That's my year at a glance. Can't wait! I can already tell it will be the most wonderful year ever!

material possessions destroy.

nic and i had a bet that if i didn't get on facebook or blogger for a week (except for business reasons) that he would take me on an awesome date, my choice.. and if i did get on, i would have to pay for the date and it'd be his choice.. but i realized that's kind of not quite fair.. especially because blogger is like my other journal... and tonight i kind of have something important to say...

(oh well. i lost anyways.)

It's sad how things, material possessions, take precedence over people, family members nonetheless. Tonight I've witnessed what affect the things of the world have on our souls. My parents bought the new iPod Nano for Dude for his birthday. As he was trying to get it working on his computer, it started freaking out and it's currently not working. He blamed it on T.rex because he suggested a site to get mp3 downloads, which more likely than not, contained viruses. Which.. It did... That's beside the point though. D said that T ruined his life. I've spent about a little over an hour trying to help D figure out how to get his Nano working because I have a 3rd gen. Nano. I was of no assistance... Still he continued to blame T for his problems.. He stomped off to his room, slammed the door, and yelled to himself. He didn't think I was listening. He was saying things like "Why does nothing ever work? I want to die!" He yelled a few other things, then decided to come back out of his shell, however, continued to say unpleasant comments. He called T names. Just now he stated, "Even on another computer, it doesn't work." Therefore, it wasn't T's fault because it's the Nano that is messed up in the first place. I asked, "Will you stop blaming T now?" He stomped off again and muttered a string of incoherent words and is back to arguing with T.

It just made me realize that just one stupid, little, no bigger than 3 inches long thing can make someone hate (or be upset with) another person. It honestly makes me want to cry. People can be so selfish and addicted to things that shouldn't even matter... Ever. iPods were invented so people could have their music portable and easier to carry around.. rather than the old Walkmans or 8-tracks. With the development of iPods and MP3 players, everyone has become more disconnected with people that really matter. Which is a reason I rarely listen to mine. I HATE technology. The only reason I like it is because of photography.

ONLY REASON.

wanted to say more. but i'm so frustrated with the way D is treating everyone, i can't think. off to go deliver brownies to my poor sick man. i'm sure that'll make him feel better. :P

adios.

negativity

do you ever feel like your the worst person in the world?

and everything you say... everything you do hurts someone's feelings...?

and you feel like this life is too long... and the day seriously feels like a lifetime.. because there's been so much going on...

good and bad...

happy and horrible.

like i said on facebook.... "i am pretty much the worst friend ever... don't try to be my friend. i will probably hurt your feelings somehow.."

 true.story..

i am not a very nice person.

i don't like people...

i become obsessed with someone's flaws and they go down on my scale of friendship...

just because of one little thing they do...

which is my major flaw... called "the jerk.factor"

i call that one guy "the Jerk" when really... it's me who is the horrible person.

no i'm not writing this so anyone will feel sorry for me.. because you shouldn't. by any means.

i'm writing it to help me find myself.

just discovering more about myself than i wanted to know.

 i want to be that girl that everyone thinks "oh, she's so nice. she's someone i want to be friends with"

but i feel like i just can't yet... until i search a little harder in my soul..

and figure out the things i really want.

i know that may seem like it has nothing to do with me being a hurtful person,

but it does to me. it feels like it has everything to do with it.

today is just full of

yuck.

i'm going to bed.

mozart, please don't bark so much tonight or i will have to find something to kill you with.

i don't want a repeat of last night's sleep routine.

adios.

p.s. don't comment saying "sarah, you're not a jerk" and stuff...

that's what people tend to do and it doesn't really help.

sorry... :[

also, you probably don't want these backgrounds either, obviously, since they have my name on them.

"i'm a mountain lion..." oh yeah? i'm a puma!

decided i'm saving up for some awesome puma shoes that i'm dying to have. :P

yes. literally dying... thanks to nic for showing me the finer side of athletic shoes... no... not thank you.. curses.

look at these bad boys.

well, i want the brown or all black ones like it. and they're made out of suede.. but still..

any of the slim ones that look like this would be sick.nast.love on my feet.

okay. so i've been saying dumb words lately.. and..

 i don't care! :]

hate me? you don't have to date me.

okay. that was lame.

looking at all of the athletic shoes has made me want to go running.

which is awesome... except when i told my pops i wanted to go running tonight...

he asked "can your mom and i walk with you?" srsly????

that's the whole point of RUNNING...

but it would be nice to get them off my tail and eating my dust! bahah!

 oh well. off to go eat. then run my little behind off.
