Who am I? Sarah!?

What Sarah Means
You are the total package - suave, sexy, smart, and strong.
You have the whole world under your spell, and you can influence almost everyone you know.
You don't always resist your urges to crush the weak. Just remember, they don't have as much going for them as you do.

You are usually the best at everything ... you strive for perfection.
You are confident, authoritative, and aggressive.
You have the classic "Type A" personality.

You are wild, crazy, and a huge rebel. You're always up to something.
You have a ton of energy, and most people can't handle you. You're very intense.
You definitely are a handful, and you're likely to get in trouble. But your kind of trouble is a lot of fun.

You are truly an original person. You have amazing ideas, and the power to carry them out.
Success comes rather easily for you... especially in business and academia.
Some people find you to be selfish and a bit overbearing. You're a strong person.

So according to: http://www.blogthings.com/whatsyournameshiddenmeaningquiz/ that's who I am. I happen to disagree with a few of those things but whatever. So my question is Who are you?

Kitchen Etiquette

So living with roommates is always interesting. Nearly always there are different ideas about how to do things and who should do them. This is especially true when it comes to cleanliness in the kitchen. My roommate experience this year has been no different than in the past. Different ideas with minor conflict arising from those disagreements. I'll share some general complaints as well as my personal pet peeves.

The main conflict is dishes. People either don't do them at all or do them all the time. This works out great for the people who never do dishes but not so great for the people who are always stuck doing them. It's kind of ridiculous when people will put their dishes in the sink when the dish washer is dirty.

Another dish problem is that of leaving dirty crusty pans in the sink without even rinsing them out. I personally don't mind loading other people's dishes but I will not scrub crusty pans that i haven't used. And it's not like people are coming back to clean their pots later, they just sit and sit.

My newest pet peeve is when people leave organic waste (apple core, lettuce, bread) on their plates. I feel that there is no excuse for this, the garbage is right below the sink. I came home earlier this week to find this scene, a bunch of dishes soaking and then apple lettuce and bread sitting in the water too. I didn't appreciate it. I talked to my roommates about it and the culprit said "Well there's the garbage disposal, they go down that". Yes I am aware that organic waste can do down the disposal but if you're going to do that, do it right when you finish your meal, don't let it sit for and entire day!

The final issue that I would like to address is that of the garbage. We keep our garbage beneath the sink. It fills up pretty quickly but it doesn't get taken out nearly as much as it should. Often I open the cupboard to throw something away to find that the garbage can has become the garbage cupboard. Disgusting! I took out the trash last week and not only was there a bags worth of garbage in the can, there was also a bags worth in the cupboard.

Those are just a few of the issues that we have in my apartment. It always keeps things interesting. There is no one person to blame and I am definitely not perfect but it would be so nice to have some common ideas on what is acceptable and what is not. Oh well I guess that is life. No matter what stage I'm at I'm sure that I'll have differing ideas of how things should be done. So really I should thank my roommates, they are helping me get accustom to life :)

Anger Issues?

All of you who know me well know that I'm not a very confrontational or angry person. I usually just try to let things roll off my back. Don't get me wrong, there are plenty of things that annoy me and sometimes I have to vent but I rarely yell, get cranky, or hold grudges. You wouldn't think this about me though if you could see into my dreams recently.
For about the past two weeks I have been having very angry dreams pretty consistently. The first one was just random, me getting mad and yelling at a grocery store clerk. But now they are starting to involve my friends and it's kind of strange. For the most part I'm not mad (in real life) at the people in my dreams so it really makes no sense that I would be so mad. But dreams don't make sense.
Now I'm just concerned that I'm supressing things that I should be dealing with in my real life and therefore they are manifesting themselves in my dreams, very Freudian I know but it's possible. So I guess I'm asking if I'm abnormal or if this is a common occurance for other people too? Do you have angry dreams? :) Maybe I'm just a little bit paranoid but it's an interesting subject all the same.

For Brad

So I heard that Brad said that this blog should be the David Fan Club blog or something like that. So Brad, this one's for you.

I love David! He's just the best guy ever. He's so cute and funny and sweet. He always makes me smile and makes me happy when I'm sad. I love taking walks with him and cuddling on the couch with him. I love being dorks together. Pretty much he's just the best thing ever and I'm going to keep him.

Sorry Brad, I can't be that cheesy for any longer. Yes I love David. No this blog is not the David Fan Club.
