About Me

Lionheart --
[noun]:
A person of questionable sanity who starts their own cult
'How will you be defined in the dictionary?' at QuizGalaxy.comI'm Sarah. I'm a bit wild, kinda crazy, and i've got an undying love of explosives and music. I'm in love with David, I play soccer, ♥ to snowboard, and spend a lot of my free time wandering around in the woods. I travel a ton and have lived in many different places incuding Indonesia, England, and Singapore, but home is here in Oregon...where Nature can be its wild self and i can live to enjoy it. I'm also a published photographer (see some of my photography in the My Pictures album and leave a comment!). Besides music, David, explosives, sports, and the outdoors, I love art and writing: I'm currently working on several short stories (read "ZOMBIES!" on my blog. You might even be a character in it!), which usually keep me busy. When i'm not writing, i can be found wandering around in the woods armed with my Canon Rebel XTi camera...or sitting in front of the TV watching Invader ZIM, Band of Brothers, or Ghost Hunters. I don't give a crap about what others think of me; I'm not gunna change who I am just to make you happy. In short, I'm proud of who i am, so deal with it. ♥! if you wanna reach me, call my cell or AIM TheRebellion09.

I love MUSIC! ♥

Movies:

i love anything full of action, horror, or suspense. in short, i like to be scared outta my seat. any movie with the ability to make me involunterily shout out curses is a winner. also, movies that get me to reconsider my views on life and keep me thinking are good. i don't think i have a favorite movie, but whatever. i despise chick-flicks and pathetic romance movies. that kind of drama makes me laugh--and not because it's funny; it's because it's so damned stupid! Some of my favorites: Dead Poet Society, Dances With Wolves, The Ring, The Grudge/Grudge 2, The Matrix series, 23, 300 (Duh!), and The Village. (No one else gets the point of this movie cuz they're not open-minded enough. i laugh at you!).

Television:

GOD! FREAKIN INVADER ZIM KICKS ASS! gotta love GIR and the Almighty Tall Ones...Dib is cool, too.Planet Earth is by far the best miniseries to ever hit television. This is a bunch of clips put to the music from the Lion King movies. Cool, huh?Also, I love to learn facts about the world around me. and i like to be able to enjoy what i'm watching without getting bored or constantly changing the channels. i watch bull riding, Family Guy, MadTv, Mythbusters, and Most Haunted. oh! and G4, MTV2, and all that good stuff. MTV sucks since it was overrun with stupid reality TV shit, but Headbanger's Ball on MTV2 is AWESOME! i love Braniac (where else do you get to see random people blow up caravans?), and i enjoy watching metal/rock/punk/ska music videos. I gag at the prospect of soap operas like OC and whatnot--shows about preppy little supermodels with totally screwed-up social lives and other similar issues that can easily be fixed with a phonecall to the insane asylum. thank you very much.

Books:

Edger Allen Poe rules the world of literature. I also love books by Clare Bell, Stephen King, and Yann Martel. My favorite book in the world is a very short one called Secret Heart, but i also fell in love with Band of Brothers and Ratha's Creature. the last book i read was the Zombie Survival Handbook, hence the blog entry titled 'ZOMBIES'. And...not that it's a book really, but the comics "Jhonny the Homicidal Maniac" and "I Feel Sick" by Johnen Vasquez are awesome. Johnny's NOT emo--he's just very messed up. And Happy Noodle Boy--though an abomination in an of himself--rules.

Heroes:

Mother Nature. And David because he's not afraid to be himself. Oh! And Martin and Osa Johnson 'cuz Martin was an amazing photographer, and Osa cuz she was an amazing writer. And Jhonen Vasquez--I shouldn't have to explain this one.
