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.

Kaleigh. I would like to thank you for the birthday commemoration. I would not like to thank you for the visual touches that you so kindly added to the bottom of the entry. I try to maintain a reputation of being somewhat normal. Also, I do not at all want the class to song happy birthday to me. I get embarassed when people just look at me, so just imagine how red I will get when people SING to me. Plus, a group is teaching tomorrow, and surely they did not pencil that into their adgenda.
ReplyDeleteKaleigh-
ReplyDeleteThis is great. I don't even know what some of these things are, but this is funny! And, if you do not get a chance to sing to her in class, don't fret! I work with Sarah at gurney through math monkey after school tomorrow and I'm sure the five and six year olds would love to sing to her! And, I hear they get hats and pins that say "birthday girl" so that's also a plus for her!

ReplyDeleteKaleigh, I love this blog post and the pictures are fantastic! I must say that my favorite memory with Sarah involves the first picture. Driving back from a football game in Perry, Sarah was unsure at which exit she was supposed to get off. So, after signaling to get off on the right, and after driving over half of the hatched-off area between the right lane of the highway and the exit ramp, Sarah decided to abruptly slow down, practically stop, and ask everyone in the car if this was the right exit. As everyone in the car, screamed, yelled and looked out the back window in hopes that the other cars going 70 mph would soon see Sarah's car and slow down, Sarah sat in the driver's seat giggling. Luckily we all made it home safely. Sarah did however inform everyone that she hits her mailbox and the side of her house every day. Scary. Anyways, happy early birthday Sarah!!
ReplyDeleteKaleigh, thank you very much for the mention. Sarah, you should not be embarrassed by this blog. First of all, Kaleigh chose rather flattering pictures of you. They really show off you brilliant comedic timing. And a person who willingly poses like that must not hate attention all that much. ;) Happy Birthday Sarah!
ReplyDeleteThis is probably one of my favorite blog posts. For so long I tried to figure out Sarah's url for her blog (and I was too lazy to look on my sheet) but I NEVER would've guessed it was "pe" that was holding me back. After reading this, I know never to get in the car with Sarah, lest I wish to die tragically.
ReplyDeleteKaleigh, thank you for sharing all of this information! I was laughing so hard while reading. I think she needs to give herself more credit and stop being so modest given that she is the reigning AP English student of the year!
ReplyDeleteKaleigh, I loved reading this post and learning what a young belligerent Sarah Ross truly is. You made some excellent points, and the pictures really add something special. I wish I could write such a post, but I'm afraid that it would not match up to the excellence of this one.
