following:
a) running into things such as trees, large piles of snow, or people (which,
surprisingly is the most embarrasing and often hardest to escape from)
b) flying down the mountain at top-notch speeds with shaking legs.
c) wipe out. completely. this usually accompanies options a and b but is
also a choice on its own. as a general rule, the faster you are going,
the more dramatically you wipe out.
3. make sure that you know how to properly mount and dismount the ski lift because it is quite embarrasing when the operators of the ski lift must stop the ski lift to wait for you to shimmy over to the correct spot or when you are simply pushed off the lift and are forced to do an impressive squatting ski move until you reach your ski companion onto which you latch yourself onto thus making both of you topple over.
well, that's all the advice that i have for now. happy skiing!

woe is me
alas, uva and georgetown REJECTED me. the sad thing is that i actually didn't see it coming. whoops. now i must choose between the following: lsu, tulane, uga and university of rochester. p.s. rochester is freakishly cold and i'm used to like new orleans winters where the lows range from 40-60 degrees. not 30 below. however, i'm pretty psyched about going to colorado springs. i hope i can ski while i'm there! maybe that will change my mind about how much i like the cold...
so i had to make this lamp for my physics class, right? i don't know what kind of brain fart i had to result in the design i created for this tomato spice creation that is now sitting atop mr. collins' counter. i decided that i should use tin cans for this project, despite my enormous hands that couldn't really fit inside the cans to make the necessary adjustments and connections. this resulted in my mutated hands resulting from my overzealous attempts to use guerilla glue (which, according to the bottle is "the strongest glue on planet earth"). now i can't really feel anything with my hands and the red paint that i painted my stupid lamp is now staining the glue. boo on physics. and electricity. and glue.

words of wisdom
someone once quietly uttered these words into my ear:
fire.
beast.
excellent.
perhaps you should live your life according to his insightful murmurings.
