dear diary pants: “I always pick guys with cool hair”

y’all it has been AGES since i dipped into ye olde high school journals, and i KNOW how much you guys have been missing yr daily keanu worship so… teenage sarah pants is back!

here’s a preview of what you will learn from the following two entries:

1. wow, i watched a lot of bad television in the 90s.

2. in addition to my infatuation with keanu, i was also totally obsessed with the mickey mouse club (MMC). just like i had a keanu tape, my friend becky had an MMC tape featuring her favorite videos and skits from the show. this tape was, like, GOLD. or, more accurately, crack. forget parties and drinking– the MMC tape was all we needed for a night of the high life. cos we were awesome.

3. i was totally a grade-obsessed nerd. this fact has already been established by basically every previous entry, but in case you were wondering, yep, still a dork!

4. shampoo in the eye = newsworthy.

Lesser load of homework than is usual for a Monday– I even got to the biblioteca to return the two Star Wars libros [ed. note: i was taking Spanish at the time, so, yeah] and renew the third one. I got an 86 on my Chemistry test. Ok, I guess. I can’t decide if I’m not trying hard enough or I’m careless or it’s just tough.

In Theater, Jade, Rachel and I are doing a pantomime about weeds. I think it’s funny.

Got to watch “The Nanny,” “Dave’s World,” “Murphy Brown” (yes! Scott Bakula was on!) and “Love and War” (I watched that when I was taking a bath) [ed. note: how v. margo tennebaum of me!]. And I watched some of Becky’s tape. I ffed to the exact place of Spot in “Newsies” (I rock) then I got to see “Runaway Train” and “Make Me Love You More” [ed. note: these are MMC videos, lest you think i was cool enough to love soul asylum back then. please see exhibit A and B]. I don’t know what it is about those two videos, but I am entranced. For “Runaway Train” it’s probably JC (he’s edging up next to Harrison); he’s so cute and fine!! He looks very lovable. I think it’s his hat too (even though I love his hair– I always pick guys with cool hair) [ed. note: this is so not true. see exhibit A]. And in “Make You Love Me More” it’s the costumes, and the song, and just because it’s the MMC, and soon Jennifer will be gone, she was so chubby and short when I first started watching it. Soon all the people I know will be gone– I resent the new young ones.* But that’s the way life goes.

*not for long, teenage sarah! cos “new young ones” = britney, christina and, most importantly, justin!!! oh how things change…

Exhibit A: MMC “Runaway Train”

like i said. cool hair.

Exhibit B: MMC “Love U More”

btw, the dancer with the long wavy hair? that’s keri russell!! holla!!!!!!

8/30/94

Progress reports: my lowest grade was an 89 in Chemistry. Yes! But it was kind of a bad day. I got to go to the Drama Club meeting, but I had to leave before it ended because I had a dentist appointment, but it was later than I thought so I missed the end for nothing. And then I missed JC singing “Two Princes” [exhibit C] because it was at the beginning of the show and I got back 7 minutes after it started! I had wanted to tape it on my KR tape [ed. note: i'm pretty sure i don't need to explain who those initials belong to] and I was mad because I wanted “Runaway Train” and “Love You More” on it and I’ll probably have to wait until, like, January).

But there were some good things– Mom signed me up for Driver’s Ed and voice lessons, finally!, on Thursdays (but that’s kinda bad because it’s my TV night, but since they’re 6:30-7, I won’t miss too much). I got my yearbook!! Very cool (I love all of the pictures of the seniors) but I’m mad that we didn’t get them at the end of last year– no signatures. And Mom gave up her appointment just so I could go to the Drama Club meeting. And “Wings” was on– repeat, but oh well!

I got shampoo in my eye and it’s reeeally bothering me.

Exhibit C: MMC “Two Princes”

squee of the day: mini baby pigs!!!!!! LOOK AT THEIR LITTLE SNOUTS!!!!

i love this “fallen princess” photo series. except i have one question– why is snow white’s house a wreck? what happened to all of those helpful mice and birds and baby deer and stuff? animal friends are flaky, yo.

have you guys seen the trailer for “the stoning of soraya m.”? it looks amazing. and also i’ll probably have to watch “step up 2″ like five times afterwards just to balance out the seriousness.

speaking of serious trailers, HOLY CRAP “the cove” looks SO HARDCORE. i haven’t seen a documentary this intense since “hands on a hard body.”

if you live in NYC, go to this park immediately!! and then send me a picture and make me jealous!!!!

have y’all heard of justin bieber, usher’s new R&B prodigy? this kid is like 15. just watching the video makes me feel kind of like a perv.

attention other YA readers (i.e. jessica): not yr mother’s book club posted their summer reading list.
