Hey!  Welcome to My *New and Improved* Homepage!

For those of you who don't know me, my name is Sarah. My boyfriend, Trevor, and I have been going out since February of 2000. I am soon to be 23* years old (*in June of 2004) and I just received my B.A. degree in Liberal Studies from CSULB, California State University Long Beach. The degree within the Liberal Studies department means the graduate wants to become an elementary school teacher. And by the way, my last semester at CSULB, I received a 4.0 GPA. How sweet is that?!?! I graduated high school from Warren High School in Downey, California in June of 1999 and attended CSULB in August of 1999. I tried to get my minor in Psychology, but after a LOT of frustration and stupidity (on CSULB’s behalf), I gave up. I have enough units and plenty of classes to qualify, but because of my major, they wouldn’t let me. Why you ask? I don’t know. And I don’t think CSULB knows either… So I’ll give you the answer they love to give me. “It’s in the catalog. That’s why.” I have been accepted into the credential program at CSULB and I will start my studies in fall 2004. From there, I plan to apply to a few different Graduate programs, such as the Marriage, Family, Therapist program and the Psychology Graduate program. I'm still not too sure yet, but psychology does interest me a lot. Trevor thinks I should apply to just Psychology, but I don't know... I mean, I want to teach for a few years... Just to see… Besides, there are always more Graduate programs… like School Counselor, Guidance Counselor, School Psychologist, etc… Plenty of jobs having to do with young children and their “fragile little minds.” Don’t worry- I will keep all of the interested folks updated.

I have hazel brown eyes, natural strawberry blonde hair, and I am 5'6"... and I have a boyfriend. =) hehe My nickname is Dot. It comes from the WB animated show, Animaniacs. Bob, one of my friends, is nicknamed Wakko (cause she’s crazy) and Meg, another friend, is nicknamed Yakko (cause she talks a LOT). But I'm the Cute One. So there!

I am shy, quiet, and usually keep things to myself... but I am also very talkative, outgoing, and outspoken once you get to know me. Ask Trevor if you don’t believe me. He found out the hard way and now he’s stuck with me forever. hehe =)

I have three cats. My cat is named Candy. She is 17 years old and I have had her since she was a few months old. She sleeps in my bed every night- she snuggles right up next to me and rests her head on my arm. She is my bestest animal friend- I can tell her anything and she doesn’t tell… She used to be able to say the word “spoon,” but of course it was a meow to you and me. I know I may sound crazy, but it’s true. She would meow the same way each time I told her to say “spoon.” Oh, I love my cat. Can you tell? The other two cats are named Mac and Squeaky. They aren't my cats, but they're in my house. =) hehe We've had those two cats for about 12 years now. They are both about 12 years old… I like Mac now; I’ve tamed him quite significantly. He now licks my finger whenever I say, “Gimme kiss” or “I love you.” Yes, sad, but he’s so cute and fluffy- who can resist him? I swear- he has the EXACT same pitiful kitty look as Puss in Boots in Shrek 2!!! I kid you not. I call him Fluffo the Clown, Chubby, Fatty, and Chubby Man. He’s just so gosh darn fat and furry! =) hehe And Squeaky- I have said it a thousand times before- I don’t care about her; she is evil.

Eventually in life, I want to marry a super sweet guy and have a few kids... preferably three boys. (Adoption is fine with me!) hehe Either way, I want to have about three kids and live in Colorado. If not Colorado, maybe Washington or maybe I’ll stay here in California… I'm still debating that one. I want a 4-bedroom house (preferably with 3 bathrooms). The floor plan goes like this: Downstairs is the kitchen/breakfast nook, dining room, family/living room, 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, and 3-car garage. Upstairs is the master bedroom with a walk-in closet, attached bathroom with whirlpool bathtub, and an office/study area- may not sound like a lot upstairs, but it’s all mine- I’m getting a locked door at the top of the stairs. No kids allowed! HAHA!! After I retire, or as soon as I have enough money, I plan on buying a Dodge Viper. My kids can ride around the block anytime they want to... as long as they are in the passenger seat. My husband, unless he helps pay for it in some form, is not allowed to drive my Viper. hehe I'm evil, huh? That's okie though because I'm sure that he will have his own cars to play with and drive around. So many, that he won't want to drive my “stinky little Viper.”

According to some astrology website, here's some info about me!  I am, in many ways, an eternal child. My mind is bright, alert, curious, flexible, playful, and always eager for new experiences - and my attention span is often quite brief. I grasp ideas quickly and once your initial curiosity has been satisfied, I want to go on to something else. I crave frequent change, variety, meeting new situations and people. It may be hard for me to decide just where my talents and true vocation lies, for I have a multitude of interests and are loathe to limit myself by concentrating on just one. I am easily distracted by all of the other fascinating possibilities. My curiosity and restlessness propel me into many different experiences in life, and I am willing to taste or try anything once. Doing the same thing over and over again, even it is something I do well, is real drudgery for me. I live in my head a great deal - reading, observing, thinking, spinning ideas around - and I need mental stimulation every bit as much as I need food and drink. In fact, if I had to choose between a good book or movie and a good lunch, I would very likely choose the former. I have a creative mind and often live by my wits. I am also a very social creature, with a strong need to communicate and to interact with people. I enjoy using and playing with words and have a real flair for getting your ideas across in a clever, interesting, articulate manner. Writing or speaking are areas I have talent for. I also have a rather light and mischievous sense of humor, and often do not take anything too seriously. Though I crave emotional involvement, it is hard for me to achieve it, for I am frequently unwilling to commit myself to anything, to take responsibility, or to limit my personal freedom and mobility. My happiness lies in using my creativity and my language skills to communicate something meaningful, to teach, inspire, or bring people together. I have an unbiased mind and can usually offer a fresh, clear, uncluttered perspective. My faults are my lack of constancy and persistence, and my tendency to overlook or ignore deep emotional issues and other people's feelings. I am highly interested in inner, subjective, and personal issues, and my thinking is based more on feelings, intuition, personal experiences, and prejudices rather than reason or logic. Intellectual abilities and accomplishments without heart or soul mean little to me. I am empathic and would be an excellent counselor, for I am a sensitive listener and deeply interested in a person's feelings and inner life. In addition to psychology, I am drawn to education, art, poetry, music, or mythology. I am not especially confident about speaking in public, but will open up and share your thoughts in small, intimate groups. I enjoy keeping a diary or personal journal and reading the chronicles of others' lives and personal development.
