I googled, and Google responded with quotes from Peanuts. Anyone who knows me knows I am a sucker for quotes. And peanuts. And Peanuts. 

Are you upset little friend? Have you been lying awake worrying? Well, don't worry...I'm here. The flood waters will recede, the famine will end, the sun will shine tomorrow, and I will always be here to take care of you. -Charlie Brown to Snoopy

Why can't we get all the people together in the world that we really like and then just stay together? I guess that wouldn't work. Someone would leave. Someone always leaves. Then we would have to say good-bye. I hate good-byes. I know what I need. I need more hellos.-Also from Peanuts

That I haven't been blogging about all of the things I have learned for fear of not being able to go through them all and choose only 7 a week.*

*The above statement is false. I have been learning things, as one learns things all of the time. I have simply been too busy lazy to actually keep track of them like I should in order to maintain this blog.

Instead of keeping track of learn-y things, I have been a busy bee in terms of:
1. Reading awesome books. The Angel's Game by Carlos Ruiz Zafon and Orange is the New Black by Piper Kerman. I highly recommend both for very different reasons. The first is a gothic thriller set in Barcelona. The second is a memoir about a woman's year in a federal prison camp. Go buy them, download them, or check them out from the library. They are wonderful.
2. Traveling to El Paso to meet members of the boyfriend's family and see where he grew up. I went sand sledding. It was wonderful. I think that was the first week my hands have been warm since November.
3. Toying with the idea of making a cooking blog to keep track of the adventures in the kitchen. This is mostly in response to my new rule of trying out at least 1 new recipe and/or perfecting one recent attempt at a new recipe a week.
4. Cleaning in preparation for the arrivals of several house guests. My most recent college roommate visited this past weekend, the roommate from before her and her boyfriend will visit this weekend, and my parents (dramatic music) will visit the weekend of Easter. Fun times have been and will continue to be had.
5. Trying to plan Easter. I have never done a family holiday before. I might hide under a blanket until it is over.
6. Getting pinned by the boy. Ain't he sweet?

Anyway, there are the excuses. Enjoy.

1. When sending resumes and cover letters via e-mail it is best to send them both as an attachment with a short and sweet message in the e-mail itself.  (applying for jobs is hard)
2. I can make up my own recipes rather than just using someone else's. I made tequila-jalapeno baked tilapia for fish tacos. It turned out pretty well. I am a culinary genius.
3. Google Chrome's spell check doesn't recognize tilapia as being properly spelled. I actually second-guessed myself and googled it to make sure it was correct (it is.)
4. Before a new doge of Venice could be selected he had to be presented to the public accompanying the phrase "This is your doge, if it pleases you" despite the fact that the new doge was selected by an exclusive group mostly comprised of noble families. The things you learn from Assassin's Creed 2.
5. Snapple Fact #21: Almonds are part of the peach family.
6. Cardigan Welsh Corgis have tales, whereas Pembroke Welsh Corgis do not. 
7. Stanford had a list of classes recommended for athletes to "accommodate their demanding schedules." Translation: they actually distributed a list of easy classes to boost athletes' GPAs. Respect points lost: 50. 

This was my wikifire page, word for word, character for character. My life was so different Freshman and Sophomore years of college when the majority of this was written. I decided it was time for its run to come to an end. 

Sara is beautiful. She is an international relations major, economics minor that is very nice. She wears skirts when it is warm out because they are comfortable, not because she cares about what she looks like.

Her hair also smells really nice all the time. If you get a chance, you should smell it. It is also very soft and silky. The ideal situation would be to pet her hair and get to smell it. Good luck with your mission.
Sara has no idea who wrote the above comment and is kind of creeped out at the thought of random people petting/smelling her hair. She asks you to please refrain from such activity, or at least ask permission before doing so.

Sara was born in [[Las Vegas]] and she will defend the little honor the city has left until her death.  She enjoys long walks in the parks and quite often she is confused with men.

One of her favorite pastimes is framing [[Daniel Dyrda]] for things.  This is facilitated by her passing imitation of his handwriting.

Sara is a member of [[German Club]] and [[ATP]]. She also has a radio show on [[WVKC]] with a partner under an assumed identity ([[Eleanor Rigby]]).

==The Many Noises of Sara==
Sometimes when she wakes up she makes wookie noises, that don't actually sound like wookies. She can play a myriad of instruments, including a recently acquired bass guitar.

Sara also has a variety of noises that indicate when she is hungry, tired, confused, etc. Perhaps one day there will be a media file that documents the sounds Sara makes in her natural habitat while in one of these situations.

== Procrastination Almost Turned Into A Sport ==
Taking [[procrastination]] to a new level is something Sara is very adamant about.  A two-page paper can take her weeks to write.  This accomplishment is only thanks to [[Facebook]], [[Wikifire]], [[Myspace]], [[AIM]], and various comics online.  However, procrastinating in this rare art form is not taken too far, as her missing a deadline is a very rare occurrence.

Another thing that lends to Sara's procrastinatory efforts are the multiple video game consoles in the living room of Naked House.  With an NES, Super NES, and an N64 all stocked with a variety of games how can one be expected to do homework?

==Claim to Fame==

On May 26, 2007, Sara, as well as friends [[Tasha Coryell]] and [[Daniel Dyrda]] were declared "cool people" on [[Bill Mayeroff]]'s [[WVKC]] radio show [[Bill's Beatles Bonanza]]. [[Bill Mayeroff|Bill]] revoked the title on Oct. 8, 2007 because Sara isn't proud of something she should be. The others got to keep their titles.

But Bill restored Sara's title at 10:48 p.m. Central time on Oct. 24, 2007. He decided he did not want to have to deal with the paperwork associated with revoking a status like that.

1. Speed bumps are also referred to as "sleeping policemen." I found this while trying to figure out what you call the little circular or rectangular reflector things they put on the roads in Las Vegas (I'm sure they use them elsewhere, but Vegas is just where I remember from when I was a child) that were kind of bumpy, but never figured out what those are actually called. I shall continue to call them do-hickeys. If you know what they are called, please tell me.

Self-
Just know that having a fractured wrist and trying to chisel out a car shaped object from what Snowmageddon '11 left you behind is not a very good experience. In the future, choose one of the following options:
1. Screw the wrist brace and put on gloves right off the bat. The lack of frostbite will be worth it.
2. Get a garage. Steal a garage, if you have to. Just get one.
3. Don't drive anywhere. Leave your car parked for the rest of winter. It will thaw by June or so.
4. Call everyone and just tell them you are dead so you don't have to go anywhere.
Self, I hope you learned something from this little heart-to-heart.
Sincerely,
You. I mean, me. (?)

Me: I want to make cinnamon rolls.
Penny: Cinnamon rolls are quite tasty.
Me: Mmhmm. I need to invest in a rolling pin, though.
Penny: They are handy things.
Me: For baking and use as a blunt object should zombies attack and you have not yet obtained a shotgun.
Penny: Of course.

This is an example of why we are friends.
