Dear fellow bloggers:

Hi guys! My name is Sabrina, I'm 16 from Canada, and I'm a total awkward weirdo that posts random blogs about anything from fashion to books to travel. I wanted to make a post to see if I could find anyone else out there blogging about random cool things that I could follow cause most of the blogs I follow are extreeeemely boring. So if ya want me to check out your blog just post a comment or something, I pinky swear I'm nice! :) sidenote: I teach little kids how to swim right, and it is positively depressing how many of them have no idea what a pinky swear is. 

Anyways if you wanna check out some of my posts and give me some feedback that would be lovely too :) I know it's pretty dry so far.. I'm not too consistent but I'm hoping to spiffy it up a bit soon!!

So yeah, let me know about your blogs!!

Les Misérables

OK... so I know I`m a wee-bit slow on the up-take but I *finally* watched Les Mis earlier this month, after seeing all the fuss at the Oscars I just had to....  I cannot even reiterate the new found love and appreciation I have for Les Mis and, more importantly, Victor Hugo and french literature! Ou la la..

SIDENOTE: this time last year I was travelling through France and Italy with school, our first stop was Paris. While we were there we visited La Place des Vosges, where Victor Hugo used to live, back then I knew him only as the guy who wrote the Hunchback of Notre Dame. Now I can finally really appreciate the amazing writer he was, I can't get enough of it now... good thing Les Mis is so long... (like really?! holy moly, I did NOT expect that..)

So anyways, I now have the Les Mis soundtrack which I am amazed by; the fact that they sung live on set blows my mind... ooff. AND I picked up the book at Chapters earlier this week... it's very intimidating to say the least but I'm determined to read it. 

Finally, if you are like me, and absolutely *die* for history, literature, cinema, music and broadway THIS IS YOUR HOLY GRAIL. Also, if you are like me and love Les Mis a ridiculous amount: you rock, don't ever change. 


Anyone get the Lizzie McGuire reference? no? just me? ok.

Quick Update!

Hi guys!! Sorry I've been a-wall for the past little while but I've been trying to focus more on school and 'participating' in life... (notice the Perks reference?no?.. Ok) Basically it's a new semester, I hate school (still), and I'm antsy to get this year over with...! On the bright side, one more week until march break!!! What are your plans? This time last year I was gearing up for a tour of France, Monaco and Italy... the year before that, China! This year I get to stay at home. Yay. I have a tonne of family coming to town, which means my week will be filled with plenty of family fun! #yuck. I hope you all get to travel and do fun things on your march break! 

My next post I think will be an ode to my past March break travels, sigh. I miss that. :(
