Well, it's been fun, but I've decided to stop posting here.  I'm going to keep the account in case I change my mind, but if you want to read about my adventures, go to my livejournal.

Thanks for all the love.

I was back at school and I kept seeing people from my high school that don't go to JMU.  Then I went to see an Elijah Wood movie with my parents.  He looked really bizarre because he had long brown curls like Screech from Saved By The Bell.  And the older couples in front of us kept changing seats.  Finally, I wanted to go home but for some reason my parents wouldn't come and I ended up calling Kat to come get me.

At the very end, right before I woke up, I was getting in bed.  So, when my mum told me to wake up, I was more than a little puzzled.

~Sara~

And so begins another attempt at keeping a written journal.  I only have about five.  *rolls eyes*  Fortunately, the work on this one will be minimal.  I am designating my new Pooh journal as my new "dream journal".  It will be the sacred place where I write down all my dreams. 

Let it be noted that I will start by making it a ritual to write in said journal each day right after I've woken up.  However long this routine lasts will be seen in time.

Once said dreams are written into that "sacred place", I shall post them onto my blog (where nothing's sacred ) for the pleasure and likely amusement of others. 

I will post every dream that is recalled herein no matter the nature, freakiness or consequences.  This is an attempt to explore the mind of one Sara Michele Hoffman and not meant to shock, scare or emotionally scar any of my readers.

Thanks for coming and enjoy the ride.

Well, that was weird...

Last night I dreamed that I was Denis Leary's girlfriend.  He was taking me out for a romantic evening.  For some reason, I went into the restaraunt's bathroom and changed out of my dress and into a sexy, slinky outfit.  Then, when I opened the door, I found Denis chatting up another girl and inviting her back to his place.  He saw me leaving in a huff and offered a threesome, to which I replied, "No way, son."

My dreams unusually aren't this weird.

~Sara~

...I'm home.  Heh.  If you're wondering what I've been up to in the past few days, read my livejournal.  I'm now debating whether or not I'm going to keep this journal as I hardly update it anymore.  I like LJ better because you can link friends on it, you have userpics (kind of like my daily Billy pics, only not) and I just like the over-all format over there.  If I do decide to stop using this one, I'll let you know.  I also might not delete this one in case I change my mind. 

I'm just giving you a heads up so you don't think I've completely disappeared.  I'm just starting to realize that keeping up to date with two journals is unnecessary.  And I kind of have a monthly journal thing on my site too, here.  As my life is really NOT that exciting, I think it's time I downsize. 

I've had this journal for a long time though (over a year, I think), so I'm still debating with myself.  Any thoughts are welcome.  Feel free to comment and let me know what you think. 

Here's a sweet Billy & Ali picture:

She's wearing the Boyd tartan!   I saw that and I said to my mum "She's wearing his tartan!  But she's a girlfriend.  Is that allowed?"  Hee hee hee.  I kid, I kid.  I think they're so cute together.  I'm still hoping that she'll go to ELF so I can give her a nice big hug. 

Love,
Sara

Wow.  People are starting to like me. 

I was fairly productive today, which is unusual for me.  After my finals (bleh), I made and shared a bunch of fanvids (see Hobbit Habits  for details), bought a couple bluebooks for my Philosophy "final" tomorrow, studied a wee bit (but you can't really study for it--I hate that man), took all my pictures/posters off my walls/door (except for Bedtime Billy--he's staying until Friday if I have anything to do with it...or Thursday night at the earliest...), then read and responded to livejournal comments. 

LOST comes on in a few minutes and I'm super stoked.  Unless it's a repeat, and then I'll super kill someone. 

1 1/2 days till I go hooooome!!

So, here're the things I plan to do after LOST (unless it's a repeat, in which case I would do all this starting sooner):

• hang out on the BBB
• wait for Carol to come on so I can show her the other super fanvid I made
• write more of my fanfics
• perhaps study more of Phil...but prolly not
• watch my fanvids over and over again, proud that I made them

Yep, that's my plan.

Here's tonight's Billy picture, brought to you by sunglasses:

That looks like a fun job, doesn't it?  Put shades on Billy and then take pictures.  Sign me up. 

~Sara~

P.S. Happy one-week birthday, Jack!!!!

A lot has been going on (mostly in my mind) and I've been too speechless (typeless?) to post them anywhere.  I've been basically living on the BBB these past few days.

I've been feeling so happy ever since I first learned of Billy and Ali's baby Jack.    I love Billy even more now, if that's possible.  I'm so proud and happy for them.  It's almost as if I'm a distant aunt or something.  I even got them a card that says "Congratulations...It's a little bitty you guys!"  I've really been wanting this for them ever since I've been immersed in the fandom, and it makes me so elated, surprised and proud to know that Ali has been pregnant this whole time!  I'm glad she and Billy kept it secret because they're private people and they deserve their privacy.  They're a breath of fresh air compared to those in Hollywood who aren't ashamed to show everything about their lives 24/7.  That's part of why I'm glad they're staying in Scotland...that, and because Scotland is ten million times better than Hollywood. 

I may sound bitter, but believe me, I'm not.  I just really look up to people like Billy and Ali who can manage to have wonderful careers and families without being so "in your face" as Britney Spears and Angelina Jolie.  End rant. 

