So, I found the time to write about 1,000 words more of InVincible last night, but that's been the first time I've been able to write in a while.
Tonight, I'm leavng for Vancouver and won't be back for about two weeks. I'll miss all you guys! I promise to get more on track with my blogging when I get back, and to get back to my writing too.
On another note, Empyrean has finally been returned by my teacher! I can't wait until I can edit it, but the steps after that? It's terrifyingly exciting... I'm not sure how to feel.
Oh, I just finished reading all of the "If I Told You I Loved You Than I'd Have To Kill You" series - really, really, really good books if anyone wants to read them. "City Of Bones" is also a really, really good book - slightly more mature and less romancy in parts, but I like them both the same, lol. I guess my choice in books (and movies!) depends on how I feel - sometimes I want Eragony guyish war, and then sometimes the really sweet, lovey stuff is good (OK, this is just too cute to not mention: in "If I Told You I Loved You Than I'd Have To Kill You" then Ben and Cammie kiss in a gezeebo thing! Isn't that really sweet? I think so). Like, right now, I'm planning a scene in InVincible to happen in Ottawa, with the Parliment buildings - simply, Vince jumps out of a plane, is shot at from his brother who is hiding in the Peace Tower, and then hides in a parking garage (but is caught because this big oafish dude who is forcing his brother to be evil reads the sign "Up Here" and finds Vince).
Well, I'll be off, thanks for reading! Seriously, I have the awesomest bloggy readers ever. I feel so special!

Not Back
I'm not exactly "back" yet. For me, "back" means that I have something useful to post - like an excerpt or new story development. So far, with my computer resting in peace, and my sister (and a little bit me) becoming facebook-maniacs and Sims 3-obsessed, I haven't had much time to write.
However, I am back from my trip to Ottawa and Montreal. It was amazing. For sake of my friends privacy, I don't think I'll explain everything in detail - just that it was hilarious and super-fun, and I have amazing friends. It was the best vacation in my life! (So far - going to Vancouver next Sunday for 10 days with my family, which will be amazing too.. I wonder how it will compare?)
I will be doing a Day-In-Pictures sometime soon - it just wasn't possible during my school trip.
Anyways, have an amazing last few days of school (for those of you who aren't already out) and emjoy the ultra-warm weather while it lasts (for those of you getting it). I'll be here, trying to find a time to type.
S a r a h
P.S. I'll upload a few pics of grad on Wednesday - ahhh!

The Best Is Yet To Come - But Graduation CAN'T Be It
I hope. Because if the best has already passed, it wasn't too great. And if the best is happening now, it's far too busy for me. I have my first soccer game of the season (against my friends!) just after lunch, soccer photo's AFTER (when I'm all sweaty and sunburned), then a birthday party at three. On Sunday, I have to buy the last few things for my Ottawa trip, and pack, pack, pack. Maybe a dinner at Cora's might be squeezed in. Then in Ottawa, I have a gazillion things to do. Once I'm back, it's back to shopping for teacher-gifts and Graduation things - which, by the way, are totally freaking me out. I don't even know what to do with my hair!
This is why Graduation can't be the best:
1) I'm going to wear a dress. Ahh.
2) I need earrings that actually coordinate. Uh-oh.
3) There'll be TONS of Fakers who look like they're straight out of magazines. Fun.
4) Everyone will be obsessed with the Magazine Fakers. Including PERSON. Greeeaaaat.
5) I just might have to wear make-up. Which will make me feel like a Faker, but no one will act like I'm one, so it's a no-win any way situation. Plus foundation makes me feel clastrophobic. Beep.
6) The wind will blow in all the wrong directions - trust me. The only other time I wore a dress, it did. AND plus, my bangs will be blown to the wrong side as well, trust me.
7) This will all happen in the same gym I'll be sitting in the next morning. Professional.
Sounds like fun, right?
Oh god.
But I'm NOT going to think about that. No, I'm going to think about the amazing trips to Ottawa and Vancouver I have, and other fun stuff.
Like writing! InVincible is the best thing I've written yet.. and I've just finished "If I Told You I Loved You Than I'd Have To Kill You" - amazing book. Some guys could learn from the sweetness of Josh. But now I finished it in 12 hours flat, with no chance to get the next one any time soon.
I'm sorry, but soccer stuff calls - more updates later, I promise.

