Fancy Seeing You Here!

Okay, I've done this like...118347234 times. I've customized a really cool blog, brainstormed blog titles, written really promising first posts...and then I never think about it again.

So why am I doing it again? I'm really not sure. I don't know if I will stick to writing this blog, or if I will simply desert it and move on to another one a few months later.  But my argument as to why I should keep a regular blog is this: how will my writing ever improve if no one is allowed to read it?

I've never had a problem with expressing my opinion about anything, but when it comes to my poetry and my) prose, I'm a little more private. I also tend to write news articles and columns and commentaries that never see the outside of my little green notebook. I don't do it because I want to be a reporter or because I consider myself to be the next George Orwell. I won't ever be either. I do it because sometimes I think I see the world differently than those around me. I don't view the world through a rose-colored glass, but instead I think it's a yellow-colored glass. Bright, loud, cheery, and sometimes sad. (Have you ever seen a single yellow wildflower in a field? It's lonely, and it has no one to cheer up. It's one of the saddest sights in the world.) Yellow has the ability to offend people--like my beloved yellow nail polish that a friend has described as "a fungus"--and yellow has the ability to make people smile. Yellow can actually represent every different mood in the world, if you use your imagination, unlike "rose," which only represents the good.

But enough with color analysis. Let me introduce myself, in case you've stumbled upon this little blog and are still interested after all of that...

My name is Sarah.

I am a senior in high school.

I am at peace with the past, bored with the present, and terrified of the future.

My current list of career possibilities includes:
-high school English or Creative Writing teacher
-graphic designer
-photographer

But I will be writing novels and poetry no matter what I do.

I am obsessed with the idea of being a wife and mother, but I will never, ever be a Stepford or a Proverbs 31 woman.

I feel most confident when I'm wearing high heels and lipstick.

I am very idealistic when it comes to politics, but I figure I'll be an "Independent" when I'm able to vote.

I am extremely clumsy, and my foot apparently likes to be in my mouth.

I am a hopeless romantic.

I am a living testimony to the phrase, "You don't know what you've got 'til it's gone."

Feel free to leave a comment and introduce yourself, friend.
