My name is Sarah and I live in Sacramento California, the golden state. I have dyed burgundy hair and blue eyes with a pale complexion.
My picture is in my portfolio, if you want to check it out.
I enjoy reading, writing, photography, fencing, amongst other things. I hope to go to UC Berkeley, and graduate with my doctorate and then move to New Orleans to pursue my career. I'm a journalist (editor on the local paper) and it takes up quite a bit of my time.
I love the ocean and sunsets along with antique books and hiking through the nearby forests. I actively seek out photography opportunities and become almost single minded when engaged in it. I find history very interesting and I am studying French and relearning German. I find gothic arcitechture and statuary beautiful and I tend to utilize them as my subjects in photographs. I'm a cat person and my favorite city of all time is San Francisco, followed closely by New Orleans. My favorite food is sushi and my favorite drink is a daquiri. I simply love summer rain.
I utterly loathe ignorance and mathematics. I can cope with crowds, but if I can, I avoid them at all costs. I don't like it when people beat around the bush and avoid the issue with me. I hate the cold and everything to do with it.
I'm going to spare you the melodrama of the typical "my life sucks and I hate the world and I want to kill myself because I can't stand life anymore." Some people ::looks pointedly at the comments:: say I'm too happy for this site, but honestly, can we please grow up and stop stereotyping? I've had my fair share of problems, but I don't feel the need to broadcast them to everyone on this site, thank you.
If you want to talk to me on messenger, I have a yahoo account. I'm las_de_vivre so talk to me sometime.
So, there I am. Nothing more, nothing less.
Now, here is one of my favorite poems that was written by Edward Gorey:
"A is for Amy who fell down the stairs,
B is for Basil assaulted by bears,
C is for Clara who wasted away,
D is for Desmond thrown out of a sleigh,
E is for Ernest who choked on a peach,
F is for Fannie sucked dry by a leech,
G is for George smothered under a rug,
H is for Hector done in by a thug,
I is for Ida who drowned in a lake,
J is for James who took lye by mistake,
K is for Kate who was struck with an axe,
L is for Leo who swallowed some tacks,
M is for Maud who was swept out to sea,
N is for Neville who died of ennui,
O is for Olive run through with an awl,
P is for Prue trampled flat in a brawl,
Q is for Quentin who sank in a mire,
R is for Rhonda consumed by a fire,
S is for Susan who perished of fits,
T is for Titus who flew into bits,
U is for Una who slipped down a drain,
V is for Victor squashed under a train,
W is for Winnie embedded in ice,
X is for Xerxes devoured by mice,
Y is for Yorick whose head was knocked in,
Z is for Zillah who drank too much gin."
Take the quiz:
Which Political Assassin are you?
Gavrilo Princip
You are Gavrilo Princip (pronounced PREENT-seep), the young man who shot Archduke Franz Ferdinand, the heir to the Austo-Hungarian throne, which triggered World War One! You were part of a Serbian nationalist group called the Black Hand that wanted to free Bosnia from the monarchy. You were eventually caught and sent to prison, where you died of Tuberculosis, but you hold the title of starting one of the worst wars in European history with two shots of a gun. What an achievement!

Brian is writing a slogan to a wall, oblivious to the Roman patrol approaching from behind. The slogan is "ROMANES EUNT DOMUS".
Centurion: What's this thing? "ROMANES EUNT DOMUS"? "People called Romanes they go the house"?
Brian: It, it says "Romans go home".
Centurion: No it doesn't. What's Latin for "Roman"?
Brian: (hesitates)
Centurion: Come on, come on!
Brian: (uncertain) "ROMANUS".
Centurion: Goes like?
Brian: "-ANUS".

Brian: Plural, plural! "ITE".
Centurion: (strikes over "EUNT" and paints "ITE" to the wall) (satisfied) "I-TE". "DOMUS"? Nominative? "Go home", this is motion towards, isn't it, boy?
Brian: (very anxious) Dative?
Centurion:(draws his sword and holds it to Brian's throat)
Brian: Ahh! No, ablative, ablative, sir. No, the, accusative, accusative, ah, DOMUM, sir.
Centurion:Except that "DOMUS" takes the ...?
Brian: ... the locative, sir!

Centurion: Now write it down a hundred times.
Brian: Yes sir, thank you sir, hail Caesar, sir.
Centurion: (salutes) Hail Caesar. If it's not done by sunrise, I'll cut your balls off.
Brian: (very reliefed) Oh thank you sir, thank you sir, hail Caesar and everything, sir! |