A Much-Needed Post
This, is an explanation. Although I've been on and commenting and such, lately, my life has been in turmoil.
Let's start out with the normal stuff. For one, I've been dealing with consistantly worse family fights. Plus the fact that a lot of people have started slacking off because it's the end of the year, leaving all the work to the helpful, nice people who actually still care. Yeah, that's me. But I'm not just wasting all my time helping other people - my own stuff is suffering because the other people seem to know just exactly how to get me into something I don't want to or have time to do. Then, at the end of the day, I look back and realize how little of my stuff I've done... and how much of others. (Of course, everyone fake-apologizes when I confront them - but 4 minutes laters asks me to do another thing!) It's aggravating.
Another thing, is how my computer is broken!
How will me life go on? I'm about to loose everything - I'm not even sure if I'll be able to recover everything at this point - Empyrean, The Car Chase, Invincible, all my other schoolwork, writing, thoughts, settings, pictures.... sure, I have a few backups, but nothing recent, and nothing to ensure my computer will ever be the same.
I feel lost. This computer, my sister's, makes me dizzy. My mom's doesn't have internet. Mine, the motherboard is gone. Last time that happened, the memory was never recoverable.
So, I'm sorry if I haven't been one - these are troubling times.
On another note, Invincible looks like heaven right now. Sadly, three major projects need work on, so it's not a write-able option. Oh, how I want to write it! Wings, Vince (Jamie Pellar!) and everyone... to me, that seems better than chocolate.
This is torture.
At least I'll have a break... in Ottowa/Montreal next week. (From Monday to Friday, with 50 other grade 8's from my school - mostly friends, too, luckily). But wait - no writing, again.
I feel obsessed.. but I need a new computer. (Whenever I look at this screen, I feel like I'm falling into an abyss). Laptop, desktop, Mac, PC, something!
Sincerely the writing-deprived, sleep-deprived, over-worked, under-payed (0$) student,
S a r a h
P.S. I hope this explains my absense, and continued absense. I feel horrible.

Birthday + Nothing
So, my birthday party worked out to be super fun... the only bad thing was one of my dog-wary friends being chased around by my hyper puppy, Odie. But besides that, it was all fun and totally fine!
I got about 300$ cash and lots and lots of clothes and girly stuff. Which is wierd, because I don't really like girly stuff... but oh well, the stuff I got was lipgloss and hand cream - pretty normal, not super extravagantly wierd. Also, I got an iHome, which I've wanted for a while - but the suckish thing is that I want a different one... and my parents accidentally bought the one of the shuffle, and I have a 2nd generation nano. Hopefully it's exchangable... OH! I also got chocolate :D mmm. And my entire room is lined with awesome cards. So far, it's been pretty good.
What isn't good is the fact that school makes me depressed - well, tired and sad about the whole looks + personality thing, which I really don't feel too great about. That's mainly because people at school are really amazing, namely people who you guyzes (my own word!) don't know.. so I won't mention. It's kinda a bad way to end your birthday.. but my birthday isn't over yet. I still haven't been able to open all my family gifts because of work and school and soccer. I'm opening them later tonight about about 8 or 9 - that's after my first meeting for soccer - and the first time I'm on NONE of my friends teams! It's gunna be scary - I'm almost too chicken to go. But it's not like I can miss the first day - or the uniforms. The last time I missed the uniforms I got #14... which was an XXL and was seriously 2x as wide as I am. Not nice.
Also, I'm looking for any movie advices... I have an Empire Theaters giftcard to spend! :D

P.S. It's also my cat's birthday today... happy birthday to him!
