Gone Daddy Gone

So i guess today I did a little reflection about the past year of my life. Ok maybe just right now. And a glass of cheap red wine makes it easy for me to delve into those personal issues...

I guess the biggest improvement of my life I made in the few months after a painful (but necessary) breakup. Without that, I don't think I could have become the person I am right now. I'm happy in my own right, which is finally great, esp since I had a bunch of old baggage hanging around. And I became healthier, which was also good. I've been maintain a net weightloss of about four pounds, so yay me! Except for field camp, where I drank way too much beer, although that was balanced out by the whole hiking every day thing. And I met the love of my life. Which is always good : o) It took a while, but finally being happy with myself, getting rid of some of my needy tendancies and making myself proud of myself, well it worked miracles. I'm happy with where I am now. With any luck I'll be done with my (awesome) thesis by August, moved in with the hottest man alive by Dec, and working a real job by the beginning of next year. It makes me feel so excited to know I wont be so poor by this time next year. Hopefully, I'll start out at 80k a year, but most likely it'll be 70k, unless I work off in the middle east or Nigeria or someplace dangerous. Then I could be making 170k like Miguel. But I'd also run the risk of rape and decapitation...hmm...At least I'll be able to buy Sara Jane a real wedding present (Aug 08, woot!). I'm so happy for her, I only wish that I get as lucky as she did to meet someone who I can be equally as happy with. I'm going to hold in my optimism that Jared is the one (alas I get ahead of myself) but I really hope so. I'd have his babies at least (I've told him that!) hehe...I'm a dreamer, what can I say...I'm pretty sure I'd be happy to spend the rest of my life with him...like 99.9...but don't tell him I said so ; o)...And I digress....Anywho over all, Good Year, Better Sarah... Woot!!

Also: For your info, I am trying to arrange a fossil dig at Shark Tooth Hill here in Bako as a fundraiser for the Geology Club. If you're interested, please let me know, k?! Also planning a screening of An Inconvenient Truth on Campus, so look out for that too!

Ok, now for the song thats been in my head...the version was originally Violent Femmes, but the Gnarles Barkley is on my myspace right now..have a listen:

Beautiful girl, lovely dress,

High school smiles, oh yes,

Beautiful girl, lovely dress,

Where she is now I can only guess.

Cuz it's gone daddy gone,

The love is gone.

Yeah it's gone daddy gone,

The love is gone.

Its gone daddy gone,

The love is gone.

Yeah it's gone daddy gone,

The love is gone away.

When I see you,

Eyes will turn blue,

When I see you,

A thousand eyes turning blue.

Cuz it's gone daddy gone,

The love is gone.

Yeah it's gone daddy gone,

The love is gone.

It's gone daddy gone,

The love is gone.

Yeah it's gone daddy gone,

The love is gone away.

I can tell by the way that you,

Switch and walk,

And I can see by the way,

That you baby talk.

And I can know by the way that you,

Treat your man.

I can love you baby,

'til it's a crying.

It's gone daddy gone,

The love is gone.

Yeah it's gone daddy gone,

The love is gone.

It's gone daddy gone,

The love is gone.

Yeah it's gone daddy gone,

The love is gone away.

Beautiful girl, lovely dress,

Fifteen smiles, oh yes,

Beautiful girl, lovely dress,

Where she is now I can only guess.

Cuz it's gone daddy gone,

The love is gone.

Yeah it's gone daddy gone,

The love is gone.

It's gone daddy gone,

The love is gone.

Yeah it's gone daddy gone,

The love is gone away.
