My Life Story


Ok, so here is going to be my boring life story, up to now. So it all starts back in September of 1987 in Fredricton, New Brunswick when this little bundle of joy, Sarah Elizabeth was born. After living in a PMQ on a military base for not that long I had to move to Lahr, Germany on a Canadian base living in another PMQ, where I would live for 3 years and travel around Europe seeing relatives in Scotland and Holland. Ah, the fun of throwing water balloons over the house in Holland. And then in Scotland, having dad pretend to be a ghost and me being scared so bad. In those 3 years I had siblings, both born in Germany. In 1988 my sister Patricia Alana was born, then in 1990 was my brother Christopher Allan.
Then in either 1990 or 1991 (pretty sure it was 1990) we moved back to Canada. This time to Dartmouth, Nova Scotia and no longer in a PMQ. This time we had a house, and while we waited for all our furniture to come we stayed in a County Inn & Suites hotel where I watched 'All Dogs Go To Heaven' non-stop. Gotta love that movie.
So then we came to our new house, and since I wasn't shy at all, I made friends right away. As soon as we pulled in the driveway, all the neighbourhood kids were next door playing. So I was 3 yrs old, turning 4 the next month and I was friends with everybody. Next door was lived a boy my age, I'm not sure of his name, so we'll just call him Ryan. So all the kids were at his house playing, like Teela (lives 3 houses down from me and is 2 yrs older), Sarah (down the street, a yr older), Chris (down the street, a yr older), Robbie (chris' bro, a yr younger). I became friends with them all right away.
Chris was my best friend for a while, I started school and we always played together. We even found a treehouse one time in the woods, it was so cool. I also used to go to Ryan's house everyday, I remember one time I went over and he answered the door naked, until his mom grabbed him and ran, it was pretty funny. He got into alot of trouble for taht.
After a year or two, when I was in Grade 1 or 2, Ryan and Chris both ended up moving. In Ryan's place was a fat old dude named Bob. And in Chris and Robbie's place was Dominic (yr older) and Melissa (yr younger). I became friends with Dominic, and now Teela and Sarah were my best friends. We'd hang out all the time.
In around Grade 3, Kyle moved in. He lived 2 doors down from me and as soon as moved in i went over to see him. I remember going over and saying "Hi! My name's Sarah! My mom said I could come over and meet the new kid on the block! Wanna be my friend!" so we became good friend's too. But not as good as me, Sarah and Teela. Not so much Teela, but me and Sarah were basically inserperable.
So then in grade 4, I still had alot of friends, I was friends with Lindsay, Jessica, Ashley, Shelly and April at school. They were my closest friends, but back then, everyone was friends with everyone. Also in Grade 4, the Sailor Moon craze hit hard. Sarah would come over to my house everyday afterschool, and everyday we would watch Gargoyles on FOX then right after we'd change it to YTV and watch Sailor Moon. Everyday. I had all sorts of Sailor Moon toys, I could draw Sailor Moon just like on TV, and my initials were the same. So that made me kind of popular at the time. And of course I wasn't the least bit shy so I'd talk to everyone and was friends with everyone. All the people who are really popular now, I remember being friends with...ah how the years have gone by.
Also in Grade 4 the Club House trend started. Since my parents took down our deck in the back yard, we had lotsa wood and made a ton of club houses. It would be me, Kyle, Sarah, Teela, Dominic, Mikayla (lived down the street, yr younger), my sister and Ashley (across the street, 2 yrs younger) and we'd make so many in my yard. Once we got tired, we'd take it down and put up a new one. It was great. Me, Sarah and Teela had our own private club for a while, tons of fun. No one else was allowed in.
The next in grade 5 everything was Spice Girls and Backstreet Boys. You were crazy if you didn't like them. Of course, I was madly in love with Nick Carter. Since the Spice Girls were so big, they came out with their own gum that came with stickers. Everyone had to have those stickers. So I got them all. I put them all in order on the front of my binder and everyone thought it was so cool. So since Spice Girls were so big me and my friends did a dance for the school as the Spice Girls to the song 'Spice Up Your Life'. Lindsay was Sporty, April was Ginger, Jessica was Baby and I was Posh. Even though i had blonde hair and Jessica had dark brown, she made a BIG deal and became Baby. We were awesome. Pogs were also really big, and i had so many cuz I always won games. People were a little scared to play me.
Grade 5 was my acting debut. I loved drama and wanted to actress. So i joined drama club and our first production was "Herlock Sholmes of Yotland Scard', a spoof of Sherlock Holmes. I tried out and was a lemonade lady. Basically a person who sat there and filled up space. I was dissapointed.
Then one day the girl who played Herlock kept screwing up her lines. So the drama made me read her lines that day. After i read them i was the new lead in the play. i was so happy. i memorised all my lines and was the lead character. the only part i was afraid of was the beginning when i give a big speech. I still remember some of it...
Good evening ladies and gentlemen, allow me to introduce myself. My name is Herlock Sholmes of Yotland Scard and i'm hear to-now keep this quiet now-investigate a murder at this party!
It was a funny play, and from then on i got all the leads. I was so happy and decided to become an actress.
Grade 6 and my only friends were April, Jessica and Lindsay. I'd hang out with some other ppl but none of them were really my friends. Teela had new junior high friends and was always too busy to hang out with me, but would come to my house once and a while and i'd walk her dog with her. Sarah decided she was too cool for me and ditched me for "cool" friends. So now instead of best friends, she made fun of me whenever she could.
But grade 6 wasn't all that bad I guess. It was pretty fun. I had a crush on so many guys, it was pretty sad. And of course April told every single one of them that i liked them. But of course none of them liked me. It kindda made me feel bad at times since April had a new b/f every week, but other than that, it didn't bother me all that much.
The next year was *sigh* grade 7, junior high and all new people. And the scariest part was...*gasp!* french immersion. I was horrified of taking my courses in another language. Not only new people and the chance of getting lost, but everything was in french.
