I'm Sara, a 19 year old college student, attending university in New York, USA. My major is English, with a concentration in Publishing, and my minor is Fine Arts, specifically Graphic Design. I'm originally from Pennsylvania.

I have an addiction to good literature, chai tea lattes, and fabulous pairs of shoes. I'm a huge fan of baseball, the Beatles, and Van Gogh. My favorite authors are F. Scott Fitzgerald and Carol Goodman. I like movies that make me think and people that make me laugh. I want to travel the world and learn everything I can from the people I meet.

I hope to one day be an editor, and eventually have my own work published.

No Fences...No Reins

[title of Journal is a song lyric from No Reins by Rascal Flatts]

It's time for a journal update! :w00t:

For this past week, I've been a teacher's aide for a Creative Writing for Teens summer program. So far, we've done a lot of work with developing characters and random writing prompts. We've also researched pirate literature and had a scavenger hunt, which was really a neat experience. I have a lot of swashbuckling stories in my notebook now. ;) It'll be continuing next week, as well, so I'm looking forward to possibly getting more writing done. :thumbsup:

Speaking of writing, if you haven't seen my latest poll, I'd like to know if you'd like to collaborate with me. As an important note, I won't be responding to everyone right away; I don't want to do too many at once and then not follow through. So, don't worry- if you commented, I've seen it, and I'll be sure to note you when the time comes. :heart: I must say that I am definitely flattered at all of the positive responses, though. You guys are the best.

I am going to Massachusetts to stay with my roommate in a week. We've already purchased tickets to see the Broadway show RENT in Boston, so that will be a lot of fun. I think we may take a trip to Cape Cod, as well, and spend some time with another one of our college friends while we're in the city. I've never been to MA, so this will be a very interesting time.

For those of you who didn't know, I am an employee of an entertainment company, which includes artists who do face/body painting, balloon animals, and caricatures. Tomorrow, I am going to a pretty important gig BY MYSELF. I am face painting for the daughter of the Radio Broadcasting Manager of the Philadelphia Phillies. It's her birthday party, so I've been practicing some new designs to try on all the little girls. You can check some of them out below:

I'm crossing my fingers that everything goes well (and that I don't get lost!).

In other news, the Six Word Story Contest has ended and *Death-By-Romance and I are very pleased with the outcome! Thanks to everyone who participated. I'm going to be making a list of all the entries very soon and putting it in my journal, and the winners will most likely be announced sometime this weekend.

I bought my ticket to see Jason Mraz in Philly this summer, and it came in the mail already! :D I'm totally excited about this concert... He came to my university back in the fall for a free concert and was FANTASTIC, so hopefully this show will be just as good. I love him and his music. :heart:

As for the next few days, I have quite a list of things that I'd like to see accomplished (although they probably won't be...), so I need to find the motivation to get started!

How are all of you doing? :heart: :peace:

just because your mother calls you her kid doesn't mean she loves you.
If you don't get the GM spot in the next few years, I will hold a riot at $chix0r's or whoever's house until you are granted with it.

Just letting you know! :love:
That is the sweetest comment I've ever received. :heart: You honestly just made my day. Thank you so much for the compliment, Jude! :hug:
