*******NOTE**************** I live on campus from sept-mid december then mid jan to may

otherwise I'm at my parents' house :P

I'm Sara. I'm 18 and I currently go to Albany for college. I live in Wappingers Falls, New York which is about an hour from New York City. I've lived in New York my whole life. I major in Journalism. I speak Japanese and a little Italian and Spanish and French. I plan to learn a lot of languages because I love words and culture and all that. Primarily, I want to learn Japanese fluently.

I've been pen-paling for about ...four years. I seem to accumulate a lot of dead beat pen pals after a couple of letters or so. I primarily use swap-bot to writer letters. I'm slowly getting into jewlery making, though :) I also make/alter a lot of my clothing. It's fun. I love buttons!

betsey johnson, baby the stars shine bright, metamorphose, and soundgirl are awesome brands :)

I tap dance, play tennis, sing, write, etc. I love living life and being spontaneous. Also, I break into places as a hobby...like abandoned buildings, mental hospitals, asylums. It's really enjoyable. I go with my friends and explore and note the amazing architecture. I have flickr if you're interested.
