If You Value Your Life And My Friendship, Don’t Eat Corndogs.

Hey.

“Hey to who exactly Sarah?”

To whoever happens to be reading this, silly.

”Is anyone actually reading this?”

I have no idea. If someone WAS reading this, hopefully they’ll comment on this post and tell me that they are, and that I’m gorgeous and that one day I will discover a special talent of communicating with the dead, and I’ll find out that I have lunch with the Vancouver Canucks weekly, and we’re all BFF’s.

”You’re weird. I think I might be leaving now.”

I really don’t blame you…

……………WAIT! COME BACK! KEEP READING MY BLOG!

”I never left. You need to calm down.”

I know. I’m dramatic. But it keeps things interesting…….doesn’t it?

”Whatever, crazy girl. I’m just going to put in my earbuds, and listen to the soothing sounds of ABBA.”

Ew. ABBA. My mother listens to ABBA all the time. Personally, I prefer a bit more modern music.

”Such as…?”

Fall Out Boy, Hedley, The Latency, Ke$ha, 3OH!3, Linkin Park, Varsity Fanclub, Paramore. You get the idea. Rock and some raunchy R&B.

”That’s great, but I think that ABBA’s a lot more entertaining.”

Does that mean that you also think that Robert Pattinson is attractive?

”Not really.”

Are you sure?

”Yeah. Pretty sure. I don’t like men whose characters glitter in the sunlight. It makes me think of a pretty tragic childhood experience.”

Tragic childhood experience? Do tell.

”You really want to know?”

Yeah. Hence why I asked.

”Okay. Well one day when I was four, I was making a Valentine’s Day card for my brother, when my hyper active dog that looks like a handicapped squirrel ran over and tromped on the tube full of glitter, which squirted into my eyes, causing me to become colour blind. By the way, are you wearing a blue or purple shirt? I can’t really tell.”

So you’re telling me that you’re scared for life by glitter.

”Yes I am.”

*Facepalm* What does any of this have to do with Robert Pattinson?

“Oh yeah. One day….uhm….well…. actually it has nothing to do with him, he just hurts my eyes quite a bit.”

That’s completely understandable. I think we could be fairly good friends.

”But you sound crazy. I don’t think that my mom would approve of such a crazy sounding person.”

Because your “handicapped squirrel” that made you become colour blind story isn’t weird at all, right?

“Whatever. I’m going to go get a corndog, I’ll be right back.”

Ew. You eat corndogs?

”Of course, they’re the best invention in the world after Chuck Norris movies.”

Sorry. I can’t be friends with you after all. Corndogs are the spawn of Satan. See you later buddy.

First Post – Slice of My Life

Well. Here I am. At my own blog, typing away, thinking quickly about anything witty to say. This blog is strictly for school. I have to say that now.

Our first piece of homework from Ms. Bancroft was given about thirty minutes ago, and that homework was: start a blog, write your blog, and add the whole class to see it. So, I started my blog, am in the process of actually writing my blog, and I have no idea how to add the rest of the class to view my amazing work.

Where to start? Well, since we’re supposed to be writing about what’s important to us, I guess I can start with what SHOULD be most important to most people. Family.

My family is big, Italian, and loud. Christmas, Thanksgiving and birthdays are greatly celebrated with oodles of food, laughter and the embarrassment of me, Sarah. I think that sometimes we all take our families for granted, and we forget how lucky we actually are to be loved. I know that every time I fight with a family member, I feel bad after, and usually I end up apologizing.  To quote one of my best friends, “Apologizing does not always mean that you were wrong and the other person was right. It Just mean's you value your relationship more then your Ego.”

Something else that is very important to me is laughter. Laughter is not a material thing, it’s something that I think is special. I heard once that the more you laugh, the better you feel, the healthier you are. I even surround myself with people who make me laugh often! Who wouldn’t?!  Laughing is  something that I love to do, I hope everyone else does too :)

Another thing that I really value in others is honesty. I absolutely CANNOT stand it when I find out that someone has been lying to me. Not only does it make me quite mad, it also makes me sad, because I had most likely trusted the person that had lied to me.

I think that honesty is one of those things that effects us greatly. Although most of us don’t like to hear the truth if it’s a bad thing, especially when we know that the truth is…well…true, I think that we should all appreciate it, because in the end, it’s something special that should be valued.

Something else important to me is sports. I believe that participating in organized sports is a way to build good strong bonds with others, build leadership, and have fun. I myself play field hockey and soccer.  I have played field hockey for four years starting this season, and soccer for nine years. 

And to finish this entry, I value life. The smell of the world after it’s rained, the crunch of leaves underfoot, the warm feeling of a hug. Little, simple things that people sometimes overlook. Sometimes, those simple things are the most important things.

And to really finish it, I have two quotes of lyrics:

”It’s all about the little things, it’s all about discovering/ The way I pick you up when you are down/ It’s all about the little things/ How I miss the little things.”

- Varsity Fanclub

And my personal favourite,

“Living like life’s going out of style”

- Fall Out Boy

Thanks for the read :)

- Sarah <3
