1. Sarah is really good at krumping and rapping.
2. The phone messages she leaves for Katie Connolly, truly, they are jewels.
3. THE ALL-CAPS TEXT MESSAGES SHE SENDS ME PERIODICALLY, WHAT A YOUNG BELLIGERENT.
4. Sarah was almost named Betsy, in honor of Betsy Ross.
5. When she contradicts herself in the course of a single sentence, example: “Oh, I’ll eat anything… but I’m really picky” or “No, no, really, I like dogs!” (As she cringes and flinches because of her proximity to a dog). To be fair, the dog in question was climbing on her and licking her face, but it was pretty funny to see Sarah, clearly uncomfortable, insist that she was completely fine with a dog climbing on her and licking her face.
6. The “Smoky” voice.
7. Sarah got AP English student of the year…and wasn’t present to receive her award
8. Sarah does not believe that she is one of Ms. Serensky’s favorite students. When confronted with the evidence of the abovementioned award, she insists it means nothing and offers ridiculous explanations. Sarah is extremely modest, and I know she just wants to avoid bragging, but no one is going to believe that Ms. Serensky gave you the award “because she felt bad for you” Sarah.
9. Hitting the road with Sarah is always an adventure; she is talented enough to drive without the use of her hands, eyes, or full attention.
10. Her blog address is sarahpeross.blogspot.com. What is that “pe” doing between “sarah” and “ross” you might ask? Sarah opted to include the first two letters of her middle name, not the whole thing, or just the first initial, but the first two letters. Only Sarah.
11. Her creative writing story. Sarah let me read the beginning stages of her “Adventures at the Cavs Games” and I recommend it to anyone who likes to be entertained. Really, I like any story Sarah is telling, she makes everything so funny.
12. Sarah can do cornrows, or rather one single rat-tail cornrow down the back of your head, after which she gives up.
13. Sarah has about a million nicknames, and she only pretends to dislike them.
14. Sarah is so sincere, example: “Ms. Serensky, please write my essay.” Isn’t that what we all really wanted? All that complaining was just a smokescreen to hide what we were really asking for, and Sarah summed it up in six words.
15. Sarah is a great writer, and always has been, just check out her childhood journal, she’s a natural comedian.
16. Sarah is embarrassed by her friends; she shushes us if our voices become too piercing in public places. When I told her about this post she made a face and told me everyone would think I was weird and I shouldn’t do it. Obviously, I went ahead with it anyway, but please vote on my poll and let me know if you think this is weird.
HAPPY 18TH BIRTHDAY SARAH PE. ROSS/ ROSSI-POO-POO/ ROSS THE BOSS!
Acknowledgments go to Katie Connolly for her help in brainstorming this list.
By the way Ms. Serensky, Sarah REALLY wants the whole class to sing happy birthday to her to open up Blog Banter on Wednesday, she’s just too shy to ask you herself.