I also think I'll share what I'm planning to do for wee Jack at ELF.  Apart from chipping in to get a baby blanket (yes?  no?  maybe?), I'm also going to give Billy my stuffed Daffy to give to Jack.  I got this Daffy at Six Flags last September.  I believe he even rode next to me on some rides.  He's been in my dormroom this whole year and he's been there for me a lot: whether it was randomly tangoing with me to Beatles songs, protecting me from Seed of Chucky when I first watched it when I was afraid, or just laying on my bed and making me smile.  I've put a lot of love and happy memories into that stuffed duck and now I want to share him with Jack. 

For anyone who wants to see him, here he is:

He's made of that really soft plush that the old fashioned Winnie the Pooh animals are made out of.  I think his beak has cardboard in it to make it beak-like, but it's still soft because there's also stuffing inside it.  He's perfect for wee Jack.  I even cut the tags off. 

I'm really looking forward to ELF now.  It's only approximately two months and 19 days away!

Here's today's Billy and Ali picture :

So cute.  I love them.  Both of them.  They make me happy.

~Sara~

Billy and Ali had a baby boy yesterday!!!!  His name is Jack William and he weighs 6 lbs, 10 oz.  Ali and baby are doing fine and Billy is the proud papa!!

I am so happy for them & I know that they will be a wonderful family!!

Now, marry Ali, Billy.  That will fulfill my other wish. 

Love,
Sara

The campus smelt like a petting zoo today.  Plus, Choices is still going on so it really feels like we are in a zoo.  The parents and prospective students look at us current students as if we're just there for show.  It annoys me, especially when they get in my way as I'm walking to class.

"Look, Mom, college students in their natural habitat."

I had my final review session with Joe this morning.  I'm so glad I don't have to get up that early anymore...though I will next year.  Darn 8 AM French class!  *waves fist*  I'll miss Joe though.  He reminds me of Andy Kaufman.  What every girl should want in a man.

I just realized a few hours ago that in this one year I've written more stories than I have in my entire life.  Complete stories.  As of this moment, I've written three complete stories, and I'm very close to finishing another two.  I don't know what it is, but lately I've been bursting with ideas.  I'm proud of me.

My favorite story that I've written thus far is Underneath the Willow Tree.  I think it's the most well-written, fully developed and well-thought out story I've ever written.  I paid a lot of attention to detail with that one.  Each name has a meaning behind it.    I might publish it someday.  All I'd have to do is change Billy's last name. 

ELF is three months & three days away!!

Here's tonight's Billy picture:

He makes a good model, doesn't he?  He's got the whole model stance going.  And, once again.  THE WAIST.  I love his waist!  He's got his hands in his pockets.  What a lovely, lovely man you are, Billy.

~Sara~

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.

We did our scene in theatre today.  It went well, apart from Chris skipping ahead in the lines a little bit.  No biggy.  He just forgot to ask what my name was and all of a sudden knew, but that's...okay.

I came back to my room afterwards and found my roommate sleeping.  Then she woke up and told me all about why she was sleeping.  It was so cute.  I love my roommate.  I'm gonna miss her next year.  After all this time, we actually are close.

I'm allergic to Spring.  Every time I step outside, I get sneezy.  I think it's the combination mulch-grass-flower allergy.  Now my nose itches.  Boo.

Yep.

Penny's hopefully gonna get back to me on the shipping cost of the poster an' then I can get it and it'll be mine forever!    I have to change my shipping address though, cuz I might not be here anymore by the time she sends it.  Better safe than sorry.  Or so I've heard.

JRD is going to ELF!!  WOOT!  JRD is John Rhys Davies, by the way.  Also known as Gimli (son of Gloin) the dwarf and Treebeard the Ent in LOTR.  EEEE!  I'm so excited, and I'm not gonna hide it.  EVER!  I'm gonna get his autograph and talk to him too!  For anyone who knows me (and I'm guessing that's the majority of you), you understand that I'm exploding with delight right now.

Kat, remember how I was when I met Peter?  I'm gonna be like that times fifty.    Exactly.  I wish you could be there.  I luff you! 

So, so far, I'm gonna meet Billy Boyd (my love), Elijah Wood (my second love) and John Rhys Davies (the one who made me laugh till I cried that one night).  Longer name, longer description.  Hee hee.

Here's this afternoon's Billy picture:

I resized that manually, just now.  I think I deserve some sort of award.  That picture was ginormous before!  All I could see of him was his shoes.  And they were ginormous as well.  He's leaning against some pretend books, as you can see.  I actually stand like that when I'm standing outside of a lot of my classes.  Grin included.  I'm just natually jovial.  I think this picture was taken only about a month ago...I love him so!

~Sara~

Stupid Alias is on for two hours tonight, so I have to wait until NEXT week to watch my beloved LOST! 

It helps to listen to my Avenue Q CD, but I don't know why, exactly.

Tomorrow's gonna be craziness.  I have to take this ridiculous test on the library, then I have to answer questions about Psychology articles, then do laundry, then go to a meeting with our R.A.s  Tomorrow's gonna suck, basically.

However, once Friday's over, the only thing I have to worry about is finals and then I can blow out of this popsicle stand.  Haha, I make joke.  Today, I kept making the lamest jokes.  But then, what do you expect from me?

I really want to help Stewart run Billy's site.  I don't want money or anything...I really and truly want to help.  But I don't know how to contact him. 

Here's tonight's Billy picture:

Isn't he the cutest thing??  That's such a Sally Brown thing to say, but in this case it's SOO true.  Billy could be my Linus any day.  Hmm, I wonder if he has a blanket...
