Wine
I've grown to like wine. Red, specifically. This a new thing, and a big deal. A very big deal. I've been afraid to talk about what I do for a living for a while. I guess I thought people cared about that sort of thing. That's pretty silly; nobody cares. I work for a courthouse. I work in the civil division of a courthouse. I have a government job, where I work under high stress and for long hours. I've been doing this for a year and a half. I don't love it, but I do like it. I make decent money and I get awesome benefits. I am now a part of what we call "the man." But I have realized what I want to do with my life, which is a big deal. This brings me to something I find rather humorous. I graduated this weekend from college and I didn't know it. I think I wrote some time a year or so ago that I was able to graduate, but in true Sarah fashion, I did not apply for graduation, nor did I pay the fees to do so. I just didn't care. So around January, my mother gave me a check and begged me to apply for graduation. So I did it when I had a day off. Weeks passed, and I didn't hear anything from the school. Not a letter, not a call. At this point, I assumed nothing would come of the deposited money. That brings me to this week. Sunday morning, I got a call from my mother. My name was in the paper as a graduate of this local college. Am I proud? Slightly, but not terribly. I laughed my ass off, but I just didn't care. Ok, so now I care. I thought about it, and this means I have my foot in the door to go back to school. I am going to be an attorney for Legal Aid. I will not make a fortune, but I do know there is a need for people who care about justice being blind, and not just a tool for the wealthy parties. I have nothing else to report, but I have heard that a lot of good things are happening to people I know, and I congratulate them. Yada, yada, yada... -Sarah (Who has had a bit too much of the thing she now likes) Current Mood:  chipper | | Sunday, May 3rd, 2009 | | 12:02 am |

So we closed on our house today. It went surprisingly well--everything (paperwork and money exchange) done in less than an hour. I was really worried, but I'm marrying the smartest man alive. And he's marrying the girl with all the friends and family with sweet hook-ups. We got everything we wanted, the house is completed and really nice. It's a good time to be alive.

Yep, good luck ruling these informed citizens... I do give credit to the woman interviewed who admitted at the end that she wasn't nearly as informed as she thought she was. Blah. It doesn't matter. I didn't vote for McCain either. | | Tuesday, November 18th, 2008 | | 8:12 pm |
Coy and I are hoping to go to this next year for our honeymoon...
I love this guy. Yeah, it's a little corny at times, but it rings true regardless. Did I mention Coy and I went to Dragoncon this year? Yeah. And for the science. (We met a lot of the people this guy mentions. ^ (Phil Plait, the Skeptic's Guide, and James Randi) | | Wednesday, November 5th, 2008 | | 5:33 pm |
Facebook illustrates my family's disagreements in reference to politics...
My sister: Christine is woo hoo! 1:00amMy brother: Jacob is DON'T VOTE IF YOU ARE UNINFORMED. 2:53pm
Jacob is I can't believe the Senate race is even close. You may or may not like Saxby, but Jim Martin is probably the worst candidate Dems could have put out there. 6:25pm
Jacob is I'll remember the 5th of November. 10:12am
Jacob is seriously, Georgia? Jim Martin forced a runoff...I thought you people wanted tax cuts? 3:55pmOn the Powell's side: My cousin Wesley: Wesley is ron paul 2012, hope for america. 11:16pm
Wesley is remember remember the 5th of november. 4:11pmMy cousin Michele: Michele is YES! YES! YES! YES! YES! YES! YES! My faith in this country is restored. 11:18pmMy aunt Jayne: Jayne just did her part to make history! 12:19pmGrandpa hasn't said anything; Mom hasn't said anything... but I know they're both pretty disappointed. On the Hawkins' side:My cousin Katie: Katie is considering a move to austrailia! 10:49pmKatie is not happy about all this, but is proud of the progress this nation has made!!! 1:47pmMy second cousin, Taylor: Taylor NOOOOOO WERE GONNA DIE!!!!! 10:12pmTaylor The outside of the White House looks like a Lil Wayne concert. (Ehhh... I don't agree...) Me: Sarah is smart enough to know her candidate stands zero chance of winning, but she just hopes enough Libertarians voted their conscience to make a wave or two... 6:32pm My fiancé: Lewis voted his values, not for more taxes and less freedom. 6:36pm
Lewis hopes people realize that "change we can believe in" was mostly marketing and true change comes from third parties, not republicrats. Welcome to the status quo. 1:41pmAaaand my (Powell relation) cousin in middle school, Reggie: Reggie is waiting for elections to b over. 2:28pm
Reggie is not very happy we have skool 2morrow!! 6:11pm I'm going to have to side with Reggie on this one. | | Sunday, October 12th, 2008 | | 9:33 pm |

It never fails to confuse me...
Insulting people one doesn't know for the benefit of someone who is hurt... on what planet does that equal endearment and/or camaraderie? People never change and I'm calling it. | | Wednesday, August 6th, 2008 | | 9:12 pm |

To be played at Maximum Volume
Another great weekend. Blah... blah... blah... everyone is awesome. Blah... blah... blah... everyone loves Coy. Blah... blah... blah... lots of great pictures... Return of The Davis... Kyle has a typewriter!... Juice wants to kill the kid from Storytelling!... Flavio has a "Blue Steel" all his own!I got a little sick today and Coy took care of me. It was so sweet, I may get used to the attention and develop Münchhausen. Watch out, Coy. I feel cancer coming on...! Current Mood:  rockandroll | | Sunday, July 20th, 2008 | | 12:58 pm |

If music be the food of love...
I threw it up a long time ago. I don't perform so much anymore. I mumble through rock songs in karaoke bars or in video games. Every note I sing annoys me. I don't hear whatever I thought I heard when I was younger. There's no clarity; there's no soul, and there's nothing behind it. I'm embarrassed by it and I regret it as soon as I begin. I get nervous and sweat. Musicals I used to love I now see as senseless melodrama for people who over complicate base emotion. I suppose I'm glad I didn't waste my life on something I wasn't good at, and wouldn't end up loving forever--the way I was so sure I would. Current Mood:  bored | | Monday, June 16th, 2008 | | 11:03 pm |
Saw Cat Power last night...
Good god, what a great show. Ran into Andy and a friend of his. Saw an annoying Atlantic (I think) rep with her engineer asshole friends. Fortunately, Andy and his friend stayed for the show while the Atlantic chick proved she couldn't hang with humanity and left in a drunken stupor at what? 30 minutes in? I just. Whoa. It was unbelievable. Oh, my sister's senior recital was tonight. She did a great job. Brought me to tears in the end. She's going to a Masters program in Minnesota and being paid to do it... I couldn't be more proud of her. Current Mood: cheerful | | Sunday, June 15th, 2008 | | 10:47 am |
I like how creepy-personalized Myspace and Facebook have become. Facebook knows I'm getting married. Creepy. Myspace offers me Carl Sagan t-shirts. Cool as hell. But still creepy. I am currently making a mix tape and not going to church for Father's Day. I'm a huge asshole. For Father's Day. I found some old Harvey Danger music on iTunes and bought it all. It's been a while, but it's still good. I used to love the line in "Sad Sweetheart of the Rodeo" about the Marlboro Man dying of cancer and not being a rocket scientist. I think I missed the "soft city condescension" line. |
