Hey There, I'm Sarah

As my title says, I'm Sarah. An easy way to start this out is to say that I'm 16 (17 in November) and that I have not lived in Lexington all my life, though I have at this point lived here long enough that I associate more with here than where I lived before (some rinky dink town named Cookeville was the closest to town to where I technically lived, but I went to school in an even rinky-dinkier town called Baxter, if it can even be called that). That was in Tennessee, and if you hadn't noticed, it's kinda in the middle of nowhere. I moved in 4th grade, and as such have spent the more meaningful, developmental part of my life in Lexington.

This past summer was the first time that I ever left the country, even though I feel like in most ways Canada isn't really all that different from the U.S. I went to Toronto and Niagara Falls (the Toronto part was for my sister, and the Niagara Falls part for everyone else, but especially my sister, who doesn't like big cities.) I loved Toronto, but Niagara Falls reminded me too much of Gatlinburg for me to like it too much. That said, here's a picture of my dad, sister and I all in front of Niagara Falls.

And with that I'll move on to what geeks me out, which, here's a warning, there's a lot of stuff. As can be seen from my shirt in the last picture, I really like Star Trek (though I've only watched the Original Series and the reboot movie). Speaking of movies, I really like the Marvel universe movies, but Iron Man is my favorite of the heroes (I have a soft spot for Loki, even though he's a villain.) I love the show Sherlock and also like the movies, and there are several cartoons that I could discuss forever (such as The Legend of Korra or anything related to Avatar.) And when I say discuss forever, I mean I could literally talk about it forever. I'm also pretty partial to a webcomic called Homestuck. Oh, and the last book I read was Good Omens by Neil Gaiman and Terry Pratchett and it was pretty amazing.

Trust me when I say I've thought about what super power I'd want to have for a long time. I tend to go between two of them: the one I stick with more is shielding/force field powers, while the other is the ability to control gravity. And now that I've said that, I can say that most of my friends have discussed this too, and at one point I even drew a bunch of us as superheroes (here lemme post it I'm sure it's fine if I pollute this blog with my doodles.)

The middle three in this picture are in the Academy, actually. I'm in the very middle, while on either side of me are Michael (S) and Bay (both of whom are in 6th hour English) (PS that chick next to Michael is his girlfriend, this has been a psa). I draw a ton though, and anything that's colored is most likely done on the computer, like this one.

Having typed all of this up I now realize that it's pretty much entirely devoted to random fandoms and stuff like that. Well, that is the kind of thing that I'm interested in, but don't worry, as much as my parents might disagree, I can talk about other things. However, since it plays in together, I have two websites that I love very much and could nearly get lost on. Tumblr is one of them, while another one that I lose myself on is called TvTropes, which is a website entirely devoted to reoccurring themes that show up in tv shows, books, movies, etc. I'll end all of this by saying that I don't know what I want to do with my life or with which of my interests I should try to pursue a career with, but that I hope to have some of that figured out by the end of this year.
