Love is like oatmeal, when it's new, its so warm, inviting, yummy. Stir it up a bit or microwave it too long and you get lumps, then it dries up really fast. If you take care of it, and don't eat it all at once, it can be the best gift in the whole world. But if you abuse it you're stuck with dried up crusty oatmeal that sticks to you like cancer cells.
Love is also like jello. When you find it, it is so hard to hold on to. It escapes your fingers lickedysplit! Some people put it in a bowl, others eat it up so fast it was like it was never there. Some people share it out of large casserole dishes with everyone they meet. Others take so long setting the jello that when its done they can't eat it, or share it, it just sits in the fridge and rots into Hitler.
Love can also be like a bicycle - when everything is working smoothly it takes you places you need to go. However, when one thing is off, it dumps you in a place you don't recognize and you're lost until you figure out a way to walk, or crawl, yourself home.
Love can also be like a blog. Always there to talk to, never does a thing to hurt you that you didn't do yourself, connects you with people that you want to know, and is ALWAYS right at your fingertips.
Then again,
Love could just be love -

The Sarah Project: Day 27
I've been dating my boyfriend, for six months officially as of yesterday.
I have two more tests this week, and the migraine that I had the last three days made me really grumpy. Honestly, school is tiring. The thing is - straight As pulled off before, so shouldn't I want to get them again? It will be profitable. However, I'm really burnt out and I have been for a long time. I want to work on something. A job, but only a satisfying one. Idk. Hopefully we will see about this need to feel like I'm contributing to a success of some sort. I'm no longer getting that from school. I just want a break.
Speaking of breaks, I've been thinking for awhile now that I need a vacation. I haven't decided where to yet, or whom with, or if its even plausible, but we will see. The tropics sound so nice.
I wish that I had something creative to say, or show, but I don't. I'm simply programming away. Got to love Matlab.
Will write soon,
Sincerely,
Sarah
Stress is an evil booger. Let's pick it!

The Sarah Project: Day 26 - 15 Things Not Very Many People Know About Me
15 Things Not Very Many People Know About Me
1. I am a published poet. (New Jersey Poet Society - Love Anthology)
2. My favorite novels are those by Sarah Dessen and Penelope Fitzgerald.
3. When I was in elementary school I performed an African dance at a Cultural Assembly. I was also in a talent show that performed for the whole school (2,000 kids). I sang and I danced.
4. In high school, I was in two plays - Shakespeare Goes to Gravel Gulch (a melodrama) and the famous play, Harvey, through Hope Evangelical Free Church.
5. I'm obsessed with goldstone; a synthetic stone made for jewelry.
6. I love the Beach Boys.
7. I have a very very extensive sticker collection. As well as a small, but awesome, ceramic/glass/stone egg collection. (Sadly, both are in storage.)
8. I've co-piloted a small 6-seat airplane from Seattle to San Juan Island in the Puget Sound.
9. I've driven a boat, been deep-sea fishing, and have set, baited, and retrieved crab traps.
10. I've snorkeled frequently in the tropics - I've seen lion fish, sea cucumber, coral reefs, a school of giant angelfish and various other sea creatures.
11. I've touched the twin tours in Kuala Limpur, Malaysia.
12. I treasure most two dried yellow flowers that I have carried around with me in a petri dish since I was twelve years old in Okinawa. They are from the first moment I accepted Jesus into my heart, the first moment I believed in God, and the first time I truly experienced hope.
13. I've ridden an elephant. (Twice)
14. My first best friend was my puppy, Cleo, whom I got when I was three and she was two. She past away my freshman year of high school, at the age of 14. I loved her very much, and I was very very lonely without her. She was always there for me to cry to.... She saved my life.
15. I'm actually a very picky eater. I'll compromise and eat whats available when necessary, but when eating on my own I don't eat (because I don't really like) eggs, cake, cheesecake, pork, fried rice, fast food french fries (there are exceptions to that one, but most french fries from chains I don't like), regular sandwiches of any kind, Chinese food (gross), and various other foods.
Sincerely,
Sarah
